Description

一种网络功能虚拟化 NFV故障管理装置、 设备及方法 技术领域
本发明涉及虚拟化技术领域, 尤其涉及一种网络功能虚拟化 NFV故障管 理装置、 设备及方法。 背景技术
提出网络功能虚拟化 (Network Function Virtualization , NFV)的目的是希望 通过借鉴信息技术中的虚拟化技术,在通用的高性能服务器、 交换机和存储中 实现部分网络功能。这需要网络功能以软件方式实现, 并能在通用的服务器硬 件上运行, 可以根据需要进行迁移、 实例化、 部署在网络的不同位置, 并且不 需要安装新设备。 如图 1 中所示的典型网络应用方式与网络功能虚拟化 NFV 方式的对比示意图, 各种类型的网络设备, 如服务器、 路由器、 存储设备如内 容分发网络 (Content Delivery Network, CDN)、 交换机等, 都可以通过网络功 能虚拟化技术实现软硬件分离, 它们可以部署在数据中心、 网络节点或者用户 家中。
如图 2所示的 NFV系统架构图,一个 NFV系统包括多个节点如虚拟网络 功能 ( Virtualized Network Function , VNF)、 网元管理系统 (Element Management System, EMS), NFV基础设施 (NFV Infrastructure, NFVI)、 虚拟化基础设施 管理器 (Virtualized Infrastructure Manager, VIM), 编排器 (NFV Orchestrator, NFVO)、 VNF管理器 (VNF Manager, VNFM), 服务、 VNF和基础设施描述装 置 (Service , VNF and Infrastructure Description)、 运营支撑系统 (Operation Support System, OSS)/业务支撑系统 (Business Support System, BSS), 以及各 节点间的接口如 VNF和 NFVI之间的接口 Vn-Nf、 虚拟层和硬件资源之间的 接口 VI-Ha、 Orchestrator和 VNF Manager之间的接口 Or-Vnfm、 VIM和 VNFM 之间的接口 Vi-Vnfm、 NFVO和 VIM之间的接口 Or-Vi、 NFVI和 VIM之间的 接口 Nf-Vi、 OSS/BSS和 NFVO之间的接口 Os-Ma、 VNF/EMS和 VNFM之间 的接口 Ve-Vnfm、服务、 VNF和基础设施描述装置和 NFVO之间的接口 Se-Ma。
各节点在运行时可能会产生故障, 某一些节点需要向另一些节点通知故 障, 目前讨论的有两种 NFV故障通知机制, 第一种机制是在 NFVI出现故障 时, 直接发布给 VNF, 第二种机制是在 NFVI 出现故障时, 通过 VIM通知 VNFM, 然后由 VNFM通知 VNF。 但是, 在 NFV系统的复杂环境中, 节点层 次繁多, 一个 VNF下任何一层都有可能出现故障。 利用现有技术提到的第一 种机制, 跨层发布故障信息实现难度较大, 而采用第二种机制, 通过 VIM通 知 VNFM, 然后由 VNFM通知 VNF, 层层发布会造成较大的时延。

第一接收单元 11 , 用于接收 NFV系统中的至少一个订阅节点发送的故障 订阅消息, 所述故障订阅消息包括: 所述至少一个订阅节点的节点标识和请求 订阅的故障信息。
在 NFV系统中,每个节点都可以向 NFV故障管理装置订阅其它节点的故 障信息, 这些订阅节点可以是 VNF、 EMS、 NFVL VIM, NFVO, VNFM、 OSS/BSS 等, 每个订阅节点可以订阅一个或多个故障发布节点发布的故障信 息。订阅节点向 NFV故障管理装置发送故障订阅消息,该故障订阅消息包括: 订阅节点的节点标识和请求订阅的故障信息,该订阅节点的节点标识用于唯一 标识一个订阅节点,该请求订阅的故障信息可以包括: 故障发布节点的分组标 识, 故障发布节点的节点标识, 故障类型, 和 /或故障内容、 和 /或故障优先级, 还可以包括故障老化时间。订阅节点在进行故障消息订阅的同时, 激活订阅节 点的故障消息接收功能, 以接收 NFV故障管理装置通知的故障信息。
如果节点不需要订阅某种故障信息, 也可以向 NFV故障管理装置发送故 障信息不订阅 "Fault Message Unsubscribe" 。 如图 4所示的示例的一个故障信 息订阅、发布和通知流程示意图,订阅节点标识为 ID1的节点 VIM向 NFV故 障管理装置发送故障发布节点分组标识为组 1、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID3、 故障类型为 Al、 故障内容为 A2的 "Fault Message Unsubscribe" 消息, 订阅节点标识为 ID4的节点 NFVO向 NFV故障管理装置发送故障发布节点分 组标识为组 1、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID3、 故障类型为 Bl、 故障内容为 C2的 "Fault Message Unsubscribe" 消息, 进行故障消息去订阅并去激活节点 的故障接收功能。
其中, 故障订阅消息中携带的主要参数信息定义如下:
