Exporting the Guest Shell Rootfs and Querying the Result

This section contains payload examples to demonstrate how to use the NX-API REST API to control the state of the Guest Shell on the Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series switches.

For more information about the Guest Shell, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Programmability Guide:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/switches/nexus-9000-series-switches/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html/

Exporting the Guest Shell Rootfs

Exporting the Guest Shell Rootfs

Note: This example was added in Release 9.3(3).

If you need to save a copy of the Guest Shell rootfs, or make it available to be enabled on other Cisco Nexus 3000 or 9000 Series switches, post a guestshellGuestShellExportLTask action. If the Guest Shell was activated when this request was posted, the Guest Shell is deactivated on the rootfs copied to the local media and then reactivated.


CLI Commands

The CLI command is equivalent to the payload example displayed in the pane on the right.

guestshell export rootfs package <export_uri>

    Querying the Result of Exporting the Guest Shell Rootfs (Example 1)

    Note: This example was added in Release 9.3(3).

    The endTs of “never” and operSt of “processing” indicates that the export request is being processed, but it has yet to finish. Repeating the request for the export result after some time shows an operSt attribute of “completed” and the time in which the disable request finished in the endTs attribute as shown in example 2.
