Workflow for DR NSP system upgrade from Release 22.6 or earlier
Purpose
The following is the sequence of high-level actions involved in the upgrade of a DR Release 22.3 or 22.6 NSP system.
Stages
Prepare for upgrade | |
1 |
Perform “How do I display the NSP cluster status?” in the NSP System Administrator Guide to: |
Upgrade standby NSP cluster | |
2 |
In the standby data center, perform To prepare for an NSP system upgrade from Release 22.6 or earlier, to do the following: |
3 |
In the standby data center, perform the following phases of To upgrade a Release 22.6 or earlier NSP cluster; each phase has links to step sections in the procedure. Note: The standby cluster, which becomes the new primary cluster, is not started until after you stop the primary cluster. |
Prepare primary NSP cluster for upgrade | |
4 |
In the primary data center, perform To prepare for an NSP system upgrade from Release 22.6 or earlier to do the following: |
5 |
In the primary data center, perform the following phase of To upgrade a Release 22.6 or earlier NSP cluster . Disable existing cluster— Step 1 to Step 9
|
Configure and start new primary (former standby) NSP cluster | |
6 |
In the standby data center, perform the following phase of To upgrade a Release 22.6 or earlier NSP cluster. Configure and start NSP cluster— Step 115 to Step 151 (end of procedure)
|
Perform sanity check of new primary NSP cluster | |
7 |
On the new primary NSP cluster, verify various NSP system functions by performing actions such as: |
Upgrade or enable additional primary components and systems | |
8 |
If the NSP deployment includes the VSR-NRC, upgrade the VSR-NRC In the new primary (former standby) data center, as described in the VSR-NRC documentation. |
9 |
If you are including an existing NFM-P system at an earlier release in the deployment, perform one of the following In the new primary (former standby) data center.
Note: An NFM-P system upgrade procedure includes steps for upgrading the following components in an orderly fashion. |
10 |
If the NSP system includes the WS-NOC, perform the appropriate procedures in WS-NOC and NSP integration to enable WS-NOC integration with the upgraded NSP system. |
Upgrade new standby (former primary) NSP cluster | |
11 |
In the former primary data center, perform the following phases of To upgrade a Release 22.6 or earlier NSP cluster.
|
Perform sanity check of new standby NSP cluster | |
12 |
Use a browser to open the standby NSP cluster URL. |
13 |
Verify the following. |
Upgrade or enable additional standby components and systems | |
14 |
If the NSP deployment includes the VSR-NRC, upgrade the VSR-NRC In the new standby (former primary) data center, as described in the VSR-NRC documentation. |
15 |
If you are including an existing NFM-P system at an earlier release in the deployment, perform one of the following In the new standby (former primary) data center.
Note: An NFM-P system upgrade procedure includes steps for upgrading the following components in an orderly fashion. |
16 |
If the NSP system includes the WS-NOC, perform the appropriate procedures in WS-NOC and NSP integration to enable WS-NOC integration with the upgraded NSP system. |
