[rancid] HP Virtual Connect Switches

[Brady Lamprecht]

I've been looking into getting rancid to do backups of HP VirtualConnect
Switches. Have any of you had any success with these switches or have
seen modified scripts to grab the appropriate information?



The hlogin and the hpuifilter seem to be working fine, but since these
are not "normal switches," what would be the best way to grab the
relevant data once I am at the following prompt:



GETTING STARTED:



help : displays a list of available subcommands

exit : quits the command shell

<subcommand> ? : displays a list of managed elements for a subcommand

<subcommand> <managed element> ? : displays detailed help for a command



->



Ideally, I would like to issue a couple of commands such as "show
devicebay" and "show network" and "show uplinkport". If not those
commands individually, the single command "show all" would be great.



Thanks,

I've started modifying a copy of hrancid as necessary, but I was looking
to see if anyone else had implemented something similar so I didn't have
to "reinvent the wheel."

If not, is there any sort of "how to" document available which gives me
a few points on how to define a new rancid-type in the router.db file
and how to change what prompt is expected before starting to gather the
data?
