VNF and VM Recovery Using the Portal

VNF and VM Recovery Using the Portal

You can now perform manual recovery of VNFs and VM using the ESC portal:

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Deployments.

Step 2

Select a deployment in error state.

For VM level recovery, select a VM in error state from the View VNFs page.

Step 3

Click Recover VNF or Monitor + Recover VNF.

Step 4

Click OK to confirm.

Step 5

Select a Recovery Action from the Recovery Action dropdown and click OK.

The following recovery actions are available:

  • Default—Triggers the recovery action that was defined in the datamodel.

  • REBOOT_ONLY

  • REDEPLOY_ONLY

  • REBOOT_THEN_REDEPLOY

For more information on the recovery options, see Recovery Policy.

Important Points

  1. Configurable manual recovery does not support the in-flight transaction behaviour. So if a failover happens during a configurable manual recovery, the manual recovery resumes with predefined recover action.

  2. For deployment migration, use the default recovery policy. Cisco does not provide recovery action for VM/VNF manual recovery in LCS based recovery.
