ETSI NFV-SOL Change External VNF Connectivity¶
This document describes how to change external VNF connectivity in Tacker v2 API.
Prerequisites¶
The following packages should be installed:
tacker
python-tackerclient
Execute up to “Instantiate VNF” in the procedure of ETSI NFV-SOL VNF Deployment as VM with LCM Operation User Data. In other words, the procedure after “Terminate VNF” is not executed.
Change External VNF Connectivity¶
As mentioned in Prerequisites, the VNF must be created before performing change external connectivity.
Assuming that the following VNF instance exists, this instance will be changed.
Details of CLI commands are described in VNF Lifecycle Management.
For changing external VNF connectivity, you need to prepare a JSON-formatted definition file before running command for changing the connectivity.

Note
sample_param_file.json contains all the data of port resource information. If no setting is contained, it is treated as a change in information.
Note
The change external VNF Connectivity operation can change the
vimConnectionInfo associated with an existing VNF instance.
Even if change external VNF Connectivity operation specify multiple
vimConnectionInfo associated with one VNF instance, only one of
them will be used for life cycle management operations.
It is not possible to delete the key of registered vimConnectionInfo.
How to Change the Specific Port Setting¶
Execute Change External VNF Connectivity CLI command and check ‘ID’ and ‘Stack Status’ of the stack before and after operation. This is to confirm that stack ‘ID’ has no change before and after operation, and that the Stack update has been completed successfully. See Heat CLI reference. for details on Heat CLI commands.
Stack information before operation:
$ openstack stack list -c 'ID' -c 'Stack Name' -c 'Stack Status'
Result:
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+-----------------+
| ID | Stack Name | Stack Status |
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+-----------------+

$ openstack stack resource list HEAT_STACK_ID
