I am getting following error on our LTM 12.1.0 image, earlier we were using 11.4 with f5backups2.1 script and it was working fine.
Script (/Common/) generated this Tcl error: (script did not successfully complete: (Retrying with upper case share name mount error(6): No such device or address Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) while executing "exec $scriptfile" line:17))
Need your help to fix this issue to continue with automatic backup iApp.
I verified all settings and still failing to take the automatic backup, I responded already with screenshot of the configuration and error message which I am getting.
Requesting you to help us here to fix it.
I really appreciate the share though on my initial attempt to import and deploy I receive the error "Error parsing template:can't eval proc: "script::run" field not present: "hostname" while executing "tmsh::get_field_value [lindex [tmsh::get_config sys global-settings] 0] hostname" (procedure "script::run" line 2) invoked from within "script::run" line:1." Just curious if anyone knew of a quick solution off the top of their head. Running 12.1
I am using this script via FTP, everything works great except the local deletion of the UCS file. I get a backlog of *.ucs files in /var/local/ucs. This does not happen every day, it seems to be random. The output of scriptd.out all appears to be normal.
Hello I am trying to set this up but when I try to create the application to tie this and start the backup I get the following error. "script did not successfully complete: (The connection to mcpd has been lost, try again. while executing "tmsh::cd .." line:4)"
Thank you for pointing out that TMOS 12.1 is missing SMB. Been trying to figure out why I couldn't get the original to work.
Also getting error. "script did not successfully complete: (The connection to mcpd has been lost, try again. while executing "tmsh::cd .." line:4)"
We recently installed the HF2 for 12.1.2 and the iApp stopped placing the backup file into the remote server. It is saying "Permission denied"...We are using SCP and I suspect its related to the encryption key. Any suggestions out here?
I needed to troubleshoot an issue and ended up rolling in many of the proposed and posted fixes into a new iApp.
 
iApp VERSIONS (From what I gathered perusing DevCentral)
~v2.0 - 20140312 - Initially posted releases (v11.4.0-11.6.x? compatibility). (Developed/posted by Thomas Schockaert)
v2.1.1 - 20160916 - Retooled SMB upload from smbclient to "mount -t cifs" (v12.1+ compatibility). (Developed/posted by MAG)
v2.2.1 - 20171214 - Allowed multiple instances of iApp by leveraging $tmsh::app_name to create unique object names. (Developed by Daniel Tavernier/tabernarious)
v2.2.2 - 20171214 - Added "/" to "mount -t cifs" command and clarified/expanded help for SMB (CIFS) Destination Parameters. (Developed by Daniel Tavernier/tabernarious)
v2.2.3 - 20171214 - Set many fields to "required" and set reasonable default values to prevent loading/configuration errors. Expanded help regarding private keys. (Developed by Daniel Tavernier/tabernarious)
v2.2.4 - 20171214 - Added fix to force FTP to use binary upload. (Copied code posted by Roy van Dongen, posted by Daniel Tavernier/tabernarious)
v2.2.4a - 20171215 - Added items to FUTURE list.
v2.2.5 - 20171228 - Added notes about special characters in passwords. Added Deployment Information and ConfigSync sections. (Developed by Daniel Tavernier/tabernarious)
v2.2.5a - 20180117 - Added items to FUTURE list.
v2.2.5b4 - 20180118 - Moved encrypted values for SMB/CIFS to shell script which eliminates ConfigSync issues. Fixed long-password issue by using "-A" with openssl so that base64 encoded strings are written and read as a single line. (Developed by Daniel Tavernier/tabernarious)
v2.2.5b4+ - 20180118 - Refining changes to SMB/CIFS and replicating to other remote copy types. (Developed by Daniel Tavernier/tabernarious)
v3.0.0 - 20180124 - (Developed by Daniel Tavernier/tabernarious)
- Eliminated ConfigSync issues and removed ConfigSync notes section. (Encrypted values now in $script instead of local file.)
- Passwords now have no length limits. (Using "-A" with openssl which reads/writes base64 encoded strings as a single line.)
- Added $script error checking for all remote backup types. (Using 'catch' to prevent tcl errors when $script aborts.)
- Backup files are cleaned up after $script error due to new error checking.
- Added logging. (Run logs sent to '/var/log/ltm' via logger command which is compatible with BIG-IP Remote Logging configuration (syslog). Run logs AND errors sent to '/var/tmp/scriptd.out'. Errors may include plain-text passwords which should not be in /var/log/ltm or syslog.)
- Added custom cipher option for SCP.
- Added StrictHostKeyChecking=no option.
- Combined SCP and SFTP because they are both using SCP to perform the remote copy.
v3.1.0 - 20180201 - (Developed by Daniel Tavernier/tabernarious)
- Removed "app-service none" from iCall objects. The iCall objects are now created as part of the Application Service (iApp) and are properly cleaned up if the iApp is redeployed or deleted.
- Reasonably tested on 11.5.4 HF2 (SMB worked fine using "mount -t cifs") and altered requires-bigip-version-min to match.
- Fixing error regarding "script did not successfully complete: (can't read "::destination_parameters__protocol_enable": no such variable" by encompassing most of the "implementation" in a block that first checks $::backup_schedule__frequency_select for "Disable".
- Added default value to "filename format".
- Changed UCS default value for $backup_file_name_extension to ".ucs" and added $fname_noext.
- Removed old SFTP sections and references (now handled through SCP/SFTP).
- Adjusted logging: added "sleep 1" to ensure proper logging; added $backup_directory to log message.
- Adjusted some help messages.
AN, What issues are you having? Can you post screenshots or error messages or a more detailed description? Also, have you tried the latest version of the iApp I posted just above your comment? Version 3.0.0.
