Set Deploy Mode (Freeform)

Note:

When you set the deploy mode on a system, it appears in its Device Context. But if you haven’t added deploy_mode (as a Jinja variable) to the config template that’s assigned to that system, it has no effect on the rendered configuration.

You can set the deploy mode for one system at a time, or for multiple systems at the same time in one dialog.

Set Deploy Mode on One System

  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Systems and click the name of the system that needs its deploy mode set. The details page appears.
    Note:

    You can also get to the details page from the Topology view. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Topology and select the system that needs its deploy mode set.
  2. Click the Edit button for the Deploy Mode field.
  3. Select the deploy mode (deploy, ready, drain, undeploy), then click the Save button to stage your changes.
    Note:

    You can also assign the system ID in the same device panel.

In Apstra version 4.1.2, internal systems with deploy mode set to Deploy require an assigned config template. In versions 4.1.0 and 4.1.1, ALL internal systems require an assigned config template regardless of deploy mode. Make sure the config template assigned to the device includes deploy_mode or your changes will have no effect on configuration.

Set Deploy Modes on Multiple Systems

  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Systems and select the check boxes for one or more systems, then click the Set Deploy Mode button.
    Note:

    You can also set deploy modes (and system IDs) by clicking the Change System IDs assignments button (to the left of the Set Deploy Mode button.
  2. In the dialog, select the deploy mode (deploy, ready, drain, undeploy) for the selected systems.
    Note:

    You can also assign system IDs from the same dialog.
  3. Click Set Deploy Mode to stage the changes and return to the Systems view.

In Apstra version 4.1.2, internal systems with deploy mode set to Deploy require an assigned config template. In versions 4.1.0 and 4.1.1, ALL internal systems require an assigned config template regardless of deploy mode. Make sure the config template assigned to the device includes deploy_mode or your changes will have no effect on configuration.
