Workflow for new NSP system deployment
Purpose
The following is the sequence of high-level actions that you must perform in order to install a standalone or DR NSP system.
Stages
1 |
Submit an NSP Platform Sizing Request to Nokia; if the NSP deployer host and cluster VMs are to be deployed on one station, ensure that you include the deployer host resources in your request. |
2 |
If using physical hosts for the VMs, perform To provision the network bridge for NSP VMs on each physical host to create a network bridge for KVM access to the guest VMs. |
3 |
Commission the required stations for the NSP VMs according to the specifications in the response to your Platform Sizing Request. |
4 |
Ensure that the RHEL chronyd time-synchronization service is running on each component, and that chronyd is actively tracking a central time source. See the RHEL documentation for information about using the chronyc command to view the chronyd synchronization status. Note: NSP deployment is blocked if the chronyd service is not active. |
5 |
Contact Nokia to obtain the required license for your deployment. |
6 |
If you are using a custom TLS certificate for the deployment, perform To generate custom TLS certificate files for the NSP to generate the required TLS files. |
7 |
Install the NSP in the standalone or primary data center; perform To install the NSP. |
8 |
In a DR deployment, install the NSP in the standby data center; perform To install the NSP. |
9 |
If you are using NSP artifacts, see “How do I install adaptor artifacts that are not supported in the Artifacts view?” or “How do I install an artifact bundle?” to download and install the artifacts. |
10 |
If you are adding an existing independent NFM-P system to the NSP deployment, perform To add an independent NFM-P to an existing NSP deployment. |
