Upgrade EFA in a Single-node Deployment

Expect the upgrade process to take approximately 8 minutes, during which EFA services are down but users or automated systems can continue to make calls into EFA.

About this task

The upgrade process backs up the EFA system, so that you can easily recover data if the upgrade fails. For more information, see Recover from an Upgrade Failure.

Procedure

Download the image (*.tar.gz) to a new sub-folder.
Untar the image.
```

```
Verify the PGP signature as described in article 48172 on the Extreme Portal.
Change to the EFA directory.
```
device# cd efa
```
Run the deployment script.
```
device# source deployment.sh
```
When prompted, select Upgrade or Redeploy.
The upgrade proceeds. Messages describe the progress and indicate when the upgrade is complete.
Verify the status of EFA after the upgrade.
```
device# efactl status
