I looking for script in github/Extreme and i found it but i don't understand how can run it on XIQ Site Ingine

Hi,

How to import the script = https://extreme-networks.my.site.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000091050&q=What-directory-do-you-put-custom-device-type-scripts-Inventory-Manger

How to select the script to be used = https://emc.extremenetworks.com/content/oneview/docs/network/devices/docs/c_ov_at_firmware_mib_config.html

you need to define CLI credentials and method (SSH/Telnet) for your HP switch

Then you start the backup.

If it does not work, you need to enable debug and check what/where is failing.

Good luck

Right click on the switch you want to backup, then Archives->Inventory settings, and check if you are using correct script
Obviously I just give you example. You may check if the script is good for your purpose. Also you may change the script to different one.

Also please go to:

ExtremeScripting/XMC_XIQ-SE/cfg_backup_scripts at master · extremenetworks/ExtremeScripting · GitHub

And browse for already created scripts. You have also a link to document on how to install those scripts.

After you have all correctly defined you may manually backup the switch by using right click, then Archives -> Backup configuration. It will then create on demand backup.
To schedule you need to go to Archives tab, then click button "Create" on the bottom. Go through the wizard and on on step 3 you'd be asked for "Frequency"

How can restore backup from other device?

The IP address is part of the backup, so be careful.

You can clone the config, right click on device > Archives > Restore Configuration > Clone > only devices of the same type can be selected:

Good luck
