DCNM 6.x - Backup Nexus configuration

[MathieuJM_2]

Hi,

I'm busy on configuring the backup of the configuration from Nexus switches 5K and 7K.

I have installed COPSSH on my windows server and try to confiugre the sftp credentials.

I have the following error:

Verification failed to back up file from 'ip_address'.

Please see Admin>Logs>Web Report

In the Web report i have :

N5K#

2012.12.05 15:03:31  INFO  [FM.WebReport] Remote copy failed.  copy bootflash:ip_address-121205-150329-TEST sftp://SvcCOPSSH@ip_address/ip_address-121205-150329-TEST   vrf management

Failed to back up file from 'ip_address': Please see web reports logs

I have tested from the CLI from the switch and i have the issue but if i use the default vrf 'default' it works fine.

How can i change the command sent by DCNM to the Nexus in order to specify vrf default and not vrf management ?

Cheers

Hi guys, I have the same problem with four nexus 5596up, but with others 5548 it works fine with TFTP, by you use sftp need to have a License that its called FM_SERVER, only for SAN environment, if someone can resolved this issue i really want to share with us this solution

best regards

In the past releases these issues are fixed. Now DCNM will be able to take backup through default or management vrf's.
