RCORD POD Configuration

Once all the components needed for RCORD-Lite are up and running on your POD, you'll need to configure XOS with the proper configuration. Being this configuration environment specific, you'll need to create your own, here is a reference for it:

tosca_definitions_version: tosca_simple_yaml_1_0
imports:
  - custom_types/oltdevice.yaml
  - custom_types/switch.yaml
  - custom_types/switchport.yaml
  - custom_types/portinterface.yaml
  - custom_types/voltservice.yaml
  - custom_types/vrouterserviceinstance.yaml
  - custom_types/vrouterstaticroute.yaml

Once the POD has been configured, you can create a subscriber, please refer to the RCORD Service guide for more informations.

Zero touch Subscriber provisioning

This feature, also referred to as "bottom-up provisioning" enables autodiscovery of subscriber and their validation through an external OSS.

Here is the expected workflow:

  • when an ONU is attached to the POD, VOLTHA will discover it and send an event to XOS
  • XOS receive the ONU activated events and through an OSS-Service query the upstream OSS to validate wether that ONU has a valid serial number
  • once the OSS has approved the ONU, XOS will create ServiceInstance chain for this particular subscriber and configure the POD to give him connectivity

If you want to enable the "Zero touch provisioning" feature you'll need to deploy and configure some extra pieces in the system before attaching subscribers:

Kafka

To enable this feature XOS needs to receive events from onos-voltha so a kafka bus needs to be deployed. To deploy it please follow this instructions

OSS Service

This is the piece of code that is responsible to enable the communication between CORD and you OSS Database. For reference we are providing a sample implemetation, available here: hippie-oss

NOTE: this implementation will validate any subscriber that come online

To deploy the hippie-oss service you can look here.

Once the chart has come online, you'll need to add it to your service graph, and you can use this TOSCA for that:

tosca_definitions_version: tosca_simple_yaml_1_0
imports:
  - custom_types/hippieossservice.yaml
  - custom_types/servicedependency.yaml
  - custom_types/voltservice.yaml

        - provider_service:
            node: service#volt
            relationship: tosca.relationships.BelongsToOne

For instructions on how to push TOSCA, please refer to this guide

Configure onos-voltha to connect to the Kafka bus

Copy this in a kafka-config.json file:

{
  "apps" : {
    "org.opencord.olt" : {
      "kafka" : {
        "bootstrapServers" : "cord-kafka-kafka.default.svc.cluster.local:9092"
      }
    }
  }
}

Send this config to onos-voltha using this command:

curl --user karaf:karaf -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @kafka-config.json http://$node:$port/onos/v1/network/configuration/

To find out what ports onos-voltha is using, please refer to the chart.
