How do I unmanage or re-manage a device?

Purpose

Use this procedure to unmanage or re-manage a classic device from the Device Management, Managed Network Elements view.

Nokia recommends performing a backup from NSP before unmanaging a classic device; see How do I back up an NE?. Backups taken using this method are retained in the NSP File Server after unmanaging the device, whereas any backups taken from the NFM-P are removed from the NFM-P server

Steps
 
1 

Open the Device Management, Managed Network Elements view.

2 

To unmanage a device, choose a classic NE and select png1.png (Table row actions), Manage, Unmanage.

The Management State is updated to Not Managed.

3 

To re-manage a device, choose a classic NE in Not Managed status and select png1.png (Table row actions), Manage, Manage.

Note: If you need to unmanage and re-manage an NE with telemetry subscriptions configured, a delay of up to 15 min may occur before all telemetry subscription are reinstated.
