The AIC auto integration platform consists of planning & design iDevise, installation deployment iDeploy and auto test iTest;
With the configuration wizard, it is only required to input a few planning parameters of each layer, and thus the operations are easy and simple, the planning & design is more standard, correct, high efficient and easy to use.
The deployment tool realizes zero intervention & auto deployment, and displays the deployment progress and log information in real time.
The AIC tool kit provides the E2E design, deployment and test services for solving tedious and repetitive operations.
The AIC tool kit performs legality checking during design and deployment to avoid rework caused by human errors.
The deployment tool checks the environment before deployment and verifies the correctness after deployment to guarantee correctness and reliability of the deployment.
The test tool provides the auto network test capability based on the cloud test service of ZTE Openlab to improve test efficiency.
Visualized tool execution procedure: Display the execution progress in real time;
Visualized tool execution result: You can query the deployment report and deployment duration immediately;
Visualized execution error prompt: You can query anomaly and log information.
Open architecture: It provides an extendable interface framework, and implements the auto design and deployment of third-party devices with plug-ins.
Open interface: It provides northbound interfaces and can perform integration with third-party tool links.
Major Function
Design tool iDevise
The devise tool provides GUI, so you just need to input the configuration parameters and deploy resources of hardware layer, virtual layer, MANO and service layer.. The iDevise generates LLD files of each layer preparing for the network deployment. The devise tool includes:
Includes network devise (IP address, VLAN and etc.), server devise, storage devise, available zone devise, and virtual layer version management.
Includes MANO network devise (IP address, VLAN and etc.), tenant devise, VM standard devise, and MANO version management.
Includes service NE network devise (IP address, VLAN and etc.), VNF ID devise, tenant devise, VM standard devise and VNF version management.
Deployment tool iDeploy
Import LLD file: The tool completes the deployment of virtual layer, MANO layer and service layer, as well as basic configuration automatically based on the parameters of the LLD file. The First Call of the service can be successful, and the deployment tool completes:
Includes checking the hardware environment, uploading versions, starting VMs, PXE services, loading versions, host discovery, installing versions, and creating host aggregations.
Includes checking environment, uploading versions, creating tenants, deploying NFVO VMs, installing NFVO OMM, configuring NFVO, deploying VNFM VMs, installing VNFM OMM, and configuring VNFM.
Includes checking the environment, creating tenants, creating cloud disk types, creating a network, uploading version packages, importing basic packages, creating version packages quickly, instantiation, and basic site configuration.
Test tool iTest
The test tool provides a test case library based on the ZTE Openlab environment. The users can download test case packages from the cloud on demand and execute them in the test environment/sites, iTest outputs the test reports and completes function/performance test of virtual layer and service layer, the test tool platform is to accelerate and promote auto NFV network test capability, and the test tool completes:
The cloud test center maintains and manages the test cases uniformly, and the test tool can download and import test cases remotely;
Includes test task management, test task execution, test report and test logs;
Includes the function and performance test of virtual layer;
Includes the function and performance test of service NEs;
