Installing ONES Agents 3.0

Overview

ONES requires user to install the below agents on SONiC NOS to allow Network Orchestration and Visibility

• ONES Orchestrator Agent for Network Orchestration

• ONES Telemetry Agent for Telemetry Data Streaming (Network Visibility)

• ONES Server_Agent for GPU Telemetry Data Streaming

Server_Agent GPU telemetry is only supported on intel Gaudy platform.

ONES Agent 3.0 Version allow the user to add a new controller IP and to change the authentication between controller and agent without doing the complete installation again.

• Network Orchestration is not supported

SONiC NOS upgrade scenario - Impact on ONES Agents

• SONiC NOS Upgrade could be done either via

  • ONES UI (Inventory-->Devices)

    • Instead of using FM - Orchestrator Agent

    • Orchestrator Agent takes a backup of FMCLI, ONES Agents and associated services to the /host folder.

    • After a successful upgrade, Orchestrator Agent restores these files

  • Traditional method (ZTP, sonic-installer CLI)

    • The user needs to reinstall ONES Agents again
