Web Management Archive funtion

[michaels2408]

I am using an ICX7250-24P with firmware 9.0.10j_cd1. According to the web management pdf saving a running archive from the web management console --> management --> infra is possible using the 'Save Running Config as Archive' button. The PDF references the naming convention for the archive as CX7K_ARCHIVE followed by _##  where ## is the archive number. I have set the archive size to 50 but when I try to save the running archive using the mentioned naming format I continually get the ERROR: error - the input file name does not follow the archive naming convention.  I have tried several different types of file names - CX7K_ARCHIVE, CX7K_ARCHIVE_0, CX7K_ARCHIVE_1, CX7K_ARCHIVE_00, CX7K_ARCHIVE_01.  What is the correct archive naming convention?

seems you're missing the leading "I", it's icx7k, not cx7k.

at least that's how it is on 7850's running 10.0.10/20

example: ICX7K_ARCHIVE_51

edit: after my next reply, the number you use always needs 2 digits, so "01" insteaf of "1" for example.

The error you mentioned is related to naming convention. Make sure prefix matches. Below is a snip from the document.

I hope this helps.

Thanks

perhaps the documentation could be a bit clearer, i also struggled with this at first. as you highlighted it says

"The archive-naming convention requires archive names be prefixed with the predefined string "ICX7K_ARCHIVE"

firstly, this is somewhat incorrect, it needs to be prefixed with "ICX7K_ARCHIVE_" (note the trailing underscore), the web manual omits that part.

while you can deduce from the example the the "archive naming convention" is 2 digits from the cli docs, i never found this mentioned in detail. also it needs to be exactly 2 digits, so you might need to prefix it with 0.

2 bonus items:

the cli guide mentions a "golden archive", and while i can most likely guess what that means it's not to be found in the guide:
https://docs.commscope.com/search?bundle=fastiron-09010-managementguide&q=golden

the web guide like to call it "archive-naming convention" with a dash between archive & naming, cli says "archive naming convention" without a dash.
