7.3.1 VNF State Diagram

Following are the few high level scenarios based on state diagram:

• The VNF created on 5.4.x can be upgraded to 6.1.0 and all LCMs such as VnfInstantiate, VnfModify, VnfOperate, VnfHeal, VnfScale, VnfTerminate and VnfDelete can be performed
• The VNF created and Instantiated on 5.4.x can be upgraded to 6.1.0 and all LCMs such as VnfModify, VnfOperate, VnfHeal, VnfScale, VnfTerminate and VnfDelete can be performed.
• The VNF created and Instantiated and scaled on 5.4.x can be upgraded to 6.1.0 and all LCMs such as VnfModify, VnfOperate, VnfHeal, VnfScale, VnfTerminate and VnfDelete can be performed.
