NimbostratusIs it possible to run [ tmsh save /sys config file ] where [file] is a remote directory?
For example instead of running -
tmsh save /sys config file backup.scf
I could run -
tmsh save /sys config file user@server/f5/backup/backup.scf
That way I could have backups stored and distributed centrally?
Cheers, Oli
NoctilucentNo. There is no option to store backup/ucs file in remote server.
NimbostratusYou still need to save the configuration file locally, so you have latest updated configuration file
you could use iCall to schedule the backup to remote location, you need to use ssh-keygen to generate ssh key for remote host to trust.
CirrusNot sure if tmsh would support the scp over. Would be interested in finding this out however. Otherwise you could always remote it over after saving said configuration.
MVPThe easy way would be to go with a bash script and run it on cron if you want automated. But to send the file to some remote server passwordless [article], you would need SSH Key exchange done to avoid password prompt.
!/bin/bash
tmsh save /sys config file backup.scf.$(date +%Y%m%d)
scp /path/to/backup.scf.$(date +%Y%m%d)user@server/f5/backup/backup.scf.$(date +%Y%m%d)
