Install EFA on TPVM

You can install EFA on a TPVM in a single-node deployment.

The EFA tar must be available on the /efaboot partition of the SLX device. You need root access to the device.

EFA on TPVM is supported only on the SLX 9150 and SLX 9250 platforms.

Verify that the TPVM is set up for an EFA deployment.
1. Validate that the TPVM is running version 4.0.0 and that SLX-OS is running with at least the minimum requirements.
```
# show tpvm status
# show version
# lsb_release -a
```
2. Validate that the TPVM has an assigned IP address.
```
# show tpvm ip-address
```
3. Validate that the SSH keys are uploaded.
```
# show tpvm status
```
4. Validate that passwordless access is configured.
```
# show tpvm status
```
5. Confirm NTP on the TPVM.
```
# tpvm config ntp add server <ip>
```
6. Validate that NTP is synchronized.
```
# show tpvm config ntp 
```
7. If necessary, log in to TPVM and configure the NTP time zone.
```
# sudo timedatectl set-timezone your_time_zone
```
Enter SLX Linux mode.
```
# start-shell
# cd /efaboot
```
Copy the EFA tar file to the SLX device.
```
# scp <efa-bundle>
```
Deploy EFA on TPVM from the SLX shell.
```
device# efa deploy
```
When prompted, ensure that you select single-node and either secure or standard mode. For more information, see EFA Installation Modes.
Verify the status of the installation.
```
# show efa status
```
