Using LMS 3.2 to backup Generation 2 License files

Hi,
  Can LMS3.2 be used to backup license files for gen two routers and switches?  If not, is there another product that does it?  How about LMS 4.0?  I believe I can manually back up these files to a local FTP server, but I would like an automated proccess.
Thanks

LMS does not handle these automatically, but you could use Netconfig to automate the backup.  You could build a Netconfig job that copies the license files off to an FTP server, then deploy that job across all your ISRs.  This will work in LMS 3.2 and 4.0.
You will need to create a user-defined template in Netconfig or just use the Adhoc template.  The job needs to run in Enable mode (vs. Config mode).  The FTP command will be interactive, so you'll need to use something like:
copy flash:/file.lic ftp://username:[email protected]

  • On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture.  How can I access the Aperture Library  on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup?  I can only access the application but not the library..

    On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture.  How can I access the Aperture Library  on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup?  I can only access the application but not the library..

    Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
    If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
    If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

  • How do I transfer itunes music to my iphone 4 without using the restore from this backup function?

    How do I transfer itunes music to my iphone 4 without using the restore from this backup function?  I cannot use the back up function as have been advised that therer are bugs in it and restoring it back to my phone will bring the bugs with it and phone will be back to apple again as will start playing up again.  But I need the music.  Whn I plug it in laptop and go to itunes icon it gives me 2 options:  Set up as new iphone? OR Restore from backup.
    Do I pick set up as new phone?  I dont know as the guy at the genius bar told me there would be an option asking if i want to sync itunes only...but there isn't.

    Set up as New and then... Re-Sync your Content from iTunes.

  • Can I use the time capsule as backup and hard disk at the same time?

    Hi.
    I want to buy a time capsule.
    I wondered, if I can use the time capsule as backup (over time machine) and as a hard disk at the same time?
    If I buy the 2TB time capsule, I wanted to use 1TB for the backup and 1TB for hard disk.
    Is this possible?
    Best wishes
    Sophie

    It is not recommended.. the problem being anything stored on the TC only is not backed up and cannot be backed up by the TC itself or Time Machine. So what are you going to do about back.. the TC can and do die suddenly.. and the cost of recovery can be huge.
    See Q3 here for the semi-right way to do it if you must.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    You can plug a USB drive into the TC and use that for files.. but note, its speed is poor.. fine for wireless as wireless is even slower but you will really notice it if you expect the drive to be as fast as the internal.. it will be a fraction of the internal drive speed. 1/2 write and 1/3 read aprox.

  • Using LMS to extract VRF name as a variable from device config to deploy VRF name in additional configuration

    Using LMS is there a way to run a job which would extract the VRF name in part of the configuration and then use it as a variable to deploy additional configuration using the VRF name. We have a number of management VRF's and need to deploy a mass configuration change on a number of devices.

    I am working for a service provider and I was given a task to configure more than 50000 devices (!). First I started with VBS and some scriptable terminal application, but it was too complicated to handle that much data. I then decided to develop my own application dedicated to device mass-configuration. As I understand your question, you may also find it useful : http://www.prettygoodterminal.com

    I have an iMac 2013 running OSX 10.9.4. I want to use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup user files to an external hard drive to free up space on my iMack Hard drive.
    So, say I make the backup today, delete iphoto libraries from my iMac, and then backup my iMac in a week. What happens to the iphoto libraries that are on the external backup drive now that I am backing up the iMac where they no longer exist?
    I will have them backed up to a separate second external drive as well.
    I'm just very cautious about removing them from the hard drive.
    Thanks for helping and understanding my crazy caution!

    I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.
    That is fine and recommended.. use the fastest disk you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2.
    In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.
    Let me be clear.. you want to partition the one disk.. use it for TM and move your files to the external disk.. and then backup to the same disk.. You can do it.. but that is not a backup.. that is an experiment in how long you can get away with running files and backups on the same disk before you lose everything.. like Russian Roulette.. pull the trigger enough times and laws of probability will do you in.
    You must have backups on a different disk .. otherwise it is pointless.
    Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
    No.. you can buy special USB and Thunderbolt external drives that support RAID..
    BUT that is still not a backup.. let me show why.. you make a silly move and corrupt your file in aperture.. it is not that rare.
    Raid will corrupt all copies of the files.. it is replicated across all disks.
    Delete a photo it is deleted across all disks.. you have no recovery.
    Alway, always consider RAID system one disk.. backup onto another disk.. and if the photos or movies are at all important to you.. ie your family .. make another copy and store in a relatives house.. There is no such thing as too much redundancy.

  • Can I use my IPad as a backup for my IMac instead of an external hard drive?

    I'm wondering if I can use my iPad as a backup for my iPad instead of an external hard drive?

    As your question says backup for your iMac I assume that is what you mean, as opposed to what is in the text. The iPad doesn't have a disk mode, and you can only copy onto it content that is supported by the apps that you've got. So personally I'd say no - external hard drives are easier to use as a backup and are a lot cheaper

  • I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup.

