Is there any pre-worked packaged in NSO to upgrade OS of devices ?

[ysfabnsr]

I have found that there was a pre-worked packaged developed by cisco to upgrade devices OS in the network and the discussions were in the below link OS Upgrade Version 2 using NSO - Cisco Community which dated since 2020. I want to know if this feature of NSO still available in NSO 6.2 version and what devices does it cover?

Hello, is this package is used for only cisco devices or it supports alcatel routers and can be used to upgrade os of sr-os alcatel ?

Hi there, 

We announced the launch of the Crosswork Router Automation Kit at Developer Days 2023.  This kit is a collection of pre-built workflows for NSO, one of which is Fleet Upgrade. You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlpFngyosW4&t=5s

Hi Jeswayne,

Thank you for your reply but I was asking if there is a pre-worked packages for nso (network service orchestrator) as previously mentioned in the links I provided at the first conversation. You provide me a link showing Crosswork Workflow Manager while I am searching for informations about the package in cisco network service orchestrator

Ysfabnsr, The packages you mention are delivered by Cisco CX. We have an ALU SR Network Element Driver (Support e.g. 7210, 7705, and 7750). The BU-supported solution will be the Crosswork Router Automation Kit that Jesse mentioned. Hope this helps.

Hi Nicklas,

Thank you for your reply.

So, there is no pre-worked package in NSO to upgrade devices OS as mentioned in this discussion on 2020 and as shown in the video  OS Upgrade Version 2 using NSO - Cisco Community .

The BU-supported solution provided by cisco is based on Crosswork Workflow Manager and not NSO.

os upgrade CX Package could be used. It support cisco and juniper dev. it need nso to work. Usually customisation needs be done during delivery process.

[ysfabnsr]

Is it based on cli neds or netconf neds on NSO ? And can I test it in the cisco learning labs center if there is any lab to test it?

I think best option could be the pre-sales call where you could tell more about your use case.
We could provide live demo. We dont provide demo testbed.
