Does anyone know about scripting possibilities for the MDS series.

I know the FM Server Database Schema document, but want to script directly the switch.

Many thanks in advance for any idea.

Kind regards,

Chris

I have done some basic stuff, see attached. I opened CLI via Putty and just copied and pasted what I wanted to do.

I have removed our IP Addresses from the first section.

Hopefully that helps.

Hi Christoph,

You can script directly to the switch via ssh keys and/or using snmp :-)

Cheers

Please keep in mind that Cisco doesn't officially support scripting to the switch and there are known problems in using it. Scripts that run fine at one version can also break as I've experience at new SAN-OS versions. Please keep this in mind when you use scripting.

G'day,

Cisco DO support the command line and if scripting means running commands via the command line and/or via snmp of course they support it.

What they wont support is your actual scripts (obviously).

If you have any issues with running the commands either via command line or snmp (ie: the commands dont do what they should log a case with cisco as things should work as documented).

If in doubt, get in contact with your local SE....

Cheers

Andrew

You can create scripts on the switch using the scheduler command.

You create a schedule job and enter the commands you want to run, then choose how often to run it. You can also output it to a file on bootflash: and ftp off to a server as part of the scheduled job.

This tells you how to use the scheduler.
