Note DFM does not support switch clusters. A switch cluster is a group of switches that comprise a master switch and slave switches. This relationship allows network management systems (NMSs) to query the master switch for information about the slave switches.

---

Documentation Addenda

The following information is missing from the hardcopy, online help, or PDF versions of the DFM documentation. The documentation on Cisco.com has been updated with this information.

DFM Installation and Occupied Ports

During installation, if DFM detects another application using port 162, DFM displays the following message:

WARNING: Installation has detected port 162 in use. DFM is set to use 
port 9000 for receiving SNMP traps.

If you see this message during installation, refer to Installing and Setting Up Device Fault Manager.

DFM Device Naming Convention

A device can be discovered either from a seed file or by using Add Agent from the DFM consoles. To assign a name to the discovered device, DFM uses the following algorithm:

1. DFM obtains a value of sysName from the device SNMP agent.

2. DFM tries to resolve sysName and obtain the IP addresses from DNS:

a. If the DNS lookup for sysName succeeds and returns an IP address (or addresses) associated with the SNMP agent, sysName becomes nodename.

b. If the DNS lookup for sysName fails, DFM checks to see if either the seedfile or Add Agent procedure specified the device as a name. If it did, the seedfile name becomes nodename.

c. If the DNS lookup for sysName fails and the device was not specified as a name, DFM checks to see if either the seedfile or Add Agent procedure specified the device as an IP address. If it did, DFM tries to resolve the IP address from DNS:

— If the DNS lookup for the IP address succeeds and returns a name, this name becomes nodename.

— If the DNS lookup for the IP address fails, the seedfile IP address becomes nodename.

This approach emphasizes the importance of specifying DNS resolvable names as sysName; otherwise the IP address may be used.

Both Windows NT and Windows 2000 can be configured to use NetBios over TCP/IP. If NetBios over TCP/IP is used and a DNS lookup fails, the Windows NT and Windows 2000 name resolver continues searching using NetBios name resolution. As a result, certain hosts (either Windows-based hosts or Windows-based router cards, such as the Cisco CallManager) might be named according to their NetBios names. Because these names might not immediately correspond to any IP address or DNS name, this could confuse users. Additionally, in certain cases the NetBios name resolution might depend on device status—for example, if a device is up and responding to NetBios name queries, its name will be resolved.

To avoid confusion, disable NetBios over TCP/IP on any Windows NT or Windows 2000 servers running DFM. If this solution is unacceptable, make sure NetBios names are consistent with the DNS naming scheme.

Conditions for Changing the Default Polling Threshold

The polling threshold is set to four minutes, by default. You may want to adjust this threshold depending on your network configuration—specifically:

•Geographic area your network covers.

•Number of routers, switches, and other objects managed by DFM.

•Number of trunk ports managed by DFM.

•DFM server configuration, such as memory or processor speed.

A useful method for changing this threshold is to create a group and then assign a threshold to that group. For example, you might want to create a group of four or five routers and set those routers to poll every 30 seconds. For more information on groups and settings, refer to the Device Fault Manager User Guide (available from online help).

Creating New Groups

Keep these points in mind when creating a group:

•Because groups created without any settings are not polled, be sure to map settings to any groups you create.

•If you do create a group without any settings, do not manage any ports in the group. Although managing such ports is allowed, no MIBs will be polled.

•Regardless of the settings you attach to a group, default polling is done where the default MIBs are queried.

For more information on groups and settings, refer to the Device Fault Manager User Guide (available from online help).

Subscribing to Multiple Events with a Notification Adapter

The Device Fault Manager User Guide describes how to configure adapters to subscribe to particular events. To configure a single notification adapter to subscribe to diverse classes and events, add the following code fragments to the appropriate notification adapter configuration file:

SubscribesTo =

{

	GA_ChoiceSubscription::Name-All-Subscriptions

	{

	# Subscribe to events whose class, instance, and event

	# names match the given pattern.

		 className = "class"

	      instanceName = ".*"

		 eventName = "event"

		aggregates = {TRUE | FALSE}

		  symptoms = {TRUE | FALSE}

	},

	GA_ChoiceSubscription::Name-All-Subscriptions

	{

	# Subscribe to events whose class, instance, and event

	# names match the given pattern.

		 className = "class"

	      instanceName = ".*"

		 eventName = "event"

		aggregates = {TRUE | FALSE}

		  symptoms = {TRUE | FALSE}

	}

}

Keep the following in mind:

•Name must be unique.

