Guide for hpa_automation.py script in heat

These guide describes how to run the hpa_automation.py script. It can be used to run the vFW and vDNS end to end use cases.

Prerequisites

  1. Install ONAP CLI. See link
  2. Install python mysql.connector (pip install mysql-connector-python)
  3. Must have connectivity to the ONAP, a k8s vm already running is recommended as connectivity to the ONAP k8s network is required for the SDC onboarding section.
  4. Create policies for homing using the temp_resource_module_name specified in hpa_automation_config.json. Sample policies can be seen in the sample_vfw_policies directory. Be sure to specify the right path to the directory in hpa_automation_config.json
  5. Create Nodeport for Policy pdp using the pdp_service_expose.yaml file (copy pdp_service_expose.yaml in hpa_automation/heat to rancher and run kubectl apply -f pdp_expose.yaml)
  6. Put in the CSAR file to be used to create service models and specify its path in hpa_automation_config.json
  7. Modify the SO bpmn configmap to change the SO vnf adapter endpoint to v2. See step 4 here
  8. Prepare sdnc_preload file and put in the right path to its location in hpa_automation_config.json
  9. Put in the right parameters for automation in hpa_automation_config.json
  10. Ensure the insert_policy_models_heat.py script is in the same location as the hpa_automation.py script as the automation scripts calls the insert_policy_models_heat.py script.
