      Hi Folks.

      Just realized that hcinetdiff tool does not perform comparisons on Wild route check.

      Code:

      % hcinetdiff NetConfig NetConfig.bkp
      The comparison is completed and there is no difference.
      %
      % diff NetConfig NetConfig.bkp
      4273c4273
      <             { WILDCARD ON } --- >             { WILDCARD OFF }
      %

      Since we are using hcinetdiff as a validation tool to identify changes in NetConfig – this is definitely not a good news for us. 🙁

      We are on Cloverleaf 5.8.5

          I have noticed the same. To fix this, hcinetdiff needs to be modified to add the missing configuration items (ps hcinetdiff is a tcl script and has the items that should be diff’d at the bottom)

          I also found nLoad/nfSave also have the issue of missing configuration information that is required in 5.8.

            HA!

            Glad you posted that!  I just realized it ignores changes to the bind address as well!

              OK, so I have been successfully add bind address detection as well as several other relevant difference values.  But there are two that i really need, but cannot access becuase they are in the prologue:

              There is no pre-defined section for prologue in the default DiffList, so I tried this, but with no avail:

              set DiffList(prologue) {

                 { who: “GUI user” }

                 { date: “Config change time/date” }

              }

              Any ideas?  I guess I could just pipe everything before “end_prologue” to the standard diff, but would like to do it all in the hci command if possible.

                To include the diff for the prologue, you’ll probably need to modify some files.

                The loading of the NetConfig is in: $HCIROOT/tcl/lib/cloverleaf/nci.tlib

                This is missing a netcfgGetPrologue proc. See below for the update I made to grab this info:

                Code:

                diff nci.tlib.bak nci.tlib
                109c109
                #@package: nci netconfig netcfgLoad netcfgModified netcfgGetVersion netcfgGetConnList netcfgGetDestList netcfgGetConnCount runtimeGetConnCount netcfgGetGroupList netcfgGetGroupCount netcfgGetProcList netcfgGetProcCount netcfgGetConnData netcfgGetProcData netcfgGetDestData netcfgGetProcConns netcfgGetPrologue netcfgIsConnInProcess netcfgGetGroupConns netcfgIsConnInGroup netcfgGetConnCacheMsgFlag netcfgReloadLock netcfgLoadCheck runtimeRootConnCount

                > #   netcfgGetPrologue   – Get the Prologue
                178a180
                > #    get prologue list                  netcfgGetPrologue
                305a308,319
                > # netcfgGetPrologue
                > #
                > # PACKAGE-EXPORT: netcfgGetPrologue
                > #
                > proc netcfgGetPrologue {} {
                >     global _nfg_Prologue
                >
                >     NCFG:checkReload            ;# Reload if necessary
                >     return $_nfg_Prologue
                > }
                >
                > ######################################################################
                670c684
                    global _ncfg_ConnData _ncfg_ProcessData _ncfg_ProcessConns _ncfg_Version _nfg_Prologue
                712c726
                    if [getNetVersion $ncf _ncfg_Version _nfg_Prologue] {

                The hcinetdiff would also need an update to compare the prologue data.
