Workflow for independent NFM-P migration to a new NSP deployment

Description

The following is the sequence of high-level steps required to migrate from an NFM-P-only system to a new NSP cluster deployment that includes the NFM-P. Each cross-reference is a link to a section in procedure To migrate from an independent NFM-P system to an NSP cluster deployment.

Stages
 
1 

Create the required NSP VMs in each data center, back up the NSP databases, and obtain the required security artifacts; see Prepare for migration.

2 

In each data center:

  1. Deploy the NSP cluster; see Deploy NSP clusters.

  2. Restore the NSP Neo4j and PostgreSQL databases; see Restore NSP databases.

  3. Install the NSP software; see Transfer security artifacts to standby cluster.

3 

Configure each NFM-P main server to use the nspOS instance in the new NSP cluster; see Reconfigure NFM-P.

4 

Synchronize the NFM-P and NSP system data; see Synchronize system data.

5 

If the NSP deployment includes NSP analytics servers, configure each analytics server to use the nspOS instance and PostgreSQL database in the NSP cluster; see Reconfigure NSP analytics servers.

6 

If the NSP system includes the WS-NOC, configure the WS-NOC to use the nspOS instance in the NSP cluster; see Reconfigure WS-NOC.
