Creating a VNF structure

When creating a VNF, you begin by creating a structure.

Before you begin

Remember: You must have a working orchestration environment, and have installed the correct tools (such as LMCTL) on your machine.

Procedure

Create a new VNF by using this LMCTL command:

lmctl project create --version *1.0* --servicetype VNF --name *name*

The result of this command is a new folder with some artifacts already created ready for population as the VNF and associated VNFC are created. This step also creates stub descriptors that will work with the orchestration tools.