•Separate each GA_ChoiceSubscription code fragment with a comma (except for the last fragment).

•Provide values for class and event according to the list on pages 10-9 through 10-12 of the Device Fault Manager User Guide.

•Specify TRUE or FALSE depending on whether or not you want to subscribe to aggregates (compound events) and symptoms.

For example, to configure the Mail Notifier Adapter to track all router and switch aggregates (compound events), along with all chassis symptoms, add the following to the Mail Notifier Adapter configuration file:

SubscribesTo =

{

	GA_ChoiceSubscription::Router-All-Subscriptions

	{

	# Subscribe to events whose class, instance, and event

	# names match the given pattern.

		 className = "Router"

	      instanceName = ".*"

		 eventName = ".*"

		aggregates = TRUE 

		  symptoms = TRUE 

	},

	GA_ChoiceSubscription::Switch-All-Subscriptions

	{

	# Subscribe to events whose class, instance, and event

	# names match the given pattern.

		 className = "Switch"

	      instanceName = ".*"

		 eventName = ".*"

		aggregates = TRUE

		  symptoms = TRUE 

	},

	GA_ChoiceSubscription::Chassis-All-Subscriptions

	{

	# Subscribe to events whose class, instance, and event

	# names match the given pattern.

		 className = ".*"

	      instanceName = ".*"

		 eventName = ".*"

		aggregates = FALSE

		  symptoms = TRUE 

	}

}

Documentation Errata

The following documentation errata is in the hardcopy, product online help, or PDF versions of the DFM documentation. The documentation on Cisco.com has been updated with these corrections.

---

Note In the following topics, NMSROOT represents the CiscoWorks2000 installation directory (by default, C:\Program Files\CSCOpx).

---

Exporting DFM 1.0 Information to an Upgraded Remote Host

On page 2-14 of Installing and Setting Up Device Fault Manager on Windows 2000 and Windows NT, in the section "Exporting DFM 1.0 Information to an Upgraded Remote Host," step 10 instructs you to issue these commands:

C:\> cd NMSROOT\rigel\scripts

C:\> NMSROOT\bin perl import_dfm.pl

When you add the path NMSROOT\bin before the perl command, the machine cannot resolve the path and does not execute the script.

The workaround is to issue the perl command without specifying the path NMSROOT\bin, as follows:

C:\> cd NMSROOT\rigel\scripts

C:\> perl import_dfm.pl

Unregistering and Reregistering Adapter Daemons

The following pages in Installing and Setting Up Device Fault Manager on Windows 2000 and Windows NT are missing instructions for unregistering and reregistering adapter daemons:

•Pages 2-4 and 2-5, Step 12

•Pages 2-10 and 2-11, Step 13

•Pages 2-17 and 2-18, Step 14

A process cannot be unregistered if any running processes depend on it. This is the sequence for unregistering the DFM processes:

1. Unregister the notification adapter processes (which depend on the DfmServer process).

2. Unregister the DfmServer process (which depends on the DfmBroker process).

3. Unregister the DfmBroker process.

To reregister the processes, perform these steps in reverse.

Step a and Step c should therefore read as follows:

a. Unregister the daemons with the daemon manager:

–For DFM notification adapters:

# NMSROOT\bin\pdcmd.exe -u DfmFileNotifier

# NMSROOT\bin\pdcmd.exe -u DfmTrapNotifier

# NMSROOT\bin\pdcmd.exe -u DfmMailNotifier

–For DfmServer:

# NMSROOT\bin\pdcmd.exe -u DfmServer

–For DfmBroker:

# NMSROOT\bin\pdcmd.exe -u DfmBroker

b. (Refer to Installing and Setting Up Device Fault Manager on Windows 2000 and Windows NT; this step is correct as is.)

c. Re-register the daemons with the daemon manager, specifying the clients that can connect to the broker and server (in this example, the DFM broker port is 9002 and lucy and ethel are the clients):

–For DfmBroker (the following command is one line):

# NMSROOT\bin\pdcmd.exe -r DfmBroker -e NMSROOT\objects\smarts\bin\brstart.exe -f 
"--output --port=9002 --accept=lucy,ethel 
--restore=NMSROOT\objects\smarts\conf\broker.rps"

