The tpvm deploy
command is a
container command, rolling several SLX commands into one, to perform TPVM and Insight
Interface set up and configuration.
tpvm deploy
command
performs the following installation and configuration operations:root@slx
Note
SLX 20.1.2 has the flexibility to run eithertpvm-3.0.0
or tpvm-4.0.0
. The
default administrator passwords are different for each version. tpvm-3.0.0
uses
admin/password
, and tpvm-4.0.0
uses
extreme/password

.tpvm-3.0.0
or tpvm-4.0.0
.
Either one of the TPVM Debian package images can be copied to /tftpboot/SWBD2900 and installed using tpvm install
or
tpvm
deploy
. However, it is recommended that only one TPVM Debian
package image (the desired version tpvm) exists under /tftpboot/SWBD2900 before executing tpvm install
or
tpvm
deploy
.Verify the presence of the TPVM firmware package in the SLXVM /tftpboot/SWBD2900
directory. If the latest version is not there, download before running the TPVM deploy
command.
The tpvm deploy
command begins with the standard TPVM installation.
eth0
and eth1
.
When using tpvm install the default setting is eth0 and DHCP.
When using the tpvm deploy, the user can specify the interface to
use eth0
or eth1
and set it to use either DHCP or
specify an IP/netmask and gateway. In either case, the unused interface it set to
manual mode without any IP configuration. Note
The user can manually configure or override these settings by logging into the TPVM via ssh or tpvm console and manually modifying the linux network configuration.tpvm
deploy
allows you to configure ssh access from the root user account on
the SLX-OS to TPVM without a password. For example:
root@SLX# ssh -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" extreme@10.23.30.153When using the passwordless parameter, please note the following:
tpvm deploy
is
used, regardless of whether TPVM is reinstalled or retained from previous
install.The TPVM default user is admin with sudo
privileges. The tpvm deploy
command configures
TPVM so sudo
for
this user does not ask for a password. Setting this parameter once will persist for
the lifetime of the TPVM.
If not set, the default behavior requires a password for sudo
activities, as
dicated by the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server Operating System.
The tpvm-4.0.0
package ships
with SLX-OS 20.1.2 and uses extreme/password
as the default login credential. To automate the TPVM
setup and achieve one touch provisioning of TPVM, this optional parameter will set
the password for the TPVM admin user account. Setting this parameter once will
persist for the lifetime of the TPVM.
Note
Thetpvm-3.0.0
package can be used/installed with SLX-OS 20.1.2.
If you are using this TPVM package, please note that the the default login
credentials are admin/password.
This option will restart the TPVM image automatically in subsequent reboots, such as an SLX-OS start on a Baremetal platform, or a HOST start on a VM-based platform.
After configuring the TPVM as described above,
tpvm deploy
will
start TPVM. On the SLX-9150/9250, and the SLX-9650, a reboot of the SLX-OS will
reboot TPVM. On the SLX-9450, an SLX-OS reboot does not affect TPVM, however if the
HOST reboots for any reason, TPVM also reboots.
