The Virtualized Service Router (VSR) Installation and Setup Guide installation instructions are to be used for the VSR-NRC. Information such as the installation and configuration pathway, the host machine requirements, and the creation of a VSR-NRC VM, are valid.

Note: If you are upgrading from NSP 22.11 or earlier, you must perform a special procedure in order to migrate the VSR-NRC to VSR-I architecture. See the SR OS 23.3.R1 Release Notes for more information.

For a VSR-NRC to be fully functional, the system must load a valid license file at bootup. The license file encodes the allowed capabilities and features of the VSR-NRC system and is generated automatically when an NSP PCE license is purchased. Contact your Nokia account representative to obtain license file associated with an NSP PCE/VSR-NRC purchase order or trial request. For information about software installation and verification, see the Virtualized Service Router (VSR) Installation and Setup Guide.

VSR-I can be managed through MDM when deployed in model-driven mode.
