Automate NSO Package Upgrades in a HA environment

[moralenterprise]

Dear NSO devs and users,

Does anyone have an Ansible-Playbook or an NCT based script or a Normal script that can help me to Automate NSO Package Upgrades in a HA environment (consisting of 2 NSO servers in a Master/Slave setup)

We have a lot of custom NSO packages that need to be upgraded often and its a pain doing manual HA failovers and reverting back and forth before performing the package upgrades and cleaning up etc...

Many thanks in advance!

Hello @moralenterprise,

In cases such as yours, I always recommend the following:

Cisco DevNet Code Exchange

https://developer.cisco.com/codeexchange/

Cisco DevNet Automation Exchange

https://developer.cisco.com/network-automation/

In your specific case, I would also recommend you checkout:

ansible-nso

https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/ansible-nso

NSO-developer - results for "Ansible"

https://github.com/NSO-developer/?q=ansible&type=&language=&sort=

nso-ansible-demo

https://developer.cisco.com/codeexchange/github/repo/NSO-developer/nso-ansible-demo/

Thanks for the response @alexstev 

I had already looked at https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/ansible-nso but it does not have any modules for managing an NSO HA cluster.

I also checked out the links you provided but the result is the same. 

Is there a forum where I can chat with/ask other NSO admins for such kind of tools or tips of how to go about it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @moralenterprise,

Too bad you didn't find what you need. I would look at other discussions regarding this topic on here to see who the experts are. I know of no other forums on this topic.
