VNF validation tests
What are VNF validation tests?
The VNF validation tests can be used to run some basic checks on deployed VMs to ensure they have been deployed correctly. Tests include:
-
checking that the management IP can be reached
-
checking that the management gateway can be reached
-
checking that
sudoworks on the VM -
checking that the VM has converged to its configuration.
Running the VNF validation tests
After deploying the VMs for a given VM type, and performing the configuration for those VMs, you can run the VNF validation tests for those VMs from the SIMPL VM.
Run the validation tests:
csar validate --vnf rem --sdf <path to SDF>
If any of the tests fail, refer to the troubleshooting section.

An MDM CSAR must be unpacked on the SIMPL VM before running the csar validate command.
Run csar list on the SIMPL VM to verify whether an MDM CSAR is already installed.

REM checks
Verify REM is running
Log in to the VM with the default credentials.
Run systemctl status rhino-element-manager to view the status of the REM service.
It should be listed as active (running).
You can also check the jps command to ensure that the Tomcat process has started. It is
listed in the output as Bootstrap.
Verify you can connect to REM
From a PC which is on or can reach the same subnet as the REM node’s management interface,
connect to https://<management IP address>:8443/rem/ with a web browser. You should be presented
with a login page. From here you can use the credentials set up in the
rem-vmpool-config.yaml file to log in.
