22 APPC LCM API Guide
23 ==================
24
25 Introduction
26 ============
27
28 This guide describes the APPC API that allows you to manage and control the life cycle of controlled virtual network functions (VNFs).
29
30
31 Target Audience
32 ---------------
33 This document is intended for an advanced technical audience, such as the engineers or architects who need to use this guide to develop an interfacing application. The guide assumes a knowledge of the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) components and features, and familiarity with JSON notation.
34
35
36 Life Cycle Management Commands
37 ==============================
38
39 APPC receives commands from external ONAP components, such as SO, Policy, DCAE, or the Portal, to manage the life cycle of virtual applications and their components.
40
41 A virtual application is composed of the following layers of network technology:
42
43 - Virtual Network Function (VNF)
44 - Virtual Network Function Component (VNFC)
45 - Virtual Machine (VM)
46
47 A Life Cycle Management (LCM) command may affect one or more of these layers.
48
49 An LCM command is sent as a request to the APPC using an HTTP POST request or in a message on a message bus (DMaaP).  A request may result in either a single synchronous response or multiple asynchronous responses:
50
51 - An **asynchronous** command, which is sent as an authorized and valid request, results in at least two discrete response events:
52     - an accept response, to indicate that the request is accepted for processing
53     - a final response to indicate the status and outcome of the request processing
54     - An unauthorized or invalid request results in a single ERROR response.
55
56 - A **synchronous** command, such as Lock or Unlock, results in a single response that is either SUCCESS or ERROR.
57
58 **NOTE:** For both asynchronous or synchronous commands, the first response is always returned using the same transport that the initial action used. For example, if the action request was via the message bus (such as when it originates from Policy), then the response is also via the message bus. However, if the request was via a direct HTTP call, the response is similarly a synchronous HTTP response.
59
60
61 Message Bus and the LCM API Client Library
62 ------------------------------------------
63
64 The recommended approach for sending/receiving requests to APPC is via the message bus.   To support this approach, an APPC client library is available and should be used.  The client library aims to provide consumers of APPC capabilities with a strongly-typed Java interface and to encapsulate the actual interaction with APPC component via the message bus.
65
66 For more details, see the APPC Client Library Guide at:
67
68   :ref:`appc_client_library`
69
70
71 The client library supports both synchronous and asynchronous flows as follows.
72
73 Asynchronous Flow
74 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
75
76 - The APPC Client Library is called via an asynchronous API using a full command object, which is mapped to a JSON representation.
77 - The APPC client calls the message bus client and sends the JSON command to a configured topic.
78 - The APPC client pulls response messages from the configured topic.
79 - On receiving the response for the command, APPC client runs the relevant callback method of the consumer ResponseHandler.
80
81 Synchronous Flow
82 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
83
84 - The APPC Client Library is called via a synchronous API using a full command object, which is mapped to a JSON representation.
85 - The APPC client calls the message bus client and sends the JSON command to a configured topic.
86 - The APPC client pulls response messages from the configured topic.
87 - On receiving the final response for the command, the APPC client returns the response object with a final status.
88
89 The client library adds the following wrapper around request and responses to the LCM API (described below)::
90
91     {
92         "version" : "2.0",
93         "cambria.partition" : "<TOPIC>",
94         "correlation-id" :"<CORRELATION_ID>",
95         "rpc-name" : "<RPC_NME>",
96         "type" : <MESSAGE_TYPE>
97         "body" : <RPC_SPECIFIC_BODY>
98     }

139 Generic Request Format
140 ----------------------
141
142 The LCM API general request format is applicable for both POST HTTP API and for the message body received via the message bus.
143
144 LCM Request
145 ^^^^^^^^^^^
146
147 The LCM request comprises a common header and a section containing the details of the LCM action.

