O-RU Controller

This documents describes the deployment of an O-RU Controller which could be used as component for O-DU and/or SMO implementations.

Prerequisites

Resources

The solution was tested on a VM with

  • 4x Core
  • 16 GBit RAM
  • 50 Gbit Storage

Operating (HOST) System

$ cat /etc/os-release | grep PRETTY_NAME
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS"

Docker

$ docker --version
Docker version 23.0.1, build a5ee5b1

Please follow the required docker daemon configuration as documented in the following README.md:

Docker Compose

$ docker compose version
Docker Compose version v2.17.2

GIT

$ git --version
git version 2.34.1

Python

$ python3 --version
Python 3.10.6

sudo apt install python3-pip pip install jproperties


It is beneficial (but not mandatory) adding the following line add the end of your ~/.bashrc file. I will suppress warnings when python script do not verify self signed certificates for HTTPS communication.

export PYTHONWARNINGS="ignore:Unverified HTTPS request"

ETC Host (DNS function)

Please modify the /etc/hosts of your system.

  • <your-system>: is the hostname of the system, where the browser is started

  • <deployment-system-ipv4>: is the IP address of the system where the solution will be deployed

For development purposes and may reference the same system.

$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	               localhost
127.0.1.1	               <your-system>

# SMO OAM development system
<deployment-system-ipv4>                   smo.o-ran-sc.org
<deployment-system-ipv4>           gateway.smo.o-ran-sc.org
<deployment-system-ipv4>          identity.smo.o-ran-sc.org
<deployment-system-ipv4>          messages.smo.o-ran-sc.org
<deployment-system-ipv4> ves-collector.oam.smo.o-ran-sc.org
<deployment-system-ipv4>         odlux.oam.smo.o-ran-sc.org
<deployment-system-ipv4>    controller.oam.smo.o-ran-sc.org

Bring Up Solution

The following commands should be invoked. More detailed can be found in the next chapters.

docker compose -f smo/common/docker-compose.yml up -d
python smo/common/identity/config.py
docker compose -f smo/oam/docker-compose.yml up -d odlux controller
docker compose -f network/docker-compose.yml up -d ntsim-ng-o-ru-fh-11221
python network/config.py

Verification Solution

Login into O-RU-Controller UI

https://odlux.oam.smo.o-ran-sc.org

User: admin // see .env file

Password: Kp8bJ4SXszM0WXlhak3eHlcse2gAw84vaoGGmJvUy2U

In case of trouble, please update the commands with your customized '.env' file.

Connection State of the simulated O-RU

In the O-RU Controller UI you should see the simulated O-RU connected as a kind of reference implementation.

Connection State

Alarm Notification of the simulated O-RU

In the O-RU Controller UI you should see the generated alarm notifications of the O-RU as a kind of reference implementation.

Alarm Notifications

Terminate solution

To stop all container please respect the following order

docker compose -f network/docker-compose.yml down
docker compose -f smo/oam/docker-compose.yml down
docker compose -f smo/common/docker-compose.yml down
