Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What type of database is the NFVO using?

The NFVO uses Hibernate for managing transactions with a relational database. By default the NFVO is configured with an in memory database (HSQL). Other types of databases are supported, for instance MySQL. This can be changed directly from the configuration file, outcommenting the :

# mysql jdbc
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/openbaton
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect

Q2: The EMS does not register to the VNFM and the connection timeouts

Double check that you configured correctly the openbaton.properties with the correct IP of the host where the NFVO is running

# The broker ip that needs to be reachable from all the components
nfvo.rabbit.brokerIp = the broker ip here
