Feature Description

Redundancy of UPs is achieved through RCM. Currently, the UPs are configured from RCM and the redundancy module is also managed by RCM. RCM uses a String-based configuration approach to configure the UPs. However, this approach results in several issues such as configuration validation, failure handling such as rollback, and most importantly configuration automation by orchestrators such as Network Services Orchestrator (NSO). This feature addresses all these issues by moving the configuration out of RCM and let the NSO (or any third part Orchestrator) deal with configuration. With this feature, NSO pushes all day-1 and day-N configurations to UP and RCM. RCM manages redundancy functionality by pushing only the configuration required during UP switchover.
