Workflow Execution

Execution Stages

  1. pre_reprovision_backup starts a child Configuration Backup workflow, which captures the running configuration and validates the intended configuration with a candidate diff. Invalid configuration fails this retryable stage before factory reset. The stage links to the child backup workflow on success and failure; check the child workflow for configuration drift details. Drift does not stop reprovisioning.
  2. execute_ztp factory-resets the device and waits up to 30 minutes for DHCP/ZTP and the device reboot to complete.
  3. perform_backup starts a second child Configuration Backup workflow after ZTP succeeds and links to that workflow in the stage output.