故障发布节点分组标识 Group :故障发布节点所在的分组, 具体分组规则 本发明实施例不做限定。 例如可以按一个网络服务( Network Service )之下的 所有 VNF作为一个组, 订阅节点一般订阅所关注组的故障发布节点发布的故 障信息。 NFV中对 Network service的定义是指: 由多个 VNF或多个 VNF和 物理网络功能 (Physical Network Function, PNF)组成, 以提供更复杂的功能。 例如, 由虚拟或物理的 MME, PGW/SGW, 归属用户服务器 (Home Subscriber Server , HSS)以及它们之间的虚拟链路组成的演进的分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core, EPC)就可以称作一个 Network Service„
故障发布节点的节点标识 Node ID: 故障发布节点的节点标识通常用于标 注与定位故障信息发布者, 也就是它间接地提供了故障位置信息。 故障类型 / 内容 Fault type/Content: 故障具体信息包括故障类型、 故障内容。
故障优先级 Priority: 故障的紧急重要程度标识。
故障老化时间 expiration time : 故障订阅的有效时间。 这个是一个可选的 参数,用法如下: 比如, 3600s表示订阅节点在发送故障订阅消息之后的 3600s 内订阅此故障消息, 3600s之外此故障订阅消息失效; 或者比如, 20: 00-22: 00表示在这个时间段之内订阅节点订阅此故障消息, 此时间段外此故障订阅 消息失效。
NFV故障管理装置 1000中的第一接收单元 11接收 NFV系统中任一订阅 节点发送的故障订阅消息。
如图 4所示, 订阅节点的节点标识为 ID4的订阅节点 NFVO向 NFV故障 管理装置订阅故障发布节点的分组标识为组 1、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID3、 故障类型为 Al、 故障内容为 A2和故障老化时间为时间 1的故障信息, 以及订阅故障发布节点的分组标识为组 3、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID6、 故障类型为 Bl、故障内容为 C2和故障老化时间为时间 2的故障信息,订阅节 点的节点标识为 ID7的订阅节点 VNFM向 NFV故障管理装置订阅故障发布节 点的分组标识为组 3、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID6、 故障类型为 Bl、 故障 内容为 C2和故障老化时间为时间 3的故障信息, 订阅节点的节点标识为 ID5 的订阅节点 VNF向 NFV故障管理装置订阅故障发布节点的分组标识为组 2、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID2、 故障类型为 Bl、 故障内容为 B2和故障老化 时间为时间 4的故障信息,订阅节点的节点标识为 ID1的订阅节点 VIM向 NFV 故障管理装置订阅故障发布节点的分组标识为组 1、 故障发布节点的节点标识 为 ID3、故障类型为 A1、故障内容为 A2和故障老化时间为时间 5的故障信息。
第二接收单元 12, 用于接收所述 NFV系统中至少一个故障发布节点发送 的故障发布消息。
在 NFV系统中, 每个节点也可以向 NFV故障管理装置 1000发送故障发 布消息, NFV故障管理装置 1000的第二接收单元 12接收 NFV系统中任一节 点发送的故障发布消息, 该故障发布消息包括: 故障发布节点的分组标识, 故 障发布节点的节点标识, 故障类型, 和 /或故障内容, 和 /或故障优先级, 各参 数的含义与前面描述的参数含义相同, 还可以包括故障发生时间。
如图 4所示,故障发布节点监视器向 NFV故障管理装置 1000发布故障发 布节点的分组标识为组 3、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID6、 故障类型为 Bl、 故障内容为 C2和故障发生时间为时间 6的故障信息; 某一硬件资源故障发布 节点向 NFV故障管理装置 1000发布故障发布节点的分组标识为组 2、 故障发 布节点的节点标识为 ID2、 故障类型为 Bl、 故障内容为 B2和故障发生时间为 时间 7的故障信息,如图 2中, NFVI中的硬件资源包括:计算硬件 (Computing Hardware), 存储硬件 (Storing Hardware), 网络硬件 (Network Hardware); 故障 发布节点虚拟机 (Virtual Machine, VM)向 NFV故障管理装置 1000发布故障发 布节点的分组标识为组 1、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID3、 故障类型为 Al、 故障内容为 A2和故障发生时间为时间 8的故障信息。
需要说明的是, 虽然每个节点都可以向 NFV故障管理装置请求订阅和发 布故障消息,每个节点也可以接收 NFV故障管理装置通知的故障信息,但是, 不是每个节点都需要具备订阅、 发布和接收通知这三个功能, 如 NFV的底层 存储节点, 其只需要发布功能即可, 如 OSS节点, 因为没有必要向其它节点 分发自己的故障信息, 因此 OSS不需要故障信息发布功能。
匹配单元 13, 用于将所述请求订阅的故障信息和所述故障发布消息进行 匹配, 生成故障通知消息。