–For DfmServer (the following command is one line):

# NMSROOT\bin\pdcmd.exe -r DfmServer -e NMSROOT\objects\smarts\bin\sm_server.exe -d 
DfmBroker -f "--bootstrap=DFM_bootstrap.conf --accept=lucy,ethel --output --name=DFM"

–For DFM notification adapters (the following commands are each one line, and will register the adapter processes to automatically start upon reboot):

# NMSROOT\bin\pdcmd.exe -r DfmFileNotifier -d DfmServer -e 
NMSROOT\objects\smarts\bin\sm_notify.exe -f "--adapter=filelog --output=sm_file_notifier"

# NMSROOT\bin\pdcmd.exe -r DfmTrapNotifier -d DfmServer -e 
NMSROOT\objects\smarts\bin\sm_notify.exe -f "--adapter=trap --output=sm_trap_notifier"

# NMSROOT\bin\pdcmd.exe -r DfmMailNotifier -d DfmServer -e 
NMSROOT\objects\smarts\bin\sm_notify.exe -f "--adapter=mail --output=sm_mail_notifier"

If you do not want the daemons to start after a reboot, add the -n option to the end of the command, as in this File Notifier Adapter example:

# NMSROOT\bin\pdcmd.exe -r DfmFileNotifier -d DfmServer -e 
NMSROOT\objects\smarts\bin\sm_notify.exe -f "--adapter=filelog --output=sm_file_notifier" 
-n

DFM Process Dependencies

Page 11-11 of the Device Fault Manager User Guide lists the DfmChangeProbe process as being dependent on the EssentialsDbEngine and DfmServer processes. This is not correct. The DfmChangeProbe process depends on the EssentialsDbEngine and EssentialsDbMonitor processes.

Using the Command Line

In the Device Fault Manager User Guide, most command line interface (CLI) commands represent the UNIX command convention. For example, the following command is from page 6-13, and extracts a list of SNMP agents for a seed file:

# NMSROOT/objects/smarts/bin/sm_tpmgr -s DFM --dump-agents > seedfile.txt

For Windows platforms, the proper syntax would be:

# NMSROOT\objects\smarts\bin\sm_tpmgr.exe -s DFM --dump-agents > seedfile.txt

Unless otherwise noted, all Windows CLI commands should have an .exe suffix. For example, to find out how many trunk and access ports are currently imported into DFM (from page 1-7 of the hardcopy and PDF versions of the installation guide), use this command:

