2. Pre-install
This section has two menus:
1. Blueprint Setup : Blueprint is the YAML (setupdata) present in the Management node. There are two ways to create a Blueprint:
1.
Form based through the UI.
2.
Upload an existing YAML.
In case of manual creation the user has to fill in details for Initial setup, physical setup and OpenStack, which covers core and optional features like VMTP, NFVI Monitoring, COLLECTED, Auto configuration of ToR, Optional services like Heat, Keystonev3 and so on. In case of upload of an existing YAMLl, the user can just upload the file and click Upload to automatically populate all the corresponding fields in the UI. At any given point, one can initiate the offline validation of the entry, by clicking the Offline Validate button, on the upper right hand corner in the Blueprint Setup menu.
Offline Validation will only take place if all the fields marked in Blueprint are filled and there are no client side validations remaining. Even if they are the Offline Validation, pop up will show which field is missing.

There are two ways that you can switch to another pod:
1. Context Switching Icon : Context Switching Icon is situated on the top right corner of the UI and is the third Icon from the left tool tip. Click Management Node Context Switching , to access all pods. There can be a case when a pod has red dot right next to it which indicates that the REST Password provided during registration of Management node does not matches with the current REST Password for that particular node. The Pod Admin/User can reach out to UI Admin and ask them to update the password for that Node from Manage Nodes in Insight UI Admin Portal.
2. Switch Between Management Nodes : Switch Between Management Nodes is situated in Dashboard.
You can navigate to the pods by a single click. If mouse changes form hand or cursor to a red not sign then it is the same case as mentioned above for the REST Password mismatch.

POD Management
One of the key aspects of Cisco VIM it that it provides the ability for the admin to perform pod life-cycle management from a hardware and software perspective. Nodes of a given pod corrupts at times and VIM provides the ability to add, remove or replace nodes, based on the respective roles with some restrictions.
Details of pod management will be listed in the admin guide, however as a summary the following operations are allowed on a running pod:
Step 1 Add or Remove Storage Nodes : You can add one node at a time, given that we run Ceph as a distributed storage offering.
Cisco Virtualized Infrastructure Manager Installation Guide, 2.0

System Update
Step 2
Step 3
Add or Remove Computes Nodes : N-computes nodes can be replaced simultaneously; however at any given point, at least one compute node should be active.
Replace Control Nodes : We do not support double fault scenarios, replacement of one controller at a time is supported.
System Update
As part of the lifecycle management of the cloud, VIM has the ability to bring in patches (bug fixes related to code, security, etc.), thereby providing the additional value of seamless cloud management from software perspective.
