VNFCs need to be inventoried and related to a vServer if one wants to run OpenStack actions against that vServer (VM) from APPC.

This is the AAI call to inventory VNFCs:

https://aai_ip:aai_port/aai/v14/network/vnfcs/vnfc/{vnfc-name}

{ "vnfc-name": "vnfc-name", "nfc-naming-code": "xxx", "nfc-function": "yyy", "in-maint": "false", "is-closed-loop-disabled": "false"}

Additional fields that can be added (non mandatory for AAI):

group-notation

ipaddress-v4-oam-vip