NFV故障管理装置 1000接收到了一个或多个订阅节点的故障订阅消息, 又接收到了一个或多个故障发布节点发布的故障发布消息,请求订阅的故障消 息和故障发布消息中包含的参数一致,通过对故障订阅消息和故障发布消息的 参数进行匹配, 生成故障通知消息, 该故障通知消息包括: 订阅节点的节点标 识, 故障发布节点的分组标识, 故障发布节点的节点标识, 故障类型, 和 /或 故障内容、 和 /或故障优先级, 还可以包括接收故障发布消息的时间和进行故 障信息通知的时间。
如图 4所示, 故障发布消息中包含所请求订阅的故障类型为 B1和故障内 容为 C2、 故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 B2、 故障类型为 A1和故障内容为 A2 的故障信息。
通知单元 14, 用于将所述故障通知消息通知对应的与所述至少一个订阅 节点的节点标识关联的订阅节点。
匹配单元 13进行请求订阅的故障信息和故障发布消息的参数匹配后, 得 到一个或多个故障通知消息, 通知单元 14将该一个或多个故障通知消息分别 通知给相应的订阅节点。
如图 4所示,通知单元 14将故障类型为 A1和故障内容为 A2的故障信息 分别通知订阅节点 VIM和 NFVO, 将故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 B2的故障 信息通知订阅节点 VNF, 将故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 C2的故障信息分别 通知订阅节点 VNFM和 NFVO。
如图 4 所示, 故障发布消息中还包含故障优先级, 例如, 故障发布节点 VNFM发布的故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 C2的故障信息的故障优先级为 3, 硬件资源故障发布节点发布的故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 B2的故障信息的 故障优先级为 2, 故障发布节点虚拟机 (Virtual Machine, VM)发布的故障类型 为 A1和故障内容为 A2的故障信息的故障优先级为 1 , 在此默认优先级从高 到低的顺序为 1、 2、 3。
通知单元 14可以根据故障发布消息中的故障优先级, 按照故障优先级从 高到低的顺序依次通知订阅节点,如图 4所示, 先将故障优先级为 1的故障类 型为 A1和故障内容为 A2的故障通知消息通知订阅节点 VIM和 NFVO,然后 将故障优先级为 2的故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 B2的故障通知消息通知订 阅节点 VNF, 同时将故障优先级为 2的故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 C2的故 障通知消息通知订阅节点 VNFM, 最后将故障优先级为 3的故障类型为 B1和 故障内容为 C2的故障通知消息通知订阅节点 NFVO。 一般来说, 越底层的节 点的故障越是重要紧急, 对时延性要求越高。
如果两个或两个以上订阅节点请求订阅相同故障类型和故障内容的故障 信息, 通知单元 14还可以将相同故障类型和故障内容的故障通知消息同时通 知两个或两个以上订阅节点。
订阅节点在接收到故障消息通知后, 启动故障处理机制。
可见,根据本发明实施例提供的一种 NFV故障管理装置,通过在 NFV系 统中设置 NFV故障管理装置,统一接收 NFV系统中任一节点的故障订阅消息 和故障发布消息, 并对接收到的故障订阅消息和故障发布消息的参数进行匹 配,将故障通知消息通知相应的节点, 可以实现节点故障信息的实时快速定位 和通知。 请参阅图 5, 为本发明实施例提供的另一种 NFV故障管理装置的结构示 意图。 该装置 2000包括:
获取单元 21 , 用于从网络功能虚拟化编排器 NFVO获取至少一个虚拟网 络功能 VNF节点的标识与至少一个网络功能虚拟化基础设施 NFVI节点的标 识之间的对应关系。
现有 NFV系统中 VNF节点并不知道其对应的 NFVI资源配置情况,所以 需要 NFV故障管理装置存储 VNF信息及其对应的 NFVI资源配置信息, 即 VNF节点的标识与 NFVI节点的标识之间的对应关系。
有四种方式,获取单元 21可以获取到 VNF节点的标识与 NFVI节点的标 识之间的对应关系:
方式 1: 在实例化 VNF、 NFVO更新 VNF目录 (VNF catalog), NFV服务 目录 (NFV Service Catalog)以及 VNF实例 (VNF Instances)完成之后, 由 NFVO 向 NFV故障管理装置发送 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI资源配置对应关系。 NFV 故障管理装置存储 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI 资源配置对应关系,用于 NFV故 障管理装置进行故障消息的匹配处理。
