S201：Receive the life cycle modification information for virtualization network element sent by VNFM；

S202：Judge and determine the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element；

S203：It please for the operation of adapter assembly to VNFM transmissions according to the life cycle modification information of virtualization network element It asks；

S204：The life cycle modification information of adapter assembly and resource modification information are obtained from VNFM.

It should be noted that in the present embodiment, virtualization network element can be for example VNF network elements, subsequently repeat no more.

For the life cycle change corresponding to virtualization network element and for the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element Operation is the operation for respective life cycle；It specifically, can be with for the life cycle change corresponding to virtualization network element Including：Virtualize network element instantiation, virtualization network element terminates, virtualizes the operations such as network element updating；And corresponding to virtualization network element Instantiation, operation can include the instantiation of adapter assembly to adapter assembly accordingly；It is terminated corresponding to virtualization network element, adaptation group The example that part operation accordingly can include adapter assembly terminates；Corresponding to virtualization network element updating, adapter assembly is grasped accordingly Work includes：After upgrading before the instantiation and upgrading of adapter assembly adapter assembly termination.

It is to be appreciated that in the subsequent embodiment of the present embodiment and the application, term " instantiation " (or example Change) meaning represent in virtualized infrastructure, virtualization network element by certain communication network elements or function with available The virtualization network function of itself is set up, opens, activating, creating or being carried out to certain mode.

Through the above scheme, it can be seen that the life cycle of adapter assembly is opposite according to the life cycle of virtualization network element Should, it is therefore not necessary to when version is run, start the adapter assembly of all NE types that can be supported of EM, reduce useless suitable Resource consumption and waste caused by the operation of distribution assembly；And EM is when the life cycle of VNF and adapter assembly change, The life cycle variation of VNF and adapter assembly can be adapted to automatically without terminating operation.

Technical solution shown in Fig. 2 is illustrated below by way of the virtualization specific life cycle state of network element.

Illustratively, after the completion of virtualization network element instantiation, the life cycle modification information of the virtualization network element, packet It includes：The attribute information of virtualization network element that need to be instantiated.It is described to judge and determine the virtualization network element pair for step S202 The adapter assembly answered, specifically includes：The attribute information of virtualization network element according to that need to instantiate judges and determines described to need example The corresponding adapter assembly that need to be instantiated of virtualization network element of change.

Specifically, the attribute information of virtualization network element that need to be instantiated can include：Element name is virtualized, virtualizes net The information such as element type, virtualization network element version.NFVO can be virtual by searching for adapter assembly and NE type, network element version etc. Change the mapping table between network element attribute information to obtain the adapter assembly that need to be instantiated.

It should be noted that different virtualization NE types can correspond to different adapter assemblies；And for same type Virtualization network element, different network element versions can also correspond to different adapter assemblies；Therefore, in practical application, adapter assembly There can be mapping relations between more than one virtualization network element attribute information.

Accordingly for step S203, the life cycle modification information according to virtualization network element sends needle to VNFM To the operation requests of adapter assembly, specifically include：

When the adapter assembly not running that need to be instantiated, adapter assembly instantiation request is sent to VNFM；Wherein, it is described suitable Distribution assembly instantiation request includes：The adapter assembly type and adaptation blueprint mark that need to be instantiated；Adaptation blueprint mark is used for VNFM obtains the adapter assembly blueprint that need to be instantiated according to adaptation blueprint mark, and blue according to the adapter assembly that need to be instantiated Figure calculates resource required when the adapter assembly that need to be instantiated is run.

It is described to obtain the life cycle modification information of adapter assembly and resource change from VNFM accordingly for step S204 More information specifically includes：

And it is asked to send resource authorization information to VNFM according to resource bid；The resource authorization information is used to indicate VNFM distributes resource required when the adapter assembly that need to be instantiated is run to VIM requests；

And receive the resource allocation result that VNFM is sent；

And receive the adapter assembly corresponding instance completion notice that need to be instantiated that VNFM is sent.

