NCM and Garrettcom Magnum 6K switches

abist

Hi,

I am planning to run a script in the NCM, that first checks the firmware level on the device and then checks it with the fimrware level it is going to upload to the switch. Should the firmware level match, it should abort upgrade. For example, it should move like this

 

Login into the switch via TELNET/SSH

Then it should do a

'show version' and check version number.

 

if(version_level==upgrade_level)

{

     exit;

}

else

{

    firmware_upgrade();

}

 

 

Can this be done and what are the variable I might choose? Is there a guide to writing scripts like these?

 

Thank you.

I think you will be able do this with a Config Change Template. See the chapter on Working with Config Change Templates in the Orion Network Configuration Manager Administrator Guide. When you're familiar with the scripting tools, refer to the section of the SolarWinds Information Services Data Entities for the firmware and other objects you need to use in your script.
