In some cases, DPOD users wants to remove DPODs related configuration from monitored device (IDG). Example : temporary monitoring non-production device for product demonstration.

The user has two basic ways to remove DPODs related configuration from monitored IDG devices :

  1. Manually as describe in the in the in How to Uninstall DPOD from DataPower
  2. Using DPOD IDG configuration tool 

The DPOD IDG configuration tool is a simple tool that enables the user to backup DPODs related configuration of IDG before starting monitor the IDG using DPOD.

If needed, the tool can also remove the DPOD configuration from IDG monitored device.


Backing up the IDG  configuration

Use the app_idg_pre_conf_bck.sh script located in the directory /app/scripts.

The script will back up the following IDG objects configuration:

The script parameters are :

Operation

Purpose

-i, --idg-ip

IDG xml management interface IP address or host name

-p, --idg-port

IDG xml management interface port

-u, --idg-user

IDG xml management interface user name

-s, --idg-pass

IDG xml management interface user password

The script backup directory and log file will be displayed in a message at the end of execution

example of the script execution :

app_idg_pre_conf_bck.sh -i 192.168.65.80 -p 5550 -u admin -s 123456


Removing DPOD configuration and restoring IDG objects based on the backup information

In order to remove DPOD configuration from IDG monitored device use the script app_idg_pre_conf_restore.sh located in the directory /app/scripts.

If you did not run app_idg_pre_conf_bck.sh before installing DPOD - you can still remove some of the configuration automatically by running it now, and letting it backup the current configuration
By doing so - the restore process will not revert the settings to the previous pre-DPOD state, but it will still automatically delete all DPOD's log targets and host aliases


The script will restore the following IDG objects configuration based on the backup file :

Farther more, the script will remove the following DPOD related configuration:

The script parameters are :

Operation

Purpose

-i, --idg-ip

IDG xml management interface IP address or host name

-p, --idg-port

IDG xml management interface port

-u, --idg-user

IDG xml management interface user name

-s, --idg-pass

IDG xml management interface user password

-d, --backup-dir source backup directory


Since the original backed up configuration might have changed between the period of the backup and the restore,
the script will display the backup data and will give the user the opportunity to change the configuration to restore.

This is an example of the XML management interface restore menu :


The script log file will be displayed in a message at the end of execution.
