Failed to obtain the device version

[vineeth-46058]

Hello,

we are getting the following error for device cisco ASA5515

Failed to obtain the device version. backup failed.

Remove SNMP read-write settings from that device.

Check credentials. 

Check file transfer method + login type.

What does the Device Capability List show for that device?

Check logs - there's a couple of things to check here http://community.hpe.com/t5/IMC/Backup-Config-Cisco-ASA/td-p/6858234

SNMP was already set for Read-Only Community String.

credentials was good and working.

Transfer mode was TFTp and login type was ssh.

now the problem is half sloved we can backup for Running Configuration but it fails for Startup Configuration with same error "Failed to obtain the device version".

[LindsayHill]

What happens if you change the file transfer type to SCP? (And enable SCP on the ASA)

[vineeth-46058]

Even we tried with SCP still i get an error Failed to obtain the device version.

Use SCP + SSH.

Check the sysObjectID for that device - is it listed in the CiscoASA section of <imc>/server/conf/adapters/ICC/Cisco/adapter-index.xml

[vineeth-46058]

we tried with SCP +SSH still it's same. please find the attached file.

What does the Device Capabilities list show for that device?
