cisco.asa.asa_command module not working with backup command #177

Open iamgini opened 2 years ago

iamgini commented 2 years ago
SUMMARY

Since the cisco.asa.asa_config module backup is downloading the backup to localmachine, we are using the cisco.asa.asa_command module and run arbitrary commands to take the backup directly to the TFTP server as follows.

- name: Take Cisco ASA Backup
  cisco.asa.asa_command:
    commands:
      - copy /noconfirm running-config tftp://{{ tftp_server }}/{{ backup_filename }}
  register: tftp_copy_status

But the command fails with below message

 "msg": "/noconfirm running-config tftp://10.1.10.10/ASA-DEMO$\\r\\n\\r\\n/noconfirm running-config tftp://10.1.10.10/ASA-DEMO0817-150814.cfg\\r\\n^\\r\\nERROR: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.\\r\\n\\rASA-DEMO> "

@ginigangadharan Thanks for raising the issue, I wanted to check if you're able to achieve the expected outcome from the cmd: copy /noconfirm running-config tftp://10.1.10.10/ASA-DEMO-20220817-151253.cfg when directly fired through Cisco ASA config, as invalid input is the error received from the ASA config.

Hi @justjais Yes, I am able to run the same command from the switch console manually without any issue and the command will complete successfully.

justjais commented 2 years ago

@ginigangadharan Thanks for the quick response, I'll triage the issue and update asap

iamgini commented 2 years ago

Thank you @justjais I am trying from my side as well but couldnt find the issue.

I will wait for your update.

iamgini commented 2 years ago

Hi @justjais, Just checking if you find any good news on this.

Thank you :D

justjais commented 2 years ago

@ginigangadharan please excuse me for the delayed response, the entire team was involved in Ansiblefest which got concluded recently. I'll triage the issue and update you ASAP.

@ginigangadharan were you able to check on this issue?

iamgini commented 1 year ago

@justjais apologies for my delayed response. I have tried but it was not working. I missed to collect and share the logs. I will try and update you by next week (as I am travelling now)

Thank you for checking this.
