#811 AMF: To create a object for class SaAmfNode the saAmfNodeClmNode attribute is not essential as per imm.xml

[manu]

while creating a object for class "SaAmfNode" the attribute saAmfNodeClmNode is mandatory. But in imm.xml, this attribute is not having SA_INITIALIZED.

Trying to create object for class SaAmfNode without giving the saAmfNodeClmNode attribute it throws an error.

immcfg -c SaAmfNode safAmfNode="abcd,safAmfCluster=myAmfCluster" -a saAmfNodeSuFailOverProb=1000000000 -a saAmfNodeSuFailoverMax=10

error - saImmOmCcbApply FAILED: SA_AIS_ERR_FAILED_OPERATION (21)
OI reports: saAmfNodeClmNode not configured for 'safAmfNode=abcd,safAmfCluster=myAmfCluster'

[Anders Bjornerstedt]

If an imm class belonging to the AMF model needs to be changed/upgraded,
then that is an AMF enhancement.

[Anders Bjornerstedt]

Unfortunately adding the INITIALIZED flag to an attribute definition
is not a schema change that is allowed by the IMM, because it is not
a backwards compatible change.

So this problem can only really be solved by the AMF OI.

[Hans Feldt]

Please describe a valid use case for this.

[Nagendra Kumar]

It is because as per Amf PR Doc, modification of saAmfNodeClmNode is not supported.
Since modification is not supported, Amf can't allow to support it to be empty as Amf node needs this attributes for its functioning.

[Mathi Naickan]

(The intention of this ticket is not quite clear.)
There is no OpenSAF usemodel for "creating SaAmfNode without giving the saAmfNodeClmNode".

[Nagendra Kumar]

We can document it explicitely in Amf PR. Agree ?

[Nagendra Kumar]

I will document it explicitly.

[Nagendra Kumar]

The following portion will be added in section "2.2.2 Compliance Report":

Section 8.7 :
Since modification of saAmfNodeClmNode is not supported, Amf can't allow to configure it to be empty as Amf node needs this attributes for its functioning.

[Nagendra Kumar]

I would commit the changes in the Amf PR doc if there is no review feedback today.

Thanks
