A little cheat sheet for myself. All commands can be used via SSH or Shell:
Show Config: show run
Show Inventory: show inventory (Does show i.e. how many CPUs and RAM is installed. This does match normally to the Version of Cisco Prime. i.E. 8 vCPUs and 16 GB RAM -> Express Plus Type)
Show status of prime: ncs status
Backup OS and Application: backup PI311 repository defaultRepo
Backup Application only: backup PI311appOnly repository defaultRepo application NCS
Activate OS Shell: shell
Locations of different files
defaultRepo: /localdisk/defaultRepo
Config: /storedconfig
License Files: /opt/CSCOlumos/licenses
To transfer the backup files to a safe place, just use scp :).
SCP isn't working, how are you using SCP?
Well, scp isn't working from the outside.
You need to connect to Prime via SSH, then activate the BASH Shell with the command "shell" as described above. From that point on, you can use scp from this Prime Shell itself, but not from the outside, due to security reasons. So you can just scp your stuff out from the Prime Server to your target system :).
Awww :/ Well thank you very much for that explanation. So at least I can tx backups off but getting that 4GB upgrade file on still required spinning up a ftp server. Thanks again.
Don't mention it :). Happy I could be of service. Have a great day :).
