Deployment and dispatching efficiency on Infrastructure.
In order to better understand the above technical scheme, below by attached drawing and specific embodiment to technical solution of the present invention
It is described in detail, it should be understood that the specific features in the embodiment of the present invention and embodiment are to the detailed of technical solution of the present invention
Thin explanation, rather than the restriction to technical solution of the present invention, in the absence of conflict, the embodiment of the present invention and embodiment
In technical characteristic can be combined with each other.
Referring to Figure 1, the embodiment of the present invention provide a kind of configuration of server applied with virtualization network function VNF it is matched
The treatment process of method, this method is as follows.
Step 101: obtaining the carrying demand information of VNF application；Wherein, carrying demand information is answered for characterizing carrying VNF
The minimum critical hsrdware requirements that should have with the server of operation.
When portfolio increase, need to create new VNF in application, if the VNF that newly created VNF application is existing type is answered
With the carrying demand information that can then directly acquire the type VNF application is believed as the newly created VNF carrying demand applied
Breath；If any type that newly created VNF is applied and is not belonging in existing VNF application, can provide from supplier
It, which is obtained, in the deployment conditions of the newly created VNF application carries demand information.
Wherein, the content of demand information is carried, it can be with are as follows: certain class VNF of certain manufacturer is applied, such as PDN Gateway (PDN
GateWay, PGW) deployment conditions, it includes the CPU of certain brand/models or more, requires on the same NUMA node at least
How many CPU core, the network interface card brand supported of network acceleration mechanism of the VNF and model set etc., it is such to service
The hardware requirement of device configuration.
It is to be appreciated that in NFV virtualization technology, in order to solve that network function is deployed in asking on common hardware
Topic；And virtualize various network functions, it forms virtual network function VNF and applies (also referred to as network element).VNF application is soft
Part, it is the infrastructure deployment using NFV infrastructure (NFV Infrastructure, NFVI) offer in virtual machine, appearance
In device or bare-metal physical machine.
For example, generally with general x86 server and respective stored, the network switching equipment, replacing in NFV framework
Dedicated network element device used in conventional communication networks.These dedicated network element devices often with network element provider and specific net
Meta function binding.Then can be by the nodes of telecommunication network of physics using NFV virtualization technology, the void being converted under virtualized environment
Quasi- machine and its corresponding logical network.These operate in the network element in virtual machine, as VNF application.
According to European Telecommunication Standardization Association (European Telecommunications Standards
Institute, ETSI) the NFV frame of reference issued, it is known that, it includes: that NFV infrastructure (NFVI), virtualization basis are set
Apply management (Virtualised infrastructure manager, VIM) and virtual network function scheduling (NFVO), VNF pipe
Manage parts such as (VNF Manager, VNFM).Wherein: NFVI includes common hardware for carrying VNF and operates in general
Virtualization software (Hypervisor) on x86 server；VIM is for managing NFVI.Currently, the open source based on Openstack
Cloud platform management framework essentially becomes the practical realization standard of VIM；VNFM is used for the life cycle management of VNF, including wound
The operation such as build, update, inquiring, changing, terminating；NFVO is responsible for managing the overall scheduling of resource on communications applications VNF and NFVI.
It is for the suitable clothes of VNF application selection after the carrying demand information for obtaining the VNF that will be created application
Device be engaged in carry its operation, specifically refers to step 102.
Step 102: based on carrying demand information and can Inhaul operation set of relations, be VNF using the service that matches of selection
Device；Wherein, can bearing relation collection be to be believed by the carrying demand of key hardware information to each server and all kinds of VNF application
It is established after breath progress the matching analysis.
Since NFVO docks the Openstack interface that VIM mainly uses standard at present, and NFVO can not obtain base from VIM
Every host/server hardware topology situation of Infrastructure layer (NFVI), such as the distribution of CPU model, core on NUMA node
Situation, network interface card model and its PCI slot and the corresponding relationship of NUMA node etc..This results in NFVO not have ad hoc networks automatically
Network accelerates or processing capacity accelerates the VNF of demand, selects suitable server to create virtual machine instance, and can only exist in advance
Manual queries are carried out on VIM, in addition need operation layer dispatcher and hardware side the prior line of operation maintenance personnel under link up, reduce
The efficiency of VNF application deployment and scheduling.
