Supported installation scenarios

CAUTION

Service Disruption

An NSP system installation requires a thorough understanding of NSP system administration and platform requirements, and is supported only under the conditions described in this guide, the NSP Planning Guide, and the NSP Release Notice.

Such an operation must be planned, documented, and tested in advance on a trial system that is representative of the target live network. Contact NSP professional services to assess the requirements of your NSP deployment, and for information about the upgrade service, which you are strongly recommended to engage for any type of deployment.

The following scenarios are supported for the deployment of a new NSP system:

Note: Before you attempt an NSP installation, ensure that any third-party software installed on the NSP deployer host or any NSP cluster VM is disabled and stopped.

Completely new system installation

Workflow for NSP system installation provides a comprehensive view of the installation activities for advance planning purposes, and includes links to NSP system installation procedures.

Licensing

Your NSP system requires a license. It is recommended that you contact Nokia early in the planning process to obtain the required license for your deployment.

DR system installation

To install the NSP describes the installation of one NSP cluster. To install a DR NSP system, you must perform the procedure once in each data center, as described in Workflow for NSP system installation.

Note: In a DR deployment, the first data center in which you perform To install the NSP is designated the primary data center and hosts the active nspOs instance.

Legacy nspOS migration

As part of a new NSP system installation, you can transfer the nspOS functions of a traditional RPM-based NSP system, or an independent NFM-P system, to the new NSP system. See To migrate from an independent NFM-P system to the NSP for information.
