ExtremeCloud Orchestrator Deployment Guide

Download the XCO tar file and the related digests file to a Linux server. Use these files to transfer the tar file to the SLX as a remote host.

```bash
remote-server$ ls
efa-3.2.0-digests.tar.gz  efa-3.2.0.tar.gz

Verify the PGP signature as described in article 48172 on the Extreme Portal.

Verify that the SLX-OS version, SSH keys, and passwordless access configuration are correct for the TPVM via the SLX console or SSH.

For the supported version information, see Supported Platforms and Deployment Models for Fabric Skill.

Enter SLX Linux mode and transfer the tarball to the SLX using SCP.

SLX# start-shell
    device$ scp user@remote-server:~/builds/efa/efa-3.2.0.tar.gz /efaboot/

To deploy XCO on TPVM from the SLX shell, run the efa deploy command.

If multiple XCO tarballs are present in the /efaboot/ directory, choose a target version of XCO to install from the version selection menu.

Note

From SLX version 20.4.1 and above, a new install or upgrade of XCO on TPVM in a single-node deployment displays the following warning banner:

SLX# efa deploy

Use arrow keys to move between options. Press the space bar to select an option.

When prompted, select the IP mode (IPv4 single stack, or Dual ip-stack) and OK.

Tip

Use arrow keys to move between options. Press the space bar to select an option.

When prompted to configure additional management IP networks, take one of the following steps.

Select No to ignore this optional step or when you have finished entering sub-interface information.
Select Yes and then provide the following information when prompted.
- Sub-interface name, which is a unique name that contains no more than 11 characters, no white space, and no % or / characters.
- ID of the VLAN that the management network uses to tag traffic. Valid values range from 2 through 4093.
- IP subnet address for IPv4 mode or IPv6 subnet address for IPv6 mode in CIDR format. The subnet must not overlap with any IP subnet that you have already provided.
- In Dual mode, an IPv6 address is optional, but an IPv4 address is mandatory.
As the installation proceeds, messages display showing the installation progress.

Verify the installation.

On the SLX device, run the show efa status command to see details of the installation and the state of services.
From the EFA command line on the TPVM console or SSH session, run the sudo efactl status command to see the status of nodes, pods, and services.
Ensure that all the containers are in the `Running` state.

Run the efa status command for the status information.

Ensure that the status of all the nodes are up.
