[rancid] Re: Cisco 9124 SAN Switch

[Mark.Favas at csiro.au]

Eric,
 
The diffs against Rancid 2.3.1 are below. Basically, it sets the type to
be "SAN" if it sees the string "Cisco Storage Area Networking Software",
and then assumes it's found the end of the config if it's seen more than
five lines of output and the router type is "SAN". That was enough to
get it to work for me...
 
Cheers,
 
Mark

Mark,

I have been unable to backup my 9500 MDS switches since I've gotten
RANCID, and have been relying on other tools to archive the configs.

What changes did you make to enable the archival of these devices?  I'm
not much of a coder, so the more info on what you did the better.

Thanks,

	Hi, 

	I'm trying to use rancid on a Cisco MDS 9124 SAN switch running
SAN-OS ver 3.1(3a). Initially I had a problem with the WriteTerm
subroutine of the rancid script not recognising when the "end of config"
had been reached. By making a change similar to  that for the
ContentEngine, I got past that problem (happy to post diffs if there's
any interest). Now I regularly get emails that the config has changed
because the order of some of the output lines changes (below - the
"callhome" line flips about). Has anyone on the list got a Cisco SAN
switch working with rancid?

	Thanks, 

	Mark Favas
