Notes:

Housekeeping:

• Reminder from previous weeks:
  • OSC SMO calls now move to its own time slot - Thursdays
  • See OSC RSAC Calendar: https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/RSAC/calendars
  • (Note this meeting to open to anyone, including non-ORAN members)
  • We will maintain this slot for ONAP Alignment, and try flag issues/question to/from SMO meetings.
  • See OSC SMO Project meeting notes
    
• O-RAN has declared that recording are kept for 2 weeks only. Does this apply to us? 
  • Is this a requirement, a privacy issue or a cost issue?
  • Not sure - the recording storage quota that we use is currently full - so we may need to delete old cloud recording?
  • All past recording are also available as files uploaded to the wiki pages - May be a  storage issue later, but no plans to delete as yet.

OSC Project roundup:

NONRTRIC (John Keeney)

• As per last week:
  • Working hard on integration & documentation tasks now for OSC D release
  • John Keeney Martin Skorupski Alex Stancu - Will have a quick chat about double-checking integration environment. Looks good!
• John Keeney Brief feedback of what happened at OSC TOC call this week:  https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/TOC#ORANSCTechnicalOversightCommittee(TOC)-20210616 (Minutes not yet updated at time of writing)

  • Need to push on with D Release task
  • Release E planning will start at RSAC tomorrow.

SIM (Alex Stancu)

• OSC Lab Integration environment is up & running now
  
  • Includes OAM, ONAP-SMO components, NONRTRIC and SIM components.
  • See Closed Loop Use Case Testing & https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/oam/+/6238

OAM (Martin Skorupski)

• Working on deployment & integration & OSC lab setup.
  • See also Closed Loop Use Case Testing & D-Release Integration 
  • See https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/oam/+/6238
• Some updates required with certs etc when using ONAP Honolulu functions using OOM (& some chart updates)
  
  • See slack channel  https://onapproject.slack.com/archives/CLF0KRNKF/p1623835991081200 ?
• user-4594e: NF-OAM-Adapter making good progress and finally running

O-DU (HariomGupta(HCL))

• OSC Lab & local testing
  • Is integration environment IPv6 only? Working on a small issue with IPv6 now.
• Issue with checking/waiting of SMO is up & running when O-DU comes up (ves:pnfRegistration event may be ignored, or should be sent in a loop? SIM just once? Multiple events is no harm.)
  • May need to a timed loop to keep checking (e.g. every minute?). Not a great solution but prob OK for the Release D use case.
  • In OSC lab the SMO will already be running.
  • If NetConf client is up before O-DU it will keep trying until Netconf port is open.
    • (Best to only open the port when the O-DU is ready? Best to send ves:pnfRegistration event only when O-DU is up?)
  • Should discuss in RSAC.
  • ... may need to do some more testing of these edge cases ....
• Ongoing discussion over email about how OTF starts (configures? ) the O-DU high.

ONAP SMO deployment options (Christophe Closset (AT&T) & Amar Kapadia (AARNA))

• REF: Last week Proposal for an ONAP deployment specific for an ORAN SMO
  • Christophe not available to join this week - Hopefully we can discuss a little more next week.
  • Ref: https://jira.onap.org/browse/REQ-887
  • (After the call ended: Martial: Further discussions for this ONAP PoC could happen at this call? Will be a few weeks before this proposal is presented to ONAP Arch. & Req committees etc, then ONAP TSC?)
