   3. When the restore is complete, run source /etc/profile.
      You can now log in to XCO.
   4. To enable secure connections, install the certificates on devices.
      

      efa certificate device install --ip 10.20.61.92 --cert-type https

      The command installs the HTTPS or OAuth2 certificate on one or more devices.
   5. To get the current state of the devices, run the efa inventory device update command after you run the restore command.
   6. Check the status of the services to ensure that they are in-sync.
