Hi Guys,
We have ASA's that have 3 contexts, Can Unimus backup all configurations contexts?
Thanks,
Patrick
[Implemented] ASA multiple contexts backup
Hi,
Unimus takes the output of "more system:running-config" from the ASAs.
I am not sure off the top of my head if that contains all contexts or not.
If the default behavior of ASA is not to output the config for all contexts, we will be happy to adjust the ASA driver to get it.
I think there is an "all context" alternative for the "more" command we could use.

Hi Thomas,
Yes correct the ASA does not output the config for all contexts when backing up using Umimus.
For example on the CLI I need to issue the command change context context name to access the context cli.
How long will it take for you to adjust the driver and to test?
Thanks,
Patrick

Could you please check if "more system:running-config all context" works?
Or if there is a different way to show config for all contexts using the "more" command?
If the change is as simple as that, I can have a build with the fix ready pretty much right away.

EDIT: full multi-context support for ASA is now ready in Unimus.
Ok, so it seems the easy ways will not work
We will have to implement single-context vs. multi-context detection.
Then when in multi-context mode, get config from all contexts.
This will require some refactoring in the ASA backup driver.
Would it be possible to get SSH access to a multi-context ASA somewhere in a lab, against which we could do development on?
A read-only account is completely sufficient, we would need access for a day maximum.
Please contact me over a PM if this would be possible.
Thanks!
