+Annex: NFVI Faults
+=================================================
+
+Faults in the listed elements need to be immediately notified to the Consumer in
+order to perform an immediate action like live migration or switch to a hot
+standby entity. In addition, the Administrator of the host should trigger a
+maintenance action to, e.g., reboot the server or replace a defective hardware
+element.
+
+Faults can be of different severity, i.e., critical, warning, or
+info. Critical faults require immediate action as a severe degradation of the
+system has happened or is expected. Warnings indicate that the system
+performance is going down: related actions include closer (e.g. more frequent)
+monitoring of that part of the system or preparation for a cold migration to a
+backup VM. Info messages do not require any action. We also consider a type
+"maintenance", which is no real fault, but may trigger maintenance actions
+like a re-boot of the server or replacement of a faulty, but redundant HW.
+
+Faults can be gathered by, e.g., enabling SNMP and installing some open source
+tools to catch and poll SNMP. When using for example Zabbix one can also put an
+agent running on the hosts to catch any other fault. In any case of failure, the
+Administrator should be notified. The following table provides a list of high
+level faults that are considered within the scope of the Doctor project
+requiring immediate action by the Consumer.