Therefore in order in creation VNF in application, the NFVO server that be automatically VNF match using selection can allow, and base
In the carrying demand information that VNF to be created is applied, applied from the key hardware information with each server with all kinds of VNF
Carry demand information can be in Inhaul operation set of relations, server that selection matches with VNF application.
Wherein, obtain can Inhaul operation set of relations mode are as follows:
Firstly, the outband management system by specifying each server of application access, to obtain the key of each server
Hardware information；Wherein, key hardware information includes at least hardware topology and configuration information and server identification, outband management
System is run in the system of the server with predetermined firmware without proxy management subsystem.
It is to be appreciated that specified application is referred to outer BMC client, and due to the service of current different brands manufacturer
Intelligent Platform Management Interface tool (the Intelligent different and general with outer BMC access interface opening status of device
Platform Management Interface, IPMI tool) do not have the energy for obtaining server detailed hardware topology information
Power；Therefore generally consider to be provided by server provider with outer BMC client, and according to the difference of server provider, type etc.
The outer BMC client of a variety of bands may be needed to integrate, quantity depends primarily on NFVI layers of infrastructure and needs integrated server
Type.
Specifically, the outband management system by specifying each server of application access, can first pass through every class server
The outer BMC client of corresponding band, accesses the outband management system of each server, then again from Management Controller BMC and
In the outband management system of the server of Intelligent Platform Management Interface IPMI firmware, the key hardware letter of each server is obtained
Breath.
It is to be appreciated that IPMI is adopted as peripheral equipment used in business system of the management based on Intel Architecture
A kind of industrial standard, core are that have a special chip controller, i.e. baseboard management controller (Baseboard
Management Controller, BMC), the processor, BIOS or operating system that it is not rely on server carry out work, it
Only one individually run in the system of server without proxy management subsystem, as long as having BMC and IPMI firmware, Bian Kekai
Beginning work.
Also, since the good autonomous characteristic of IPMI overcomes limit suffered by the way to manage based on operating system in the past
System, for example, the operation such as switching on and shutting down, information extraction still can be carried out in the case where operating system is not responding to or is not loaded.
So that the present invention before server installs operating system, can pass through the hardware with outer BMC client crawl server
Topology and configuration information.
By the above-mentioned means, the key hardware for each server that can quickly, be timely collected into current network is believed
It ceases (i.e. hardware topology and configuration information), and these information is stored in database by the mark of server after being collected into
In, for obtain can Inhaul operation set of relations information is provided.
It is to be appreciated that key hardware information (i.e. hardware topology and configuration information) may is that server unique identification,
Such as No. SN or the address mac with outer network interface card, are also possible to server CPU model and/or CPU core on each NUMA node
Distribution situation and/or server on High_speed NIC brand and the PCI slot that is inserted into of model and/or High_speed NIC with
The corresponding relationship etc. of NUMA node.
Secondly, the history based on VNF application calls record or history deployment conditions, determine that the carrying of all kinds of VNF applications needs
Seek information.
Specifically, the history that can be applied by VNF calls record or history deployment conditions, all kinds of VNF are collected to hardware
Demand information, such as: the deployment conditions of certain class VNF of certain manufacturer application may include the CPU of certain brand/models or more, want
The network interface card brand and model for asking the network acceleration mechanism of at least how many a CPU cores on the same NUMA node, the VNF to be supported
Set etc., the carrying demand information as such VNF application.
Wherein, all kinds of VNF can be the mode of manual entry to the collection mode of the demand information of hardware, be also possible to lead to
The mode that API communication is carried out with external other systems is crossed, to collect all kinds of VNF to the demand information of hardware, and then determination is all kinds of
The carrying demand information of VNF application.
And after the carrying demand information for determining all kinds of VNF applications, it is also necessary to storage carrying demand information, storage
Form can be database form, is also possible to specific information and describes file, such as json file, xml document.
Finally, the key hardware information of all kinds of VNF of the collection carrying demand information and each server applied is carried out
The matching analysis, with obtain described in can Inhaul operation set of relations.
