Alarm information reporting method and apparatus

An alarm information reporting apparatus, comprising:

• a monitor configured to:
• detect physical resource alarm information at a hardware layer and/or a software layer of the alarm information reporting apparatus;
• an alarm classifier configured to:
• receive the physical resource alarm information from the monitor,
• obtain corresponding virtual machine information from a virtual machine manager based on the physical resource alarm information, and
• send, based on the virtual machine information, the physical resource alarm information to an analog processor corresponding to the virtual machine information;
• and
• wherein the analog processor is configured to:
• obtain corresponding virtual resource alarm information based on the physical resource alarm information, and
• report the physical resource alarm information and the virtual resource alarm information to a virtualized network function (VNF) in a virtual machine corresponding to the virtual machine information to enable the VNF to report the physical resource alarm information and the virtual resource alarm information to a corresponding element manager.

• an alarm classifier configured to:
• receive the physical resource alarm information from the monitor,
• obtain corresponding virtual machine information from a virtual machine manager based on the physical resource alarm information, and obtain virtual resource alarm information corresponding to the physical resource alarm information, and
• send the physical resource alarm information, the virtual resource alarm information, and the virtual machine information to an adapter based on the virtual machine information;
• and
• wherein the adapter is configured to send, based on the virtual machine information, the physical resource alarm information and the virtual resource alarm information to a virtualized network function (VNF) in a virtual machine corresponding to the virtual machine information to enable the VNF to report the physical resource alarm information and the virtual resource alarm information to a corresponding element manager.
