Graph example IMS MRF MRB MRF MRF- C+P MRF Storage HP Contribution on IMS MRF being approved for MANO GS IMS MRF is a Graph Containing 2 s: MRB and MRF MRB is a single component MRF has 2 components MRF C+P have been grouped together as they are deployed on same VM The 2 components have different redundancy models 26 13

14 Descriptor example Using MRB MRB Deployment requirements Active/Standby redundancy model VM number: 2 instances vcpu and vram needed Availability rule to force to deploy the 2 instances on 2 VMs located on different physical hardware resources. Highly Available IP network Operational requirements Support of typical lifecycle operations: provision, scale up/out, start, stop and delete Relationships: 2 external relationships: Relation MRB MRF-C Relation MRB S-CSCF. An S-CSCF should be present in the overall solution, but it is not part of the MRB and it might not even by a virtualized component. 27 IMS MRF use case ETSI contribution HP Contribution on IMS MRF being approved for MANO GS Provision IMS MRF Instlation data Provide initial configuration for each deployed artifact HP NFV Director Validate input data Create servers for each VM needed Show the 3 main steps of the provisioning of an IMS MRF instance: 1.
