This page describes how to get the release B version of NonRTRIC Non-RT RIC up and running locally with two separate NearRTNear-RT RIC simulator docker containers providing OSC_2.1.0 version of A1 interface.
All four components of the NonRTRIC the Non-RT RIC (from three different repos) run inside docker containers and communicate via a docker network. Details of the architecture can be found from Release B page.
...
To support local test with two separate NearRTNear-RT RIC simulator instances:
- create a new nonrtric/policy-agent/config/application_configuration.json with the configuration below
- The controller hostname and port values come from and must match those defined in nonrtric/sdnc-a1-controller/oam/installation/src/main/yaml/docker-compose.yml
- any defined ric names must match the given docker container names in nearRTnear-RT RIC simulator startup - port is always the simulator's internal 8085
...
- A1 Controller must be started first to set up docker network
- Change directory:
cd nonrtric/sdnc-a1-controller/oam/installation/src/main/yaml - Run docker container using the command below
docker-compose up a1-controller- the container is ready once message "Healthcheck Passed in XX seconds." appears
- note that certificate-related errors "cp: can't stat '/opt/opendaylight/current/certs/*': No such file or directory" and "Error: File not found in path entered" can be ignored
- The Karaf logs of A1 controller can be followed e.g. by using command
docker exec a1-controller-container sh -c "tail -f /opt/opendaylight/data/log/karaf.log"
Run Near-RT - RIC Simulator Docker Containers
...
- Run docker container using this command once A1 Controller and simulators have been fully started:
docker run -p 8081:8081 --network=nonrtric-docker-net --name=policy-agent-container o-ran-sc/nonrtric-policy-agent:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT - Once policy-agent is up and running, it establishes connections to all configured NearRTNear-RT RICs
- If policy-agent-container is configured to log at DEBUG level, the following logs should appear to log to show that connection to the configured RICs has been established successfully via A1 Controller.
