Max timeout for CNF upgrade

Products

• VMware Telco Cloud Automation

Issue/Introduction

CNF upgrade timing out as the upgrade job takes more than an hour to complete

Environment

2.3

3.0

Cause

There are different timeouts at the user interface, app level, and upstream Helm. For example, the CNF Instantiate operation has a max timeout value of 120 minutes. There is no max timeout value for the CNF upgrade operation in the user interface.

Resolution

1. Authenticate using the sessions API
   
   

   ​​curl -v --location --request POST 'https://<tca-cp-ip>/hybridity/api/sessions' \
   --header 'Accept: application/json' \
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --data-raw '{
       "username": "<username-for-vcenter-for-tca-cp>",
       "password": "<password>"
   }'

   
   
   
2. Set the helm upgrade timeout via API on TCA-CP to "value": "180" minutes and trigger the CNF upgrade from the TCA UI with a UI timeout of 180 minutes.
   
   

   curl --location --request PUT 'https://<tca-cp-ip>/admin/hybridity/api/global/settings/CnfTimeout/HelmUpgrade' \
   --header 'x-hm-authorization: <copy-from-sessions-API-response-headers>' \
   --header 'Accept: application/json' \
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --data-raw '{
       "value": "180"
   }'

   
   Note: The above value is in minutes.

Additional Information

It is no longer necessary to trigger the CNF upgrade using an API, as the UI allows us to set the timeout value to 180 minutes. 

Here is an example of CNF upgrade API (the payload will be particular to the use case, CSAR, Vim Tenant, and Habors used)

curl --request POST \
  --url https://<TCA-M-IP>/tca/etsi/orgs/default/direct/internal/vnflcm/v1/cnf_instances/<cnf-instance-id>/upgrade \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'x-hm-authorization: ad658a7c:94b1:4a33:a531:299fc3bef19b' \
