macsuck: status error: Can't call method "make_column_dirty"

[Disco402]

Hello,

Getting this when trying to macsuck now

Unsure if a recent netdisco upgrade broke it as it was previously working Any ideas?

ACI Version 5.2(7g) - Was previously working with this Netdisco version - 2.072003

Hi! It seems like this error will happen if a fabric switch or port is returned by the API that is not discovered in device/device_port by the regular SNMP discovery.

Maybe you can add the line

info sprintf ' [%s] store_epg_custom_fields - updating fabric switch %s port %s',  $device->ip, $leaf_ip, $port;

in /home/netdisco/nd2-worker-plugin-aci/lib/App/NetdiscoX/Worker/Plugin/Macsuck/Nodes.pm line 22 and see if this switch/port shows up in the web interface? If not, just discovering it again might fix it. Otherwise please paste the output here and I'll check if I can somehow reproduce this.

Hi @rc9000,

See output below

ITO_INSIDE_PC_PG is port-channel1 on switch 172.27.129.13... I assume this is because its trying to go to PcAggrIf_name rather than the actual port name like the others e.g. Ethernet1/37

macsuck output always stops after it hits ITO_INSIDE_PC_PG. It doesn't seem to be port-channel types specifically because on multiple runs I get other switches returning correctly

[Disco402]

Should be noted to that ITO_INSIDE_PC_PG is a single switch port-channel where as almost all other port-channels are VPCs

[rc9000]

Thanks, apparently this will need some special handling for this type of port-channel. This is basically an old-school port-channel with two Eth interfaces bundled on the same switch that you have there? Or a single interface (if that's even possible)?

I've committed a hotfix for now that will just skip an interface like this, and at least do the rest. I'll see if I can find this case in our environment and try to make it work properly by also finding the EPG participation, but that might take a while.

[rc9000]

Actually never mind about the port channel details, I found a couple in our environment. Thanks for reporting!

Yeah its a "traditional" port-channel with 2 interfaces on 1 switch. I think its the only one in our environment. I'll test the hotfix today

[Disco402]

Ignoring that port works great, thanks