方式 2: 在 VNF的负载增加或者 VNF的负载逐渐减少的情况下, 为了保 证资源的有效利用, NFV系统可以启动 VNF比例转换 (VNF scalling)过程, 增 加或减小 VNF使用的资源。 在完成 VNF 实例比例缩小 /VNF 实例比例增大 (VNF Instance Scalling down/VNF Instance Scalling up)过程后, NFVO更新 VNF 目录、 NFV服务目录以及 VNF实例之后, 由 NFVO向 NFV故障管理装置发 送 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI 资源配置之间的对应关系。 NFV故障管理装置存 储 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI资源配置之间的对应关系,用于 NFV故障管理装 置进行故障消息的匹配处理。
方式 3:在收到 NFV的故障订阅消息后, NFV故障管理装置可以向 NFVO 请求 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI资源配置之间的对应关系。
方式 4: 在收到 NFV的故障订阅消息后, NFV故障管理装置可以向 VNF 实例数据库和 /或 NFVI资源配置数据库请求 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI资源配 置之间的对应关系。
方式 5: VNF可以获取对应的 VM信息,在 NFV的故障订阅消息中, VNF 向 NFV故障管理装置发送 VNF与 VM的对应关系。 在收到 VNF的故障订阅 消息后, NFV故障管理装置可以向 VIM或 Hypervisor请求 VM以及 NFVI资 源配置之间的对应关系。 NFV故障管理装置结合以上信息, 存储 VNF节点标 识以及 VM之间的对应关系, VM以及 NFVI资源配置之间的对应关系, VNF 节点标识以及 NFVI资源配置之间的对应关系, 用于 NFV故障管理装置进行 故障消息的匹配处理。
方式 6:在收到 NFV的故障订阅消息后, NFV故障管理装置可以向 VNFM 请求 VNF与 VM的对应关系,向 VIM或 Hypervisor请求 VM以及 NFVI资源 配置之间的对应关系。 NFV故障管理装置结合以上信息, 存储 VNF节点标识 以及 VM之间的对应关系, VM 以及 NFVI资源配置之间的对应关系, VNF 节点标识以及 NFVI资源配置之间的对应关系, 用于 NFV故障管理装置进行 故障消息的匹配处理。
第一接收单元 22, 用于接收 NFV系统中的至少一个订阅节点发送的请求 订阅所述至少一个 NFVI故障发布节点的故障信息的故障订阅消息。
第一接收单元 22的功能与前述实施例的第一接收单元 11的功能相同,所 不同的是, 在本实施例中, NFV 系统中的任一订阅节点请求订阅的是 NFVI 内部各节点的故障信息, 即本实施例的 NFV故障管理装置 2000是对 NFVI内 部各节点的故障进行管理。 该装置 2000收集 NFVI内部各故障发布节点发布 的故障消息, 为 NFVI上层订阅节点提供 NFVI内部各故障发布节点的故障消 息的订阅和通知功能。 该装置 2000可以独立部署, 也可以部署于 NFVI内部, 也可以处于 VIM中, 本发明实施例不作限制。 除此之外, 该装置 2000也可以 单独为某一 VNF服务,在创建 VNF的同时创建该装置 2000,如果 VNF失效, 则其对应的装置 2000同时失效。
第二接收单元 23,用于接收所述至少一个 NFVI故障发布节点发送的故障 发布消息。
第二接收单元 23的功能与前述实施例的第二接收单元 12的功能相同,所 不同的是, 本实施例中, 第二接收单元 23接收的是 NFVI内部各故障发布节 点发送的故障发布消息。
匹配单元 24 , 用于当接收到所述至少一个 VNF订阅节点的故障订阅消息 以及接收到所述至少一个 NFVI故障发布节点的故障发布消息后,根据所述对 应关系, 将所述至少一个 VNF订阅节点请求订阅的故障信息与所述至少一个 NFVI故障发布节点的故障发布消息进行匹配, 生成故障通知消息。
匹配单元 24的功能与前述实施例的匹配单元 13的功能相同,所不同的是, 不同于其他上层管理节点例如 VNFM、 OSS/BSS、 VIM等已知其与管理的其 它节点的关系,本实施例中, VNF订阅节点订阅了 NFVI内部故障发布节点的 故障消息, 在收到 NFVI内部各故障发布节点发布的故障消息后, 需要根据获 取单元 21获取的 VNF订阅节点的标识与 NFVI故障发布节点的标识之间的对 应关系, 得到 NFVI故障发布节点发布的故障信息应该与哪个 VNF订阅节点 的标识对应。
通知单元 25, 用于将所述故障通知消息通知对应的与所述至少一个订阅 节点的节点标识关联的订阅节点。

其中, 处理器 71读取存储器 72中的计算机程序用以执行以下步骤: 向 NFV故障管理装置发送故障发布消息,以使所述 NFV故障管理装置将 从订阅节点接收到的请求订阅的故障信息与所述故障发布消息进行匹配,生成 故障通知消息, 并将所述故障通知消息通知所述订阅节点。
其中, 所述请求订阅的故障信息和所述故障发布消息包括: 故障发布节点 的分组标识, 故障发布节点的节点标识, 故障类型, 和 /或故障内容, 和 /或故 障优先级。
可见,根据本发明实施例提供的一种 NFV节点设备,通过在 NFV系统中 设置 NFV故障管理装置,统一接收 NFV系统中任一节点的故障订阅消息和故 障发布消息, 并对接收到的故障订阅消息和故障发布消息的参数进行匹配,将 故障通知消息通知相应的节点, 可以实现节点故障信息的实时快速定位和通 知。 请参阅图 12, 为本发明实施例提供的一种 NFV故障管理方法的流程图。 该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤 S101 , 接收 NFV系统中的至少一个订阅节点发送的故障订阅消息, 所述故障订阅消息包括:所述至少一个订阅节点的节点标识和请求订阅的故障 信息。
