[rancid] rancid not keeping the newly created .new file

[MALAPELLE, FRANCK]

Hi,

I'm facing a really strange problem.
I have routers A and B; both are 7750 Alcatel routers. Except that router A was a Cisco before, we kept the same name.
I can run the alurancid / alulogin perfectly on both of these.

However when I ran rancid-run only router B has a file with its configuration. Router A still has the cisco config file.
I then created a new group within rancid and started over, this time the conf file of router A is empty!

While rancid-run is running, I can see the routerA.new and routerB.new files.
The configuration of routerA is effectively within the routerA.new file!
But, when rancid-run is done, the routerA conf file remains empty...!

As someone ever experienced this? Can someone help me on this subject? I am actually banging my head against my keyboard :)
Thanks,

Franck

the parsing of the received data is probably failing in alurancid. see the
group's logfile and dry alurancid -d hostname.

Hi John,

Alurancid is fine, it can log in and create a file of the configuration :
***@bt1shs08:~/bin$ alurancid -d routerA
executing alulogin -t 90 -c"show chassis environment;show chassis power-supply;admin display-config;show system information;show redundancy synchronization" routerA
PROMPT MATCH: "A:routerA#"
HIT COMMAND:A:routerA# show chassis environment
In ShowHw: A:routerA# show chassis environment
HIT COMMAND:A:routerA# show chassis power-supply
In ShowPwr: A:routerA# show chassis power-supply
HIT COMMAND:A:routerA# admin display-config
In ShowConfig: A:routerA# admin display-config
HIT COMMAND:A:routerA# show system information
In ShowSysinfo: A:routerA# show system information
HIT COMMAND:A:routerA# show redundancy synchronization
In ShowRedSync: A:routerA# show redundancy synchronization

The file is there with all the conf.

However, when I run rancid-run I can see the .new file during the process but it then disappears...
I just can't explain it.

Hi John,
executing alulogin -t 90 -c"show chassis environment;show chassis power-supply;admin display-config;show system information;show redundancy synchronization" routerA
PROMPT MATCH: "A:routerA#"
HIT COMMAND:A:routerA# show chassis environment

HIT COMMAND:A:routerA# show system information
In ShowSysinfo: A:routerA# show system information
HIT COMMAND:A:routerA# show redundancy synchronization
In ShowRedSync: A:routerA# show redundancy synchronization

rancid would end with:
Done : prompt#exit

i don't know if you maintained this behavior in alurancid.

alurancid is probably removing it because its not convinced that it got
the full output.
