Im having some issues getting rancid working with my F5 load balancers.

Here is what my routers.db looks like

[***@sjc-corp-net01 observium]# cat router.db | grep lb
atl-lb01;f5;up
atl-lb02;f5;up
gz-lb01;f5;up
gz-lb02;f5;up

ryd-lb02;f5;up
sjc-lb01;f5;up
sjc-lb02;f5;up
[***@sjc-corp-net01 observium]#

When I run rancid I get the following

[***@sjc-corp-net01 rancid]# cat observium.20160329.101355
starting: Tue Mar 29 10:13:55 PDT 2016

Trying to get all of the configs.
ERROR: sjc-lb01 configuration appears truncated.

Is this because I have partitions configured on my f5, and if so how do I resolve this?

it does so if receives less than 3 lines of configuration.

So that would mean the commands are not working, how do I troubleshoot
that?

Here is the output, am I using the wrong version of f5rancid?

yes, i expect so. you will need to run the commands to check for
yourself.
like
eval `f5rancid -C hostname`

that script looks like it's built for v10 of f5's software... 'bigpipe'
commands will no longer run, so you would need to change them to 'tmsh'
commands.

I’ve updated my f5rancid script to use this one
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotwaffle/rancid-git/master/bin/f5rancid.in
However it’s still not working. Is there something additional I need to do?

I've attempted to import the v11 support as type "bigip" here:
ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/alpha/rancid-3.4.99.tar.gz
Someone will have to test it for me though. I tried the bigip 12.0 ova,
but vbox is returning an error when I try importing it.
