Containers and pods not showing under Inventory -> Telco Cloud Platform -> TCA Network Function -> topology

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

For the network functions deployed via VMware Telco Cloud Automation, the containers and pods of Network Functions deployed within Tenants are not reported in the GUI, under Inventory -> Telco Cloud Platform -> TCA Network Function -> topology.
This is happening with the Telco Cloud Platform Management Pack in Aria Operations.

Environment

Aria Operations 8.18.x
TCP Management Pack 1.1.1
Telco Cloud Automation 3.4
Telco Cloud Platform 5.1

Cause

The underlying issue is due to incomplete relationship publishing on the tenant-direct path. This issue would occur if the corresponding TCA-CP is not shared with the Tenant.

Resolution

Workaround: 

Share the TCA-CP VIM with the affected Tenant, this will solve the issue on that tenant.

Fix:

This issue will be fixed in the next version of the TCP management pack. This KB will be updated accordingly.
