How to backup XOS with Netsight Inventory Manager

[Ronald_Dvorak]

How could I backup my XOS X440 v15.7.1.4 with Netsight Inventroy Manager 6.2.0.199.

I can't get it to work with SNMPv1 / telnet.
IM is set to Script/Controlled by Device Type/Extreme OS - SCP (VR-Default)

Thanks,
Ron

There are some basic alarms in Inventory Manager. In the archive, if a device has failed to backup there usually is an exclamation warning symbol.

In a deeper dive sense, is to turn up logging (Should only do temporarily). There are a few different diagnostics that can be turned up.

The ones that are useful in this particular case would be: Inventory Manager, Inventory Manager Script, Telnet/SSH command Shell.

Daniel, I've tried it with my lab X430 and it's working now.
I'd need to verify it also with the customers hardware and Netsight.

Thanks for your help.
Is there some kind of log available in Netsight that show more information if something is going wrong with the configuration backup ?

Thx,
Ron

Ronald,

A couple of things to check:
Did you do a run update after loading the ssh xmod or did you reboot the switch?

The command show management will show you if the SSH module is loaded or not. It does not matter if a key has been generated or not.

If the ssh module is not loaded, the scp2 command will not be available.

Are you using the correct script?

There are two versions, one that tries to reach the NetSight server through virtual router VR-Mgmt and one that tries to reach it through virtual router VT-Default.

You can troubleshoot this by issuing the following commands from the CLI:

XOS1.4 # save config test
Do you want to save configuration to test.cfg? (y/N) Yes
Saving configuration on master Node .. done!
Configuration saved to test.cfg successfully.

The current selected default configuration database to boot up the system
(primary.cfg) is different than the one just saved (test.cfg).
Do you want to make test.cfg the default database? (y/N) No
Default configuration database selection cancelled.
XOS1.5 # scp2 vr "VR-Mgmt" test.cfg root@192.168.10.2:primary.cfg
Upload /config/test.cfg to
ssh: connect to host 192.168.10.2 port 22: Network is unreachable
XOS1.6 # scp2 vr "VR-Default" test.cfg root@192.168.10.2:test.cfg
Upload /config/test.cfg to
root@192.168.10.2's password:
Connected to 192.168.10.2.

I've installed the ssh image on the XOS but it doesn't work.

I'm a little bit disappointed by the XOS "integration" in v6.2.