249 Request Processing and Validation Logic
250 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
251
252 When a new request is received, APPC applies the following validation logic. For any failure, the request is rejected and an error (300 range) is returned.
253
254 1. If the request has timeout (i.e., the difference between current
255    time and the request timestamp value is greater than TTL value in
256    request), a timeout error is returned.
257
258 2. If the request is a duplicate of an existing request in progress
259    (same request-id, sub-request-id, originator-id), a duplicate error
260    is returned.
261
262 3. If there is a Lock on the vnf-id, reject any new action if it is not
263    associated with the locking request-id, a lockout error is returned.
264
265 4. If the Force flag = Y, then allow the new action regardless of
266    whether there is an action in progress.
267
268 5. If the Mode flag = Exclusive on a request in progress, any new
269    request is rejected until the request in progress is completed.
270
271 6. If request is received and there are one or more requests in
272    progress, then the new request is evaluated to determine if there is
273    any overlap in scope with the existing requests (for example, a new
274    VNF level request would overlap with another request in progress).
275
276    a. If there is no overlap between the new request and requests in
277       progress, the new request is accepted. 
278
279    b. If there is overlap, then only special cases are allowed in
280       parallel (for example, Audit and HealthCheck are allowed).

621 The APPC architecture is designed for VNF self-service onboarding (i.e., a VNF owner or vendor through the use of tools can enable a new VNF to support the LCM API actions that are designate as self-service). The VNF must support one or more of the following interface protocols:
622
623 -  Netconf with uploadable Yang model (requires a Netconf server running
624    on the VNF)
625
626 -  Chef (requires a Chef client running on the VNF)
627
628 -  Ansible (does not require any changes to the VNF software)
629
630 The self-service onboarding process is done using an APPC Design GUI (also referred to as CDT) which interacts with an APPC instance which is dedicated to self-service onboarding. The steps in the onboarding process using the APPC Design GUI are:
631
632 -  Define the VNF capabilities (set of actions that the VNF can
633    support).
634
635 -  Create a template and parameter definitions for actions which use the
636    Netconf, Chef, or Ansible protocols. The template is an xml or JSON
637    block which defines the “payload” which is included in the request
638    that is downloaded the VNF (if Netconf) or Chef/Ansible server.
639
640 -  Test actions which have templates/parameter definitions.
641
642 -  Upload the VNF definition, template, and parameter definition
643    artifacts to SDC which distributes them to all APPC instances in the
644    same environment (e.g., production).

651 ============
652
653 The LCM commands that are valid for the current release.
654
655 ActionStatus
656 ------------
657
658 The ActionStatus command returns that state of any action request that has been previously submitted to an APPC instance for a specified VNF. This enables the client to know the status of a previous request and helps them decide if they should reissue a request.

684
685 ActionStatus Response:
686 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
687
688 A successful response contains a payload with the following:
689
690 +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------+------------------------------+
691 |     **Payload Parameter**   |     **Description**                                                   |     **Required**   |     **Example**              |

696 |                             |                                                                       |                    |                              |
697 |                             |     SUCCESSFUL – The request returned success message                 |                    |                              |
698 |                             |                                                                       |                    |                              |
699 |                             |     FAILED – The request failed and returned an error message         |                    |                              |
700 |                             |                                                                       |                    |                              |
701 |                             |     ABORTED – the request aborted                                     |                    |                              |

704 +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------+------------------------------+
705
706 If the ActionStatus request was rejected or could not be processed, it returns a valid error code or error message (but no payload).Example below:
707
708     ``"message": "MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOUND - using search criteria:
709     request- id=c09ac7d1-de62-0016-2000-e63701125559 AND
710     vnf-id=ctsf0007v", "code": 315``
711
712 AttachVolume
713 ------------
714
715 The AttachVolume command attaches a cinder volume to a VM via an Openstack command.
716
717 Cinder is a Block Storage service for OpenStack. It's designed to present storage resources to end users that can be consumed by the OpenStack Compute Project (Nova). The short description of Cinder is that it virtualizes the management of block storage devices and provides end users with a self service API to request and consume those resources without requiring any knowledge of where their  storage is actually deployed or on what type of device.
718
719     NOTE: The command implementation is based on Openstack
720     functionality. For further details, see
721     http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/.

749 AttachVolume Response:
750 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
751
752 Success: A successful AttachVolume returns a success status code 400.
753
754 Failure: A failed AttachVolume returns a failure code 401 and the failure message. Failure messages can include:

758 -  forbidden
759 -  itemNotFound
760
761
762 Audit
763 -----
764
765 The Audit command compares the configuration of the VNF associated with the current request against the most recent configuration that is stored in APPC's configuration database.
766
767 A successful Audit means that the current VNF configuration matches the latest APPC stored configuration.
768
769 A failed Audit indicates that the configurations do not match.
770
771 This command can be applied to any VNF type. The only restriction is that the VNF has been onboarded in self-service mode (which requires that the VNF supports a request to return the running configuration).
772
773 The Audit action does not require any payload parameters.
774
775 **NOTE:** Audit does not return a payload containing details of the comparison, only the Success/Failure status.

803
804 Audit Response
805 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
806
807 The audit response returns an indication of success or failure of the audit. If a new configuration is uploaded to the APPC database, the payload contains the ‘upload\_config\_id’ and values for any records created. In addition, the configuration is sent to the bus which may be received by an external configuration storage system.
808
809
810 CheckLock
811 ---------
812
813 The CheckLock command returns true if the specified VNF is locked; otherwise, false is returned.
814
815 A CheckLock command is deemed successful if the processing completes without error, whether the VNF is locked or not. The command returns only a single response with a final status.
816
817 Note that APPC locks the target VNF during any VNF command processing, so a VNF can have a locked status even if no Lock command has been explicitly called.
818
819 The CheckLock command returns a specific response structure that extends the default LCM response.
820
821 The CheckLock action does not require any payload parameters.

1076 ConfigScaleOut
1077 --------------
1078
1079 The ConfigScaleOut command is used to apply any actions on a VNF as part of a ScaleOut flow. Actions could include updating the VNF configuration or running a set of other tasks.
1080
1081 The ConfigScaleOut action can have multiple APPC templates associated with it.  APPC retrieves the VfModuleModelName from A&AI (model.model-vers.model-name), which is used as the unique identifier to select the correct APPC template.
1082 APPC creates or updates VNFC records in A&AI for the newly instantiated VM’s.  The orchestration-status of the VNFC’s is set to CONFIGURED.
1083
1084 This action is supported via the Netconf (limited to configuration changes), Chef, and Ansible protocols.

1133 DetachVolume
1134 ------------
1135
1136 The DetachVolume command detaches a cinder volume from a VM via an Openstack command.
1137
1138 Cinder is a Block Storage service for OpenStack. It's designed to present storage resources to end users that can be consumed by the OpenStack Compute Project (Nova). The short description of Cinder is that it virtualizes the management of block storage devices and provides end users with a self-service API to request and consume those resources without requiring any knowledge of where their storage is actually deployed or on what type of device.
1139
1140 NOTE: The command implementation is based on Openstack functionality. For further details, see http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/.

1274 HealthCheck Response
1275 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1276
1277 **Success:** The HealthCheck returns a 400 success message if the test completes. A JSON payload is returned indicating state (healthy, unhealthy), scope identifier, time-stamp and one or more blocks containing info and fault information.
1278
1279     Examples::
1280
1281                 {
1282                   "identifier": "scope represented", 
1283                   "state": "healthy",
1284                   "time": "01-01-1000:0000"
1285
1286                 }
1287
1288                 {
1289                    "identifier": "scope represented", 
1290                    "state": "unhealthy",
1291                         {[
1292                    "info": "System threshold exceeded details", 
1293                    "fault":
1294                          {
1295                            "cpuOverall": 0.80,
1296                            "cpuThreshold": 0.45
1297                          }
1298                         ]},
1299                    "time": "01-01-1000:0000"
1300                 }
1301
1302 **Failure:** If the VNF is unable to run the HealthCheck. APP-C returns the error code 401 and the http error message.
1303
1304
1305 Lock
1306 ----
1307
1308 Use the Lock command to ensure exclusive access during a series of critical LCM commands.
1309
1310 The Lock action will return a successful result if the VNF is not already locked or if it was locked with the same request-id, otherwise the action returns a response with a reject status code.
1311
1312 Lock is a command intended for APPC and does not execute an actual VNF command. Instead, lock will ensure that ONAP is granted exclusive access to the VNF.
1313
1314 When a VNF is locked, any subsequent sequential commands with same request-id will be accepted. Commands associated with other request-ids will be rejected.
1315
1316 APPC locks the target VNF during any VNF command processing. If a lock action is then requested on that VNF, it will be rejected because the VNF was already locked, even though no actual lock command was explicitly invoked.
1317
1318 The lock automatically clears after 900 seconds (15 minutes). This 900 second value can be adjusted in the properties file

1332 Lock Response
1333 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1334
1335 The Lock returns a 400 Success response if the Lock is successfully applied.
1336
1337 The Lock returns a 401 Failure response with the failure message if the Lock is not successful.