在 NFV系统中,每个节点都可以向 NFV故障管理装置订阅其它节点的故 障信息, 这些订阅节点可以是 VNF、 EMS、 NFVL VIM, NFVO、 VNFM、 OSS/BSS 等, 每个订阅节点可以订阅一个或多个故障发布节点的故障信息。 订阅节点向 NFV故障管理装置发送故障订阅消息, 该故障订阅消息包括: 订 阅节点的节点标识和请求订阅的故障信息,该订阅节点的节点标识用于唯一标 识一个订阅节点,该请求订阅的故障信息可以包括:故障发布节点的分组标识, 故障发布节点的节点标识, 故障类型, 和 /或故障内容、 和 /或故障优先级, 还 可以包括故障老化时间。订阅节点在进行故障消息订阅的同时, 激活订阅节点 的故障消息接收功能, 以接收 NFV故障管理装置通知的故障信息。
如果节点不需要订阅某种故障信息, 也可以向 NFV故障管理装置发送故 障信息不订阅 "Fault Message Unsubscribe"。 如图 4所示的示例的一个故障信 息订阅、发布和通知流程示意图,订阅节点标识为 ID1的节点 VIM向 NFV故 障管理装置发送故障发布节点分组标识为组 1、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID3、 故障类型为 Al、 故障内容为 A2的 "Fault Message Unsubscribe" 消息, 订阅节点标识为 ID4的节点 NFVO向 NFV故障管理装置发送故障发布节点分 组标识为组 1、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID3、 故障类型为 Bl、 故障内容为 C2的 "Fault Message Unsubscribe" 消息, 进行故障消息去订阅并去激活节点 的故障接收功能。
其中, 故障订阅消息中携带的主要参数信息定义如下:
故障发布节点分组标识 Group :故障发布节点所在的分组, 具体分组规则 本发明实施例不做限定。 例如可以按一个网络服务( Network Service )之下的 所有 VNF作为一个组,订阅节点一般只订阅所在组故障发布节点的故障信息。
NFV中对 Network service的定义是指: 由多个 VNF或多个 VNF和物理网络 功能 (Physical Network Function, PNF)组成, 以提供更复杂的功能。 例如, 由 虚拟或物理的 MME, PGW/SGW, 归属用户服务器 (Home Subscriber Server, HSS)以及它们之间的虚拟链路组成的演进的分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core, EPC)就可以称作一个 Network Service„
故障发布节点的节点标识 Node ID: 故障发布节点的节点标识通常用于标 注与定位故障信息发布者, 也就是它间接地提供了故障位置信息。 故障类型 / 内容 Fault type/Content: 故障具体信息包括故障类型、 故障内容。
故障优先级 Priority: 故障的紧急重要程度标识。
故障老化时间 expiration time : 故障订阅的有效时间。 这个是一个可选的 参数,用法如下: 比如, 3600s表示订阅节点在发送故障订阅消息之后的 3600s 内订阅此故障消息, 3600s之外此故障订阅消息失效; 或者比如, 20: 00-22: 00表示在这个时间段之内订阅节点订阅此故障消息, 此时间段外此故障订阅 消息失效。
接收 NFV系统中任一订阅节点发送的故障订阅消息。
如图 4所示, 订阅节点的节点标识为 ID4的订阅节点 NFVO向 NFV故障 管理装置订阅故障发布节点的分组标识为组 1、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID3、 故障类型为 Al、 故障内容为 A2和故障老化时间为时间 1的故障信息, 以及订阅故障发布节点的分组标识为组 3、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID6、 故障类型为 Bl、故障内容为 C2和故障老化时间为时间 2的故障信息,订阅节 点的节点标识为 ID7的订阅节点 VNFM向 NFV故障管理装置订阅故障发布节 点的分组标识为组 3、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID6、 故障类型为 Bl、 故障 内容为 C2和故障老化时间为时间 3的故障信息, 订阅节点的节点标识为 ID5 的订阅节点 VNF向 NFV故障管理装置订阅故障发布节点的分组标识为组 2、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID2、 故障类型为 Bl、 故障内容为 B2和故障老化 时间为时间 4的故障信息,订阅节点的节点标识为 ID1的订阅节点 VIM向 NFV 故障管理装置订阅故障发布节点的分组标识为组 1、 故障发布节点的节点标识 为 ID3、故障类型为 A1、故障内容为 A2和故障老化时间为时间 5的故障信息。
步骤 S102,接收所述 NFV系统中至少一个故障发布节点发送的故障发布 消息。
