Script for restarting router ports doesnt work

Posted by rj2one on 2009-07-14 03:03

We had a server on VM which was migrated to XEN, post migration the tcl script to restart the router ports isnt working .

I tried on a new Xen server ..and got the same issue.

The script starts and logs into the router with the supplied password,
but times out on the "en" mode password.

Works fine with VM.

Please help.

This seems to be an issue with the XEN vs. VM based installations and has little to do with Tcl itself. It is possible that XEN, which virtualizes in a different manner, is simply buggy or different by design for certain port behavior. Also make sure you have the same versions of everything on each environment.

Thanks Jeffh,
It seems that the script is having problems typing the characters and does it very slowly, hence it times out during the password. Not sure what is causing this and how to resolve the issue
