Hello Great Script, can you also add "duplicate object" in your title, it took me quite while to search this page.

Done 🙂

I just tried running this script on my mgmt server R80.40 and it fails with below...not sure why, but it generated couple of files that dont show anything (ip_addresses.txt and host_objects.csv...

[Expert@cp-test-mgmt:0]# ./find_dup_ip2.sh
Please enter your username and password
Enter username and press [ENTER]: admin
Enter password and press [ENTER]:
Failed to parse login output file [id.txt]
show hosts failed.
[Expert@cp-test-mgmt:0]#

Never mind...layer 8 issue, haha. I tried on different mgmt and worked fine...so probably something wrong on a VM one I tested first.

Hello,

I cant find the $CPDIR/jp/jp directory.  Is this folder not present in a CMA/DOMAIN of a MDS.?

Thanks

hi
for me, it works on SMS R80.40 but not on MDS R80.40

As mentioned in the script
# relies on having the jq utility
JQ=${CPDIR}/jq/jq

which seems to be on a MDS in /opt/CPshrd-R80.40/bin/jq

I do not see any 'domain' command in the script which I would expect (with my limited API knowledge)

Regards
