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 support the initial deployment of NSP clusters:

New NSP system deployment

A completely new NSP system deployment, sometimes called a greenfield deployment, includes only new NSP components. Such a scenario is described in Workflow for new NSP system deployment, which provides a comprehensive view of the installation activities for planning purposes. The workflow includes links to NSP 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 new NSP system deployment.

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.

Migration from independent NFM-P

If you have an independent NFM-P system that you want to include in a greenfield NSP deployment, you can transfer the nspOS functions of the NFM-P deployment to the new NSP system.

See To migrate from an independent NFM-P system to an NSP cluster deployment for information.
