Chapter 3 CLI Commands
cms
Use the lcm command to configure local/central management (LCM) on a WAE. The LCM feature
allows settings that are configured using the device CLI or GUI to be stored as part of the WAAS
network-wide configuration data (enable or disable).
When you enter the cms lcm enable command, the CMS process running on WAEs and the standby
WAAS Central Manager detects the configuration changes that you made on these devices using CLIs
and sends the changes to the primary WAAS Central Manager.
When you enter the cms lcm disable command, the CMS process running on the WAEs and the standby
WAAS Central Manager does not send the CLI changes to the primary WAAS Central Manager. Settings
configured using the device CLIs will not be sent to the primary WAAS Central Manager.
If LCM is disabled, the settings configured through the WAAS Central Manager GUI will overwrite the
settings configured from the WAEs; however, this rule applies only to those local device settings that
have been overwritten by the WAAS Central Manager when you have configured the local device
settings. If you (as the local CLI user) change the local device settings after the particular configuration
has been overwritten by the WAAS Central Manager, the local device configuration will be applicable
until the WAAS Central Manager requests a full device statistics update from the WAEs (clicking the
Force full database update button from the Device Dashboard window of the WAAS Central Manager
GUI triggers a full update). When the WAAS Central Manager requests a full update from the device,
the WAAS Central Manager settings will overwrite the local device settings.
Examples The following example shows how to back up the cms database management tables on the WAAS Central
Manager named waas-cm:
waas-cm# cms database backup
creating backup file with label `backup'
backup file local1/acns-db-9-22-2002-17-36.dump is ready. use `copy' commands to move the
backup file to a remote host.
The following example shows how to validate the cms database management tables on the WAAS
Central Manager named waas-cm:
waas-cm# cms database validate
Management tables are valid
