NimbostratusTMSH oddness
All I'm trying to do is save a running configuration to a file in v11:
[admin@ltm:/S1-green-P:Active] scripts tmsh sys config save file my_file
Syntax Error: unexpected argument "save"
Why doesn't this work? If I go into the tmsh shell, and type each command, it works fine. I need to run this command non-interactively (without going into the tmsh) shell, though. No more bigpipe, though.
Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh,
This works for me logged in as admin:
tmsh save /sys config file mybackup
Saving running configuration...
/var/local/scf/mybackup
/var/local/scf/mybackup.tar
Or without the slash for sys:
tmsh save sys config file mybackup
Saving running configuration...
/var/local/scf/mybackup
/var/local/scf/mybackup.tar
Which 11.1 version are you running? Can you try on 11.1HF2 which was released last week?

Josh_41258Aaron,
Thanks. These boxes are actually running HF2 already. I guess my syntax was wrong?
[admin@wr-dc-ltm-b2100-p01:/S1-green-P:Active] config tmsh save /sys config file mybackup
Saving running configuration...
/var/local/scf/mybackup
/var/local/scf/mybackup.tar
I was doing "tmsh sys config save," not "tmsh save sys config" .. although, I'm not quite sure why my version didn't work. Maybe I need to read up on tmsh some more. :)
Thanks,
Josh- hoolioYeah it was a syntax error. The format for tmsh is generally action -> object -> parameters.
The bigpipe mappings page is a good cheat sheet:

Or you can check the full tmsh guide:

Aaron - Josh_41258Oh, nice! The bigpipe mappings reference is an excellent resource. Thanks for sharing.
Josh
