The Server Manager builds a topology of the deployed vIMS components. The topology objects represent the vIMS deployed VNFs, their relationships, and their association with tenants and virtual infrastructure.

CallSessionControlFunction

The Call Session Control Function (CSCF) in IMS comprises three distinct roles: the Proxy CSCF (P-CSCF), the Interrogating CSCF (I-CSCF), and the Serving CSCF (S-CSCF). The CSCF is implemented through servers using the SIP protocol to communicate with each other and application servers.

CallSessionControlFunction has the following relationships:

  • AvailedBy with Tenant
  • PartOf with CallSessionControlFunctionsGroup
  • vHostedBy with VirtualMachine

For more information on getting the topology data, see the VSA Configuration in the VMware Telco Cloud Operations Configuration Guide.
