Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A communications apparatus, comprising:
a receiver configured to obtain a virtual network function descriptor (VNFD), wherein the VNFD comprises input parameter information, input adaptation information, and virtual network function (VNF) descriptor information, and wherein the input parameter information comprises N pieces of management unit information and each piece of management unit information is used to describe an attribute of the management unit, and wherein the attribute of the management unit comprises a type and a name of the management unit, and wherein the input adaptation information is used to indicate a mapping relationship between the management unit and a logical management unit, and wherein and the VNF descriptor information is used to indicate to deploy a VNF on the N logical management units and N is an integer greater than or equal to 2,
wherein the receiver is further configured to obtain N management unit identifiers, and wherein a capacity of a management unit corresponding to a management unit identifier is the same as a capacity of a fault domain corresponding to the management unit; and
a processor configured to map management units corresponding to the N management unit identifiers to the N logical management units based on the input adaptation information,
wherein the processor is further configured to create the VNF on the N logical management units based on the VNF descriptor information.
