Usage Guidelines
Ensure you perform the following operations before running this command:
- Run the efa inventory device register --ip
<list-of-device-ips> command.
- Run the efa inventory device interface list --ip
<device-ip> command. In the output of the command, verify
that the states of the port links are as you expected (in the Admin Status
and Oper Status fields). If not, manually check the physical cabling and fix
any issues. Then continue with the efa fabric device
add-bulk operation.
If you provide a user name and password, devices are automatically registered with the
inventory service.
If you do not provide a user name and password, you must explicitly register the
devices with the inventory service.
A single “three-stage-pod” and “five-stage-pod” can be provided each time you run the
command.
