Regarding GSS script

[mayilrajsmm]

Hi,

Could you help us to write a script in Cisco GSS.

We would like to know if running script from DB server it can activate and suspend of answer group instances.

Thanks

Hi Mohan,

For this, assuming that your DB server is running linux/solaris, I would recommend a "expect" script that connects to the GSS through telnet/ssh and runs the commands you need to suspend/activate the answer groups.

Hi,

Yes, you are correct, We could like to write a script that execute from server and switch over to instance in the Cisco GSS.

Could you help me write standard template.

Thanks

Hi Mohan,

Here is a simple script that will telnet into the GSS and go into config mode. You can modify it easily to make changes to the configuration.

To execute it from a linux host, you just need to run "expect "

set force_conservative 0
if {$force_conservative} {
        set send_slow {1 .1}
        proc send {ignore arg} {
                sleep .1
                exp_send -s -- $arg
        }
}
set timeout 8
spawn /bin/bash
match_max 100000
send -- "telnet \r"
expect {
        "login: " {
                send -- "admin\r"
                expect -exact "Password:"
                send -- "\r"
                expect ">"
                send -- "enable\r"
                expect -exact "Password:"
                send -- "\r"
                expect "#"
                send -- "config t\r"
                expect "(config)#"
                send -- "exit\r"
                expect "#"
                send -- "exit\r"
        }
}
