F5 Big LTM and GTM

Has anyone created a template that can SCP the .UCS file back to NCM? I know you won't be able to see the config changes but the .UCS contains all the files needes for a restore.

Thanks,

Clayton

There's this template: You might be able to modify to backup .ucs instead of the .conf file.

I am currenty running this now but it only captures the bigip.conf and bigip_base.conf. Can I use SFTP or SCP natively with NCM or am I restricted to TFTP?

NCM doesn't ship with an SFTP or SCP server today. However, you can install your favorite SFTP or SCP server on the NCM box, and then change the device template to initiate the transfer using SFTP or SCP.

If you have an SFTP or SCP server set up already, you can always configure a scheduled script in NCM to run the scp command on each of the BIGIPs. Either that, or you could configure a cron job on each of your BIGIPs to do this, but that would become tedious, depending on your BIGIP deployment numbers.

I have been trying but no luck to get a template to work with 10.x using tmsh to create a ucs and SCP transfer to NCM. Anyone have any luck with this?
