InlineVnf_instancesVnfInstanceIdChange_flavourRequestBody
This type represents request parameters for the "Change VNF flavour" operation.
- NOTE 1: The indication of externally-managed internal VLs is needed in case networks have been pre-configured for use with certain VNFs, for instance to ensure that these networks have certain properties such as security or acceleration features, or to address particular network topologies. The present document assumes that externally-managed internal VLs are managed by the NFVO and created towards the VIM.
- NOTE 2: It is possible to have several ExtManagedVirtualLinkData for the same VNF internal VL in case of a multi-site VNF spanning several VIMs. The set of ExtManagedVirtualLinkData corresponding to the same VNF internal VL shall indicate so by referencing to the same VnfVirtualLinkDesc and externally-managed multi-site VL instance (refer to clause 4.4.1.12).
- NOTE 3: The target size for VNF instantiation may be specified in either instantiationLevelId or targetScaleLevelInfo, but not both. If none of the two attributes (instantiationLevelId or targetScaleLevelInfo) are present, the default instantiation level as declared in the VNFD shall be used.
- NOTE 4: If targetScaleLevelInfo is specified, information provided in targetScaleLevelInfo shall be used for instantiating scalable constituents of the VNF (e.g, VDUs/VLs). For scaling aspects not specified in targetScaleLevelInfo or for the VNF constituents (e.g.,VDUs/VLs) that are not scalable, the default instantiation level as declared in the VNFD shall be used for instantiation.

}Identifier of the VNF deployment flavour to be instantiated.
Identifier of the instantiation level of the deployment flavour to be instantiated. See note 3.
This attribute is applicable if VNF supports target scale level instantiation. For each scaling aspect of the current deployment flavour, the attribute specifies the scale level of VNF constituents (e.g., VDU level) to be instantiated. See notes 3 and 4.
Information about external VLs to connect the VNF to, including configuration information for the CPs via which the VNF instance can attach to this VL. Entries in the list of external VLs that are unchanged need not be supplied as part of this request. The following applies to the "ExtVirtualLinkData" information provided in this request, together with the related "ExtVirtualLinkInfo" information known to the VNFM represented in the "VnfInstance" structure (see clause 5.5.2.2) and the related overriding information provided in the "Grant" structure (see clause 9.5.2.3): Even if the VNF is not in fully scaled-out state after changing the flavour, the API consumer shall provide enough CP configuration records to allow connecting the VNF instance, fully scaled out in all scaling aspects, to the external VLs.
Information about internal VLs that are managed by the NFVO. See notes 1 and 2.
Information about VIM or CISM connections to be used for managing the resources for the VNF instance, or refer to external/externally-managed virtual links. This attribute shall only be supported and may be present if - the resources for at least one of the VNFCs shall be managed by a VIM and VNF-related resource management in direct mode is applicable. - the resources for at least one of the VNFCs shall be managed by a CISM. The VNFM shall apply the content of this attribute to the "vimConnectionInfo" attribute of "VnfInstance" according to the rules of JSON Merge Patch (see IETF RFC 7396 [5]).
Additional input parameters for the instantiation process, specific to the VNF being instantiated, as declared in the VNFD as part of "InstantiateVnfOpConfig" defined in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 011 [10].
If present, this attribute provides modifications to the values of the "extensions" attribute in "VnfInstance", as defined in clause 5.5.2.2. Provisions for handling extensions during the operation, are defined in clause 5.4.7.3.1.
If present, this attribute provides modifications to the values of the "vnfConfigurableProperties" attribute in "VnfInstance", as defined in clause 5.5.2.2. Provisions for handling VNF configurable properties during the operation, are defined in clause 5.4.7.3.1.
