Installing TPVM

The TPVM package is available separately from the SLX-OS software, and may be downloaded from the SLX-OS Release Server. This decoupling enables faster turnaround on enhancements and bug fixes, while reducing the file size of the SLX-OS distribution. (Prior to SLX-OS 18r.2.00, the TPVM package was released in conjunction with the SLX-OS packages.)

Important

The installation is disruptive, and any data saved on the TPVM partition is erased. You must save any data manually before executing the tpvm install command.

Please also note:

The TVPM package must be downloaded to the device prior to starting the installation.
The TPVM package is generated at the following path:
<slxos release dir>/SWBD2900/tpvm-3.0.0-0.amd64.deb

The following table lists the TPVM package names and locations for relevant SLX-OS releases.
