Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a VNF processing policy determining method, an apparatus, and a system, and relate to the field of communications technologies, to avoid a problem that an NS constituted by a VNF cannot normally run when an EM fails to configure an application parameter for the VNF. The method includes: receiving, by a management node, a configuration feedback message sent by an EM, and determining a processing policy for a VNF according to the configuration feedback message, where the configuration feedback message is used to indicate whether an application parameter of the VNF is successfully configured, and the processing policy is used by the management node to process the VNF. The method is applied to an NFV technology.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a network manager (NM), a virtualized network function (VNF) instantiation complete message, wherein the VNF instantiation complete message indicates that instantiation of a VNF is completed;
- receiving, by the NM, a configuration feedback message sent by an element manager (EM), wherein the configuration feedback message is sent by the EM in response to the EM performing configuration of an application parameter of the VNF, and the configuration feedback message indicates whether the application parameter of the VNF is successfully configured by the EM;
- and
- after receiving the VNF instantiation complete message and the configuration feedback message, determining, by the NM, a processing policy for the VNF according to the configuration feedback message, wherein the processing policy is used by the NM to process the VNF.
An apparatus, used for a network manager (NM), comprising:
- a receiver, configured to:
- receive a virtualized network function (VNF) instantiation complete message, wherein the VNF instantiation complete message indicates that instantiation of a VNF is completed;
- and
- receive a configuration feedback message sent by an element manager (EM) wherein the configuration feedback message is sent by the EM in response to the EM performing configuration of an application parameter of the VNF, and the configuration feedback message indicates whether the application parameter of a the VNF is successfully configured by the EM;
- and
- a processor, configured to:
- after the VNF instantiation complete message and the configuration feedback message are received, determine a processing policy for the VNF according to the configuration feedback message received by the receiver, wherein the processing policy is used by the processor to process the VNF.
A non-transitory processor-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for a network manager (NM), the processor-executable instructions, when executed by a processor, facilitating performance of the following:
- receiving a virtualized network function (VNF) instantiation complete message, wherein the VNF instantiation complete message indicates that instantiation of a VNF is completed;
- receiving a configuration feedback message sent by an element manager (EM), wherein the configuration feedback message is sent by the EM in response to the EM performing configuration of an application parameter of the VNF, and the configuration feedback message indicates whether the application parameter of the VNF is successfully configured;
- and
- after the VNF instantiation complete message and the configuration feedback message are received, determining a processing policy for the VNF according to the configuration feedback message, wherein the processing policy is used by the processor to process the VNF.