在 NFV系统中, 每个节点也可以向 NFV故障管理装置 1000发送故障发 布消息, 接收 NFV系统中任一节点发送的故障发布消息, 该故障发布消息包 括: 故障发布节点的分组标识, 故障发布节点的节点标识, 故障类型, 和 /或 故障内容, 和 /或故障优先级, 各参数的含义与前面描述的参数含义相同, 还 可以包括故障发生时间。
如图 4所示,故障发布节点监视器向 NFV故障管理装置 1000发布故障发 布节点的分组标识为组 3、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID6、 故障类型为 Bl、 故障内容为 C2和故障发生时间为时间 6的故障信息; 某一硬件资源故障发布 节点向 NFV故障管理装置 1000发布故障发布节点的分组标识为组 2、 故障发 布节点的节点标识为 ID2、 故障类型为 Bl、 故障内容为 B2和故障发生时间为 时间 7的故障信息,如图 2中, NFVI中的硬件资源包括:计算硬件 (Computing Hardware), 存储硬件 (Storing Hardware), 网络硬件 (Network Hardware); 故障 发布节点虚拟机 (Virtual Machine, VM)向 NFV故障管理装置 1000发布故障发 布节点的分组标识为组 1、 故障发布节点的节点标识为 ID3、 故障类型为 Al、 故障内容为 A2和故障发生时间为时间 8的故障信息。
需要说明的是, 虽然每个节点都可以向 NFV故障管理装置请求订阅和发 布故障消息,每个节点也可以接收 NFV故障管理装置通知的故障信息,但是, 不是每个节点都需要具备订阅、 发布和接收通知这三个功能, 如 NFV的底层 存储节点, 其只需要发布功能即可, 如 OSS节点, 因为没有必要向其它节点 分发自己的故障信息, 因此 OSS不需要故障信息发布功能。
步骤 S103, 将所述请求订阅的故障信息和所述故障发布消息进行匹配, 生成故障通知消息。
NFV故障管理装置接收到了一个或多个订阅节点的故障订阅消息, 又接 收到了一个或多个故障发布节点的故障发布消息,请求订阅的故障消息和故障 发布消息中包含的参数一致,通过对故障订阅消息和故障发布消息的参数进行 匹配, 生成故障通知消息, 该故障通知消息包括: 订阅节点的节点标识, 故障 发布节点的分组标识, 故障发布节点的节点标识, 故障类型, 和 /或故障内容、 和 /或故障优先级, 还可以包括接收故障发布消息的时间和进行故障信息通知 的时间。
如图 4所示, 故障发布消息中包含所请求订阅的故障类型为 B1和故障内 容为 C2、 故障类型为 Bl和故障内容为 B2、 故障类型为 A1和故障内容为 A2 的故障信息。
步骤 S104, 将所述故障通知消息通知对应的与所述至少一个订阅节点的 节点标识关联的订阅节点。
进行请求订阅的故障信息和故障发布消息的参数匹配后,得到一个或多个 故障通知消息, 将该一个或多个故障通知消息分别通知给相应的订阅节点。
如图 4所示, 将故障类型为 A1和故障内容为 A2的故障信息分别通知订 阅节点 VIM和 NFVO, 将故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 B2的故障信息通知订 阅节点 VNF, 将故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 C2的故障信息分别通知订阅节 点 VNFM和 NFVOo
如图 4 所示, 故障发布消息中还包含故障优先级, 例如, 故障发布节点 VNFM发布的故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 C2的故障信息的故障优先级为 3, 硬件资源故障发布节点发布的故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 B2的故障信息的 故障优先级为 2, 故障发布节点虚拟机 (Virtual Machine, VM)发布的故障类型 为 A1和故障内容为 A2的故障信息的故障优先级为 1 , 在此默认优先级从高 到低的顺序为 1、 2、 3。
可以根据故障发布消息中的故障优先级,按照故障优先级从高到低的顺序 依次通知订阅节点, 如图 4所示, 先将故障优先级为 1的故障类型为 A1和故 障内容为 A2的故障通知消息通知订阅 VIM和 NFVO,然后将故障优先级为 2 的故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 B2的故障通知消息通知订阅节点 VNF, 同时 将故障优先级为 2的故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 C2的故障通知消息通知订 阅节点 VNFM, 最后将故障优先级为 3的故障类型为 B1和故障内容为 C2的 故障通知消息通知订阅节点 NFVO。 一般来说,越底层的节点的故障越是重要 紧急, 对时延性要求越高。
如果两个或两个以上订阅节点请求订阅相同故障类型和故障内容的故障 信息,还可以将相同故障类型和故障内容的故障通知消息同时通知两个或两个 以上订阅节点。
订阅节点在接收到故障通知消息后, 启动故障处理机制。
可见,根据本发明实施例提供的一种 NFV故障管理方法,通过在 NFV系 统中设置 NFV故障管理装置,统一接收 NFV系统中任一节点的故障订阅消息 和故障发布消息, 并对接收到的故障订阅消息和故障发布消息的参数进行匹 配,将故障通知消息通知相应的节点, 可以实现节点故障信息的实时快速定位 和通知。 请参阅图 13,为本发明实施例提供的另一种 NFV故障管理方法的流程图。 该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤 S201 , 从网络功能虚拟化编排器 NFVO获取至少一个虚拟网络功能
