There are 2 NSs, one for the static services i.e, the services that will always be up, and another one for the non-static services, the ones that will go down and up when needed.
To prepare the system, OSM client must be installed and updated and have a VIM and OSM configured.
That said, the steps are as follows:
-
If you do not have the tar.gz of each NS and VNF configuration directory, you need to do the following
- For each NS and VNF configuration:
$ tar -czvf <name_of_NS_or_VNF_configuration_directory>.tar.gz <name_of_NS_or_VNF_configuration_directory>/This will create a single file with the collection of configuration files wrapped up in it
-
Do the onboarding of each VNF. To do this, do the following for each tar.gz of the VNFs configuration files:
$ osm vnfpkg-create <name_of_VNF_file_with_the_configuration>.tar.gz -
Do the onboarding of each NS. To do this, do the following for each tar.gz of the NSs configuration files:
$ osm nsd-create <name_of_NS_file_with_the_configuration>.tar.gz
The NSs and VNFs should be onboarded on the OSM, now you can instanciate the NS through the user interface.
Just do tar -xf <name_of_file_to_unpack_.tar.gz to unpack the content, change what you need, and repeat the process above.
