[rancid] supermicro switch (again)

[Marcin Dulak]

Hi,

I read through this thread ending with no solution
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2013-November/007279.html

Things I have tried:

Version rancid-3.1-4.el6.x86_64

0.
add to ~rancid/.cloginrc the supermicro-switch settings

add autoenable supermicro-switch 1
add user       supermicro-switch username
add password   supermicro-switch password password
add method     supermicro-switch ssh


1.
clogin shows errors out-of-the-box, this is expected

rancid $ clogin -c"show version" supermicro-switch
supermicro-switch
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l username supermicro-switch
username at supermicro-switch's password:

         Supermicro Switch

supermicro-switch#
supermicro-switch# terminal length 0
% Invalid Command
supermicro-switch# terminal width 132
% Invalid Command
supermicro-switch#  show version
Switch ID  Hardware Version             Firmware Version  OS
Version
0          XXX-XXXX Rev. X   (XX-XX)    X.X.X-X           X.X.X
supermicro-switch#exit

2.
copy clogin to smlogin

root # cp /usr/libexec/rancid/clogin /usr/libexec/rancid/smlogin

and replace the offending
send "terminal length 0\r" and send "terminal width 132\r" with with send
"\r"

After that this returns without errors:

rancid $ smlogin -c"show version" supermicro-switch

3.
rancid $ rancid -d supermicro-switch
loadtype(): device_type is empty
Couldn't load device type spec for

So I add to /etc/rancid/rancid.types.base:

supermicro;script;rancid -t supermicro
supermicro;login;smlogin
supermicro;inloop;supermicro::inloop
supermicro;command;supermicro::ShowVersion;show version
supermicro;command;supermicro::WriteTerm;show running-config

and then:

rancid $ rancid -d -t supermicro supermicro-switch
loadtype: device type supermicro
loadtype: found device type supermicro in /etc/rancid/rancid.types.base
executing smlogin -t 90 -c"show version;show running-config"
supermicro-switch
supermicro-switch: missed cmd(s): all commands
supermicro-switch: End of run not found
supermicro-switch: End of run not found

but as we know executing directly on the command line works: smlogin -t 90
-c"show version;show running-config" supermicro-switch

To further debug I create `cp /usr/libexec/rancid/rancid
/usr/libexec/rancid/smrancid` and point to it with
supermicro;script;smrancid -t supermicro
but my guess is wrong: some other script than /usr/libexec/rancid/smrancid
is executed during `rancid -d -t supermicro supermicro-switch`

How to debug this further?

Regards,

Marcin
