US 2018/0026832 A1 · NETWORK FUNCTIONS VIRTUALIZATION BASED FAULT PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS

Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention provides a NFV based fault processing method. The method includes: determining a NFVI fault; obtaining self-healing policy information used to indicate whether to perform a self-healing operation on the NFVI fault; and performing the self-healing operation on the NFVI fault when the self-healing policy information indicates that the self-healing operation is to be performed on the NFVI fault. Therefore, time for reporting and making a fault analysis for the infrastructure fault can be saved, the infrastructure fault is rectified as quickly as possible, a fault processing delay is reduced, and system performance can be improved.

Dependent claims

An apparatus, comprising:

a processor, configured to determine a network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) fault;
and
a receiver, configured to obtain self-healing policy information used to indicate whether to perform a self-healing operation on the NFVI fault;
wherein the processor is configured to perform the self-healing operation on the NFVI fault when the self-healing policy information indicates that the self-healing operation is to be performed on the NFVI fault.
