Upgrade EFA in a Multi-node Deployment

With EFA 2.3.0 and later, you can upgrade EFA in a multi-node, high-availability deployment.

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

   device# tar -xfz efa-v2.x.x.tar.gz

3. Verify the PGP signature as described in article 48172 on the Extreme Portal.
4. Change to the EFA directory.
   

   device# cd efa

5. Run the deployment script.
   

   device# source deployment.sh

   The EFA Installer begins in a series of dialogs.

6. When prompted, select Upgrade or Redeploy.
7. When prompted to configure additional IP addresses for a health check, take one of the following steps.
   • Select Yes and then provide the IP addresses.
   • Select No to ignore this optional step.
8. When prompted to configure additional management IP networks, take one of the following steps.
   • Select Yes and then provide the following information when prompted. Repeat as often as necessary.
     • Sub-interface name, which is a unique name that contains no more than 11 characters, no white space, and no % or / characters.
     • ID of the VLAN that the management network uses to tag traffic. Valid values range from 2 through 4093.
     • IP subnet address in CIDR format. The subnet must not overlap with any IP subnet that you have already provided.
   • Select No to ignore this optional step or when you have finished entering sub-interface information.
   The upgrade proceeds. Messages describe the progress and indicate when EFA is deployed.
9. Verify the upgrade.
   1. On the SLX device, run the show efa status command to see details of the installation and the state of services.
   2. From the EFA command line, run the efactl status command to see the status of nodes, pods, and services.
