<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have several Nexus 7009 switches running NX-OS 7.2. We’ve noticed that RANCID keeps picking up updates to the files bootvar_debug.log and bootvar_debug.meta. There doesn’t appear to be any way to stop these files from being modified.
I found another user who saw the same behavior on Nexus 9000 series switches. Cisco states it is by design. It’s worth noting that this behavior doesn’t seem to happen in version 6.2 of NX-OS on the same platform. We’ve only noticed it on 7.2.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It would seem these files need to be ignored. Does anyone have a patch to correct this for RANCID 3.6.2?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s an example of the diff from what rancid is picking up.<o:p></o:p></p>
