Upload a Customized Service Design

You use a service design to add and provision a service in the network. Routing Director allows you to upload customized service designs and use them to provision corresponding services in the network.

Note:

Uploading a customized service design is a beta feature in this release.

To create and customize a service design, you must contact Juniper Networks Professional Services. The Juniper Networks Professional Services team provides you with a customized service design file in the .tgz format. Additionally, they will also provide you with common.tgz and network-resource.tgz files with corresponding configurations that map with the customized service design.

To upload the customized service design to the GUI (Orchestration > Service > Service Catalog), perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the Paragon Shell CLI as the root user.

2. Type exit to exit Paragon Shell to the Linux root shell.

3. Start a cMGD pod using the following command:

4. Launch the service orchestration cMGD CLI bash shell using the following command:

   You are now logged in to the service orchestration cMGD CLI bash shell.

5. Copy the customized service design .tgz, common.tgz, and network-resource.tgz files to the service orchestration cMGD CLI. For instance in this example, we have copied the customized service design CSD.tgz, common.tgz and network-resource.tgz files to the /data-models/projects folder. Here, CSD.tgz is the customized service design file and common.tgz and network-resource.tgz are the dependency files.

6. Type cli and press Enter to launch the CLI mode.

7. View organizations available in Routing Director to add the customized service design.

   Where:

   Org-Name is the name of the organization created in Routing Director.

   Org-ID is the unique auto-generated alphanumeric ID assigned to the organization.

8. Enter the configuration mode.

9. Configure the organization ID to set the context of all tasks required to add the customized service design.

   Where:

   cd71dd08-72bb-4697-b516-655de87f69c6 is the unique Org-ID.

10. Commit the changes and exit the configuration mode.

11. Add projects to the service catalog for all organizations. Projects contain a service design and its dependency files required to provision a service.

    • Add common files to the service catalog. Common files are reusable components required by multiple service designs.

      Where common.tgz file contains common files that includes standard YANG models, Jinja templates, third-party schemas, shared JQS, party files, standard ITEF templates, YANG models, and so on.

    • Add network resource configuration files to the service catalog. The network resource file contains network resource service designs that acts as producers of shared resources and are consumed by service designs.

      Where network-resource.tgz file contains definitions of network elements such as IP address pools, VLAN IDs, VPN route distinguishers, and so on.

    • Add your customized service design CSD.tgz, common.tgz, and network-resource.tgz to the service catalog.

12. Verify the projects that you added to the service catalog using the following command:

    Where:
    Project Name displays the names of projects that you added to the service catalog.

    Project ID displays the unique ID assigned to different projects available in the service catalog.

13. (Optional) Log in to the Routing Director GUI and navigate to the Service Designs page (Orchestration > Service Catalog). The newly added service design version 0.0.1 must be listed in the Pending Version column.

14. Install all the files that you added to the service catalog using the following command:

15. This command takes sometime to complete.

    A warning message confirms a successful update. Restart the CLI to complete installation of the new version. Confirm Yes, when prompted.

16. Now the customized service design is installed and must be available in the GUI. Log in again to the Routing Director GUI and the newly installed service design version 0.0.1 must be listed as Default under the Version column on the Service Designs page (Orchestration > Service Catalog). For more information, see About the Service Designs Page.

    You can create and provision a service based on the service design that you added. The Add drop-down on the Service Instances page (Orchestration > Service Instances) displays the name of the service design that you installed. Select the service design to create a corresponding service instance. For more information, see About the Service Instances Page.
