Network function virtualization NFV fault management apparatus, device, and method

A network function virtualization (NFV) fault management method, comprising:

• receiving a fault subscription message from a subscription node in an NFV system, wherein the fault subscription message comprises fault information to which a subscription is requested by the subscription node;
• receiving a fault publish message from a fault publish node in the NFV system;
• generating a fault notification message according to the fault subscription message and the fault publish message;
• and
• notifying the fault notification message to the subscription node,
• wherein the fault information to which the subscription is requested comprises at least one of:
• a grouping identifier of the fault publish node, a node identifier of the fault publish node, a fault type, fault content, and a fault priority, and
• wherein notifying the fault notification message comprises:
• when at least one of fault types and fault content to which a subscription is requested by at least two subscription nodes is the same, simultaneously notifying the fault notification message to the at least two subscription nodes.

A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising:

• a computer program code comprising one or more executable instructions, which, when executed by a network function virtualization (NFV) fault management device, cause the NFV fault management device to perform a method comprising:
• receiving a fault subscription message from a subscription node in an NFV system, wherein the fault subscription message comprises fault information to which a subscription is requested by the subscription node;
• receiving a fault publish message from a fault publish node in the NFV system;
• generating a fault notification message according to the fault subscription message and the fault publish message;
• and
• notifying the fault notification message to the subscription node,
• wherein the fault information to which the subscription is requested comprises at least one of:
• a grouping identifier of the fault publish node, a node identifier of the fault publish node, a fault type, fault content, and a fault priority, and
• wherein notifying the fault notification message comprises:
• when at least one of fault types and fault content to which a subscription is requested by at least two subscription nodes is the same, simultaneously notifying the fault notification message to the at least two subscription nodes.
