Hi,

anybody using RANCID with NX-OS and multiple VDCs (Virtual Device
Context)?

I see two ways of using RANCID but can't decide which one is better:

- Treat each VDC as independent device

- Log into the default VDC and use "switchto" to access the other VDCs,
and then run commands (e..g. "show run") for each context.

Any ideas?

Jens

Yeah - you could modify rancid to do a "show running-configuration vdc-all"
from the default vdc, but if you're doing any kind of snmp polling, syslog
collection, or whatever, you'll need to poll/collect from the individual
VDCs anyway so makes more sense to treat each as a separate device.
