To execute a saved card migration event

Steps
 
1 

Use the NFM-P to back up the device configuration of each target NE.

Note: When you attempt a migration on an NE that does not have a recent configuration backup in the NFM-P database, the NFM-P raises an alarm and the migration fails.

A recent configuration backup is a backup that occurs after the latest configuration save on the NE.

2 

Choose Tools→Card Migration Event Manager from the NFM-P main menu. The Card Migration Event Manager form opens.

3 

Select a card migration event and click Properties. The Card Migration Event (Edit) form opens with the General tab displayed.

4 

Click Initiate Migration and click Yes. The NFM-P starts to migrate the specified cards.

5 

Monitor the card migration as it progresses by viewing the Status indicator on the form. The status can be one of the following:

  • Awaiting manual reboot to complete migration

  • Failed - Latest configuration not available

  • Failed - Unable to migrate configuration

  • Failed - Unable to reboot network element

  • Failed - Unable to transfer migrated configuration

  • Migration completed

  • Not Started

  • Rebooted network element

  • Started

  • Swap failed

  • Swap failed on some network elements

6 

Save your changes and close the form.
