Input Parameters on Multi-Node Install or Upgrade

Deployment Type

Specify the deployment type using the multi-node command after the deployment. For installation, use the peer-node command followed by the peer node IP address.

Use vip4 command followed by a virtual IP address to provide a virtual IPv4 address for the installation.

efa deploy non-interactive multi-node package <package-name> peer-node <peer node ip> vip4 <virtual ip-address>

For example,

efa deploy non-interactive multi-node package /efaboot/efa-3.4.0.tar.gz peer-node 10.20.246.102 vip4 10.20.246.103

Virtual IPv6

Use the vip6 command followed by a virtual IP address to provide a virtual IPv6 address for the installation.

As a best practice, do not use the virtual IPv6 address that is converted from IPv4 address.

The following example shows the vip6 attributes in an XCO multi-node deployment in a non-interactive mode:

efa deploy non-interactive multi-node package /efaboot/efa-3.4.0.tar.gz peer-node 10.20.246.102 vip4 10.20.246.103 vip6 fd00::56:45

Management IP Networks

Use the management-ip command if you need additional management IP networks. Do not use the command if it is not required. XCO supports adding only a single sub-interface.

efa deploy non-interactive multi-node package peer-node <peer ip> vip4 <virtual ip> management-ip sub-interface-name <sub interface name> sub-vlan-id <sub vlan id> external-subnet <virtual ip with subnet> external-v6-subnet <virtual ip with ipv6 subnet>

When deploying a management IP, the sub-interface-name command requires a name of the sub-interface. Ensure that the VLAN ID sub-vlan-id and the external subnet address external-subnet must be in the CIDR format.

The following example shows the management IP attributes for a single-node XCO deployment in non-interactive mode:

efa deploy non-interactive single-node package /efaboot/efa-3.4.0-410.tar.gz management-ip sub-interface-name sub200 sub-vlan-id 200 external-subnet 10.10.10.1/24 external-v6-subnet 2001::1/64

Build Upgrade and Replacement

In a TPVM deployment, the following options are available for a multi-node build upgrade and replacement:

• With node replacement: Use the replacement-ip command followed by the replacement peer node IP address.
• Without node replacement: No action is needed as the default is to deploy with no node replacement.

The following example shows multi-node build upgrade with node replacement in a non-interactive mode:

efa deploy non-interactive multi-node package /efaboot/efa-3.4.0.tar.gz replacement-ip 10.200.246.155
