Hi, I have just finished getting bit by a this problem and I found a solution, but I don't understand what was wrong with my original approach. Can somebody explain this to me:
Step 1: Run a custom brownfield import routine(action) to build up out custom Loadbalancer service. It was doing a an apply transaction with no-deploy set as I figured it was more efficient not calling the Create Callback.
String returnStr = lb_import(ncsroot, slfroot, maapi, th, readDeviceKey, writeDeviceString, pairDeviceString);
// we need to apply the transaction before sync from our added
// devices the action is always towards the running.
CommitParams cmtparams = new CommitParams();
//cmtparams.setNoNetworking();
cmtparams.setNoDeploy();
ApplyResult ar = maapi.applyTransParams(th, false,cmtparams);
maapi.finishTrans(th);
//Not Needed since this is ReadOnly
//imaapi.applyTrans(ith, false);
imaapi.finishTrans(ith);
Step 2: Do a re-deploy reconcile no-networking operation to get the RefCounts and RefLinks setup.
services loadbalancers loadbalancer * re-deploy reconcile { discard-non-service-config } no-networking
The problem was that when the operator deleted any part of the service, it was removed in NSO but nothing went to the device:
admin@ncs(config)# no services loadbalancers loadbalancer 10.10.10.10 pools pool myCustomPoolName10 pool-members pool-member poolMember10B 9106
admin@ncs(config)# commit dry-run
cli {
local-node {
data services {
loadbalancers {
loadbalancer 10.10.10.10 {
pools {
pool myCustomPoolName10 {
pool-members {
- pool-member poolMember10B 9106 {
- ip 10.10.10.6;
- member-state disabled;
- node-state disabled;
- }
}}}}}}}}
The fix was to use cmtparams.setNoNetworking(); instead. What I don't get is why. Shouldn't the redeploy reconcile have run the Create Callback for the Service and recreated the RefCount and RefLinks? Actually I see these in the CDB but the problem was still happening so perhaps there is some other part of the CDB that was not getting initialized. Anyone able to explain this? Thanks in advance,
Jim