VNF节点的标识与至少一个网络功能虚拟化基础设施 NFVI节点的标识之间 的对应关系。
现有 NFV系统中 VNF节点并不知道其对应的 NFVI资源配置情况,所以 需要 NFV故障管理装置存储 VNF信息及其对应的 NFVI资源配置信息, 即 VNF节点的标识与 NFVI节点的标识之间的对应关系, 即系统给一个 VNF节 点配置了多少 NFVI节点资源。
有四种方式, 可以获取到 VNF节点的标识与 NFVI节点的标识之间的对 应关系:
方式 1: 在实例化 VNF、 NFVO更新 VNF目录 (VNF catalog), NFV服务 目录 (NFV Service Catalog)以及 VNF实例 (VNF Instances)完成之后, 由 NFVO 向 NFV故障管理装置发送 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI资源配置对应关系。 NFV 故障管理装置存储 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI 资源配置对应关系,用于 NFV故 障管理装置进行故障消息的匹配处理。
方式 2: 在 VNF的负载增加或者 VNF的负载逐渐减少的情况下, 为了保 证资源的有效利用, NFV系统可以启动 VNF比例转换 (VNF scalling)过程, 增 加或减小 VNF使用的资源。 在完成 VNF 实例比例缩小 /VNF 实例比例增大 (VNF Instance Scalling down/VNF Instance Scalling up)过程后, NFVO更新 VNF 目录、 NFV服务目录以及 VNF实例之后, 由 NFVO向 NFV故障管理装置发 送 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI 资源配置之间的对应关系。 NFV故障管理装置存 储 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI资源配置之间的对应关系,用于 NFV故障管理装 置进行故障消息的匹配处理。
方式 3:在收到 NFV的故障订阅消息后, NFV故障管理装置可以向 NFVO 请求 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI资源配置之间的对应关系。
方式 4: 在收到 NFV的故障订阅消息后, NFV故障管理装置可以向 VNF 实例数据库和 /或 NFVI资源配置数据库请求 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI资源配 置之间的对应关系。
方式 5: VNF可以获取对应的 VM信息,在 NFV的故障订阅消息中, VNF 向 NFV故障管理装置发送 VNF与 VM的对应关系。 在收到 VNF的故障订阅 消息后, NFV故障管理装置可以向 VIM或 Hypervisor请求 VM以及 NFVI资 源配置之间的对应关系。 NFV故障管理装置结合以上信息, 存储 VNF节点标 识以及 VM之间的对应关系, VM以及 NFVI资源配置之间的对应关系, 存储 VNF节点标识以及 NFVI资源配置之间的对应关系, 用于 NFV故障管理装置 进行故障消息的匹配处理。
方式 6:在收到 NFV的故障订阅消息后, NFV故障管理装置可以向 VNFM 请求 VNF与 VM的对应关系,向 VIM或 Hypervisor请求 VM以及 NFVI资源 配置之间的对应关系。 NFV故障管理装置结合以上信息, 存储 VNF节点标识 以及 VM之间的对应关系, VM 以及 NFVI资源配置之间的对应关系, VNF 节点标识以及 NFVI资源配置之间的对应关系, 用于 NFV故障管理装置进行 故障消息的匹配处理。
步骤 S202,接收所述 NFV系统中的至少一个订阅节点发送的请求订阅所 述至少一个 NFVI故障发布节点的故障信息的故障订阅消息。
步骤 S202与前述实施例的步骤 S101相同, 所不同的是, 在本实施例中, NFV系统中的任一订阅节点请求订阅的是 NFVI内部各节点的故障信息,即本 实施例的 NFV故障管理装置是对 NFVI 内部各节点的故障进行管理。 收集 NFVI内部各故障发布节点的故障消息, 为 NFVI上层订阅节点提供 NFVI内 部各故障发布节点的故障消息的订阅和通知功能。
步骤 S203, 接收 NFV系统中至少一个 NFVI故障发布节点发送的故障发 布消息。
步骤 S203与前述实施例的步骤 S102相同, 所不同的是, 本实施例中,接 步骤 S204 , 当接收到所述至少一个 VNF订阅节点的故障订阅消息以及接 收到所述至少一个 NFVI故障发布节点的故障发布消息后,根据所述对应关系, 将所述至少一个 VNF订阅节点的请求订阅的故障信息和所述至少一个 NFVI 故障发布节点的故障发布消息进行匹配, 生成故障通知消息。
步骤 S204与前述实施例的步骤 S103相同,所不同的是,不同于其他上层 管理节点例如 VNFM、 OSS/BSS、 VIM等已知其与管理的其它节点的关系, 本实施例中, VNF订阅节点订阅了 NFVI内部故障发布节点的故障消息,在收 到 NFVI内部各故障发布节点发布的故障消息后, 需要根据获取的 VNF订阅 节点的标识与 NFVI故障发布节点的标识之间的对应关系, 得到 NFVI故障发 布节点发布的故障信息应该与哪个 VNF订阅节点的标识对应。
