Abstract
Embodiments provide a software modification initiation method. The method can include receiving, by a VNFM, a VNF LCM request sent by an NFVO. The VNF LCM request may include an instance identifier of a VNF instance of to-be-modified first-version VNF software. The method can include determining, by the VNFM, that a type of the VNF LCM request indicates a software modification operation, and obtaining metadata according to the VNF LCM request. The metadata may include a version identifier of the first-version VNF software and a software modification type. The method can include determining, by the VNFM, a first VNF instance of the first-version VNF software based on the instance identifier of the VNF instance of the to-be-modified first-version VNF software. The method can also include initiating, by the VNFM, a software modification operation for the first VNF instance of the first-version VNF software based on the software modification type.
