Labeling objects for maintenance

Before you create a maintenance intent, you must apply an identifying label to each of the objects intended to be the target of the intent.

To label a node for inclusion in a maintenance intent:

  1. View a node that you intend to be a target of the maintenance operation and open the label assignment dialog using any of the following methods:
    • Open the Inventory as described in Viewing the overall inventory and select the row showing the target node. Then click the More actions icon () icon at the right edge of the list and select Edit Labels from the resulting menu.
    • Open a fabric intent in the Design and Emulation view and expand the cluster containing the target node. Right-click the node icon and select Edit Labels from the resulting menu.
    • Open a fabric intent in the Inventory view, and select the row showing the target node. Then click the More actions icon ( ) at the right edge of the list and select Edit Labels from the resulting menu.
  2. In the Label Picker dialog, find the maintenance label you created earlier and click the icon at the left edge of the row.
    The system adds the label to the panel at the top of the Label Picker dialog.

    If other labels were previously applied to the current node, those labels also appear at the top of the Label Picker dialog.

  3. Click SAVE. The maintenance label is now associated with the node.
  4. If your maintenance intent affects multiple nodes, repeat steps 1 through 3 for each of the remaining target nodes.
