Abstract
A method includes: receiving, by an NFVO device, a first loading request message from an NM unit, where the first loading request message includes image files of some virtualized network function modules in a VNF unit, and the first loading request message is used for requesting the NFVO device to load the image files; and loading, by the NFVO device, the image files.

-20. (canceled)
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO) device, a first loading request message from a network manager (NM) device, wherein the first loading request message comprises image files of a first plurality of virtualized network function modules in a virtualized network function (VNF) device, and the first loading request message requests the NFVO device to load the image files of the first plurality of virtualized network function modules;
- and
- loading, by the NFVO device, the image files of the first plurality of virtualized network function modules without loading an image file of a second virtualized network module in the VNF device, wherein the image file of the second virtualized network module is not comprised in the first loading request message.
A device, comprising:
- memory, configured to store computer executable program code;
- and
- a processor, coupled to the memory, wherein
- the program code comprises instructions, and when the processor executes the instructions, the instructions enables the device to perform the following operations:
- receiving a first loading request message from a network manager (NM) device, wherein the first loading request message comprises image files of a first plurality of virtualized network function modules in a virtualized network function (VNF) device, and the first loading request message requests the device to load the image files of the first plurality of virtualized network function modules;
- and
- loading the image files of the first plurality of virtualized network function modules without loading an image file of a second virtualized network module in the VNF device, wherein the image file of the second virtualized network module is not comprised in the first loading request message.
