CLI Commands

CLI Command Overview

The command-line interface (CLI) is one of the available user interfaces to configure and monitor the launched application. This user interface provides direct access to execute commands via remote access methods over SSH.


Note

The commands described in this chapter are part of the Cisco Policy Suite microservices platform. Not all of these commands apply for Content Classification Manager (CCM) deployments. In general, only the commands described in the Installation and Configuration sections of this document should be needed for a CCM deployment.


CLI Command Modes

The CLI provides two separate command modes – OPERATIONAL and CONFIG.

Each command mode has a separate set of commands available for configuration and monitoring of the application. Entering a “?” at the command problem will indicate the list of available commands for execution within a given mode.

When you start a session, the default mode is OPERATIONAL mode. From this mode, you can access monitoring “show” commands, debugging commands and system maintenance commands. You can enter CONFIG mode to change configuration by issuing the “config” command at the OPERATIONAL prompt.

OPERATIONAL Mode

Logging into the master VM on port 2024 via SSH will allow you to access OPERATIONAL mode. The login into the system will require the use of a username and password. You may attempt to enter a correct password up to three times before the connection attempt is refused.

The commands available at the OPERTIONAL level are separate from the ones available at the CONFIG level. In general, the OPERATIONAL commands encompass monitoring, debugging, and maintenance activity a user will perform.

To list the available OPERATIONAL commands, use the following command:

Table 1. List Commands of OPERATIONAL Mode

Under vm_group > interfaces > interface, you need to add the following configuration:

<allowed_address_pairs>
  <address>
    <ip_address>10.81.70.44</ip_address>
    <netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask>
  </address>
</allowed_address_pairs>


Note

The above mentioned configuration needs to be done on all the interfaces of all the VMs where we are looking for virtual IP.

VNFs

All

Command Parameters

Table 44. Parameter Description

Command Parameter

Description

version

The new software version to install into the system.

consul-downgrade

consul-downgrade is an optional parameter. For more information , see consul-downgrade.

consul-downgrade

During upgrade, it takes a snapshot of existing consul data which are yet to be upgraded and saves as <version-name> (to which you are upgrading) and upgrade proceeds normally. Post upgrade all consul servers/agents will be upgraded to newer version.

For example, if you are upgrading from 20.2.0.release to 21.x.0.release, snapshot name is 21.x.0.release.

If the value is set as true, following operations are carried out:

  • Check if you have provided snapshot-name. If you have not provided the snapshot name, by default, it takes current version as snapshot. You can also provide the snapshot name. To list all the available snapshots, use consul list-snapshots command.

  • If snapshot is present, then consul is restored with the snapshot and further downgrade proceeds normally.

  • If snapshot is not present, then downgrade does not get started and an error is displayed.

  • If you have provided the snapshot-name, then snapshot (if exists) in /data/orchestrator/config/snapshot/ is verified and consul is restored with the given snapshot and downgrade continues.

  • In case of no snapshot, an error is displayed.


Note

Post rollback, consul data is of state before upgrade if consul downgrade is selected during ISO rollback. Hence, if changes are made to the consul config post upgrade, they are lost and you need to reapply the config changes.



Caution

You cannot restore newer version snapshot on an old consul server.


Example:

  1. When upgrading to any new version (for example, from v1 to v2), it takes consul snapshot as /data/orchestrator/config/snapshot-consul/v2.

  2. During downgrade (for example, from v2 to v1), provide snapshot name in system-downgrade command.

  3. When upgrading to v3 from v2 (for example, consul version for v1 is 1.0.0, consul version for v2 is 1.5.3 and consul version for v3 is 1.5.3). Upgrade from v1 to v2, snapshot is store as v2; from v2 to v3, snapshot is stored as v3.

  4. If you want to downgrade directly from v3 to v1 and you do not provide the snapshot name, by default, it takes the snapshot of v3 and consul version is 1.5.3. The downgrade fails. You must provide the snapshot name in system-downgrade command as v2.

Command Usage

The system downgrade command installs new software on the system using a rolling downgrade approach to minimize service interruption. Care must be taken to ensure that the system downgrade command is used when moving from a higher software version to a lower version of the software. The rolling downgrade upgrades the software modules in startup order. After the command is issued, the CLI disconnects while the CLI software is restarted. The CLI generally becomes available within 30 seconds. Once the CLI becomes available, the status of the upgrade can be monitored using the show scheduling status command.

system downgrade version 12.9.9-dra.2017-03-03.115.0f485ef
