SMO and Data Models
Introduction
The SMO uses data models to drive the configuration and management of the elements that make up the O-RAN solution over the NETCONF protocol. For an example of how the SMO (NETCONF client) interacts with the RIC, CU, DU and RU (each of which are NETCONF servers), see diagram below:
The SMO can offer REST APIs that can be used to drive the configuration on the RIC, CU, DU and the RU.
Testing of Data Models
SMO is collaborating with OAM project to test and drive the data models being published for the O-RAN solution. These models could come from 3GPP or from O-RAN itself. The models themselves will reside in the NETCONF server, e.g. in the near RT RIC, O-CU-UP, O-CU-CP, O-DU and the O-RU and will be requested by the NETCONF client, e.g. the SMO at the time the NETCONF session is established. Thereafter, an application like Postman can drive the north bound APIs exposed by the SMO. Example of these configuration snippets will appear in a Gerrit repository near you. For a visual of what the test framework looks like see the following diagram:
