Nexus 7010 RollBack

[robert.horrigan]

Hi,

Can someone help me with the exact syntax for a scheduled roll back command.  I do not have any 7Ks in a lab but would like to perform a scheduled rollback while making remote changes in case they take down the system.  Any assistance is much appreciated.

Hi Rober,

Are you still looking for the exact command syntax ?

If so, I would be able to provide that.

Let me know some additional information.

- NX-OS version

- What is the name of your checkpoint or file from which you want retrive configuration ?

- What time you like it to starts ? Is it one-time, daily, weekly or monthly task ?

Regards,

Kimihito.

Kimihito,

Yes please, and thanks.

NXOS version 5.0(3)

Checkpoint file: test

Time to start is one time only - any random time.

I basically want to schedule a checkpoint return prior to making any large change - i.e. removing a route, shutting down critical interfaces, etc.

Thank you very much,

Rob

Hello Robert,

Here is the output I just performed in my lab.

NXOS_503# checkpoint test

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

TEST(config-job)# exit
TEST(config)# scheduler schedule name ROLLBACK <--- Define a scheduler
TEST(config-schedule)# job name JOB <--- Set the job you defined above
TEST(config-schedule)# time start 2011:Apr:18:14:40 <--- The time the CLI to be executed. Should be yyyy:mmm:dd:HH:MM or +dd:HH:MM

Please let me know if you have other tasks to schedule. I can provide as well.

If above fullfills all the things you need, and you find this helpful, please rate me :-)

Kimihito.

the feature needs to be enabled:

(config)# feature scheduler

Hi guys.  I found this forum while searching the internet.  I too am looking for a solution to set a scheduled rollback, but with NX-OS version 6.2x.  

I find all the right syntax with checkpoint and rollback commands, except for a way to schedule a rollback!

I tried entering the scheduler job mode as suggested above, but it tells me invalid command.

Thanks for any help.

Andy

conf t

feature scheduler

end

That should activate it.  It's not on by default.
