1  Scopep. 5

The present document (together with the relevant requirements described in [1], [2], [3] and [4]) specifies the requirements applicable to Configuration Management (CM) of virtualized network functions.

2  Referencesp. 5

The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
  • References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.
  • For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
  • For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.

4.1  Configuration management in the context of NFVp. 6

3GPP Configuration Management (CM) has system modification functions and system monitoring functions (as described in [3]).
The decoupling of software and hardware in NFV gives rise to the need to model the VNF application specific parameters (i.e. 3GPP service related) by 3GPP whilst modelling the VNF non-application specific parameters (i.e. non-3GPP service related) in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 008 [5].
For Configuration Management, NM and EM manage NEs and NRs and the related configuration parameters (e.g. identification, port, neighbour relation) which are modelled as the MO(s) and MO attributes. The MO attributes, which are defined by 3GPP, typically are VNF application specific parameters.
