Abstract: An example operation may include a system, comprising one or more of receiving a virtual network function component instance (VNFCI) status notification resumption message with an active state when a peer VNFCI operational state is active, retrieving a timestamp of a VNFCI state change to an active state from an element VNFCI state database, retrieving a timestamp of a peer VNFCI state change to active from an element VNFCI state database, sending one or more of: a request to a virtual network function manager (VNFM) to determine if the VNFCI network is isolating while an operating state was active, and a request to the VNFM to determine if the peer VNFCI network is isolating while an operating state was active, sending a state change request with standby state to the peer VNFCI when the VNFCI is not network isolated and the peer VNFCI is network isolated, and a VNFM response is received regarding the VNFCI, a timeout response from the VNFM, and a VNFM response is received regarding the peer VNFCI, and sending a state change request with standby to the VNFCI with one or more of: the VNFCI network isolate and peer VNFCI is not network isolated, and the VNFCI is network isolated or the peer VNFCI is not network isolated, and the VNFCI is not network isolated and the peer VNFCI is network isolated and the VNFCI is in preferred standby.

Abstract: An example operation may include a system, comprising one or more of receiving, at a VNFCI, a status failure notification message, retrieving one or more of: a peer VNFCI administration state, and the peer VNFCI operational state, requesting current issues reported on resources associated with the peer VNFCI from a VNFM when the peer VNFCI administration state is online, and the peer VNFCI is reachable, and the peer VNFCI operational state is not active, taking no action, at the VNFCI, when one or more of: the peer VNFCI administration state is not online, and the peer VNFCI is not reachable, and the peer VNFCI operational state is active, and sending a state change request with active state to the peer VNFCI when a response to the current issues reported on resources is received, and there are no critical issues at the VNFCI.

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 includes one or more of receiving a VNFC LCM request including a VNFC instance (VNFCI) and an LCM operation to be performed, retrieving one or more VNFCI datum, determining a target OS installation of the VNFCI, establishing a connection to the target OS installation, checking for the presence of a VNFC specific LCM script for the LCM operation to be performed, constructing a VNFC specific LCM command that calls the VNFC specific LCM script and which specifies the VNFCI, executing the VNFC specific LCM command, normalizing a response code, and sending a response to the VNFC LCM request.

Abstract: An example operation may include a method, comprising one or more of: receiving a stop request from a VNFM, retrieving a last peer operational state from a heartbeat history datastore, staying in active state when the last peer operational state is not standby, sending a remaining check points message to a peer VNFCI when the last peer operational state is standby, sending a first heartbeat message to the peer VNFCI with an operational state of active and a desired operational state of shutdown, receiving, at the peer VNFCI, the first heartbeat message; sending a second heartbeat message to the VNFCI, determining an operational state of the VNFCI when the second heartbeat message is received from the peer VNFCI, staying in active state when the operational state in the second heartbeat message is activating, transitioning the VNFCI to a deactivating state, stopping accepting service traffic at the VNFCI, and transitioning to shutdown state at the VNFCI.
