System Requirements

In addition to the CWM platform requirements listed in the Cisco WAN Manager Installation Guide, Release 15.1, also consider the following:

CWM 15.1 is compatible with UltraSPARC II and UltraSPARC III. Refer to Tables 1 through 4 for the system requirements for certified platforms. The Ultra 60, Enterprise 450 and Enterprise 4500 can still be used with CWM 15.1. These were previously certified with earlier releases of CWM. For certified system requirements, refer to the System Requirement Guidelines in the CWM release notes for Release 11.0.10, but the minimum RAM needs to be 2 GB. Problems reported by customers who choose a non certified configuration may take more time to troubleshoot, resulting in a longer turnaround time. CWM technical support will not be provided for Sun configurations or products that are no longer supported by Sun Microsystems.

Video is required when using the Java Client access to CWM. Video on the CWM server is only required for user access or maintenance on the CWM server. Video can be added to Sun servers/workstations. For Ultra and Enterprise this requires a video adapter.

You may upgrade the standard configuration with more CPU speed, RAM size, and disk space for future expansion.

The default disk size for the Informix raw database is 1.7 GB. However, we strongly recommend you provide 2 GB disk space for the statistics collection process. Note that if statistics collection is done using CWM then multiple 2GB partition chunks are required to be added to Informix. Refer to the Cisco WAN Manager Installation, Release 15.1, OL-6259-01 for more information on disk partitioning.

While CWM is running, if the remote display is stopped without properly shutting down the CWM Desktop, then reopening it remotely may not succeed.

File size of 2M bytes (typically holds statistics with peak enabled for 20K endpoints).

The number of files does not increase with smaller file size.

Average Network Transfer Rate is the required TFTP/FTP throughput to collect of the Max # of files (combination of Server performance and network bandwidth/traffic).

If you have enabled the Parser on the CWM Server, add the Parser System Requirement to the requirements listed in Table 1.

The Standalone Statistics Collector (SSC) has the same system requirements as the Standalone Statistics Manager. If you have enabled the Parser, add the Parser System Requirement to the system requirements listed in Table 3.

A maximum of twelve Standalone Statistics Collectors can be controlled by one Standalone Statistics Manager.

Five statistics are collected from each connection segment endpoints and 15-minute file collection interval.

Add the applicable system requirements in Table 4 to the CWM Server requirements in Table 1 if the Parser Function is enabled.

Collecting statistics for four million endpoints with 5 statistics per endpoint requires 80 GB disk space per 24 hour period. You will need at least 3 x 36 GB of disk space.

New Features and Enhancements in CWM Release 15

Features Introduced in CWM Release 15.1.00

This section describes the new features introduced in Cisco WAN Manager Release 15.1.00.

MGX 8850 and MGX 8830 Release 5 (PXM45-based nodes and PXM1E-based nodes)

CWM 15.1.00 adds support for the MPSM-T3E3-155 MultiLink Frame Relay (MLFR) feature on switches running Release 5.0.20 or 5.1.00 software.

MGX 8880, MGX 8850, and MGX 8830 Release 5 nodes (both PXM1E-based and PXM45-based nodes)

CWM 15.1.00 adds support for collecting bulk statistics from the VISM-PR running Release 3.3 of the VISM software. None of the other new 3.3 features are supported

MGX 8850, 8250, and 8230 Release 1.3.10 (PXM1-based nodes)

MGX 8850, 8250, and 8230 (PXM1-based nodes) running Release 1.3.10 will recognize both the VISM and VISM-PR running Release 3.3 of the VISM software, but the new 3.3 features are not supported on PXM1-based nodes.

WANDEST 2.6-Specific Enhancements

Selectable Triggers for Database Tables

In the WANDEST releases before Release 2.6, every table within the stratacom database was accessed by WANDEST, regardless of whether you used the table or not. Now you can select the tables you need. Refer to the WANDEST Installation and Reference, Release 2.6 for more information on setting up this feature.

Unsupported Features and Known Feature Limitations in CWM Release 15.1.00

The following features are not supported in CWM Release 15.1.00:

CID level traps are not sent to CWM to prevent potential trap flooding.

CID level statistics are not available in bulk statistics file format from the VXSM modules.

XPVC support on the FRSM T3E3 in PXM45-based switches has not been tested.

Several windows display fields relating to the MPSM-T3E3-155 MultiLink Frame Relay (MLFR) feature, which is not currently supported.

When managing VISM service modules that are running Release 3.2.10, CWM only supports the Release 3.2 features.

The following features introduced in VISM 3.1 are not accessible from CWM:

TGCP

Dynamic Payload

T.38 Fax Relay

The CWM database is not populated with the MPG configuration data. Instead, the Service Agent accesses the configuration directly from the switch.

The following cards are not supported by CWM 15.1.00:

The BME card is not supported.

The FRSM12 service module is not supported.

The URM, ARM, FRM, BTM, ALM and CVM service modules are not supported.

If you have these unsupported service modules you can either stay with CWM 12 or upgrade to the newer supported service modules to take advantage of the new CWM 15.1 GUI enhancements.

Limitations

1. Cisco does not recommend pointing multiple CWM workstations at the same gateway node.

2. CWM does not support use of the Korn Shell.

3. When /usr/users becomes 100 percent full, the orbix processes are not able to write to the disk and thus, cannot continue operations.

Correct the problem by first freeing up some disk space in /usr/users, then restarting the orbix processes and CWM using the following procedure:


Step 1 Stop the core.

Step 2 Exit out of the CWM prompt.

Step 3 Run the stoporbix2000 script.

Step 4 Type CWM.

You should see "Starting Orbix..." in the ~svplus/log/.startStopOrbix.log file.

Step 5 Start the core.


4. When the client machine cannot be pinged from the server the following message may be seen on the CWM workstation:

Exception raised while calling activateLease on 
pseudoServer.IT_ATLI_IOP:CONNECTION_CREATION_TIMEOUT

The error message is printed when the server tries to contact the client, but is not able to. The call is initiated by the GUI client in order to activate the lease plug-in that the client uses to detect a server crash.

The problem is with the client machine DNS setup. The client machine cannot be pinged from the server.

The DNS is configured so that the client can communicate with the server, but when the server tries to contact the client machine it fails.

The resolution is to make sure the client machine is pingable from the CWM workstation.

Possible reasons for the server not being able to ping the client are:

There may be a firewall on the client PC that prevents it from being seen from outside.

The network routing from the server to the client is not set up properly.

5. When the SSM (Standalone Statistics Manager) is installed with the SCM Gateway configuration, the SCM GUI does not open when the primary SSM and secondary SSM are started simultaneously (or within a time gap of 30 seconds to 1 minute).

Avoid this problem by waiting 2 to 3 minutes after starting core in the primary SSM before starting core in the secondary SSM in the SCM Gateway configuration.

6. When there is a shortage of shared memory on the workstation, the Informix engine may generate an operating system error. The following example from the online.log shows this error:

shmat: [22]: operating system error
18:45:49  shmat: [22]: operating system error
18:45:57  Error writing '/tmp/shmem.1fd4555c.0' errno = 4
18:45:57  mt.c, line 10260, thread 7148, proc id 1008, errors occurred during mt_
notifyvp.

When this error occurs, the statsparser is not able to perform any database related operations.

The error can be resolved temporarily by changing the /etc/system configuration as follows:

forceload: sys/shmsys
forceload: sys/semsys
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=1073741824
set semsys:seminfo_semaem=16384
set semsys:seminfo_semmap=5000
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=8192
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=8192
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=8192
set semsys:seminfo_semume=256
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=50000
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=256
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=32000
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=256