步骤 S205, 将所述故障通知消息通知对应的与所述至少一个订阅节点的 节点标识关联的订阅节点。
步骤 S205与前述实施例的步骤 S104相同, 在此不再赘述。

对于每一个故障订阅消息和故障发布消息,如果匹配成功, 则关联存储故 障订阅消息、 故障发布消息和故障通知消息; 如果没有匹配成功, 则仍然关联 存储故障订阅消息、 故障发布消息, 以方便 NFV系统后续的查询、 调用等。 可见,根据本发明实施例提供的一种 NFV故障管理方法,通过在 NFV系 统中设置 NFV故障管理装置,统一接收 NFV系统中任一节点的故障订阅消息 和故障发布消息, 并对接收到的故障订阅消息和故障发布消息的参数进行匹 配,将故障通知消息通知相应的节点, 可以实现节点故障信息的实时快速定位 和通知。 请参阅图 14,为本发明实施例提供的又一种 NFV故障管理方法的流程图。 该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤 S301 , 向 NFV故障管理装置发送携带节点标识和请求订阅的故障信 息的故障订阅消息, 以使所述 NFV故障管理装置将所述请求订阅的故障信息 和与所述故障订阅消息对应的故障发布节点发送的故障发布消息进行匹配,生 成故障通知消息。
订阅节点向 NFV故障管理装置发送携带节点标识和请求订阅的故障信息 的故障订阅消息, 该订阅节点可以是 NFV系统中的任一节点。 请求订阅的故 障信息和故障发布消息可以包括: 故障发布节点的分组标识,故障发布节点的 节点标识, 故障类型, 和 /或故障内容, 和 /或故障优先级。 发送故障订阅消息 的具体格式可以参照前述实施例, 在此不再赞述。
步骤 S302,接收所述 NFV故障管理装置根据所述节点标识发送的所述故 障通知消息。
接收 NFV故障管理装置发送的故障通知消息, 该故障通知消息包括: 订 阅节点的节点标识, 故障发布节点的分组标识, 故障发布节点的节点标识, 故 障类型, 和 /或故障内容、 和 /或故障优先级, 还可以包括接收故障发布消息的 时间和进行故障信息通知的时间。 NFV故障管理装置根据节点标识发送给与 节点标识对应的 NFV订阅节点。
作为一种实施方式, 步骤 S301可以具体为:
向 NFV故障管理装置发送携带 VNF节点的节点标识、请求订阅至少一个 网络功能虚拟化基础设施 NFVI故障发布节点的故障信息的故障订阅消息, 以 使所述 NFV故障管理装置根据所述 VNF 节点的节点标识与所述至少一个 NFVI节点的节点标识之间的对应关系, 将所述请求订阅的至少一个 NFVI节 点的故障信息和所述至少一个 NFVI节点发送的故障发布消息进行匹配,生成 所述故障通知消息。
该实施方式为 VNF订阅节点订阅 NFVI节点的故障发布消息。 现有 NFV 系统中 VNF节点并不知道其对应的 NFVI资源配置情况,所以需要 NFV故障 管理装置存储 VNF信息及其对应的 NFVI资源配置信息, 即 VNF节点的标识 与 NFVI节点的标识之间的对应关系。其后 VNF发送故障订阅消息和接收 NFV 故障管理装置发送的故障通知消息与前述实施例相同, 在此不再赘述。
NFV故障管理装置收集 NFVI 内部各故障发布节点发布的故障消息, 为 NFVI上层订阅节点提供 NFVI内部各故障发布节点的故障消息的订阅和通知 功能。 NFV故障管理装置可以独立部署, 也可以部署于 NFVI内部, 也可以处 于 VIM中, 本发明实施例不作限制。 除此之外, NFV故障管理装置也可以单 独为某一 VNF服务,在创建 VNF的同时创建该 NFV故障管理装置,如果 VNF 失效, 则其对应的 NFV故障管理装置同时失效。
可见,根据本发明实施例提供的一种 NFV故障管理方法,通过在 NFV系 统中设置 NFV故障管理装置,统一接收 NFV系统中任一节点的故障订阅消息 和故障发布消息, 并对接收到的故障订阅消息和故障发布消息的参数进行匹 配,将故障通知消息通知相应的节点, 可以实现节点故障信息的实时快速定位 和通知。 本发明实施例还提供一种 NFV故障管理方法, 该方法包括步骤: 向 NFV故障管理装置发送故障发布消息,以使所述 NFV故障管理装置将 从订阅节点接收到的请求订阅的故障信息与所述故障发布消息进行匹配,生成 故障通知消息, 并将所述故障通知消息通知所述订阅节点。
其中, 所述请求订阅的故障信息和所述故障发布消息包括: 故障发布节点 的分组标识, 故障发布节点的节点标识, 故障类型, 和 /或故障内容, 和 /或故 障优先级。
故障发布节点向 NFV故障管理装置发送故障发布消息, 该故障发布节点 发送的故障发布消息包括: 故障发布节点的分组标识,故障发布节点的节点标 识, 故障类型, 和 /或故障内容, 和 /或故障优先级, 请求订阅的故障信息包含 的参数与故障发布消息一致。 故障发布节点向 NFV故障管理装置发送故障发 布消息的格式可参照前述实施例, 在此不再赘述。
可见,根据本发明实施例提供的一种 NFV故障管理方法,通过在 NFV系 统中设置 NFV故障管理装置,统一接收 NFV系统中任一节点的故障订阅消息 和故障发布消息, 并对接收到的故障订阅消息和故障发布消息的参数进行匹 配,将故障通知消息通知相应的节点, 可以实现节点故障信息的实时快速定位 和通知。
