[rancid] Cisco 9124 SAN Switch

[M***@csiro.au]

Hi,

I'm trying to use rancid on a Cisco MDS 9124 SAN switch running SAN-OS
ver 3.1(3a). Initially I had a problem with the WriteTerm subroutine of
the rancid script not recognising when the "end of config" had been
reached. By making a change similar to that for the ContentEngine, I
got past that problem (happy to post diffs if there's any interest). Now
I regularly get emails that the config has changed because the order of
some of the output lines changes (below - the "callhome" line flips
about). Has anyone on the list got a Cisco SAN switch working with
rancid?

Thanks,

Mark Favas

Here is how it has been done in the past. Refer to this thread.

http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2006-June/001542.html

Modifying control_rancid with this line might solve your issue.

--ignore-matching-lines='^callhome$'

cvs -f diff -U 4 --ignore-matching-lines='^callhome$' | sed -e '/^RCS
file: /d' -e '/^--- /d' -e '/^+++ /d' -e 's/^\([-+ ]\)/\1 /'

$TMP.diff

Similar solution is in this thread too.
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2006-May/001503.html

Note I have not verified this is possible with any version of rancid,
just sharing what others have shared in the past.

It would be nice if a future RANCID release included ignore options in the
rancid.conf file, or by some other intuitive means.

Is this a possibility?

Can't this go in ~/.cvsrc?

Mark,

I have been unable to backup my 9500 MDS switches since I've gotten RANCID,
and have been relying on other tools to archive the configs.

What changes did you make to enable the archival of these devices? I'm not
much of a coder, so the more info on what you did the better.

Thanks,

Eric,

The diffs against Rancid 2.3.1 are below. Basically, it sets the type to
be "SAN" if it sees the string "Cisco Storage Area Networking Software",
and then assumes it's found the end of the config if it's seen more than
five lines of output and the router type is "SAN". That was enough to
get it to work for me...

Cheers,

Mark
