[rancid] Nexus 1000v switch-router

[Charles T. Brooks]

I'm using rancid v3.4.1, which I think is the latest?  Anyway, I had to add /usr/libexec/rancid to my PATH, but then I got this:

-bash-4.2$ rancid -t cisco-nx -d nx1k-03.hbcs.org

If the craptacular mail agent my employers force me to use has garbaged this up, I can send you a text file.

As I mentioned earlier, the 1000V runs NX-OS, but it's running inside a virtual environment provided by Cisco UCS.

If I use device type "cisco-nx" it simply does not work at all - after 24 hours I start getting the "unable to connect to device" emails every hour.   Has anyone else run into this yet, or am I the first?

which are what?

I do not know what would be particular about the 1000v over other nexus,
besides perhaps environmentals, which was fixed in rancid 3.3.  Assuming
you have rancid 3.3 or newer, would you send the output of

rancid -t cisco-nx -d hostname
