Procedure

  1. On an active XCO or TPVM, change the password on standby TPVM.
    For example, 10.20.48.161 is a standby node and 10.20.48.162 is an active TPVM node.
    efa inventory device execute-cli --command "show running-config tpvm" --ip 10.20.48.161
efa inventory device execute-cli --command "tpvm TPVM, no trusted-peer" --config --ip 10.20.48.161
efa inventory device execute-cli --command "tpvm stop" --ip 10.20.48.161
efa inventory device execute-cli --command "tpvm TPVM, no password, password password" --config --ip 10.20.48.161
efa inventory device execute-cli --command "tpvm start" --ip 10.20.48.161
efa inventory device execute-cli --command "show running-config tpvm" --ip 10.20.48.161
  2. Wait and check for the efa status.
  3. Reboot the active TPVM (sudo reboot).
  4. Wait for the efa login to work.
    Note

    Note

    For standby node, the efa status will not be up.
  5. Change password on new standby TPVM. 
    efa inventory device execute-cli --command "show running-config tpvm" --ip 10.20.48.162
efa inventory device execute-cli --command "tpvm TPVM, no trusted-peer" --config --ip 10.20.48.162
efa inventory device execute-cli --command "tpvm stop" --ip 10.20.48.162
efa inventory device execute-cli --command "tpvm TPVM, no password, password password" --config --ip 10.20.48.162
efa inventory device execute-cli --command "tpvm start" --ip 10.20.48.162
efa inventory device execute-cli --command "show running-config tpvm" --ip 10.20.48.162
  6. Set trusted peer on any one or both the nodes. 
    efa inventory device execute-cli --command "tpvm TPVM, trusted-peer ip 10.20.55.182 password password" --config --ip 10.20.48.162
efa inventory device execute-cli --command "tpvm TPVM, trusted-peer ip 10.20.55.183 password password" --config --ip 10.20.48.161
