5.2.7. ONAP Heat Cinder Volumes
Cinder Volumes are created with the heat resource OS::Cinder::Volume.
As stated in (R-46119), (R-90748), (R-03251), a
VNF’s Heat Orchestration Template’s Resource OS::Cinder::Volume
MAY be defined in a Base Module, Incremental Module, or Cinder
Volume Module.
ONAP supports the independent deployment of a Cinder volume via separate Heat Orchestration Templates, the Cinder Volume module. This allows the volume to persist after VNF deletion so that they can be reused on another instance (e.g., during a failover activity).
A Base Module or Incremental Module may have a corresponding volume module. Use of separate volume modules is optional. A Cinder volume may be embedded within the Base Module or Incremental Module if persistence is not required.
If a VNF Base Module or Incremental Module has an independent volume module, the scope of volume templates must be 1:1 with Base module or Incremental module. A single volume module must create only the volumes required by a single Incremental module or Base module.
As stated in (R-11200), a VNF’s Cinder Volume Module, when it exists, MUST be 1:1 with a Base module or Incremental module. That is, A single volume module must create only the volumes required by a single Incremental module or Base module.
As stated in (R-30395), a VNF’s Cinder Volume Module MAY utilize nested heat.
As stated in (R-89913), a VNF’s Heat Orchestration Template’s Cinder Volume Module Output Parameter(s) MUST include the UUID(s) of the Cinder Volumes created in template, while others MAY be included.
As stated in (R-07443), a VNF’s Heat Orchestration Templates’ Cinder Volume Module Output Parameter’s name and type MUST match the input parameter name and type in the corresponding Base Module or Incremental Module.
A volume template must define outputs
for each Cinder volume resource
universally unique identifier (UUID) (i.e. ONAP Volume Template Output
Parameters.
The VNF Incremental Module or Base Module must define input parameters that match each Volume output parameter (i.e., ONAP Volume Template Output Parameters).
ONAP will supply the volume template outputs automatically to the bases/incremental template input parameters.
Volume modules may utilize nested Heat templates.
Requirement: R-270358

A VNF’s Heat Orchestration Template’s Cinder Volume Template MUST contain either
|
5.2.7.1. Optional Property availability_zone
Requirement: R-25190
|
A VNF’s Heat Orchestration Template’s Resource |
If the property is used, the value MUST
be enumerated in the environment file and must be set to nova
, which
is the default. There are no requirements on the parameter naming
convention with the exception that the naming convention MUST NOT be the
same as the OS::Nova::Server
property availability_zone
(i.e.,
availability_zone_{index}
).
5.2.7.2. Optional Property volume_type
OpenStack supports multiple volume types. If the OS::Cinder::Volume
optional property volume_type
is not specified, the OpenStack default
volume type
is used. If a specific volume type is required, the property
is used and the value MUST be enumerated in the environment file. There
are no requirements on the parameter naming convention.
5.2.7.3. Cinder Volume Examples
Examples: Volume Template
A VNF has a Cinder volume module, named incremental_volume.yaml, that creates an independent Cinder volume for a VM in the module incremental.yaml. The incremental_volume.yaml defines a parameter in the output section, dns_volume_id_0 which is the UUID of the cinder volume. dns_volume_id_0 is defined as a parameter in incremental.yaml. ONAP captures the UUID value of dns_volume_id_0 from the volume module output statement and provides the value to the incremental module.
Note that the example below is not a complete Heat Orchestration Template. The {vm-type} has been defined as “dns”.
