How do I update an NE configuration to use a newer intent type?

Purpose

Use this procedure to migrate the configurations for an NE from one configuration template to another, for example, when a new device-specific intent type is available for the device.

The device specific intent type bundles include the workflow, icm-workflow-ne-migrate-multiple, required to migrate the configurations.

Only deployments in Deployed Aligned or Deployed Misaligned status are migrated.

Note: This procedure does not support migration from classic management to MDM.

Steps
 
1 

Create a template using the new intent type.

  1. Obtain the new intent type artifact bundle from the Nokia NSP software delivery site.

  2. Import the artifact bundle into NSP; see “How do I install an artifact bundle?” in the NSP Network Automation Guide

  3. Import the intent type into Device Management; see How do I import a configuration intent type?

  4. Create a configuration template using the intent type; see How do I create a configuration template?.

  5. Repeat the preceding steps as needed to create configuration templates for all the intent types you need to migrate to.

2 

Open Workflows, All Workflows.

3 

Select the icm-workflow-ne-migrate-multiple workflow and click png1.png (Table row actions), Execute.

4 

In the Create Execution form that opens, configure the migration parameters.

  1. Enter an optional description in the Description field.

    You can filter on the description in the Workflow Executions view.

  2. Click in the NE ID field and choose the NE ID.

  3. Click png2.pngADD above the Source and Target Template Pair field.

  4. Click in the Source Template field, select a template, and click SELECT.

  5. Click in the Target Template field, select the template to migrate to, and click SELECT.

  6. Click EXECUTE.

The workflow executes, replacing deployments on the NE that used the source template with deployments using the target template.

5 

Open Workflows, Workflow Executions to monitor the progress of the workflow.

As the workflow proceeds, the list of deployments in Device Management, Configuration Deployments is updated to show the new template.
