4.3.12 Migrating Standby BM IPFE on VM

Perform the following procedure to migrate Standby BM IPFE on VM.
  1. Remove Standby IPFE from topology.
    1. Log in to Active NOAM DSR GUI.
    2. Navigate to Status & Manage from Main Menu, then select HA.
    3. To change HA state of IPFE to Out of Service (OOS), perform the following steps:
      1. To change IPFE HA state to OOS, perform the following steps:
        1. Navigate to Status & Manage from Main Menu, then select HA.
        2. Click Edit and change Max Allowed HA Role of IPFE to OOS.
      2. To remove the standby IPFE from IPFE Server group, perform the following steps:
        1. Navigate to Configuration from Main Menu, then select Server Groups.
        2. Select Server Group which contains Standby IPFE instance and click Edit.
        3. Uncheck Standby IPFE instance from Server Group and click OK.
      3. Navigate to Configuration from Main Menu, then select Servers and select Standby IPFE. Click Delete.
  2. Shutdown IPFE by running the following command:
    sudo shutdown -h now
  3. Create vDSR 9.0.1.

    Note:

    Create IPFE on the same host where DAMP, SOAM, NOAM VM was created.
  4. Assign XMI IP to new vDSR 9.0.1.
    To configure netmask and XMI IP address values, run the following command:
    sudo /usr/TKLC/plat/bin/netAdm set --onboot=yes --netmask=<netmask> --device=eth0 --address=<IP address>
  5. Log in to DSR Active vDSR 9.0.1 NOAM using XMI.
  6. Navigate to Configuration from Main Menu, then select Servers.
  7. Click Insert.
  8. Add the following details for IPFE server:
    • Enter IPFE hostname
    • Update Role as MP
    • Hardware Profile as DSR Guest
    • Configure XMI and IMI, XSI IP's and NTP server IP
  9. Click Ok.
  10. Select the required IPFE server (which was created in the previous step).
  11. Click Export, to export server configuration file to the file management folder on the Active NOAM.
  12. Now ssh to Active DSR 9.0.X NOAM and copy the TKLCConfigData.<hostname>.sh file to the IPFE. After copying the file wait for 5 minutes.
    cd $FILE_MGMT_AREA
    sudo scp TKLCConfigData.<hostname>.sh admusr@<XMI IP of new vDSR IPFE instance>:/var/tmp/TKLCConfigData.sh
  13. ssh to IPFE XMI IP and verify the /var/TKLC/appw/logs/Process/install.log log file for successfully running of TKLCConfigData.sh file. You can run following command to check logs.
    sudo tail -f /var/TKLC/appw/logs/Process/install.log
    Output:
    + sed -i s/WALLET_KEY_TO_BE_REPLACED_DURING_SERVER_EXPORT/bc332acff044aa6bcc7871c0742b0b89abd658efc23549acc70d857279a1ee3bb31e04f2e85fcc50fe2fad0c6aa69d3596ecb68f84983b44d7805d98a994ad96/g/usr/TKLC/appworks/prod/maint/loaders/install/postInstall/load.AppworksSecConfig

    [SUCCESS] script completed successfully!
  14. Wait for 10 minutes for server to configure with the IP configuration, then reboot the VM using sudo init 6 command on CLI.
  15. Log in to Active vDSR NOAM GUI.
  16. Navigate to Configuration from Main Menu, then select Server Groups.
  17. Select the IPFE (Level C) Server group and click Edit.

    Note:

    Add IPFE to the same server group from where IPFE was removed.
  18. Select the newly added vDSR IPFE instance to add to the IPFE Server group, then click Ok to save the changes and wait for 5 minutes.
  19. If the Max Allowed HA Role of new vDSR IPFE is not Active then navigate to Status & Manage from Main Menu, then select HA and change Max Allowed HA Role of that IPFE instance to Active.
  20. SSH to newly added vDSR IPFE instance.
  21. Run the following commands to disable the upgrade barrier feature:
    iset -fvalue=1 IdbParamDef where "param='IdbDisableUpgBarrier'"
    sudo init 6
  22. Log in to Active vDSR NOAM GUI.
  23. Navigate to Status & Manage from Main Menu, then select Server and select IPFE. Click Restart.
  24. Run following command on newly added vDSR IPFE instance:
    /usr/TKLC/dsr/bin/updateConfigData 8.6

    Note:

    Ignore the following error while running on IPFE error:
    "disallowed write on replicated table"
