Problems solved by technology

[0004] The above-mentioned traditional network element online process cannot be run directly after the software version is downloaded and activated, but needs to be configured with a large amount of business data and environmental data
This configuration process takes a long time, and the process of configuring data is also error-prone
Moreover, when the communication network element upgrades the software version, it needs to go through the process of version activation and data upgrade again, which will cause a long-term communication interruption of the network element providing online services

Embodiment 1

[0074] see figure 1 , which shows a method for configuring a virtual network element provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be applied to an apparatus for configuring a virtual network element, and the method may include:

[0075] S101: Select a data image and a basic image from a software warehouse according to a preset generation strategy;

[0076] S102: Generate a required runtime image of the virtual network element according to the data image and the basic image;

[0077] S103: Load the runtime image to the virtual network element.

[0078] Understandably, after the virtual network element image is loaded and activated, the virtual network element can be directly connected to run in the communication network, and the network communication function indicated by the virtual network element image can be implemented.

[0079] It should be noted that the virtual network element image is usually loaded into the virtual network element under the con...

Embodiment 2

[0112] In the process of the above embodiments, the processing structure of the apparatus 20 for configuring virtual network elements may be as follows figure 2As shown, it includes: a configuration unit 201, a software warehouse 202 with hierarchical mirroring; specifically, the hierarchical mirroring in the software warehouse 202 may include: basic mirroring 2021; business data mirroring 2022; environment data mirroring 2023; 2021 performs data injection by superimposing layered images, superimposes the service data image 2022 and the environment data image 2023 into the basic image 2021, and generates a network element image 203 for the required runtime of the virtual network element. The configuration unit 201 is responsible for scheduling the process of the entire technical solution, and instructs the software repository 202 to load the final network element image 203 into the virtual network element.

[0113] based on figure 2 The shown processing procedure structure ...

specific Embodiment 1

[0114] This specific embodiment combines figure 2 The processing structure shown in the figure describes the initialization process of the virtual network element in detail, such as image 3 shown, can include:

[0115] S301: The configuration unit issues a construction instruction for constructing a network element image to a software warehouse;

[0116] It should be noted that the instruction includes the basic image identifier, the service data image identifier and the environment data image identifier.

[0117] S302: The software warehouse locates the corresponding basic image according to the identification of the basic image of the network element in the construction instruction.

[0118] S303: The software warehouse locates at least one corresponding business data mirror according to the business data mirror identifier in the construction instruction.

[0119] It should be noted that service data can usually enhance the specific functions of virtual network elements...

Abstract

The embodiment of the present invention discloses a virtual network element configuration method and device. The method may include: selecting a data image and a basic image from a software warehouse according to a preset generation strategy; generating a virtual network element according to the data image and the basic image. An image of the runtime is required; the image of the runtime is loaded to the virtual network element.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to network management technology, in particular to a configuration method and device of a virtual network element. Background technique [0002] At present, in the field of communication network management, the technical solution usually adopted for the initialization of communication network elements is: after installing the hardware, download the software version, activate and run, configure service data, and configure the environment data. It is transformed into an online service entity that has specific functions and can communicate with other network elements of the same or different types in the communication network. [0003] Such a technical solution is due to the limitation of the traditional communication system from three aspects: the programming idea of ​​separation of program and data, the confidentiality and convenience of software version compilation and production, and the high cost of software version tran...
