Hey all, We have a client who is using MX80s in front of a Vmware Cluster.
They are using the XML provisioning API to manage the provisioning on VLAN's, Layer 3 and Layer 2 services. Not that important what is being provisioned though. The issue is they want to be able to rapidly provision without causing conflicts between provisioning processes and also NetOps staff doing changes. An an example, there are 4 processes at the moment which are creating juniper config (let's keep it simple and say VLAN's with a layer 3 - which is an ae unit, then a bridge domain, then an IRB. The config being applied doesn't conflict (or at least shouldn't), but the real issue comes when wanting to commit the changes. Having 4 processes simultaneously wanting to commit is going to cause havoc, and I am trying to find out if someone out there has an easier way to do this. We've considered having a single process using edit exclusive, but this is going to slow things down significantly. I've been looking at 'edit private' as an option, which might be interesting, but if there are a dozen changes done, and you commit, and there is an error somewhere, tracking that down will be a pita. I've also thought of loading the config into a file, putting it onto the box, then bulk importing... but this also seems an issue to catch problems. Any thoughts? Thanks all if anyone have any ideas. *Skeeve Stevens, CEO* eintellego Pty Ltd ske...@eintellego.net ; www.eintellego.net <http://www.eintellego.net.au> Phone: 1300 753 383 ; Fax: (+612) 8572 9954 Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellego twitter.com/networkceoau ; www.linkedin.com/in/skeeve PO Box 7726, Baulkham Hills, NSW 1755 Australia The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco – Brocade - IBM _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
