Hi Fabio, Forgive me, but I'm still not clear on what it is you are trying to do. Are you loading IP addresses into the CatTools database (to set them up as new devices in CatTools); or are you wanting to load IP addresses as part of a CatTools Activity (for example, within the 'Device.CLI.Send Commands' activity?)…

The .exe file is the installer. You just need to run it on the system where your 3.4.0 version is installed and (normally) just follow all the default settings. You don't need to uninstall 3.4.0, the installer will upgrade all your device scripts, etc. to the latest version. You may want to take a backup of the existing…

Hi David, Yep, that makes sense. I suppose we could look at maybe deleting old files report files at the start of an activity run if the 'Overwrite existing report file' option has been selected. Would that seem more logical? If so, I'll add it as a feature request. Steve

Hi Sridhar, I checked the CatTools device script code for that activity and your device is responding with: "Non-Volatile memory is in use" ...when CatTools sends the show running command. Try running the show running command manually from within a Telnet/SSH session using (say) PuTTY and you'll see this. As to why its…

Hi Ash, The Aruba device type is not designed to work with v3.2.13. My last posting probably wasn't clear as to what I was trying to suggest. I was actually meaning for you to try the Eval of the latest release (i.e. install on a different 'test' system) to verify that the Aruba device type worked, then upgrade your…

You are welcome Lee. Look forward to hearing how things turn out.

Hi Marcus, Many thanks for spotting my typo error. I like to throw one in every now and again to ensure my audience are listening... (he says - while trying to pull the wool over...) ;o) Steve

Sartuche24, I had a quick browse over your script and I noticed a few things. The main one is that you appear to have added a lot of functions coded into the Client Activity script file; which probably ought to go into the Device script file. Normally the Client script files simply has instructions to call functions within…

Thanks for posting back your variations script Ronnie. I've added a feature request for Variations to look at adding a delay option. For reference, this is being tracked under FB156521. Steve

You probably just need to update your custom device script so that Function EnterEnableMode() returns True. Function EnterEnableMode() EnterEnableMode = True End Function This will then effectively skip over this function call. If you want you can add a message within the functions call too which will add a message to the…

OK no worries Daniel. I'll leave you in the capable hands of support for now. Can you provide the support ticket reference #, so I can liaise with the support rep? Thanks, Steve

My best suggestion would be to install the latest CaTools v3.6.0 on a test system and see if it works with your switch running CatOS (use the Cisco.Switch.CatOS device type). Steve

Thanks for the debuglog. The problem appears to be that your device is intermittently returning a Null [00] before the device hostname prompt. After initial login, it didn't "rt_wan1>", but during the routine where CatTools determines your device hostname (i.e. after CatTools sent a Carriage-Return [13]) it did:…

Hi Leonardo, From your custom script, I can tell that the error message you are seeing will occur if you reach the timeout value (default is 30 seconds) after the CR is sent to execute the enable mode command: "system-view". What should be happening is CatTools should be detecting one of the following responses: ' Expected…

Its probably not that TFTP fails on the NXOS, it's that the activity has not been added to the device type in CatTools as there has not been the demand for it. The reasons we may look at added the Device.Backup.TFTP activity is if: a) the device does not support a 'show running' or similar type command to display the…

So at what point is the banner displayed? Before or after the '...open ' text?

Have these devices worked in the past with CatTools v3.7? If so, then it is unlikely anything to do with CatTools, unless the login credentials set-up in CatTools are no longer valid on your devices?

CatTools doesn't provide an SCP server, however SolarWinds does have one. Have a read of the CatTools online help page at: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/help/cattools/dev_specificinfo_backupviascpsftp.htm Steve

I noticed that all the usual header information we include in the debug files for your devices is missing. Are you running an older version of CatTools? If so, then it is likely your HP device script does not have the fix which was implemented to handle the 'Press any key to continue' prompt. If you haven't already, try…

Which CatTool Juniper device type are you using? The Juniper.Router device type should support the Report.Version table activity, so you don't need to run the commands via the Device.CLI.Send Commands activity. Hope this helps. Regards, Steve

Hi, How did the Cisco.VPN device type work out for you with your Cisco VPN 3030? Regards, Steve

I'd stay with using the APC device type as this is specifically written for the menu based system. The Dell.Switch.CLI device type is designed for a standard command line O/S rather than menu based. If there isn't a way to turn off paging on the PDU, is there any way to increase the paging? It looks like its using the…

Did you install and are you running CatTools as Administrator? Also is your Vista x86 or x64 and (if applicable) which service pack are you on? Steve

Hi Alex, You just need to select the additional devices from the Devices tab of the activity, although you may also have to add additional ignore text entries for the other device types (which you can do by adding adding a 'pipe' | delimiter/separator character between each one). Alternatively, you could set up a new…

Hi pskfun, Thanks for your posting, but I think you may have sent this in response to the wrong thread. This is the CatTools forum, not NCM and your posting doesn't seem to apply to this issue being discussed in this thread (which is failure to determine the Brocade hostname). It look like you post relates to a diff of a…

Cool... glad to help! ... and thanks for posting back.

Hi karel, With regards to the installation issue on the new machine, please let me know whether copying the database across solve the problem. If this doesn't resolve the problem, then just so I'm clear as to which operations work and which ones fail on your new system; could you clarify the following for me please: 1) Did…

Aha, so it's a Linux based kernel? I think the Generic.Device may get you there, but you'll need to add a few overrides in the Variations as Generic.Device is written based on Cisco IOS. In the Device.Backup.Running Config activity, enter your cat /etc/pf.conf command in the Use alternate command: field in the activity…

Hi sanky, Looks like you have a few issues with the commands you are sending within CatTools. 1) When the 'config vdom' command is executed, the device responds with "command parse error before 'vdom' Command fail. Return code 1" 2) When the 'edit root' command is executed, the device responds with "Unknown action 0" 3)…

Hi Bob, In the .custom file (which you use to extend your existing devices with your custom activities), you need to locate the lines: ' SEND COMMAND(S) TO DEVICE: sCmd = "show version" then change the sCmd value to "show diag" instead. Hope this helps, Steve
