Embodiment 1

[0026] This embodiment proposes a method for starting the test network element location and troubleshooting in the NFV platform, and the specific implementation process includes:

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

[0028] Furthermore, each VNF image template only corresponds to one type of fault problem, such as cloud platform resource problems, cloud platform network problems, cloud platform storage problems, EMS problems on VNF, and VNF network element business logic problems.

[0029] Step 2) Select the VNF mapping template and startup parameters according to the fault prediction, and then make a manual prediction or MANO (Management and Orchestration, management orchestrator) based on the collected information;

[0030] Further, when an NFV network element fails, manually use the VIM at the corresponding location on the cloud platform to start VM detection and troubleshooti...

Embodiment 2

[0037] This embodiment proposes a method for starting a test network element location and troubleshooting in an NFV platform. On the basis of Embodiment 1, specific steps for manual or MANO troubleshooting and location are added. The specific process includes:

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

[0039] Step 2) Select the VNF image template and startup parameters according to the fault prediction, and make the prediction manually or by MANO based on the collected information.

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

[0041] Further, the VIM starts one or more detection VNFs at the corresponding positions as needed. Based on the factors caused by detection VNF detection failures, they are computing resource problems, network resource problems, storage resource problems, cloud platform management problems, a...

Embodiment 3

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

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

[0049] Step 2) Select the VNF image template and start-up parameters according to the fault prediction, and make the prediction manually or by MANO based on the collected information;

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

[0051] Specifically, VIM starts one or more detection VNFs at corresponding locations as needed; based on the factors caused by detection VNF detection failures: computing resource problems, network resource problems, storage resource problems, cloud platfor...

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...
