arubaoss_config_bkup - unable to load response from device
Opened this issue · 5 comments
Hey there, I'm trying to use the arubaoss_config_bkup module to backup device configurations for some of our Aruba equipment, but I haven't gotten it to work so far.
Here is my playbook:
- name: Get Config For HP Switches
hosts: host
collections:
- arubanetworks.aos_switch
gather_facts: no
vars:
ansible_network_os: arubanetworks.aos_switch.arubaoss
ansible_user: username
ansible_password: password
ansible_connection: local
tasks:
- name: Backup HP Switch Configuration
arubaoss_config_bkup:
file_name: /path/to/backup.txt
config_type: CT_RUNNING_CONFIG
Here is the output of the task:
"changed": false,

}
},

ansible_host is defined in hostvars, and I'm explicitly defining the needed environment variable at runtime. Any thoughts on why I might be getting this error?
Hi,
Do you have check the switch config ? (you are using HTTP ? not HTTPS ?)
Hi @adparis99 I don't believe this is the correct module for what you're trying to accomplish- it seems you're trying to backup the configuration of the switch to a local file? If so you would want to use the arubaoss_config module which uses SSH to connect to the switch and retrieve the running configuration. Remember when using this module you'll want to ensure you have the ansible_connection: network_cli variable set, for further instructions see here.
Here's the entire playbook, please let me know if you run into additional errors with this:
- hosts: all
collections:
- arubanetworks.aos_switch
gather_facts: False
vars:
ansible_connection: network_cli
tasks:
- name: Backup config to local file
arubaoss_config:
backup: True
backup_options:
filename: backup.txt
dir_path: /path/to
Hello,
I have the same issue when I try to configure ntp server.
My task in playbook :
- name: Set NTP server
arubaoss_ntp:
command: "config_ntp_ipv4addr"
ntp_ip4addr: "192.168.10.3"
mode: "burst"
api_version: "{{ ansible_api_version }}"
use_ssl: "{{ ansible_use_ssl }}"
port: "{{ ansible_port }}"
host: "{{ ansible_host }}"
username: "{{ ansible_user }}"
password: "{{ ansible_password }}"
delegate_to: "{{ passthrough }}"
remote_user: "{{ hostvars[passthrough].ansible_user }}"
vars:
ansible_ssh_private_key_file: "{{ hostvars[passthrough].ansible_ssh_private_key_file }}"
tags:
- system
- ntp

BUT if the configuration in the switch is already set, no error is reported (I juste IP is changed).
OK => {

Conf of switch :
timesync ntp
ntp server 192.168.10.2 burst
ntp enable
PS :
- Another modules working without any issue (like vlan, dns, motd...)
SO it looks like 2930F's are aoscx so for giggles, I tried updating inventory to this (only changed 1):
all:
hosts:
SW01:
ansible_host: 192.168.104.50
ansible_network_os: arubanetworks.aoscx.aoscx
ansible_connection: arubanetworks.aoscx.aoscx # REST API connection method
ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: False
ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: True
ansible_acx_no_proxy: True
Switch-02:
ansible_host: 192.168.104.51
ansible_connection: local # REST API connection method
ansible_network_os: arubanetworks.aos_switch.arubaoss # Do not change
Retested and nogo
