Redeploying a virtual network function or a VDU that is part of it

Redeployment of a virtual network function or a VDU that is part of it may result in short-term interruptions or temporary loss of function. When planning and coordinating redeployment activities, we recommend taking into account your organization's circumstances to minimize the disruptions.

To redeploy a virtual network function or a VDU that is part of it:

1. On the self-service portal, go to the Catalog menu section.

   The network service management page is displayed.

2. In the Network services pane, click the previously deployed network service to whose topology the virtual network function has been added.

   The topology is displayed.

3. Click the virtual network function.

   The settings area is displayed in the lower part of the page. You can expand the settings area to fill the entire page by clicking the expand icon . By default, the Flavours tab is selected, which displays flavours.

4. If you want to redeploy the virtual network function, at the top of the configuration area, click Management → Redeploy VNF.
5. If you want to redeploy a VDU that is part of the virtual network function:
   1. Select the VDU management tab.

      A table of VDUs is displayed.

   2. Click Management → Healing VDU next to the VDU that you want to redeploy.
6. In the confirmation window, click Confirm.

Redeployment of the virtual network function or its VDU begins, which may take several minutes. You can interrupt the deployment by clicking Abort deploy.
