Sync EFA with Neutron

The OpenStack integration enables you to sync all entries from Neutron to EFA.

About this task

When EFA goes out of sync with Neutron configuration, execute efa-sync to sync all entries from Neutron to EFA. For example, if there is a network and associated ports that are present on Neutron but are not present on EFA, running efa-sync creates the entities on EFA. Similarly, if there are stale entries on EFA, they are cleaned up.

You can display summary or detailed information about entities that are out of sync between Neutron and EFA configurations.

Procedure

  1. Sync EFA with Neutron.
    $ efa-sync execute 
    Starting Sync
