Install XCO in a Multi-Node Deployment using Single CLI

You can install XCO in a multi-node cluster for high availability.

About this task

Follow this procedure to install XCO in a multi-node deployment using single CLI.

Procedure

  1. Download the XCO tar file and the digests file to the Linux server. XCO is installed on this server using an administrative account.
    admin@server$ ls efa-3.4.0-digests.tar.gz  efa-3.4.0.tar.gz
  2. Verify the PGP signature as described in article 48172 on the Extreme Portal.
  3. Extract the XCO tarball to a desired location. Ensure that this location has the permissions to allow your administrative user to run the commands.
  4. Change the current directory to the extracted file location.
    1. Run the following command for fabric:
      source deployment.sh -I --deploy-suite fabric --deploy-type multi-node --peer-node-ip 10.32.85.114 --virtual-ipv4 10.32.85.119
    2. Run the following command for visibility:
      source deployment.sh -I --deploy-suite packet --deploy-type multi-node --peer-node-ip 10.32.85.114 --virtual-ipv4 10.32.85.119
      Note

      Note

      Based on the requirements, provide additional parameters. For more information about commands and supported parameters, see ExtremeCloud Orchestrator Command Reference, 3.6.0 .

      The XCO installer begins in a series of dialog.

  5. Verify the installation.
    1. From the XCO command line, on the console or SSH session, run the sudo efactl status command to see the status of nodes, pods, and services.
    2. From the XCO command line, run the efa status command to ensure that all nodes are up.
  6. Verify the installation.
    1. From the XCO command line, run the sudo efactl status command to see the status of nodes, pods, and services.
    2. From the XCO command line, run the efa status command to ensure that all nodes are up.
