Modify, Delete, and Restore Resource Instances

Use the following procedures to modify, delete, and restore resource instances from the Paragon Automation database.

Modify a Resource Instance

To modify a resource instance:
  1. Click Orchestration > Resource Instances.
    The Resource Instances page appears.
  2. In the Resource Instances table, select the instance you want to modify and click the edit (pencil) icon.
    The Modify Resource-Instance-Name page appears.
  3. Modify the resource instance by uploading a preconfigured JSON file with the updates, or by editing the GUI fields in the Resource Editor pane. See Configure a Network Resource Pool.
    After the modify service order for the resource instance is successfully executed, the updated configurations are uploaded to the Paragon Automation database.
    Note:

    If you modify a resource instance when the resources configured in the instance are in use for a service, the modify service order is saved but fails to commit. When the service order commit fails, you can restore the last service order for the resource instance. See Restore a Resource Instance.

Delete a Resource Instance

To delete a resource instance:
  1. Click Orchestration > Resource Instances.
    The Resource Instances page appears.
  2. In the Resource Instances table, select the instance you want to delete and click the edit (pencil) icon.
  3. Click More > Deprovision.
    Alternatively, right-click the resource instance name and click Deprovision.
  4. On the Deprovision Resource Instance dialog box, click Yes to confirm.
    You see a message that the resource instance is successfully deleted.
    Note:

    If you delete a resource instance when the resources configured in the instance are in use for a service, the delete service order fails to execute. When the delete order fails, you can restore the last service order for the resource instance. See Restore a Resource Instance.

Restore a Resource Instance

If you modify or delete a resource instance when the resources configured in the instance are in use for a service, the corresponding modify or delete service order that is generated is saved but fails to commit. When the service order commit fails, you can restore the last service order for the resource instance.

To restore the last service order for a resource instance:

  1. Click Orchestration > Resource Instances.
    The Resource Instances page appears.
  2. In the Resource Instances table, select the instance you want to restore.
  3. Click More > Restore.
    The Restore option is enabled only when a resource instance fails to commit. This option is disabled if the resource instance is successfully committed.
  4. Click Yes on the Restore Resource Instance dialog box to confirm.

    A service order is generated and the Monitor Order Status page appears. The page displays the execution state of the order.

    Alternatively, you can restore the last service order for a resource instance by clicking the Restore instance hyperlink on the Monitor Order Status page when a service order fails to commit after you modify the network resource pool. For more information, see step 8 of the Configure a Network Resource Pool procedure.
