Abstract: An example operation may include a system, comprising one or more of: receiving a heartbeat message from a peer VNFCI indicating a current operational state of active, when the VNFCI is in active state, determining a first network isolation indicator, by a network isolation subsystem, by checking if the VNFCI was network isolated while becoming active, sending a first heartbeat message to the peer VNFCI indicating a current operational state as active and network isolation boolean since active, obtaining a second network isolation indicator of the peer VNFCI from a heartbeat message datastore, sending a second heartbeat message to the peer VNFCI indicating the current operational state as active and a desired operational state as active when at least one of: the second network isolation indicator was yes, and the first network isolation indicator was no, and sending a third heartbeat message to the peer VNFCI indicating the current operational state as active and a desired operational state as active when at least one of: the VNFCI is not the preferred standby instance, the second network isolation indicator was no, and the first network isolation indicator was no.

Abstract: An example operation may include a system, comprising one or more of receiving a heartbeat message from a peer virtualization network function component interface (VFCNI) indicating a current operational state of active when a VNFCI is in an active state, sending a first heartbeat message to the peer VNFCI indicating a current operational state as active, sending a next state request with an active state and split-brain condition to a virtual network function manager (VNFM), starting a response timer, sending a second heartbeat message to the peer VNFCI indicating the current operational state as active and a desired operational state as active when one or more of: the VNFCI is not a preferred standby instance, the response timer expires, stopping the response timer when a next state response message is received, sending a third heartbeat message to the peer VNFCI indicating the current operational state as active and a desired operational state as active when and an active state is contained in the next state response message, and transitioning a state of the VNFCI to a deactivating state when one or more of: the VCNFI is the preferred standby instance, and a standby state is contained in the next state response message.

Abstract: An example operation may include a method comprising one or more of receiving a VNFC module status request from a NFVO where the status request specifies a VNFC instance (VNFCI), determining a target OS installation of the VNFCI, retrieving a list of one or more VNFC modules of the VNFCI, determining the status of the one or more VNFC modules wherein the status determination includes at least one or more of constructing a default status command, adapting the command to the target OS, executing the adapted status command, and recording a normalized status result, sending a VNFC module status notification.

Abstract: An example operation may include a method comprising one or more of receiving a heartbeat failure notification message when a VNFCI is in standby state, building, at a VNFCI, a next state request message with standby and heartbeat failure parameters, sending the next state request message to an EMS, retrieving, at the EMS, a peer VNFCI state when the next state request message is received, sending a next state response message to the VNFCI with active state when one or more of: a peer VNFCI admin state is not online, and when a peer VNFCI is not reachable when the peer VNFCI admin state is online, sending a next state response message with standby state when the peer operational state is active, and sending the next state response message with standby to the VNFCI when the request of current issues on resources associated with the VNFCI from the VNFM is received and there are critical issues at the EMS.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of constructing a VNF package that includes one or more VDUs composed of one or more VNFCDs, generating a VNF package archive, receiving the VNF package archive containing the VNF package at an NFV MANO module, validating the VNF package archive, onboarding one or more traditional VNF package components including a file of a VNFD and at least one software artifact, onboarding one or more VNFC components associated with the one or more VDUs in the VNF package, and enabling the VNFD in a VNF Catalog.