# NMSROOT\objects\smarts\bin\sm_tpmgr.exe --server=DFM --sizes

Table 1 Device Fault Manager Known Problems 

Bug ID	Summary	Explanation
CSCdt22462	6 minute delay while downloading console on Win2K	Refer to the Release Notes for CiscoWorks2000 CD One, 4th Edition, for more information.
CSCdt27758	Notification process not seen in CW2K desktop process status	When a user disables any of the notification adapter processes, the processes are unregistered from CiscoWorks2000 and are not displayed when the user selects Server Configuration >  Administration > Process Management. Conversely, when a user enables the processes, the processes are registered and are displayed. There is no workaround. This action occurs by design and is documented in the DFM user and installation guides.
CSCdr21203	Install on Windows does not always reboot, causing server to fail	At the end of a DFM installation on Windows 2000 and Windows NT, the installation program asks the user to select reboot to reboot the machine. However, occasionally Windows 2000 and Windows NT are only restarted, and the machine is not rebooted. Because the installation adds registry entries, DFM will not operate correctly if the machine is not rebooted. This is a known bug in InstallShield 5.5. The workaround is to manually reboot the machine.
CSCdt57822	Cat3548XL memory/processor support?	Certain IOS-based devices (such as the 3548XL) are not fully supported in DFM 1.1. These devices will be fully supported in an upcoming Incremental Device Support (IDS) package. There is no workaround.
CSCdr31406	HELP option needs to be replaced with VERSION	The Help menu located on the DFM consoles contains DFM software version information, not online help about the DFM product. To access the DFM online help, use the CiscoWorks2000 Help button located above the CiscoWorks2000 navigation tree.
CSCdt15420	Adding MSFC/RSFC/RSM IP address individually doesn't classify	When an MSFC/RSFC/RSM IP address is added to DFM, but the parent switch IP address has not yet been added, the MSFC/RSFC/RSM is discovered but added only in the IP class. The workaround is to add the parent switch first. Note If the MSFC/RSFC/RSM SNMP community string is different from that of the parent switch, DFM will not discover the MSFC/RSFC/RSM. You must explicitly give the MSFC/RSFC/RSM IP address and community string. DFM will then discover them after discovering the parent switch.
CSCdt15538	Inconsistent Monitoring Consoles	Monitoring Consoles have a different display, depending on where you launch them from: •If you use the Administration Console toolbar button, the Monitoring Console displays the Inventory Browser. •If you select File > New > Monitoring Console from any running console, the Monitoring Console displays the Inventory Browser. •If you use Device Fault Manager >  Monitoring Console, the Monitoring Console does not display the Inventory Browser. The workaround is to manually change the layout of your consoles as described in the Device Fault Manager User Guide (available from online help).
CSCdt61184	Managed - Unmanage menus are not working in Administration Console	After a user unmanages an element using the Administration Console Edit > Unmanage option, the Edit > Manage option becomes disabled. The workaround is to right-click the element and select Manage, or go to another device and click Back.
CSCds27261	Monitoring Console allows the user to make changes to attributes	When a user logs into the CiscoWorks2000 console as administrator and invokes the Administration or Monitoring Console, the user can change Monitoring Console attributes. (Users logging in without administrator privileges cannot change these attributes.) If the administrator logs out without exiting the browser, users with lesser privileges can log in and change the attributes. The workaround for making sure users without administrator privileges cannot change the attributes is to log out and exit the browser.
CSCds84738	FXS voice port returns value as Other when Dormant	Currently the router interfaces monitored by DFM show status Up, Down, or Other. Because Dormant or any other status mentioned in the description is not recognized, any status other than Up or Down is displayed as Other. Products running on DFM import status information for Routers from DFM; hence dependent products will also show the status as Other.
CSCdt61923	Right-clicking events at bottom of Monitoring Console throws NullPoint	On Windows 2000, if a user selects an alarm from a Monitoring Console and right-clicks it, but the Monitoring Console is at the bottom of the window, the drag-and-drop menu throws a NullPointerException. The workaround is to select the alarm and then use the Monitoring Console Event menu instead of right-clicking the alarm.
CSCdr91450	Long discovery period causes time out	When DFM discovers Catalyst 3524XL devices, and the devices are running 12.0(5.1)XP, SNMP requests may time out. The workaround is to upgrade Catalyst 3524XL devices to 12.0(5)XU or later.
CSCdr93198	GUI: Trend View shows the Future data in graph	Periodically, the DFM TrendView shows future data in the graph. There is no workaround. TrendView is not supported in DFM 1.0 or 1.1.
CSCdr97458	Invoking a script from Monitoring console doesn't work	In the Monitoring Console, if a user selects Event > Script and supplies a script, nothing happens. There is no workaround. This functionality is not supported in DFM 1.0 or 1.1.
CSCdr98754	Certainty value is always 100%	In the Alarm log, by design, all events have a Certainty value of 100%. DFM analysis does not include partial relationships—for example, 4 of 4 symptoms means 100% certainty that the problem is known; 3 of 4 symptoms means 75% certainty; and so forth. DFM 1.0 displays alarms only when all correlation criteria have been met, so the certainty for displayed alarms is always 100%. There is no workaround.
CSCds26001	Installing DFM in machine without OV/NV gives warning	When installing DFM, if HP OpenView or NetView are not detected during the DFM installation process, the installation program displays this message: WARNING: Neither HP-OpenView or NetView installed. However, this message is misleading, because DFM does not require HP OpenView or NetView. There is no workaround. Ignore the message.
CSCdt69972	Import_dfm.pl should ask user to initiate rediscovery	After a user issues the import_dfm.pl command to import DFM data from a remote host, the device information in the DFM repository may be out of date. The user should initiate a rediscovery of all devices to make sure that DFM reflects the current state of managed devices. To rediscover all devices, select Inventory > Inventory Collect All from the Administration Console.
CSCdt91653	Clicking on open console should bring window to foreground	When a user clicks on an open Administration or Monitoring Console, DFM should bring the console window to the foreground (instead of displaying a message that the console is already running). There is no workaround.
