VNF validation tests
|
The VNF validation tests can only be run from the Commissioning VM, when performing an automatic deployment. |
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 initial configuration.
Running the VNF validation tests
After deploying the VMs and performing the initial configuration, you can run the VNF validation tests from the Commissioning VM.
First, generate an 'Ansible hosts' file from the SDF:
csar ansible-hosts --sdf <path to SDF>
Then, run the validation tests using the Ansible hosts file just generated:
csar validate --vnf shcm hosts_ansible.yaml
If any of the tests fail, refer to the troubleshooting section.
