Spectrum VNA integration: Active OneClick grayed out when loading production Spectrum Database in Dev Environment

Products

• Spectrum
• Network Observability

Issue/Introduction

I'm in the process of loading a Spectrum SSDB backup from production to test. 

I've disabled the VNA integration and want to re-enable it but the Active OneClick field is grayed out. 

The VNA integration screen won't accept changes.

Environment

Release : 22.2.x

Resolution

For Spectrum versions 22.2.5\22.2.6:

If you intend to point the dev\test Spectrum server to a different VNA System:

1. Update the SDN_Enabled_OC_Server attribute on the SDNManager Model to the new OneClick server hostname.
2. Clear the VNASiteConfiguration Attribute on the SDNManager Model to has only the following XML tag: <site-list></site-list>

3. Remove all VNA Models from Spectrum.  Locator > SDN Manager > All VNA Models.   NOTE:  If you want to retain SNMP-enabled models then ONLY delete models that have SDN_ as part of the ModelType.

4. restart tomcat.

5. Reconfigure VNA in OC.

 

If you intend to point the dev\test Spectrum Server to the same VNA System as production:

 

1. Update the SDN_Enabled_OC_Server attribute on the SDNManager Model to the new OneClick server hostname.
2. Edit the VNASiteConfiguration Attribute on the SDNManager Model by pasting the full attribute value into notepad and then replace the landscape tag to reflect the new landscape <landscape>hostname/landscape> and then update the attribute in OneClick with the new value.

3. Restart tomcat.

4. Reconfigure\Verify VNA configuration in OC.

 

For Spectrum versions 22.2.7+:

If you intend to point the dev\test Spectrum server to a different VNA System:

1. Update the SDN_Enabled_OC_Server attribute on the SDNManager model to the new OneClick server hostname.
2. Clear the VNASiteConfiguration Attribute located on *EVERY* VNAGatewayHost model so it has only the following XML tag: <site-list></site-list>

3. Remove all VNA Models from Spectrum.  Locator > SDN Manager > All VNA Models.   NOTE:  If you want to retain SNMP-enabled models then ONLY delete models that have SDN_ as part of the ModelType.

4. Restart Tomcat.

5. Reconfigure VNA in OC.
