How do I upgrade a network function to a new major release?

When you want to upgrade a network function to a new major release with new features,  and ensure seamless operation of the network function, you must first update the network function in CLM prior to the software upgrade.

 

To upgrade an existing network function to a new major software release, you must first obtain and upload a new network pool key from the Nokia Supply Chain that supports the product release into your CLM.

See How do I obtain a network pool key? and How do I upload a network pool key?.


Change the release of the network function and edit or assign new entitlements. The displayed entitlements are valid for the new release.

See How do I edit a network function?.


Deploy a new license key file. The file will contain license keys for the network function releases supported by the network pool key.

See How do I manually generate and deploy a license key?.


Upgrade the network function software to the new release.

See the appropriate node documentation.
