Hi,

405: Method not allowed. Never tried it via https, anyway if you just need those file, then there is a workaroudn via command-line.

workaround:
Step 1:
::>set diag
::*>security login password -username diag
::*>security login unlock -username diag
::*>systemshell -node node
node-01% cd / [change to '/']
node-01% cd /mroot/etc/backups/config/
node-01% ll [You should see the backups here]
Copy it to the logs folder (Which you can access via GUI)
node-01% cp /mroot/etc/backups/config/whatever_is_the_backup.7z /mroot/etc/log/whatever_is_the_backup.7z

Step 2:
a) Point to Service Processor IP:https://cluster_mgmt_LIF/spi (Just as you do for downloading logs)
b) Clickon logs link
c) Simply download it locally and then put it on the web via your pc/server.

Thanks!

Hi @Ontapforrum

Thanks for your prompt response. I'm not looking for a one time copy. I want to take the backup of these configurations to remote HTTP web server regularly. Also, I am not using "HTTPS" as it is not supported.

hello,

Please Assuming you are on Ontap 9 Please see the method through which you can upload the configuration backups to the web server

https://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/topic/com.netapp.doc.dot-cm-sag/GUID-2C44ECFC-3C45-4B4D-8304-F8FFF2064F84.html?cp=3_10_10_1_2

Note: The web server to which you are uploading the configuration backup file must have PUT operations enabled for HTTP and POST operations enabled for HTTPS. For more information, see your web server's documentation.

hi @Ankitr1

I know this article and this is a normal procedure to setup this configuration. I am facing issues with this. Please let me know if there is anything I need to look at?

hello:

I haven't tried backing up to this server before. I used to back up to an FTP server. The IP of the service and the IP of the server must be in the same network segment. All the steps are the same.

Best regards.

I would say check your web server configuration whether it is allowed to post anything or running web services

Snip from support site:

the web server to which you are uploading the configuration backup file must have PUT operations enabled for HTTP and POST operations enabled for HTTPS. Some web servers may require the installation of an additional module. For more information, see your web server's documentation.

Hi,

you need a webserver with WebDAV enabled.

NginX with the WebDAV plugin works.
