does a tool exist to create config state snapshot ?

Hello cadencep45,

Tech support and partners have a way to copy the configuration files in the event of catastrophic configuration loss and restore the configuration so the system will boot.  There is not a tool that is used other than the CLI and access to certain files that is needed to do the restore.

ok, so focusing on

https://github.com/obergt/Isilon_Tools/blob/master/isi_tools.py

a isilon python sdk question.

from the above script, it appears to create a generic isilon api object and then dump the relevant config tree's 

i.e.

objects = api.platform.get_object(item)

from

import isilon

but looking at https://github.com/Isilon/isilon_sdk_python, picking any sdk version

api's seem to be broken down to subsystems, i.e. https://github.com/Isilon/isilon_sdk_python/tree/Isilon_SDK_v0.2.11/isi_sdk_9_0_0/isi_sdk_9_0_0/api

rather than a single object representing the cluster ? Am I missing where I should be creation the isilon object ?

It reads as being created at the top level rather than for each subsystem ?

the answer I went to was

cron a daily incremental   log with minimal logs ie

isi_gather_info --incremental --nologs --no-dumps --no-cores --noupload

@cadencep45 ,
