Onboarding VNFC to IBM Telco Network Cloud Manager - Orchestration

Onboarding is the process of loading details of a VNFC into the IBM® Telco Network Cloud Manager - Orchestration and the Resource Manager, so that both can manage the VNFC.

About this task

The steps taken to onboard a VNFC are:
  • Build a package from the source folders of the VNFC
  • Onboard the package to the Ansible Resource Manager so that it can now handle that VNFC type
  • Refresh the details of the packages supported by the Ansible Resource Manager instance in the IBM Telco Network Cloud Manager - Orchestration

Procedure

You onboard a VNFC by running a command in the project folder to deploy this VNFC to the “dev” environment.
In this example we are using the Ansible Resource Manager to which we will onboard the VNFC. The VNFC descriptor is pushed to IBM Telco Network Cloud Manager - Orchestration and the Resource Manager.
