Rollback the EFA Upgrade

About this task

Rollback the EFA upgrade when there is a upgrade failure. After the rollback, EFA operates in the previous state by canceling the upgrade.
Note

Note

  • Ensure that the minimum EFA version is 2.7.0 and above and the minimum SLX version is 20.4.1 and above.
  • Ensure that the minimum disk space is 2GB on each SLX TPVM partition. Log in to SLX as a root user and run the following command:
    [root@SLX-1]# df -h
    Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/root        16G  4.6G   11G  32% /

Procedure

Deploy EFA with rollback.
efa deploy nographics with-rollback slx-peer-ip <ip-address> slx-peer-user <user name> slx-peer-password <password>
When you use the with-rollback option, the following parameters are required:
  • slx-peer-ip - SLX IP, which hosts peer TPVM
  • slx-peer-user - SLX user, which hosts peer TPVM
  • slx-peer-password - SLX password, which hosts peer TPVM

Example

Following is an example of a deployment with rollback option:
efa deploy nographics with-rollback slx-peer-ip 10.20.54.62 slx-peer-user admin slx-peer-password password
Step 1: Get IP Address assigned to TPVM to deploy EFA  10.20.63.128.
Step 2: Checking for EFA packages in /efaboot directory
1. /efaboot/efa-2.7.2-32.tar.gz
2. /efaboot/efa-2.7.2-31.tar.gz
Enter option: 1
