Hello,

I'm using rancid 3.7 to backup a Dell PowerConnect 7048 with success. However, with the 70xx series, every time the power watts status of the device change, a backup is taken. see an example bellow:

You may need to modify or create a new definition that doesn’t pull the power readings like that. I had to do this with the nx-os for Fiber channel switches that had a flash area that regularly changed.

You will most likely need to edit the rancid.types.base or rancid.types.conf and remove the line that correlates to your platform that you’ve identified in your router.db

I am not too familiar with the Powerconnects or the Rancid config for them or I would be able to be more help.

For Nexus I removed the following line from the rancid.types.base as an example

cisco-nx;command;nxos::DirSlotN;dir debug:
