Abstract
A virtual network function management apparatus includes: a virtual machine monitoring unit that detects a fault(s) in a virtual machine(s) operating on a virtualized infrastructure management unit that manages a virtualized infrastructure; and a control unit that instructs the virtualized infrastructure management unit to recreate a virtual machine(s) in which a fault(s) has occurred after an image file(s) of the virtual machine(s) in which the fault(s) has occurred is logically updated so that the image file(s) of the virtual machine(s) in which the fault(s) has occurred can be backed up.
Claims14
A virtual network function management apparatus, comprising:
- a virtual machine monitoring unit that detects a fault(s) in a virtual machine(s) operating on a virtualized infrastructure management unit that manages a virtualized infrastructure;
- and
- a control unit that instructs the virtualized infrastructure management unit to recreate a virtual machine(s) in which a fault(s) has occurred after an image file(s) of the virtual machine(s) in which the fault(s) has occurred is logically updated so that the image file(s) of the virtual machine(s) in which the fault(s) has occurred can be backed up.
A healing method, comprising:
- detecting a fault(s) in a virtual machine(s) operating on a virtualized infrastructure management unit that manages a virtualized infrastructure;
- and
- instructing, when a fault(s) has been detected in a virtual machine(s), the virtualized infrastructure management unit to recreate the virtual machine(s) in which the fault(s) has occurred after an image file(s) of the virtual machine(s) in which the fault(s) has occurred is logically updated so that the image file(s) of the virtual machine(s) in which the fault(s) has occurred can be backed up.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing thereon a program, causing a computer that functions as a virtual network function management apparatus to perform processing for:
- detecting a fault(s) in a virtual machine(s) operating on a virtualized infrastructure management unit that manages a virtualized infrastructure;
- and
- instructing, when a fault(s) has been detected in a virtual machine(s), the virtualized infrastructure management unit to recreate the virtual machine(s) in which the fault(s) has occurred after an image file(s) of the virtual machine(s) in which the fault(s) has occurred is logically updated so that the image file(s) of the virtual machine(s) in which the fault(s) has occurred can be backed up.
