Hi Guys,
There is weird issue with ISE
trying to do configuration backup via FTP(Filiezilla server) and its stuck @20% completed ,it stays at that for a long hours and manually need to abort it
on FTP server see that directory is listed however not sure why its not going beyond 20%!
Repository is configured with PATH "/" and repository name "FTP" with username & password on ISE
FTP server one folder with full RW access shared already (i have tested with one test machine to transfer file to this FTP server and its works with same dir)
So either services needs to be restarted which solved the issue I am not sure or is there any other things which i need check further kindly let me know
Debug copy 7 and Debug Transfer 7 doesn't shows much information except below & attached screen shot
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6732]:[error] transfer: cars_xfer.c[204] [system]: couldn't get repository Select Repository

You got an "ERROR READING REMOTE REPOSITORY" when you ran ise#show repository FTP, that is why I am saying you could have something misconfigured.
From ISE CLI your FTP configuration should be like the next:
****************************
repository BackupServer
url ftp://10.10.10.1/ ------------- > CHANGE BY YOUR PC IP, YOUR PC WOULD RUN THE FTP APP SIMULATING THE REMOTE REPO.
user backup password hash 09698v9650078245c9c94m58c8a3e77
****************************
Therefore, test the FTP Operation running the application locally on your PC and change the IP of the ISE Repository pointing to the PC (this change MUST be done using the ISE GUI NOT CLI)
If the FTP is working properly (locally on your PC as the remote repository), then you should get the following:
ISE/admin# show repository BackupServer
172_23_111_20_140112_2200.cfg
172_23_111_22_130221_2209.cfg
2ndcapture.cap
33332248.tif
98729128.Tif
AIR-CT5500-K9-7-0-230-0.aes
AIR-CT5500-K9-7-3-101-0.aes
CIN-WS208.ics
Ciscoworks_install_20101105_135802.zip
ise10_deploy.pdf
ise10_dis_deploy.pdf
ISE/admin#
In any case, check as well if you do not have a FW in the middle between the ISE and Remote Repository blocking the data transfer.
Depending on the size of your ISE DB the backup process could take easily 30-45 minutes.
One more thing, I am running 1.4.0.253 patch 6 as this one is very stable. I have no plan to upgrade into 2.0 or 2.1 because I experienced some issues during the beta test on 2.1 on which I was involved with Cisco.
