No common lab found to test the components ( FOCOM, NFO (ETSi and K8s), DMS, OAI and Nephio). 

No complete setup is still available.

Taiwan Lab- 

One O-Cloud server is being helped from Taiwan lab - Bimo would to provide the details.

Got  a machine from Taiwan lab, thnks to Bimo, would need another server to test the FOCOM and NFO.

Need another server to deploy the SMO components, can get the lab for a month or 2 - BIMO will help us on this.

OAI lab -  

Procurement of the servers is in progress. Sagar - would be updating us on this.

2 servers (Intel 5th gen) are obtained and installation would begin from next week. 

West and East coast LabsLabs 

Challenging to get the labs at the moment - JamesJames 

no update

Powder servers would be a temp soln, weather it would be applicable to this integration - Need to investigate this further - Sagar

...

Capgemini - Vishal would get back on this. 

Yet to complete the installation, the public IP config has some issues and being sorted out.

Japan Japan Lab

OTIC - Toshi would check this part and update.

No update yet, Kuno san would check with the the OTIC lab on the servers avaialability.

Cosmos Lab

The lab is still not available - Martin

...

Mitigation Plan:

To have a dedicated lab to test the E2E scenario, to help OAI with the needful approvals to accelerate the lab setup.dedicated lab to test the E2E scenario, to help OAI with the needful approvals to accelerate the lab setup.

NFO (DMS K8s) : 

                  the coding of the NFO K8s profile to integrate with Helm client, is completed and testing is in progress

                    Helm repo as a repo is awaited for the OAI helm charts.

                   The future step is to have the DMS K8s profile APIs to be realized through the NFO SBI.

NFO (DMS ETSi through Tacker) :

                Tacker integration the Ocloud is targeting the FM/PM usecase has started.

                Next work is to complete the sequencing and have the FM/PM usecase implemented.

                FM data was demoed using the simulators in the plugfest of Nov 2023. 

                PM data needs a deeped digging on how to be demoed.

FOCOM:

              The O-Cloud operator that is developed as a pet project is being refined.

              We are currently adapting to the Nephio operator way, we are bridging the operator to work for both OSC and Nephio.

              Once the translating is complete we would need an env to test it E2E with a new cluster on the OSC-INF.

Nephio SIG-2 Automation:

               We have yet to present it in a future meeting, where we need to present the way Nephio and OSC.

Futuristic Functions in SMO:

Inventory

            Currently we are dependent on the IMS data base for all the related info of the clusters.  

            This needs to be corrected and have the updates directly in the SMO Inventory (closer to IMS).

             IMS should update this inventory on any change made to the underlying O-cloud.

             Esp NFO currently fetches the DMS id from IMS database.

            The current inventory simulator in the OAM component is more of a reference than a realistic inventory.

            AAI was one of the candidates, but is found too heavy for the RAN based operations.

SO (as an E2E orchestration piece)

         This is being discussed in the ORAN WG1 and would be integrating with both FOCOM and NFO.

         SBI of SO would integrate with the current FOCOM and NFO.

         Homing and placement decisions would be part of the SO and would drill down to the NFO for the actual work delegation.

J release:

Updates from Nephio, OAI integration work.

...

• ETSi DMS (through Tacker) - Toshi
  • OAI oDU to be instantiation through the ETSi Profile (Tacker)
  • Stretch : FM Data from the OAI oDU (TB Checked on API and workload)  if can be generated and captured by the Tacker (This is in-line to the Plugfest NA (Dec -2023) usecase).
    • Action 1 : Seshu to check with OAI team on the possibilities. ODU PTL (Ankit) to be checked for the example implemented in the OSC.
    •            2 :  Toshi  To discuss the E2E scope of this functionality. (Involve OAM)
  • PM Data would be a future scope  item.
    • 3GPP File based are already supported by RIC- John
    • Stream based is open - John. 
• FOCOM - Seshu
• NFO K8s Profile - Seshu
• Recording: 150
