VF-C supports  vCPE use case in R3,  all VNFs are deployed through VF-C GVNFM . This page describes how to use VF-C to instantiate NS |image0| .. |image0| image:: casrImage.png :width: 1000px :height: 600px Environment +++++++++++ VF-C components can run as docker, docker service should be installed before install VF-C components. The following scripts show the docker service install commands in centos7. :: yum install docker systemctl enable docker.service systemctl start docker.service Steps +++++ If you want to  try VF-C,  the small project set should include: VF-C , Multicloud, MSB, A&AI. VF-C components need to register to MSB when starting, so MSB components should be installed first,you can refer the following link to install MSB. http://onap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submodules/msb/apigateway.git/docs/platform/installation.html Note: In the following steps, we use ${MSB_IP} as the IP of msb_apigateway component. 1. Install vfc-nfvo-db component :: docker run -d -p 3306:3306 -p 6379:6379 --name vfc-db -v /var/lib/mysql nexus3.onap.org:10001/onap/vfc/db we use ${VFC_DB_IP} as the IP of vfc-db component. 2. Install vfc-nfvo-lcm component. :: docker run -d -p 8403:8403 --name vfc-nslcm -e MSB_ADDR=${MSB_IP}:80 -e MYSQL_ADDR=${VFC_DB_IP}:3306 nexus3.onap.org:10001/onap/vfc/nslcm 3. Install vfc-nfvo-catalog component. :: docker run -d -p 8806:8806 --name vfc-catalog -e MSB_ADDR=${MSB_IP}:80 -e MYSQL_ADDR=${VFC_DB_IP}:3306 nexus3.onap.org:10001/onap/vfc/catalog 4. Install vfc-nfvo-gvnfmdriver component. :: docker run -d -p 8484:8484 --name vfc-gvnfmdriver -e MSB_ADDR=${MSB_IP}:80 nexus3.onap.org:10001/onap/vfc/gvnfmdriver 5. Install vfc-gvnfm-vnflcm component. :: docker run -d -p 8801:8801 --name vfc-vnflcm -e MSB_ADDR=${MSB_IP}:80 -e MYSQL_ADDR=${VFC_DB_IP}:3306 nexus3.onap.org:10001/onap/vfc/vnflcm ESR Registration ++++++++++++++++ Before we instantiate a service, we need to register vim and vnfm which is used to deploy vnfs. 1.VIM Registration |image1| .. |image1| image:: vim.png :width: 1000px :height: 600px 2. GVNFM Registration For VF-C, because we use GVNFM to deploy vnfs , so you can register GVNFM in esr gui as follows: |image2| .. |image2| image:: gvnfm.png :width: 1000px :height: 600px Note: type should be gvnfmdriver which is the same with gvnfmdriver microservice url is the msb-iag NodeIp:port  vim corresponds to cloudowner_cloudregionid which registered in step1 Package Onboarding ++++++++++++++++++ VF-C R3 support VNF/PNF/NS csar package upload from local csar file. VNF/PNF csar package should be uploaded first, then NS csar package can be uploaded. Before onboarding a package,  should create one record first.  1. Create VNF package record in catalog DB :: curl -X POST \ http://172.30.3.104:30280/api/vnfpkgm/v1/vnf_packages \ -H 'Postman-Token: f9c45dea-b7bb-4acd-89e1-b9b1c3d70d8a' \ -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \ -H 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW' \ -F 'userDefinedData= "key2": "value2"' Note:   a. 172.30.3.104:30280 is the node IP and exposed port where the msb-iag pod is located.  b. userDefinedData is the key value pair which defined for the vnf package we created 2. Upload VNF package to VF-C catalog :: curl -X PUT \ http://172.30.3.104:30280/api/vnfpkgm/v1/vnf_packages/38037a12-a0d4-4aa4-ac50-cd6b05ce0b24/package_content \ -H 'Postman-Token: 88ada218-86fd-4cd7-a06e-cc462f5df651' \ -H 'cache-control: no-cache' -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW' \ -F 'file=@C:\ONAP\Integration\R3\vCPE\vnf-vsn.csar' Note: a.  38037a12-a0d4-4aa4-ac50-cd6b05ce0b24  is the vnf_pkg_id which we get from the first step b.  -F is used to specify the local vnf package file 3. Create NS package record in catalog DB :: curl -X POST \ http://172.30.3.104:30280/api/nsd/v1/ns_descriptors \ -H 'Postman-Token: 71b11910-1708-471c-84bb-5b0dd8d214a2' \ -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \ -H 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW' \ -F 'userDefinedData= "key1": "value1"' Note: a. userDefinedData is the key value pair which defined for the ns package we created 4. Upload NS package to VF-C catalog :: curl -X PUT \ http://172.30.3.104:30280/api/nsd/v1/ns_descriptors/79ca81ec-10e0-44e4-bc85-ba968f345711/nsd_content \ -H 'Postman-Token: f16e4a54-a514-4878-b307-9b80c630166e' \ -H 'cache-control: no-cache' -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW' \ -F 'file=@C:\ONAP\Integration\R3\vCPE\ns.csar' Note: a.  -F is used to specify the local ns package file NS Life Cycle Management ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Currently VF-C GVNFM support NS create/Instantiate/terminate/delete/heal.
