backup command fails
I have 2 pairs of HP switchs configured in IRF's respectively: 2x 5900 and 2x 7510
On the 5900, I login via SSH and issue this command:
backup startup-configuration to 10.30.200.69
and as expected the configuration is backed up to my tftp server.
The same command on my 7510 switch results in an error:
"Backup Failed, tftp error."
This used to work, but every since I installed IMC it has stopped working, and I can't find a change in the configuration that is causing this.
Any insight would be appreciated!
MJ

Re: backup command fails when using VRF
I have some additional information:
to ping the TFTP server, i need to specify a vpn-instance interface. If i do that, a PING will succeed.
The following command also will work:
tftp 10.30.200.69 put config.cfg vpn-instance MGMT_VPN
so my new, updated question is this:
is there a way to specify a default vpn-instance when doing tftp / management things?

Re: backup command fails when using VRF
Hi,
You cannot set a custom default vpn-instance (the default is the public routing table - which is the first vpn-instance).
The backup command is just a simpified tftp command, so it assumes the public routing table.
From IMC, I know it is possible under the ICC options to set a vpn-instance, so when IMC runs a backup script on the device, it will use that vpn-instance name to execute the backup, so that may help you.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,Peter

Re: backup command fails when using VRF
Hi,
I just managed to run this in the lab and it worked, so I can confirm the IMC vpn-instance configuration is working.
You need to configure it under the configuration center - options - vpn-instance.
Device configuration example (HP VSR)
ip vpn-instance mgmt
route-distinguisher 65000:0
#
interface GigabitEthernet1/0
ip binding vpn-instance mgmt
ip address 10.0.1.3 255.255.255.0
#
acl number 2001 name mgmt
rule 5 permit vpn-instance mgmt source 10.0.1.100 0
#
snmp-agent community write private acl 2001
snmp-agent community read public acl 2001
snmp-agent target-host trap address udp-domain 10.0.1.100 vpn-instance mgmt params securityname public v2c
#
telnet server enable
telnet server acl 2001
#
Attached an image of the IMC ICC configuration.
Hope this helps,
best regards,Peter.