Specifically, VNFM is calculated after resource required when the adapter assembly that need to be instantiated is run, Ke Yixiang The system resources such as the resource needed for NFVO application adapter assembly operations, such as Internet resources, memory source, cpu resource；And VNFM can ask VIM to distribute resource after the resource authorization information for receiving NFVO returns；When VIM checks required money When source can provide, resource can be distributed and return to resource allocation completion notice to VFNM；VNFM is informed about the money needed for NFVO Source will be adapted component use, and the virtualization network element that the required instantiations of VNFM instantiation operation maintenance units EM are completed Adapter assembly after, notice NFVO need to instantiate adapter assembly instantiation complete.

It should be noted that for this example, for new type network element after online implementing, corresponding adapter assembly can be therewith Operation so that Operation and Maintenance Unit EM need not upgrade or stop running, you can support the management to new type network element, adaptation group The operation of part can adapt to the variation for the network element that EM is managed automatically.

Illustratively, after the completion of virtualization network element terminates, the life cycle modification information of the virtualization network element includes： The attribute information of the virtualization network element of termination.For step S202, can specifically include：

The virtualization network element of the termination is obtained according to the attribute information of the virtualization network element of termination corresponding need to terminate Adapter assembly；

Accordingly for step S203, can specifically include：

Determine the operating status of adapter assembly that need to be terminated；

The adapter assembly that need to be terminated is directed to transmitted by after the reception VNFM terminations adapter assembly that need to be terminated Termination completion notice；

VNFM is received after the resource release of the adapter assembly that need to be terminated is completed, the release of transmitted resource is logical Know.

Specifically, VNFM can return to operation task number after receiving adapter assembly and terminating request to NFVO, in order to NFVO can initiate the inquiry for task operating state；And after VNFM terminates the adapter assembly that need to be terminated, NFVO Termination operation for the adapter assembly that need to be terminated has been completed；VNFM notices VIM discharges the adaptation group that need to be terminated The occupied resource of part, and after the completion of VIM notice VNFM resource releases, VNFM notice NFVO, the adaptation group that need to be terminated The occupied resource of part has discharged, resource using status update.

It should be noted that for this example, with virtualization network element the running abort in system of certain NE type, Its corresponding adapter assembly can terminate therewith so that Operation and Maintenance Unit EM voluntarily need not upgrade or stop running, you can eventually Only resource is discharged without necessary adapter assembly is run.

Illustratively, after the completion of virtualizing network element updating, the life cycle modification information of the virtualization network element includes：It rises The attribute information of virtualization network element before the attribute information of virtualization network element after grade and upgrading.It should be noted that due to It is related to virtualizing the upgrading of network element, correspondingly, for the operation of the adapter assembly of virtualization network element, can includes starting operation The virtualization network element before the corresponding adapter assembly that need to be instantiated of virtualization network element and termination upgrading after upgrading is corresponding suitable Two aspects of distribution assembly.

On the one hand, it for the corresponding adapter assembly that need to be instantiated of virtualization network element after operation upgrades is started, needs Bright is：

For step S203, the life cycle modification information according to virtualization network element is sent to the VNFM for suitable The operation requests of distribution assembly, specifically include：

During the adapter assembly not running that need to be instantiated when the virtualization network element after upgrading is corresponding, sent to VNFM for liter The instantiation request of the corresponding adapter assembly that need to be instantiated of virtualization network element after grade；Wherein, the virtualization after the upgrading The corresponding adapter assembly instantiation request that need to be instantiated of network element includes：Virtualization network element after upgrading is corresponding to be instantiated Adapter assembly type and adaptation blueprint mark；It is adapted to blueprint mark and the void after upgrading is obtained according to adaptation blueprint mark for VNFM The corresponding adapter assembly blueprint that need to be instantiated of planization network element, and need example according to the virtualization network element after the upgrading is corresponding The adapter assembly blueprint of change calculates required when the corresponding adapter assembly that need to be instantiated of the virtualization network element after the upgrading is run Resource.

It is described to obtain the life cycle modification information of adapter assembly and resource modification information from VNFM for step S204, It specifically includes：

And it is asked to send resource authorization information to VNFM according to resource bid；The resource authorization information is used to indicate The virtualization network element corresponding adapter assemblies that need to instantiate of the VNFM after VIM request distribution upgrading money required when running Source；

And receive the resource allocation result that VNFM is sent；

And it receives the corresponding adapter assembly that need to be instantiated of the virtualization network element after the upgrading that VNFM is sent and corresponds to Instantiate completion notice.

