Set Deploy Mode (Datacenter)

Set Deploy Mode (from Build Panel)

From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical, then in the Build panel (on the right) click the Devices tab.
If you don't see the nodes list, click the status indicator for Assigned System IDs.
Click a node name to see device details.
Click the Edit button for Deploy Mode and select a deploy mode.
- Deploy - Adds service configuration and puts the device fully in service.
- Ready - Adds Ready configuration (hostnames, interface descriptions, port speeds / breakouts) (previously called Discovery 2 config). Changing from deploy to ready removes service configuration.
- Drain - Takes a device out of service for maintenance. For more information, see Draining Device Traffic.
- Undeploy - Removes Apstra-rendered configuration. If a device is carrying traffic it is best to first put the device into drain mode (and commit the change). When the device is completely drained, proceed to undeploy the device.
Click the Save button to stage the change.

When you're ready to activate changes, Commit them from the Uncommitted tab.

From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical.
Either from the Topology view or the Nodes view, select a node.
If it's not already selected, click the Device tab in the Selection panel (on the right).
Click the Edit button for Deploy Mode and select a deploy mode.
Click the Save button to stage the new deploy mode.

You can change the deploy mode for one or more nodes at the same time from the Nodes view.

From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Nodes and check one or more check boxes for the node(s) to change. (You can narrow your search with the drop-down lists for planes, pods, and racks as applicable.)
Click the Set Deploy Mode button (fourth of five buttons above the nodes list) and select a deploy mode. (To filter selection before changing deploy mode, you can use the query.)
Click Set Deploy Mode to stage the change and return to the Nodes view.
