Hardware and Software Requirements
Patch/IDU 1.2.10 can be installed on a system running any of the following configurations.
•DFM 1.2 alone or running with Patch/IDU 1.2.1 through 1.2.9.
•DFM 1.2 Updated for Common Services Version 2.2 alone or running with:
–DFM Patch/IDU 1.2.4
–DFM Patch/IDU 1.2.5 through 1.2.9 (with or without the LAN Management Solution 2.2 Update 1)
Hardware and software requirements remain unchanged from those needed for the initial installation of DFM 1.2 or DFM 1.2 Updated for Common Services Version 2.2.
Patch/IDU 1.2.10 files are downloaded in a compressed form. To prevent overwriting of files in existing directories as well as ensure that adequate disk space is available, users should download the files to a temporary working area of their server, and then uncompress the files.
Step 1 Make sure you have adequate free space, then, from the DFM download page at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cw2000-dfm, click the cw-dfm-idu1-2-10-sol.tar.Z link and follow the instructions to download the file to a temporary working area of your server.
Step 2 Make sure you have adequate free space for the uncompression, then uncompress the file in the temporary working area:
# uncompress cw-dfm-idu1-2-10-sol.tar.Z
Step 3 Extract the distribution file:
# tar xvf cw-dfm-idu1-2-10-sol.tar
Installing the Patch/IDU
Caution You cannot remove Patch/IDU 1.2.10 after installing it. To return to your original configuration, you will have to uninstall and reinstall DFM.
Step 1 Move to the directory the downloaded file is in:
# cd SOL_DFM1_2_10/image/disk1
Step 2 Run the installation setup script:
# ./setup.sh
Note You can run the installation remotely. For information on mounting and unmounting disks, refer to Installation and Setup Guide for Device Fault Manager on Solaris. Hardware and software requirements remain unchanged from those needed for the initial installation of DFM 1.2, DFM 1.2 Updated for Common Services Version 2.2, or VHM 1.1. For information on installing DFM 1.2 or DFM 1.2 Updated for Common Services Version 2.2, refer to Installation and Setup Guide for Device Fault Manager on Solaris. You can view this document by logging onto Cisco.com and going to http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cw2000/dfm/dfm123cd/install/solaris/index.htm.
Step 3 Follow the prompts in the installation script. The options displayed by the installation script depend on your configuration.
Step 4 To verify the installation, select Server Configuration > About the Server > Applications and Versions. In the Installed Patches column, the Device Fault Manager Incremental Device Update row should display 10.
Step 5 From the Administration Console, rediscover the devices with ISDN interfaces and the devices supported in this patch/IDU by selecting the devices and right-clicking Inventory > Rediscover.
Step 6 Remove the distribution files from the temporary working area on your server.
Known DFM/IDU Problems
The following tables describe the known problems in Patch/IDU 1.2.10.
1841: CurrentUtilization for FastEthernet interfaces not computed
The Cisco 1841 does not compute CurrentUtilization because HighCounter MIBs are not implemented for interfaces with speeds greater than 100 Mbps. To determine whether this is due to a device bug, a bug against the Cisco 1841 has been opened (CSCef58995). There is currently no workaround.
CSCsa34254
SNMPAgent InvalidResonse alarm not cleared
DFM does not clear the SNMPAgent InvalidResonse symptom, even after the device is configured with the required (ro) community string. It is not cleared until DFM rediscovers the device.
There is currently no workaround. To clear the symptom, rediscover the device.
CSCsa35088
6509-NEBA: No support for 9-slot vertical chassis
DFM does not support the Catalyst 6509-NEB-A 9-slot vertical chassis.
There is currently no workaround.
CSCsa36156
Trap forwarding IP not validated before configuration
If a user configures trap forwarding without an IP address (by clicking OK without completing the form), DFM configures trap forwarding but with no forwarding address. DFM should validate the IP address before configuring trap forwarding.
Use one of these workarounds:
•Reconfigure trap forwarding and restart the DFM server.