Specifically, the corresponding adapter assembly operation that need to be instantiated of the virtualization network element after the upgrading is calculated in VNFM After the resource of Shi Suoxu, it can apply for the resource needed for adapter assembly operation to NFVO, such as Internet resources, memory source, The system resources such as cpu resource；And VNFM can ask VIM to distribute after the resource authorization information for receiving NFVO returns Resource；When VIM checks that required resource can provide, resource can be distributed and return to resource allocation completion notice to VFNM； The resource that VNFM is informed about needed for NFVO will be adapted component use, and required for VNFM instantiation operation maintenance units EM Instantiation complete virtualization network element adapter assembly after, notice NFVO need to instantiate adapter assembly instantiation complete.

On the other hand, for the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element terminated before upgrading, it should be noted that：

The corresponding adaptation of virtualization network element before the upgrading is obtained according to the attribute information of the virtualization network element before upgrading Component；

Specifically, the attribute information of the virtualization network element before upgrading can include：Virtualize element name, NE type, Network element version, network element instance number before upgrading etc..NFVO can be by searching for adapter assembly and the virtualization network element before upgrading Mapping table between attribute information obtains the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element before upgrading.

For step S203, the life cycle modification information according to virtualization network element is sent to VNFM for adaptation group The operation requests of part, specifically include：

Determine the operating status of the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element before upgrading；

When the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element before upgrading is currently running, the virtualization network element pair before upgrading is obtained The corresponding instance number of adapter assembly answered；

When determining that network element not identical with the virtualization NE type before upgrading is in operating status, sent to VNFM Adapter assembly terminates request；Wherein, adapter assembly terminates the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element before asking to include upgrading Instance number.

Receive VNFM terminate it is transmitted for described after the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element before the upgrading The termination completion notice of the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element before upgrading；

After the resource release completion for receiving the corresponding adapter assemblies of virtualization network element of the VNFM before the upgrading, sent out The resource release notice sent.

Specifically, VNFM can return to operation task number after receiving adapter assembly and terminating request to NFVO, in order to NFVO can initiate the inquiry for task operating state；And it is corresponding suitable that VNFM terminates the virtualization network element before the upgrading After distribution assembly, the termination operation that NFVO is directed to the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element before the upgrading has been completed； VNFM notices VIM discharges the occupied resource of the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element before the upgrading, and VIM is notified After the completion of the release of VNFM resources, VNFM notifies NFVO, and the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element before the upgrading is occupied Resource has discharged, resource using status update.

It should be noted that by above-mentioned for the virtualization network element pair started after operation upgrades after the corresponding upgrading of network element The corresponding adaptation group of virtualization network element before the adapter assembly for the need instantiation answered and termination upgrading before the corresponding upgrading of network element Implementation of the part in terms of the two, it can be realized that, after network element updating is virtualized, it is necessary to for network element pair after upgrading The corresponding adapter assembly that need to be instantiated of virtualization network element after the upgrading answered is instantiated, and network element before upgrading is corresponded to Upgrading before the corresponding adapter assembly of virtualization network element terminated, specific implementation process is referred to be directed in aforementioned exemplary Scheme that the corresponding adapter assemblies of VNF after the completion of instantiation are run and for the corresponding adaptation groups of VNF after termination The scheme that part is terminated, the present embodiment do not repeat this.

Illustratively, when EM increases the NE type that can be supported newly, the method further includes：

NFVO receives update request；Wherein, update request includes Operation and Maintenance packet mark to be updated, operation to be updated Safeguard the file path of packet and fresh information explanation；

After NFVO determines that the Operation and Maintenance to be updated is packed in library according to Operation and Maintenance packet mark to be updated, it will treat Blueprint file in newer Operation and Maintenance packet is preserved to Catalog, and according to the file path of Operation and Maintenance packet by software mirror As packet is preserved to software storage；

Fresh information includes the support instruction information of newly-increased NE type in illustrating when, NFVO is according to Operation and Maintenance packet mark Know the blueprint file obtained in Catalog；
