Sending yes or no prompt for Cisco nexus device using send_command

[adityamum]

Hi Kirk, I am trying to send the below command to the nexus 9k switch. Command: install all nxos bootflash:///nxos.7.0.3.I5.2.bin Installer will perform compatibility check first. And manually we have to send yes command after the prompt for installation. Process usually takes around 15 mins manually

I am trying to send y command using send_command for Do you want to continue with the installation? String. But it's going in next line and I tried to use send_command_timing but it's not working as it's giving half output

Please find the error below for % Invalid command at marker:

Installer will perform compatibility check first. Please wait. Installer is forced disruptive

Please find the code below

device = {
"device_type": 'cisco_nxos',
"host":f" (host)",
"username": "user",
"password": "pass",
 "global delay factor":20,
 "fast cli": False
}
net_connect = ConnectionHandler(**device)
command= f"install all nxos bootflash: (filename)"

output=net_connect.send_command(command, read_timeout=20000, strip_prompt=False, strip_command-False)

#print (output)

If "Do you want to continue with the installation (y/n)?" in output:

          output+=net_connect.send_command (command_string="y", read_timeout=20000,strip_prompt=False, strip_command=False)

print(output)

Pls help.

You probably need to add an expect_string argument to this line:

output = net_connect.send_command(command,  expect_string=r"Do you want to continue", strip_prompt=False, strip_command=False)
output += net_connect.send_command("y", expect_string=r"Hostname#", read_timeout="VALUE", strip_prompt=False, strip_command=False)

You will need to set read_timeout to the appropriate value.

I would try something similar to the above.

Hey @ktbyers thanks for the above command. I used send_command_multiline and it works!!

command = [[f"install all nxos bootflash:(filename)",r"Do you want to continue with the installation"],["y",""]] output=net_connect.send_multiline (command, read_timeout=20000,strip_prompt-false, strip_command=False)
