Third Party Device Backup Issue

I have created a custom adapter for backing up a third party device.

Currently stuck at "Failed to Execute Script"

I can log in ok via IMC Telnet proxy but when I try the backup config there is no telnet activity in wireshark.

The backup log shows:

The scriptool file is deleted from the server/tmp folder so I am unable to view it.

The device itself records 3 login attempts, so not sure how this is happening as device only supports telnet and wireshark shows no telnet activity. I have removed SNMP write.

Based on the logs you showed, and the comment that the device is recording 3 login attempts, my guess is that it almost certainly *is* making a connection to the device, but that your Wireshark session is missing it, perhaps due to incorrect filters. E.g. wrong IP, or maybe you're filtering for Telnet, but it's using SSH.

And from the other logs, my guess is that it's trying to do a TFTP backup, but that's failing for some other reason - for example ACLs/firewalls stopping TFTP from the device to the iMC server.

If at all possible, I recommend rewriting your adapter to use SCP to retrieve the backup file.

Re: Third Party Device Backup Issue

I thought I captured the most important part of the log, but for me, what became important was the text prior to this as it showed the telnet session. At one point it showed the execution of the tftp command at login prompt.

There are a lot of unimportant errors in the log that you have to wade through to find what you're looking for.

In the end, I deleted the TCL files and created the most basic script, rather than using files from another vendor.

It;s now working.

Thanks for your help.
