[rancid] Vdxrancid contributed script on working on my Brocade VDX

[Scott Foster]

I have been trying to get the below contributed script for a Brocade VDX switch to work on my VDX 6710, 6720 and 6740 switches. I have listed the URL to the contributed script below.

https://code.google.com/p/vdxrancid/source/browse/trunk/vdxrancid?spec=svn2&r=2

When I execute the vdxrancid script I get the error: "End of run not found"

I've validated that I have implemented the script and modified my files as needed (someone also check this as well). We can't find anything that would be causing this. The only thing that we might has found is that when you perform a "show run" at the command prompt that there is no 'end' at the end of the configuration. I'm thinking this might be problem and that rancid is hitting the end of the config, but doesn't know if it is the end or not.

We are running code 4.1.3a. I'm hoping that someone might be able to help.

I wrote that quite a while ago (2012) when the vdx was really new, I
suspect the output may have changed. I don't have any vdx to test against
any longer.
Another data point is that I never tested it with the newest rancid which
has a very different framework for adding new devices.

I just want to point-out that scripts for rancid 2.8 will work with 3.x,
the device type just needs to be defined in rancid.types.conf like type
smc, which is still a 2.x-style script.
