Automating/scripting C7000 OA and VC configuration backups

[JasonLL]

Yep, there are still lots of C7000s out there. I have a new requirement to run regular OA and VC configuration backups. I manage too many C7000s to do this manually and regularly (say weekly). I need to back up SHOW CONFIG output for both the OA and the VC. Does anyone have a way to capture this output and store it to SFTP server, SharePoint, a server folder (maybe as a scheduled task), etc?

P.S. - we are not using OneView. These are all managed through the OA and VCM.

Hello,

You may try the "Scripting Tools for Windows PowerShell: OA cmdlets", also refer to the "Scripting Tools for Windows PowerShell User Guide: OA Cmdlets v2.0 " and see if it is of assistance.

For more information on Scripting Tools for Windows PowerShell, you refer to the Scripting Tools for Windows PowerShell information library.

Thank you for your reply. I do see the Scripting User Guide documents a Get-HPEOAConfig cmdlet that I could use. I see nothing for the VC config though.

Would you know if there's a similar scripting tool for the VC?

I may also look into whether or not Putty could be automated to log in and captuer the SHOW CONFIG output for both. I know I can capture the output via Putty. Just not sure that both the login and capture can be automated.

Hello,

This option is available in OneView.

For VCM, please find the backup recommendation

Thanks.

Thank you for your response. I can certainly back up the VC config manually by logging in and capturing the config using a SHOW command. The question was more about how I might automate that process. Login, capture the SHOW CONFIG output, drop in somewhere (a folder, a SharePoint folder, etc.), on a schedule (e.g., weekly). I support too many C7000s to do this manually every week.

Hello,

The option for automatic backups is not available in VCM.

Thanks.