1340 Migrate
1341 -------
1342
1343 Migrates a running target VM from its current host to another.
1344
1345 A destination node will be selected by relying on internal rules to migrate. Migrate calls a command in order to perform the operation.
1346
1347 Migrate suspends the guest virtual machine, and moves an image of the guest virtual machine's disk to the destination host physical machine. The guest virtual machine is then resumed on the destination host physical machine and the disk storage that it used on the source host physical machine is freed.
1348
1349 The migrate action will leave the VM in the same Openstack state the VM had been in prior to the migrate action. If a VM was stopped before migration, a separate VM-level restart command would be needed to restart the VM after migration.
1350
1351
1352 **NOTE:** The command implementation is based on Openstack functionality. For further details, see http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/.

1426 QuiesceTraffic Response
1427 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1428
1429 The response does not include any payload parameters.
1430
1431 **Success:** A successful quiesce returns a success status code 400 after all traffic has been quiesced.
1432
1433    If a quiesce command is executed and the traffic has been previously quiesced, it should return a success status.
1434
1435 **Failure:** A failed quiesce returns a failure code 401 and the failure message from the Ansible or Chef server in the response payload block.
1436

1440
1441 Rebuild
1442 -------
1443
1444 Recreates a target VM instance to a known, stable state.
1445
1446 Rebuild calls an OpenStack command immediately and therefore does not expect any prerequisite operations to be performed, such as shutting off a VM.
1447
1448 Rebuild VM uses the snapshot provided by the snapshot-id (if provided).  If not provided, the latest snapshot is used.  If there are no snapshots, it uses the (original) Glance image.
1449
1450 APPC rejects a rebuild request if it determines the VM boots from a Cinder Volume
1451
1452
1453 **NOTE:** The command implementation is based on Openstack functionality. For further details, see http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/.

1793 Unlock
1794 ------
1795
1796 Run the Unlock command to release the lock on a VNF and allow other clients to perform LCM commands on that VNF.
1797
1798 Unlock is a command intended for APPC and does not execute an actual VNF command. Instead, unlock will release the VNF from the exclusive access held by the specific request-id allowing other requests for the VNF to be accepted.
1799
1800 The Unlock command will result in success if the VNF successfully unlocked or if it was already unlocked, otherwise commands will be rejected.
1801
1802 The Unlock command will only return success if the VNF was locked with same request-id.
1803
1804 The Unlock command returns only one final response with the status of the request processing.
1805
1806 Note: APPC locks the target VNF during any command processing. If an Unlock action is then requested on that VNF with a different request-id, it will be rejected because the VNF is already locked for another process, even though no actual lock command was explicitly invoked.

2058 UpgradeSoftware Response
2059 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2060
2061 **Success:** A successful upgrade returns a success status code 400.
2062
2063 If an UpgradeSoftware command is executed and the software has been previously upgraded to this version, it should return a success status.
2064
2065 **Failure:** A failed upgrade returns a failure code 401 and the failure message from the Ansible or Chef server in the response payload block. A failure does not assume that the software upgrade has been rolled back.
2066
2067 Notes regarding the Upgrade commands
2068 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2069 Ansible playbooks / Chef cookbooks:
2070
2071 -  All Ansible playbooks/cookbooks for the Upgrade commands will be
2072    stored in the same directory on the server. The directory name will
2073    be of the format: 
2074    
2075         {existing-software-version_new-software-version}. 
2076                 
2077                 The path to the directory is the same for all upgrades (for example: vnf-type/softwareupgrade).
2078
2079 -  The playbooks for upgrades should use a standard naming convention
2080    (for example: SoftwareUpgrade_{existing-software-version_new-software-version}).
2081
2082 APPC template: The APPC templates for the Upgrade commands can be common across upgrades for the vnf-type if the path and filenames are standardized.
2083
2084 -  The template will contain the directory path/playbook name which
2085    would be parameterized.
2086
2087     {vnf-type}/UpgradeSoftware/${existing_software_version}_${new-software-version}/
2088     SoftwareUpgrade_{existing-software-version_new-software-version}.
