i have not used this much,
but would it be okay if you can schedule configuration save through CLI if connectrix is not supporting it...

do you know how to do it ? i will need to figure out how to setup automated login via telnet ..but i do not know the syntax to export zoneset information to a file. Connetrix guide says that regular connectix backup saves zone library information ...so i unzipped BkpPersisted.zip file, yet can't find anything that contains zone information.

i got following code from net, i tried to modify the code for my system but seems this does not work if the switch presents a login banner. if you know perl, you can change it and use it.

it may need a telnet or net perl library on your machine though (i dloaded it off-net but do not remember the link now )

from cli, you can run the command to output zones information (zoneshow?) and then save the output...

hope this helps...

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::Telnet;

if ($#ARGV != 3){
print "usage: brocade_cmd.pl \n";
exit 1;
}

$host = $ARGV[0];
$username = $ARGV[1];
$passwd = $ARGV[2];
$command = $ARGV[3];
$switch = new Net::Telnet (Errmode =>'die', Timeout => 10 );
$switch->open($host);
$switch->waitfor('/ogin: $/');
$switch->print($username);
$switch->waitfor('/assword: $/');
$switch->print($passwd);
$switch->waitfor(Match => '/proceed./', Match => '/> /');
$switch->print("^C");
$switch->waitfor('/> $/');
print $switch->cmd($command);
print "\n";
$switch->print("exit");

once i am in telnet session ..where am i redirecting it to ? I need to redirect output of "show.zoning" to my local hard drive.

you can redirect the output of this script so automatically you will get the zoneset information in the dump.
