Welcome to O-RAN SC smo/ves Documentation

smo/ves Overview

This project supports the O1/VES interface in SMO. It consists of several components

A VES collector that is a collector of events posted by different Network Functions (NF) of the RAN
Kafka Bus which acts as the message bus in SMO
A connector to connect the Kafka Bus to InfluxdB to persist all the data posted on the Kafka Bus
A connector that provides an adapter for applications that want to read the Kafka events as DMaaP events.
Grafana dashbaord which pull records from InfluxDB and display movements of matrix.

Introduction 

This document describes the supported software and hardware configurations for the reference component as well as providing guidelines on how to install and configure such reference system.

The audience of this document is assumed to have good knowledge in RAN network, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop Edition system and Docker Compose.

Preface 

Before starting the installation of smo-ves, make sure docker-compose, git are installed on the system

Hardware Requirements 

Following minimum hardware requirements must be met for installation of smo-ves:

HW Aspect	Requirement
# of servers	1
CPU	4 core
RAM	8 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended
Disk	100 GB minimum, 500 GB recommended
NICs	1

Software Installation and Deployment 

This section describes the installation of the smo-ves installation on the reference hardware.

Build 

To build the solution, you need to do the following in the current folder:

% docker-compose build

Run 

To run the solution, you need to invoke the following command:

% docker-compose up -d

To stop the solution the following command should be invoked:

% docker-compose down

Following steps are required to install a certificate.

Self-Signed Certificates 

Following steps are required for self-signed certificate. 1. Create ves-certificate directory on the host system using command “mkdir ~/ves-certificate”. 2. Go to ves-certificate directory and use below commands to create self-signed certificate files:

openssl genrsa -out vescertificate.key 2048
openssl req -new -key vescertificate.key -out vescertificate.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in vescertificate.csr -signkey vescertificate.key -out vescertificate.crt

Third Party Certificates 

Third party certificates can be installed by overwriting the file vescertificate.csr, vescertificate.key, and vescertficate.crt in ~/ves-certificate directory of the host system.

Following steps are required to add an entry in the host file 

Add following entry in host file on the computer from which user want to access Grafana dashboard. <IP Address of VM/Machine on which docker containers are running> smo-influxdb

For Example- Docker container running on the guest VM or different/remote machine having IP Address 192.168.56.110 then host file entry is as follows:

192.168.56.110 smo-influxdb

User Guide

This is the user guide for OSC smo/ves
