Managing the POAP Personality

POAP Personality

The POAP personality feature, which is introduced in Cisco NX-OS Release 7.0(3)I4(1), enables user data,
Cisco NX-OS and third-party patches, and configuration files to be backed up and restored. In previous
releases, POAP can restore only the configuration.
The POAP personality is defined by tracked files on the switch. The configuration and package list in the
personality file are ASCII files.
Binary versions are recorded in the personality file, but the actual binary files are not included. Because binary
files are typically large, they are accessed from a specified repository.
The personality file is a .tar file, which would typically be extracted into a temporary folder. Here is an
example:
switch# dir bootflash: 042516182843personality # timestamp name

failed" statement.
Suggestion: Use the python script-name command on the server and make sure there are no syntax
errors. The options dictionary is a Python dictionary so each entry must be comma separated and have
the key or option and the value separated by a colon.
Suggestion: Some options use integers (for example, timeouts and other numeric values). Check the
options dictionary for numeric values that are enclosed in quotes. Refer to the options list for the correct
usage.
