Custom Maintenance Mode Actions for CloudVision

In order to orchestrate a custom Maintenance Mode unit in EOS (another unit than System), we need to create custom actions in CloudVision.

This repository provides 2 custom actions:

• enter-mm.py which places into maintenance a custom unit
• exit-mm.py which puts out of maintenance a custom unit

How to add these actions in CloudVision ?

1. Go to Provisioning -> Actions -> New Action.
2. Give a name (e.g. Enter Maintenance Mode). Action Type is Change Control.
3. Copy and paste the script enter-mm.py. Go to Manage Arguments and create the built-in dynamic arguement DeviceID and another dynamic argument named maintenanceUnit. Both are required.
4. Save and repeat the operation for the Exit Maintenance Mode custom action.

EOS Upgrade Workflow Automation for a leaf

Here is an example of automation workflow to upgrade an EOS leaf with mono attached hosts:

The custom actions in this workflow can be implemented using the script in this repository.
