EEM support on Active/Active HA pair

sylviosk
Visitor

Hi all,

 

sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, doing a quick search I didn't find anything.

Does anyone know if EEM is supported on Active/Active HA pairs? We run version 9.8(2)17 and I don't see the commands available. I have tried running the "event" command both at system context space as well as on one of the two configured contexts but it seems it is not available.

 

What I need to do is configure automatic scheduled backup using the "backup" command and an event applet but since the "event manager applet" command set is not available I am unable to do it.

 

If EEM is not supported on Active/Active pairs, is there any other way I could configure automatic backups?

 

Below is the CLI logs.

Requirements

The use of EEM requires that the ASA is configured in single context mode.

Thank you very much for the reply. Would be great if you could share any link to Cisco documentation supporting this.

Also do you have any suggestion on how we could configure automatic scheduled backups for multiple-context ASAs?

 

Thanks

I do have script it run on Linux Debian, login each context and get the config back up as cron job in Linux

if you looking full dump, show tech and get output and sort on Linux.

 

This is one good example you can look and tweak as per your requirement.
