Verify the Running System and Services

After any of the following scenarios, wait 10 minutes for EFA micro-services to be operational before you run EFA commands.

Powering on the OVA
Rebooting the OVA
Rebooting the TPVM
Rebooting the SLX (which also reboots the TPVM)
Rebooting the server on which the EFA is installed

You can use various commands and scripts to verify the status of the EFA system, to help troubleshoot, and to view details of EFA nodes, PODs, and services.

Verify the K3s installation in a TPVM.

Run the show efa status command from the SLX command prompt.

device# show efa status

	pod/rabbitmq-1                  1/1     	Running   0         4m51s

Output varies by type of deployment, such as single-node or multi-node, and the services that are installed.

View details of EFA nodes, PODs, and services.

Run the efa status command.

On a multi-node installation:

$ efa status
+-----------+---------+--------+
| Node Name | Role    | Status |
+-----------+---------+--------+
| tpvm      | active  | up     |
+-----------+---------+--------+
| tpvm2     | standby | up     |
+-----------+---------+--------+
--- Time Elapsed: 2.318350499s ---

On a single-node installation:

$ efa status
+-----------+---------+--------+
| Node Name | Role    | Status |
+-----------+---------+--------+
| tpvm      | active  | up     |
+-----------+---------+--------+
--- Time Elapsed: 2.224282775s ---

These examples show only a few of all possible rows of detail.

Verify that all PODs are in a running state.

Run the k3s kubectl get pods -n efa command.

# k3s kubectl get pods -n efa

In a multi-node installation, only the pods on the active node are in "Running" status.

Verify the status of the Authentication service.

Run the systemctl status hostauth.service script.

$ systemctl status hostauth.service
hostauth.service - OS Auth Service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/hostauth.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Restart a service using the efactl restart-service <service-name> command.
Identify the active node that serves as the database for Kubenetes clusters.
1. Run the ip addr show command from all nodes.
2. Verify that on one of the Ethernet interfaces, the virtual IP address shows up as the secondary IP address.
