Bulk configuration backup and command output using script (perl or batch)

Hi,
Can you please guide me how to run a script to get configuration backup, and/or running a particular command on multiple devices in one go and then get the output in a text file?
It would be very nice, if you could give me a sample (containing the perl/batch configuration, and the step by step on how) to get output of "show version" from multiple (only IOS based) devices....
regards,
Mohsin

I think this site can get you started. It has the scripts that can do what you want

How are Windows Server Backup and Command Line Tools used in vCSHB installation?

How are Windows Server Backup and Command Line Tools used during the installation of vCSHB? Is it required in all types of deployments (PtoV, VtoV, PtoP)? Is it used to create the files that are put in the file share for the second node to use during vCSHB installation or is it only used during a vCSHB clone operation of a Physical to Physical deployment? Are these tools not used in some deployments?

You need Windows Server Backup installed on source and destination, and during the installation of vCSHB the installer will invoke the wbadmin (Windows Server Backup Utility) and will backup configuration and application data (application data is optimal but can decrease the sync time after installation of secondary node). On the secondary node you will need only run the vCSHB installer and everything will be restored.
Check this blog entry for some more info about some problems in P2P deployment: http://www.vcoportal.de/2013/12/vmware-vcenter-server-heartbeat-restore-on-a-second-node-a-journey/

Backup SQL Agent Jobs - whats the difference between "create to" and "drop to" using "script job as"?

Hi,
This should be straightforward, but being new to SQL Server 2008, can someone advise the difference between "create to" and "drop to" using "script job as"?
Thanks
IT Support/Everything

hello,
"CREATE TO" create a CREATE statement for the job, e.g. to execute this script on a other server to create the same job there.
"DROP TO" means you get a script to delete an existing job.

Cisco NCS configuration backup and restore of WLC issues found

Hi,
I recently tested the process for a customer of defaulting a Cisco WLC to factory configuration and then restoring the configuration from Cisco NCS. It was not seamless to say the least and I wonder if I have just gone about it the wrong way.
Have have set the NCS platform to configuration sync with the 5508 controllers at 04:00 every day and prior to the controller defaulting I ensured that NCS also reported that the config was in sync.
I have also set NCS to complete a tftp backup of the controller every night 23:00 - interestingly though I have no idea where this is stored on the NCS platform ( a VM appliance ) or what it's filename is.
Anyway my experiences where as follows:-
1. defaulted WLC and via serial CLI ended up at the configuration wizard.
2. Set the correct LAG, management IP, hostname that NCS knew this controller by.
3. To test things just created a dummy WLAN ( SSID ) as I assumed this would be overwritten ( big mistake ! ).
At this point I connected the controller to the network and tried to restore the configuration from the config sync version.
First problem - you have to remember to set up the SNMP community string you were using as it is needed by the configuration sync process. After adding this to the controller I could push the configuration to the controller.
Second problem - failed to add the first WLAN from the backup as I have added the temporary dummy WLAN via the wizard and NCS reported a conflict. So had to delete WLAN ID 1 from the WLC GUI directly and then the config push no longer reported this error.
Third problem - for some reason did not add the TACACS server details - reported the error that it could not added them. I manually added these via a template via NCS and all was well.
Fourth problem - all but the first WLAN was in the disabled state - had to re-enable all of the WLANs
Fifth problem - any default items I had disabled or removed have not been saved - therefore I have removed the public and private SNMP communities - but these were still on the WLC after the restore. I have disabled unused ports not in the LAG as they show an error in NCS - these where not disabled after the restore.
So all in all not a very satisfactory restore process from NCS to an defaulted WLC ( ment to simulate to the customer what would be needed if they had to replace a controller due to hardware failure ).
So - anybody like to comment on what I did wrong - is there a different / better way of achieving this ??
Regards
Robert

Hello Robert,
all the tasks you did seem to be fine for me.
I was also wondering the process os restoring from NCS controller configuration backups ...
If anyone else could give another method with less drawbacks, that would be appreciated, but i doubt about it.

Can I use the Time Capsule strictly for system backup and continue to use my Airport Extreme for all my wireless needs

I want to use the Apple Time Capsule as an external drive and continue to use my Airport Extreme for all my wireless needs. Can I do that? The reason I ask is that my Time Machine utility cannot find the TIme Capsule - it only shows me the Airport Extreme, even when I "Rescan". SO I am unable to use the Time Capsule.

You will need to connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
Perform a "hard reset" on the Time Capsule by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds, then give it another minute to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule, and click Manual Setup
Click the Time Capsule tab located below the row of icons to assign a name to the Time Capsule, a device password, and adjust Time Zone settings.
Next, click the Wireless tab located to the right of the Time Capsule tab
Change the setting for Wireless Mode to Off
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update at the lower right to save the settings and allow 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
You are all set

Setting drag and drop components using script

Hi,
Is there a way to set the drag object name and target name of
the Drag and Drop component using actionscript? I have looked
through the help files and there is no mention of how to do this. I
cannot find any methods relating to the Learning Interactions
either. Can this be done or am I trying to do something that Flash
is not capable of?
The reason I wish to do this is so I can retrofit the D&D
component into existing code. The existing code generates new
object/target pairs and stores them in an array. I need to be able
to read these values and plug them into the component at runtime.
Any ideas?
TIA
Colin

How to configure Time Capsule for Automatic Backup AND HARD DRIVE USE

I tried to configure Time Capsule for back up and as a hard drive. I record music and need to copy the music myself onto an external hard drive for speed, so I want the TC to double as an external hard drive, and do the back up. I want to be able to open the TC as a hard drive, to open my songs from it. Can it do both?

I finally figured it out. I am able to access my TC from the "shared folder." When I click on it, I get the "connection failed message." I failed to notice the login button in the upper right -- user error due to my Windows based education. The button is very subtle. Once I login, I can create folders and add content.
I didn't see a partition option. Where is that? Just curious.
Thanks!

Help needed extracting information from command output using sed

I want to be able to pipe the output of:
playerctl metadata
into sed and extract only the relevant information. I have a working knowledge of regular expressions but I'm not how to get sed to only output the matched text. For reference, this is an example output of the playerctl command:
{'mpris:artUrl': <'http://open.spotify.com/thumb/ddf652a13affe3346b8f65b3a92bd3abfdbf7eca'>, 'mpris:length': <uint64 290000000>, 'mpris:trackid': <'spotify:track:0xqi1uFFyefvTWy0AEQDJ7'>, 'xesam:album': <"Smokey's Haunt">, 'xesam:artist': <['Urthboy']>, 'xesam:autoRating': <0.23000000000000001>, 'xesam:contentCreated': <'2012-01-01T00:00:00'>, 'xesam:discNumber': <1>, 'xesam:title': <'On Your Shoulders'>, 'xesam:trackNumber': <6>, 'xesam:url': <'spotify:track:0xqi1uFFyefvTWy0AEQDJ7'>}%
I'm trying to get the track name and artist name and combine them into one string. Perhaps sed isn't the tool for the job but I'm not really sure what else to try. Any help is very appreciated.

If that was valid json, which it doesn't appear to be, you could use jshon to query it.
Are you sure that is the exact output of the command? It looks sort of off...
In the meatime, this is pretty hacky:
awk 'BEGIN { RS=","; FS="'\''" }; /artist/ { artist = $4 }; /title/ { title = $4 } END { print artist": "title }' file