    I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup. (which I now know was wrong). However, when time machine tried to restore it said there was not enough room to do a backup. It seems that it did a half backup because some essential  files such as system profiler are now missing. Can I undo this restore...? What can I do to fix this

    You need to do a full system restore, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14.
    If that sends a message, please note the exact wording.

  • My old harddrive crashed and I was using my iphone as a backup for photos. Now I have a new hardrive and when i go to sync them it tells me it will erase everything and then sync.I do not want to lose photos to sync. What  do I do?

    My hard drive crashed. I was using my iphone as a backup for my photos.I got a new harddrive and am now trying to sync with my new hard drive but it says that to sync my data will be wiped out. I have no other backup of those pictures. How do I sync my new hard drive?

    The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.
    The transfer process of photos from your computer is a one way transfer process only.
    Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are optmiized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes transfer process - the orginal resolution of these photos is reduced on your iPhone. This is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. These photos and all other photos stored on your computer's hard drive should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data.
    There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring such data in the opposite direction, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost.
    Here is one such utility that is compatible with a Mac.

  • How to view router/switch logs using LMS 3.2?

    Of course I can log into each of my 100 routers and switches and peforms "sh loggin" to look for problems, but how do I use LMS 3.2 to consolidate all those logs into one location?  Can I set up something so I can see those logs in more or less real time?
    Thanks in advance.

    >> Does LMS go get syslog messages periodically or does the device send a copy to LMS whenever it generates a new message?
    The latter.
    If for some reason, the devices cannot log directly to LMS, there're a few options: 1) Devices log to a central syslog server, which in turn exposes the syslogs to LMS' Syslog Analyzer, either via the Cisco-supplied Remote Syslog Collector or some unsupported methods such as NFS mount, or 2) Install Syslog-ng on the central syslog server, relay the logs to LMS, as described in this whitepaper: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps6504/ps6528/ps2425/white_paper_c11-571038.html
    >> What's the benefit of scheduling a report to run automatically?  Is it saved somewhere that is easier/quicker to get to?
    It's the usual benefits of automation. Scheduled syslog reports apparently write outputs to /var/adm/CSCOpx/files/rme/cri/archives/syslog/reports/output/[jobID_runID], on Solaris, for example. The structure inside is rather muddy. So it might be easier to have something like a VBscript to screen-scrape the LMS web GUI for the report outputs instead.
    >> Can new syslog messages from devices be posted to an RSS feed?
    That's a novel idea. Though obviously not from the devices directly, it most likely coud be done through some "syslog2rss" relay residing on the syslog server. I think the potential volumes of logs could be too much for RSS, unless careful filtering/deduplication takes place on the relay before posting to a feed.

  • Using An External RAID for backup on a PB

    I have a powerbook and would like to split my internal hard drive into a 20GB and a 60GB parrtition.
    the 20GB would be my basic home directory, Applications and System.
    The 60GB would have all my data.
    Now the question. I have a 60Gb external FW/USB2 hard drive. I would like to use that as a MIRRORED Raid drive for my data.
    Can I unplug the RAID drive and go about my work for the day making file changes and such. Then come back home and plug in my external MIRRORED RAID drive and have everything update?
    Or is that not allowed. Seems like it would be an awesome backup system.
    thanks in advance

    Charles
    I think you have slightly mistunderstood the way RAID systems work.
    Firstly you cannot use the PowerBook's hard drive as part of the RAID because it will be running the RAID software in OS X.
    However it is possible for to use two external drives that are then 'combined' to form a single RAID drive.
    For the kind of use you are thinking of backup software, like Retrospect or Data Backup that permits 'incremental backups' will do the job. However, you will probably need a larger external drive than 60GB.
    Alternatively you can get something like Maxtor's OneTouch drives, which has an easy to use backup feature.
    EDIT: RAID 0 (striped) and RAID 1 (mirrored) are the only supported RAID levels in OS X's software controller. What I described earlier is equivalent to RAID 1. Special hardware RAID controllers support more levels and is what most demanding RAID systems will be using, rather than a software controller.

  • HT5287 Using WD My Passport as backup in my MacBook Pro

    I am  trying to use a WD My Passport Essential P/N WDBACx0010BBL-01, already formatted for Windows.
    I have to reformatt for MAC. Has anybody had an experience with this problem?
    I want to use this disc as a backup for my MacBook Pro Retina.

    To use Time Machine, you have to format it in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Use Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Copy your files on your external disk to the internal one before formatting the external drive.
    Then, open System Preferences > Time Machine > Select Disk, and choose your external drive. The first backup will start, and Time Machine will make automatic, hourly backups. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    If you don't like Time Machine, you can use applications like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner, or Disk Utility's Restore feature to make backups of the Mac. The advantage of them is that you can start up your Mac from them