Specifically, needing to be implemented the following steps: the first step, at least one determining to match with each carrying demand information
Server；Second step records according to the determined server of each carrying demand information, and establishes corresponding matching relationship；Third
Step, by the corresponding all matching relationships of each carrying demand information of record, as it is described can Inhaul operation set of relations.
In this, at least one server to match with any one carrying demand information is determined, needing first respectively will be every
The key hardware information of one server is compared with any one carrying demand information；Further according to comparison result, per really
When the key hardware information of a fixed server meets any one carrying demand information, it is determined that a server with it is any one
A carrying demand information matches.
And determine that the key hardware information of a server meets any one carrying demand information, needs first to determine one
The location information and configuration information of the key hardware of server in the server；If it is determined that location information is needed in any one carrying
In the range of the location information for seeking the key hardware recorded in information, and determine configuration information not less than any one carrying demand
The configuration information of the key hardware of information record then judges that the key hardware information an of server meets any one carrying need
Seek information；Wherein, location information is obtained from the hardware topology of a server.
For example, the carrying demand information of a VNF application J requires: 1) model A (the wherein server of the CPU of server
Performance A is higher than C and is lower than B)；It 2) can be 5 with CPU core number on the single NUMA node of server, respective external forwarding carries out
The CPU core sum that need to be occupied is 3；3) there are High_speed NICs on the corresponding PCI slot of the NUMA node, and the network interface card model
Range of fit is M, N (assuming that VNF application needs corresponding network acceleration technique to support)；4) High_speed NIC is needed in server master
The side E of plate.
And there are 3 servers in current network, in which:
It is identified as the key hardware information of 1 server are as follows: the single NUMA of the model A of the CPU of server, server
It can be 8 with CPU core number on node, it is 5 that respective external forwarding, which carries out the CPU core sum that need to be occupied, corresponding in the NUMA node
PCI slot on there are High_speed NICs, and the model M of the network interface card, High_speed NIC M are in the side E of server master board.
It is identified as the key hardware information of 2 server are as follows: the single NUMA of the model B of the CPU of server, server
It can be 6 with CPU core number on node, it is 4 that respective external forwarding, which carries out the CPU core sum that need to be occupied, corresponding in the NUMA node
PCI slot on there are High_speed NICs, and the model N of the network interface card；High_speed NIC N is in the side F of server master board.
It is identified as the key hardware information of 3 server are as follows: the single NUMA of the model C of the CPU of server, server
It can be 3 with CPU core number on node, it is 1 that respective external forwarding, which carries out the CPU core sum that need to be occupied, corresponding in the NUMA node
PCI slot on be not present High_speed NIC.
The carrying demand information that above-mentioned VNF is applied is compared with the key hardware information of this 3 servers, and discovery is only
There is the CPU for the server for being identified as 1 and 2 to be not less than the cpu demand of VNF application J, and CPU core can be used on single NUMA node
The CPU core sum that number is no less than this VNF application J and respective external forwarding need to occupy, and in the corresponding PCI slot of the NUMA node
On there are this VNF application J can be the High_speed NIC in configuration range, but the High_speed NIC for being identified as 2 server does not exist
The side E that VNF application J needs.So being only identified as 1 server could be used to carry the operation of VNF application J.At this point, just
The server and VNF application J that are identified as 1 can be established can Inhaul operation relationship.
It is also to be appreciated that assuming that having the key hardware information of the above-mentioned server for being identified as 1,2,3 all to meet VNF answers
It, can Inhaul operation relationship with the server for being identified as 1,2,3 then VNF application J can be established with the carrying demand information of J.
And it is also to be appreciated that the carrying demand for the VNF application for assuming to have VNF application J1, J2, J3, J4 even more
Information and the key hardware information of the above-mentioned server for being identified as 1,2,3 all match, then just can establish VNF application J1, J2,
J3, J4 respectively with the server that is identified as 1,2,3 can Inhaul operation relationship, naturally it is also possible to be the service for being identified as 1,2,3
Device respectively with VNF application J1, J2, J3, J4 can Inhaul operation relationship, specifically how to correspond to, it is not limited here.
Further, obtain can after Inhaul operation set of relations, if server or carrying demand information are changed,
Can also be updated according to the variation of server or carrying demand information can Inhaul operation set of relations.
If after the server in current network increases or decreases, can automatically update and can hold according to the increase and decrease situation of server
