Description

NFV configuration management method, system, server and storage medium based on CMDB

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a method, a system, a server and a storage medium for NFV configuration management based on CMDB.

Background

NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) refers to implementing various Network device Functions on standardized general IT devices (x86 servers, storage and switching devices) by using Virtualization technology. After the NFV is adopted, on one hand, the functions of the network equipment do not depend on special hardware, the IT equipment based on the x86 standard has low cost, and the equipment investment cost can be expected to be saved for operators; on the other hand, through software and hardware decoupling and function abstraction, resources can be fully and flexibly shared, rapid development and deployment of new services are achieved, and automatic deployment, elastic expansion, fault isolation, self-healing and the like are carried out based on actual service requirements. For example, network services such as NAT, firewall, intrusion detection, dns (domain Name service), and cache can be delivered in the form of software and deployed on a general hardware platform, which can provide great flexibility and flexibility for design, deployment, and management of network services.

The entire NFV architecture can be divided into several parts: the NFVI (NFV Infrastructure) includes physical resources, a virtualization layer and virtual resources thereon, where the physical resources include three hardware resources of computation, storage and network, and are devices that undertake tasks of computation, storage and intercommunication between internal and external interconnects. Virtual network element and network management: including VNF and EM. A VNF (virtualized Network Function) is a Network element after software is implemented, and is deployed on a virtual machine, and the Function of the VNF is consistent with that of an interface and non-virtualization. The EM (Element Management) mainly performs a conventional Element Management function and a new Management function in a virtualization environment. MANOs (NFV Management and organization, NFV Management and Orchestrator) include orchelstrators, VNFM and VIM. The NFV editor (network function virtualization Orchestrator) is responsible for the overall management of network traffic, VNF and resources, and is the control core of the entire NFV architecture. The VNFM (VNFManager, virtualized network function manager) is mainly responsible for related management of resources and life cycles of the VNF, such as functions of instantiating, expanding, and contracting network elements. The main function of VIM (virtualization Infrastructure Management ) is to manage and monitor the resources of the entire Infrastructure layer, including hardware resources and virtual resources. Besides, the system also comprises an OSS/BSS network element which supports the traditional network management function and also supports the interaction with an Orchester in a virtualization environment to complete the maintenance and management functions. In the NFV network, the generation, configuration management, monitoring, termination, etc. of the virtual network element will be substantially fully automated, and the automatic creation of the virtual network element needs to be completed depending on the information interaction between the NFVO, VNFM, and VIM and the invocation of API.

Currently, there is no centralized configuration management scheme in NFV, and the configuration management is collected and used by VIM and VNFM of MANO (NFV management orchestration) respectively. In addition, the VIM and the VNFM synchronize part of the configuration information to the NFVO for unified management. The existing configuration management scheme is chimney type management, namely NFV configuration information is managed by each module of MANO and is not fused with the current IT operation and maintenance system.

However, the existing configuration management method has the following disadvantages: each module of the MANO needs to develop, maintain, configure, collect and manage functions, resulting in repeated development and maintenance; each module of the MANO dispersedly manages the configuration information without a uniform configuration management library, which is not beneficial to the communication of the configuration information among the modules; the existing IT and cloud platform operation and maintenance management system has a set of mature CMDB-based automatic operation and maintenance means, NFV independent management configuration information is not beneficial to being fused with the existing network operation and maintenance management system, and smooth evolution of the operation and maintenance management means is influenced.

Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

In the present invention, NFV, Network Function Virtualization, i.e., Network Function Virtualization. CMDB, Configuration Management Database. NFVI, NFV Infrastructure. The VNF, virtualsize Network Function, that is, a virtualized Network Function, specifically, a Network element after software is deployed on a virtual machine. MANO, NFV Management and organization, NFV Management and Orchestrator, which includes the orchelator, VNFM and VIM.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a CMDB, as shown in fig. 1, the CMDB is a configuration management database, and is used for storing and managing various configuration information of devices in an enterprise IT architecture, so as to be used by various service flow systems in an IT integrated operation and maintenance system.

It should be noted that the entire NFV architecture can be divided into several parts: the NFVI (NFV Infrastructure) includes physical resources, a virtualization layer and virtual resources thereon, where the physical resources include three hardware resources of computation, storage and network, and are devices that undertake tasks of computation, storage and intercommunication between internal and external interconnects. Virtual network element and network management: including VNF and EM. A VNF (virtualized Network Function) is a Network element after software is implemented, and is deployed on a virtual machine, and the Function of the VNF is consistent with that of an interface and non-virtualization. The EM (Element Management) mainly performs a conventional Element Management function and a new Management function in a virtualization environment. MANOs (NFV Management and organization, NFV Management and Orchestrator) include orchelstrators, VNFM and VIM. The NFV editor (network function virtualization Orchestrator) is responsible for the overall management of network traffic, VNF and resources, and is the control core of the entire NFV architecture. The VNFM (VNFManager, virtualized network function manager) is mainly responsible for related management of resources and life cycles of the VNF, such as functions of instantiating, expanding, and contracting network elements. The main function of VIM (virtualization Infrastructure Management ) is to manage and monitor the resources of the entire Infrastructure layer, including hardware resources and virtual resources. Besides, the system also comprises an OSS/BSS network element which supports the traditional network management function and also supports the interaction with an Orchester in a virtualization environment to complete the maintenance and management functions. In the NFV network, the generation, configuration management, monitoring, termination, etc. of the virtual network element will be substantially fully automated, and the automatic creation of the virtual network element needs to be completed depending on the information interaction between the NFVO, VNFM, and VIM and the invocation of API.

The automatic creation, monitoring and scaling of the virtual machine support two modes: direct mode and indirect mode. The direct mode performs resource allocation for VM establishment by the VNFM connecting directly to the VIM, which requires direct connection establishment with the VIM. The indirect mode is used for resource allocation of VM establishment by connecting the NFVO and the VIM, and the VNFM does not need to have direct connection establishment with the VIM. In the direct mode, resources of the VIM are called by the VNFM, and for the NFVO, the calling of the resources is obtained through the VNFM, and original information of the calling of the resources cannot be obtained. The indirect mode is that the NFVO calls the resource of the VIM, and the NFVO can directly obtain the call information of the resource and globally control the allocation of the resource, and the indirect mode is more suitable for the requirement of deployment for the NFV of the operator network. When the indirect mode is adopted, since the NFVO is deployed at a higher position than the VNFM, a network failure between the NFVO and the VIM or an interface call failure may occur. If the connection between the NFVO and the VIM is abnormal or the called VIM-related API interface fails, the resource allocation for establishing the VM fails, and the VM cannot be created successfully.
