Install EFA on TPVM

The following procedure describes how to perform a new installation on a TPVM.

EFA on TPVM is only supported on the SLX 9150 and SLX 9250 platforms.
  1. On the SLX where TPVM is planned to be run, verify that TPVM is set up for EFA deployment:
    • Validate that TPVM is running
      # show tpvm status
    • Validate that TPVM has an assigned IP address
      # show tpvm ip-address
    • Validate that the SSH keys are uploaded
      # show tpvm status
    • Validate that passwordless access is configured
      # show tpvm status
  2. Enter SLX Linux mode.
    # start-shell
    # cd /efaboot
  3. Copy the EFA tar file to SLX.
    # scp <efa-bundle>
  4. Deploy EFA on TPVM from SLX shell.
    # efa deploy
  5. Verify the status of EFA.
    # show efa status
