Example Embodiment

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] This embodiment proposes a method for locating and troubleshooting a test network element in an NFV platform. The specific implementation process includes:

[0027] Step 1) Predetermine a variety of VNF image templates (Virtual Network Feature, virtual network function modules) for troubleshooting;

[0028] Furthermore, each VNF image template only corresponds to one type of failure problem, such as for cloud platform resource problems, for cloud platform network problems, for cloud platform storage problems, for EMS problems on VNFs, and for VNF network elements' own business logic problems.

[0029] Step 2) Select the VNF mapping template and startup parameters based on the failure prediction, and then manually predict it or by MANO (Management and Orchestration, management orchestration) based on the collected information;

[0030] Further, when the NFV network element fails, manually use the VIM to start the VM detection and troubleshooting at the correspo...

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] This embodiment proposes a method for locating and troubleshooting faults in the NFV platform for starting test network elements. On the basis of Embodiment 1, specific steps for troubleshooting and locating faults manually or by MANO are added. The specific process includes:

[0038] Step 1) Predetermine a variety of VNF image templates for troubleshooting; each VNF image template corresponds to only one type of fault problem.

[0039] Step 2) Select the VNF image template and startup parameters based on the failure prediction, manual prediction or MANO prediction based on the collected information.

[0040] Step 3) Manually or by MANO through VIM to start fault detection and troubleshooting VNF;

[0041] Furthermore, VIM activates one or more detection VNFs in corresponding locations as needed. Based on the detection of VNF detection failures, factors such as computing resource problems, network resource problems, storage resource problems, cloud platform ma...

[0046] Example 3:

[0047] This embodiment proposes a method for locating and troubleshooting faults by starting a test network element in an NFV platform. On the basis of Embodiment 2, specific processing method steps for troubleshooting and locating faults are added, as attached figure 2 As shown, the specific process includes:

[0048] Step 1) Prefabricate multiple VNF image templates for troubleshooting, and each template corresponds to a type of fault.

[0049] Step 2) Select the VNF image template and startup parameters based on the failure prediction, manual prediction or MANO prediction based on the collected information;

[0050] Step 3) Manually or by MANO through VIM to start fault detection and troubleshooting VNF;

[0051] Specifically, VIM activates one or more detection VNFs at the corresponding location as needed; based on detecting the factors caused by the detection of VNF failures: computing resource problems, network resource problems, storage resource problems, cl...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for starting a test network element to locate and remove faults in an NFV platform, and relates to the field of VNF. The method comprises the following steps: firstlypredetermining multiple NFF image templates for troubleshooting; selecting the NFF image templates and starting parameters according to fault pre-judgment, and then manually pre-judging or pre-judgingby the information collected by MANO; on the basis of the troubleshooting, judging whether an iteration mod is needed to further check whether the fault is a problem caused by many reasons; and finally reporting a troubleshooting result and releasing resources used in the troubleshooting process. The manual or upper layer MANO reference fault expression is imported, and the test network element is automatically started to detect and remove faults, thereby greatly reducing the troubleshooting efficiency and saving the locating time of network elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of NFV, and specifically relates to a method for locating and troubleshooting network elements for starting a test in an NFV platform. Background technique [0002] NFV (Network Function Virtualization, Network Function Virtualization) deployment environment is cloud-based, and resources are dynamically allocated and intelligently adjusted. NFV network elements run on a virtualization platform. Compared with traditional telecom settings, NFV service network elements The troubleshooting of NFV is more complicated, so how to intelligently locate and troubleshoot NFV faults is a challenge. [0003] attached figure 1 It is the NFV system architecture diagram, as attached figure 1 As shown, the bottom hardware layer on the left includes common servers, switches, and storage devices. Above the hardware layer is the virtualization layer, and above the virtualization layer are virtual machines, which are used to run busines...
