REQ-NFV_FM-CON-1
The faulty virtualization-specific aspect of a virtualized network function shall be able to be recovered.
REQ-NFV_FM-CON-2
3GPP management system shall be able to get VNF application fault reports about a faulty NE.

3GPP management system shall be able to get VNF virtualization-related fault reports from NFV-MANO.
REQ-NFV_FM-CON-4
The content of the fault information from VNF application fault reports and VNF virtualization-related fault reports shall enable 3GPP management system to correlate VNF application fault(s) with VNF virtualization-related fault(s).
REQ-NFV_FM-CON-5

5.4.1  NE alarm correlation in the context of NFVp. 7

Use Case Stage Evolution/Specification <<Uses>> Related use
GoalTo correlate NE alarms in a mobile network that includes virtualized network functions.
Actors and Roles3GPP management system (EM, NM) correlates NE alarms.
NFV MANO functional entity VNFM notifies virtualized resource alarms to 3GPP management system.
Telecom resourcesVNFM, 3GPP management system (EM, NM)
Assumptions - 3GPP management system can get VNF application alarms of the faulty NE, and
- VNFM can get virtualized resource alarms and identify the corresponding VNF instance.
Pre conditionsN/A
Begins whenThere is a new failure which may impact the virtualized resource and the corresponding NE application
Step 1 (M)3GPP management system gets VNF application alarm(s) of a faulty NE. VNFM gets virtualized resource alarm(s) and notifies the corresponding VNF instance related virtualized resource alarm(s) to 3GPP management system.
Step 2 (M)Based on the virtualized resource alarm(s) sent from VNFM and those VNF application alarms reported from NE, 3GPP management system makes alarm correlation.
Ends whenEnds when all mandatory steps identified above are successfully completed or when an exception occurs.
ExceptionsOne of the steps identified above fails.
Post ConditionsThe virtualized resource alarm(s) and VNF application alarm(s) are correlated by 3GPP management system.

5.4.2  NFVI Maintenance coordinationp. 7

Use Case Stage Evolution/Specification <<Uses>> Related use
GoalTo avoid the unwanted impact to VNF application from NFVI maintenance
Actors and RolesNM, NFVO, VNFM, VIM
Telecom resourcesNFVO, VNFM VIM, NFVI
AssumptionsThere is an agreement that NFV-MANO system should get permission from NM before scheduled NFVI maintenance, managed by NFV-MANO, can start.
Pre conditionsN/A
Begins when NFVO receives a notification from VIM informing about NFVI maintenance impacting the VRs (Virtualised Resources) that are used by a NS instance (e.g. the subordinative VNF instances and Virtual Links).
Step 1 (M)NFVO informs NM about the NFVI maintenance.
Step 2 (M)NM confirms the NFVI maintenance positively or not positively.
Step 3 (M)NFVO acts according to the response from NM.
Ends whenEnds when all mandatory steps identified above are successfully completed or when an exception occurs.
ExceptionsOne of the steps identified above fails.
Post ConditionsNFVI maintenance activity has been coordinated between NM and NFVO.
