Description

NFV系统license的管理方法、装置和计算机可读存储介质
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请基于申请号为201810104627.X、申请日为2018年02月01日的中国专利申请提出，并要求该中国专利申请的优先权，该中国专利申请的全部内容在此引入本申请作为参考。
技术领域
本公开涉及移动通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种网络功能虚拟化(NFV)系统许可证(license)的管理方法、装置和计算机可读存储介质。
背景技术
NFV系统中，网络功能虚拟化管理器(Network Functions Virtualisation Manager，VNFM)可通过资源监控，基于虚拟机资源利用率(如CPU利用率)对虚拟网络功能(VNF)实例进行扩容(英文可以表达为scale out或者scale up)缩容(英文可以表达为scale in或者scale down)。
VNFM基于策略实现对VNF实例的自动扩缩容。扩缩容后，VNF实例对应的虚拟机资源将发生变化，但是业务层license并没有变化。如果需要调整license，则需再次登陆网元(VNF实例)或者通过单元管理系统(EMS)进行license管理和配置。
相关技术中，网元扩缩容仅仅是在资源层面实现，网络在所能提供的能力方面进行了变化，但是实际影响网元是否能承载业务的往往受到License的控制。因此，仅仅实现资源扩缩容，还无法做到网元实际承载能力的自动调整。

在示例性实施例中，本公开实施例还提供了一种计算机可读存储介质，所述计算机可读存储介质可以是FRAM、ROM、PROM、EPROM、EEPROM、Flash Memory、磁表面存储器、光盘、或CD-ROM等存储器；也可以是包括上述存储器之一或任意组合的各种设备，如移动电话、计算机、平板设备、个人数字助理等。
本公开实施例还提供了一种计算机可读存储介质，其上存储有计算机程序，该计算机程序被处理器执行时，执行：
对虚拟网络功能VNF实例扩缩容后，设置配置消息；所述配置消息中包括所述VNF实例对应的license信息；

本公开实施例还提供了一种计算机可读存储介质，其上存储有计算机程序，该计算机程序被处理器执行时，执行：
接收配置消息；所述配置消息中包括所述VNF实例对应的license信息；
响应所述配置消息。
其中，所述license信息包括但不限于如下参数：
License的类型；
License变化的类型和变化的数量、或License变化的结果。
下面结合场景实施例对本公开进行描述。
图6为本公开实施例所述扩缩容的方法流程示意图(其中省略了与本方法实施例无关的部分步骤)，如图6所示，包括：
步骤601：VNFM收集指标信息；
步骤602：VNFM触发自动扩缩容操作；
步骤603：VNFM向操作员或外部系统进行资源授权；
步骤604：VNFM向VIM增加或删除虚拟机；
步骤605：VNFM向VNF实例发送配置消息；
这里，所述配置消息中携带license信息。
步骤606：VNFM向操作员或外部系统发送扩缩容完成通知；
步骤607：VNFM向操作员或外部系统发送资源变化通知。
其中，在步骤604扩缩容完成(添加或删除虚拟机)后，将由VNFM对VNF实例进行部署配置(步骤605)，相关技术中该部署配置并未涉及到License，本公开实施例在预先定义的动态扩缩容策略中，增加VNF实例的license信息，在VNF实例资源变化的同时，使其license也进行相应变化，使得VNF实例的license达到最好的利用率，与虚拟机资源进行匹配。
相关标准中，配置消息中包含如下表1中的内容(与本公开实施例无关的内容省略)：
Table 6.2.3.2-1:SetConfiguration operation input parameters
Figure PCTCN2019071028-appb-000001
表1
本公开实施例在上述set configuration消息(配置消息)中增加的 vnfLicenseData信息(license信息)如下表2所示：
Figure PCTCN2019071028-appb-000002
表2
其中，所述vnfLicenseData的参量可如表3所示：
Figure PCTCN2019071028-appb-000003
表3
其中，所述changeTpye与changeNumber一同出现，共同描述license的变化情况，这两个参数与所述changeTo不会同时出现，即：changeTpye和changeNumber两者与changeTo之间为“或”的关系。
本公开实施例中VNFM在完成VNF实例扩缩容后，对相应VNF实例的License进行配置，使得所述License可以随着VNF实例资源的变化相应进行调整，从而实现网元(VNF实例)实际承载能力的自动调整，相对相关技术来说不需单独进行license的管理，提高了license的管理效率。
以上所述，仅为本公开的较佳实施例而已，并非用于限定本公开的保护范围。
