Problem to setup a vnffgd

Hi,
I tried the example on my setup and it seems to work OK. Do you have the word 'requirements' in your VNFFG? That seems to be what the error is complaining about.

[root@overcloud-controller-0 neutron]# cat tosca-vnffgd-sample.yaml
tosca_definitions_version: tosca_simple_profile_for_nfv_1_0_0

[root@overcloud-controller-0 neutron]#

My version of tosca-parser shows:
[root@overcloud-controller-0 neutron]# pip freeze | grep tosca-parser
tosca-parser==0.6.0

There is no wrong in the template. It is working. please check the template once

Thank you all for your replies!

I've updated my devstack (and tacker) to stable/newton and now i'm able to create a VNFFG descriptor. Great. :-)

But i'm still having problems with vnffg-create. Again, i'm using the TOSCA templates described in the github of tacker and once i create the two VNFs (called "VNF1" and "VNF2"), i'm trying this command to create my VNFFG:

tacker vnffg-create --vnffgd-name vnffgd_example --vnf-mapping VNF1:'411ef773-3d55-4341-9a67-326c81f706c6', VNF2:'5ab9abef-2384-4b3b-b3bb-c24487ec774d'

and i get the error message:

"need more than 1 value to unpack"

I think that i probably didn't provide an argument on the command line... but is the same command described in VNFFG template guide.

* My tosca-parser is 0.6.0 too.

Hi,

In your cli to create vnffg you didn't mention the name for vnffg.

Hi,

I have the same problem but I put the name for vnffg . I used the doc (https://docs.openstack.org/developer/tacker/devref/vnffg_usage_guide.html) and used the command:

 tacker vnffg-create --vnffgd-name myvnffgd --vnf-mapping VNFD1:VNF1,VNFD2:VNF2 myvnffg

ERROR is:

Request Failed: internal server error while processing your request.

I have the OVS 2.5.0 installed. I am running on Ubuntu 14.04.
Could you help me?

I already resolved. Missed change the network_src_port_id.
Thanks.

Hi, I know this thread is quite old now but it comes with using a non-standard TOSCA property 'path' instead of 'requirements'. Is there any reason why we use path instead of requirements?
Thanks

We had to use path because there was some limitaitons with using requirements as we inherited the type from tosca parser:

https://github.com/openstack/tacker/blob/master/tacker/tosca/lib/tacker_nfv_defs.yaml#L312

So to work around this we created our own type:
https://github.com/openstack/tacker/blob/master/tacker/tosca/lib/tacker_nfv_defs.yaml#L2
