You can use this procedure to deploy new VSD vm with interfaces disabled on vcenter. You can then follow the normal uprade procedure which enables interfaces on the deployed vsd cluster vm. Using vcenter_start_vsd_with_interfaces_disabled flag, you can spin up new vm which have disabled interfaces. Later stage during the upgrade the interfaces enabled by vcenter-enable-interface.yml playbook.
When you use MetroAE to predeploy vsd vm, the common.yml in your deployment must set the vcenter_start_vsd_with_interfaces_disabled variable to true.
When your deployment is correct, use the normal upgrade command to upgrade the vsd cluster which will deploy the new vm with disabled inteface and during the upgrade procedure it will enables the interface itself.

Also this can also be done during full upgrade i.e. all component upgrade including vsds, vscs, vcins, nuhs for that similar deployment needs to set. After that following command will upgrade nuage components.
