Samsung vDU Discovery and Monitoring

This topic provides steps to configure the Samsung vDU and other vRAN and 5G core credentials for discovering and monitoring underlying infrastructure of the Samsung vDU.

Prerequisites

• VMware Aria Operations must be installed and Kubernetes Management Pack must be deployed.
• Kubernetes Management Pack must be configured to manage the infrastructure.
• Modify the /etc/hosts file where the Domain Manager Servers are running to update the IP address to Kafka Service mapping:
  • For TKG deployment: <Virtual IP address of the VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid workload cluster> kafka-edge.
  • For AKS and AWS deployment: <Kafka Edge IP> kafka-edge.
  • For VM Based On-Prem Demo deployment,: <Kafka Edge IP> kafka-edge.
  Note: For identifying the Kafka IP address, see Identify Data Collection Framework and Kafka IP Address and Port Numbers.

To discover the Samsung vDU Topology and underlying infrastructure in the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance, you must configure the following credentials:

• Configure Domain Settings
• Configure vCenter Credentials
• Configure VMware Aria Operations Credentials
• Configure VMware Telco Cloud Automation Credentials
• Physical Layer Discovery

To view the Samsung vDU Topology, Notifications, and RCA, see the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance Use Case in the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance User Guide.
