"description":"Provides information regarding VIM and/or CISM connections that are approved to be used by the VNFM to allocate resources and provides parameters of these VIM and/or CISM connections. The VNFM shall update the \"vimConnectionInfo\" attribute of the \"VnfInstance\" structure by adding unknown entries received in this attribute. This attribute is not intended for the modification of VimConnectionInfo entries passed earlier; for that, the VnfInfoModificationRequest structure shall be used. This attribute shall only be supported when\n - all or part of the granted\n resources are managed by\n a VIM and VNF-related\n Resource Management in\n direct mode is applicable.\n - all or part of the granted\n resources are managed by\n a CISM.\nIn direct mode, this parameter shall be absent if the VIM or CISM information was configured to the VNFM in another way, present otherwise.
