Problem

Unable to deploy Versa FlexVNF on a branch after getting the management IPaddress, in spite of running the staging.py script.

Solution

Ensure you have these in place:

• Pre-staging and post staging templates. Ensure they are correctly configured.
• Connectivity between the Versa Director to a controller, and from a controller to a branch.

Follow these steps to resolve this issue and deploy the Versa FlexVNF on a branch:

1. Check the route in branch. The branch must have the southbound IP Address (192.10.1.1) of Versa Director. 
2. Run the show route routing-instance grt CLI command to check the route between the branch to the Versa Director.
   
   

   admin@BRANCH1001-cli> show route routing-instance grt
   
   Routes for Routing instance : grt  AFI: ipv4
   
   Codes: E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
   IA - inter area, iA - intra area,
   L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
   N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
   RTI - Learnt from another routing-instance
   + - Active Route
   
   Prot   Type  Dest Address/Mask   Next-hop        Age      Interface name
   ----   ----  -----------------   --------        ---      --------------
   conn   N/A  +192.20.11.0/30      0.0.0.0         2w1d04h  vni-0/0.0
   local  N/A  +192.20.11.2/32      0.0.0.0         2w1d04h  directly connected

   
   

3. Open the /var/versa/vnms/data/conf/vnms.properties file and check for the southbound IP address (192.10.1.1) of the Versa Director.
4. Edit the /var/versa/vnms/data/conf/vnms.properties file to add the southbound IP Address of Versa Director, if this IP is missing in the file.
5. Run this sudo command to open the log file.
   
   

       admin@LAB2-DIRECTOR:~$ sudo vi /var/versa/vnms/data/conf/vnms.properties
