  • receiving, with an orchestration agent running on a host computing system, one or more first operations, administration, and management (“

    OAM”

    ) frames and one or more first state information from one or more hardware components;

    sending, with the orchestration agent, the one or more first state information to one or more virtualized applications running on one or more virtual machines (“

    VMs”

    ) that are running on the host computing system;

    determining, with a VM management agent of one or more VM management agents, whether at least one first OAM frame of the one or more first OAM frames has changed in response to a change in address of at least one of far-end or near-end OAM server functions associated with a VM of the one or more VMs; and

    updating, with the VM management agent, a list associating the at least one first OAM frame that has changed with corresponding at least one VM of the one or more VMs, without restarting any of the at least one VM, the VM management agent, the one or more VM management agents, or the host computing system, based on a determination that at least one first OAM frame of the one or more first OAM frames has changed; and

    sending, with the orchestration agent, based on the updating, the one or more first OAM frames to one or more VM management agents that are running on the host computing system and that are separate from the one or more VMs, the one or more VM management agents being dedicated OAM management agents.
