Package: rancid-core
Version: 2.3.2~a8-4
Severity: important
Rancid fails to pull configs from our HP ProCurve 5406. It works fine
with our other Procurves (25xx, 26xx, 28xx, etc.).
It turns out that the problem was that the 5406 does not have a "show
system-information" command. It is simply "show system" on that
chassis.
Luckily, "show system" still works on the other ProCurve systems, so I
edited hrancid to change the command it used to pull information. A
diff -u output is below, my edited copy is hrancid-5406:

- {'show system-information' => 'ShowSystem'},

{'show module' => 'ShowModule'},
{'show stack' => 'ShowStack'},
{'write term' => 'WriteTerm'}
Note that my error log is very similar to bug 426839. I do not have a
5304XL to test with so I did not attach this information to that bug,
but I would bet that it is a similar syntax change.
Based on the switches I have here, the "show system" command would be
unambiguous for all ProCurve switches, so this change might be something
to push upstream.
Cheers,
James
