Hi Sridhar,

The resource list is extracted from the hot template by the heat client. For a normal vnfs after translating to hot template the resources are not changed and so we are getting as VDU1, VDU2, CP ....
But In case of scaleVNF the resources are changing from VDU..... to G1, .... So while returning the resources list by heat client we are getting as G1, SP1_scale_in...........

Here is the snapshots of hot templates of normal VNF and scale VNF.

Thanks for the analysis. Any possible solution to get around this issue ?

One way is to parse the output of heat resource list and if we see intermediate resources like G1, SP1_scale_in, some new logic can do further heat calls on these resources to get to the actual VDU, CP resources.

Hi venkatamahesh,

Sorry for bothering. This bug is a very nice catch. I saw that it is a significant stuff for next features, especially scaling for SFC. I fixed this bug and added you as co-author.

    Fix: nested resources are ignored

    The current "resource-list" method in Tacker just mentioned to
    the first-layered resources. Meanwhile scaling feature used the
    nested template which contains VNF discription. Therefore, the nested
    resources are ignored in the scaling case. This spec will fix this issue.
