-This section about VIM High availability
-
-============================
-5 VIM High availability
-============================
-The VIM in the NFV reference architecture contains all the control nodes of OpenStack, SDN controllers
-and hardware controllers. It manages the NFVI according to the instructions/requests of the VNFM and
-NFVO and reports them back about the NFVI status. To guarantee the high availability of the VIM is
-a basic requirement of the OPNFV platform. Also the VIM should provide some mechanism for VNFs to achieve
-their own high availability.
-
-5.1 Architecture requirement of VIM HA
----------------------------------------
-The architecture of the control nodes should avoid any single point of failure and the management
-network plane which connects the control nodes should also be redundant. Services of the control nodes
-which are stateless like nova-API, glance-API etc. should be redundant but without data synchronization.
-Stateful services like MySQL, Rabbit MQ, SDN controller should provide complex redundancy policies.
-Cloud of different scale may also require different HA policies.
-
-Requirement:
-------------
-- In small scale scenario active-standby redundancy policy would be acceptable.
-
-- In large scale scenario all stateful services like database, message queue, SDN controller
- should be deployed in cluster mode which support N-way, N+M active-standby redundancy.
-
-- In large scale scenario all stateless services like nova-api, glance-api etc. should be deployed
- in all active mode.
-
-- Load balance nodes which introduced for all active and N+M mode should also avoid the single point
- of failure.
-
-- All control node servers shall have at least two network ports to connect to different networks
- plane. These ports shall work in bonding manner.
-
-- Any failures of services in the redundant pairs should be detected and switch over should be carried out
- automatically in less than 5 seconds totally.
-
-- Status of services must be monitored.
-
-
-5.2 Fault detection and alarm requirement of VIM
---------------------------------------------------
-Redundant architecture can provide function continuity for the VIM. For maintenance considerations
-all failures in the VIM should be detected and notifications should be triggered to NFVO, VNFM and other
-VIM consumers.
-
-Requirement:
-------------
-- All hardware failures of control nodes should be detected and relevant alarms should be triggered.
- OSS, NFVO, VNFM and other VIM consumers can subscribe these alarms.
-
-- Software on control nodes like OpenStack or ODL should be monitored by the clustering software
- at process level and alarms should be triggered when exceptions are detected.
-
-- Software on compute nodes like OpenStack/nova agents, ovs should be monitored by watchdog. When
- exceptions are detected the software should be restored automatically and alarms should be triggered.
-
-- Software on storage nodes like Ceph, should be monitored by watchdog. When
- exceptions are detected the software should be restored automatically and alarms should be triggered.
-
-- All alarm indicators should include: Failure time, Failure location, Failure type, Failure level.
-
-- The VIM should provide an interface through which consumers can subscribe to alarms and notifications.
-
-- All alarms and notifications should be kept for future inquiry in VIM, ageing policy of these records
- should be configurable.
-
-- VIM should distinguish between the failure of the compute node and the failure of the host HW.
-
-- VIM should be able to publish the health status of the compute node to NFV MANO.
-
-5.3 HA mechanism of VIM provided for VNFs
-------------------------------------------
-When VNFs deploy their HA scheme, they usually require from underlying resource to provide some mechanism.
-This is similar to the hardware watchdog in the traditional network devices. Also virtualization
-introduces some other requirements like affinity and anti-affinity with respect to the allocation of the
-different virtual resources.
-
-Requirement
-------------
-- VIM should provide the ability to configure HA functions like watchdog timers,
- redundant network ports and etc. These HA functions should be properly tagged and exposed to
- VNF and VNFM with standard APIs.
-
-- VIM should provide anti-affinity scheme for VNF to deploy redundant service on different level of
- aggregation of resource.
-
-- VIM should be able to deploy classified virtual resources to VNFs following the SAL description in VNFD.
-
-- VIM should provide data collection to calculate the HA related metrics for VNFs.
-
-- VIM should support the VNF/VNFM to initiate the operation of resources of the NFVI, such as repair/reboot.
-
-- VIM should correlate the failures detected on collocated virtual resources to identify latent faults in
- HW and virtualization facilities
-
-- VIM should be able to disallow the live migration of VMs and when it is allowed it should be possible
- to specify the tolerated interruption time.
-
-- VIM should be able to restrict the simultaneous migration of VMs hosting a given VNF.
-
-- VIM should provide the APIs to trigger scale in/out to VNFM/VNF.
-
-- When scheduler of the VIM use the Active/active HA scheme, multiple scheduler instances must not create
- a race condition
-
-- VIM should be able to trigger the evacuation of the VMs before bringing the host down
- when *maintenance mode* is set for the compute host.
-
-- VIM should configure Consoleauth in active/active HA mode, and should store the token in database.
-
-- VIM should replace a failed VM with a new VM and this new VM should start in the same initial state
- as the failed VM.
-
-- VIM should support policies to prioritize a certain VNF.
-
-5.4 SDN controller
--------------------
-SDN controller: Distributed or Centralized
-
-Requriements
--------------
-- In centralized model SDN controller must be deployed as redundant pairs.
-
-- In distributed model, mastership election must determine which node is in overall control.
-
-- For distributed model, VNF should not be aware of HA of controller. That is it is a - logically centralized
- system for NBI(Northbound Interface).
-
-- Event notification is required as section 5.2 mentioned.
-
