Re: Configure weekly backup for RSP in CMC

Hi Thomas,

 

I'm not clear on what you are trying to do.  Are you just trying to schedule a weekly backup of the Steelhead VMs or trying to back them up to the CMC itself? The backups are only on the Steelhead.

 

For the weekly/repeated backup, the functionality isn't currently in the CMC.  It can be done immediately or one time at some future date.  You can create the recurring job on the SH itself.  You could also push the CLI commands out to the Steelheads if everything is the same.

 

job 99 name "RSP weekly backup"

job 99 command 1 "rsp slot 1 backup create"

job 99 date-time 02:00:00 2011/12/24

job 99 recurring 604800

job 99 enable

 

I'm using job 99 in the example here since I don't know if any of your SHs already have jobs on them and it's likely none of them have anything high numbered.  If you have a VM in slot 1 on all of the machines then you can push this out to all of those SHs.  If you have different slots on different SHs then you need to push a set of commands out with the correct slot for each group of SHs using that slot.

 

Also note that you are likely to fill up the RSP partition by backing up directly to the SH.  You really want to back it up to some remote server - after all, what good is the backup if the SH fails?  In that case, use the following command as your guide:

 

job 99 command 1 "rsp slot 1 backup create remote ftp://user:password@10.10.10.10/path/to/backup/"

 

You can also use scp:// instead of ftp.

Configure weekly backup for RSP in CMC

Hallo to all,

 

I tried to set up a weekly backup on our CMC for all Riverbed RSP systems. Unfortunately I can't find them on CMC.

Is it generally possible?
