-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.
