Backup is broken
I have a unit in my development environment with a broken chassis fan. F5 is sending me a new one, I'm replacing the system on 12/31.
1. To prepare for replacing this unit I executed a backup. The backup process issued an error:
[root@co-net-997sc:Active] ~ b config save /var/tmp/ltm_backup
Saving active configuration...
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Fatal: executing: md5sum /config/""/var/class/sorrypage.class"
Operation aborted.
/tmp/configsync.spec: Error creating package
WARNING:There are error(s) during saving.
Not everything was saved.
Be very careful when using this saved file!
Error creating package
BIGpipe: 01110001:3: Error running config save
[root@co-net-997sc:Active]
2. I then recalled that I had, on this unit, early this year, fooled around with the 'Host that Sorry Page on your BIG-IP!' tip: http://devcentral.f5.com/weblogs/jason/archive/2009/05/12/host-that-so
rry-page-on-your-big-ip.aspx
3. I used the GUI to delete the data group 'sorrypage'. It is now gone from the GUI.
4. Re-ran the backup. It's still failing!

5. Ran qkview, ftp'd to local, ran grep and LO it appears I have issues:
% cat co-net-997sc.na.plexus.com-tech.out | grep sorry

6. I'd like to use the backup file to re-build the 'new' system instead of re-building everything by hand. Is it possible to get this error cleaned up before 12/31? If 'N', it's not a huge deal.
Thanks in advance,
~brian
- hooleylistCirrostratusHi Brian,
- BDunbar_8799Nimbostratus"It would probably be faster to open a case on this,"
- BDunbar_8799NimbostratusProblem resolved: the issue was caused by two directories, /config/" and /config/""