•Disable trap forwarding.
CSCsa36885
WS-SVC-CMM does not fully implement ifXTable
DFM does not generate the following symptoms for the WS-SVC-CMM: HighUtilizationRate, HighDiscardRate, HighCollisionRate, HighBroadcastRate, HighQueueDropRate, and HighErrorRate. This is because a number of OIDs are not implemented in the ifXTable.
There is currently no workaround. A bug has been opened against the WS-SVC-CMM (CSCin83708).
CSCsa36887
Cisco 2801 does not fully implement ifXTable
DFM does not generate the following symptoms for the Cisco 2801: HighUtilization, HighDiscardRate, HighCollisionRate, HighBroadcastRate, HighQueueDropRate, and HighErrorRate. This is because several OIDs are not implemented in the ifXTable.
There is currently no workaround. A bug has been opened against the Cisco 2801 (CSCin83710).
CSCsa38656
WLSE does not fully implement MIB-II ifTable
DFM does not generate the following symptoms for the WLSE: HighDiscardRate, HighCollisionRate, HighBroadcastRate, HighQueueDropRate, and HighErrorRate. This is because several OIDs are not implemented in the ifXTable.
There is currently no workaround. A bug has been opened against the WLSE (CSCin83711).
CSCsa19013
Solaris: Stopping the daemons does not stop sm_server
When CiscoWorks is stopped, the DFM sm_server daemon sometimes continues to run.
The workaround is to manually stop the daemon PID using the kill -9 command.
Table 4 Known Problems Inherited from Patch/IDU 1.2.9
Bug ID
Summary
Explanation
CSCsa30084
IAD devices: sm_server hogs memory and CPU, and hangs when device SNMP agent loops
When a device with SNMP agent looping is added to DFM, the agent loops while querying for device elements. Because DFM continues to create multiple instances of the element, the sm_server eventually hogs all of the CPU and most of the virtual memory, and corrupts the DFM.rps file. This causes the DFM consoles to hang. This was observed on the IAD family of devices.
CSCsa26774
AP 340 does not generate DuplicateIP error
DFM does not report DuplicateIP events for the AP 340 because the IpAddr table is not populated for AP radio interfaces.
A bug has been opened against the AP 340 (CSCef17995). There is currently no workaround.
CSCsa23167
MWR 1900 does not report RepeatedRestarts
The MWR 1900 does not support the RepeatedRestarts fault because the device does not generate cold start and warm start traps.
. To determine whether this is due to a device bug, a bug against the MWR 1900 has been opened (CSCee75859). There is currently no workaround.
CSCsa23158
AP 340 does not report RepeatedRestarts
The AP 340 does not support the RepeatedRestarts fault because the device does not generate cold start and warm start traps.
To determine whether this is due to a device bug, a bug against the AP 340 has been opened (CSCee76825). There is currently no workaround.
CSCsa25319
CDM-4630 does not report RepeatedRestarts when host listening to custom ports
If a host is listening to custom ports, the CDM-4630 does not send traps to the host. In this situation, no RepeatedRestarts alarms are generated.

DFM does not generate fault when SNMP agent gives null response
DFM was not reporting SNMPAgent Unresponsive symptoms when it received a NULL response from an SNMP agent. This was misleading to users, since the agent was actually responding to SNMP queries with an invalid value, but DFM never detected this. DFM could neither polled the device nor reported there was a device polling problem.
This patch/IDU introduces a new symptom called InvalidResponse. It is part of the OperationalException compound that is reported on SNMP agents.

Explanation
CSCdx32239
Incorrect duplexity shown for router and switch interfaces and ports
DFM did not always report correct duplexity for router and switch interfaces. One reason this happened was because of assumptions DFM made when port or interface duplexity was UNSPECIFIED. With Patch/IDU 1.2.5 installed, if DFM could not correctly determine the duplex mode setting of a port/interface, it disabled all utilization and attribute rates. No duplexity was reported (eliminating HighUtilization alarms).
DFM now uses a new algorithm to determine duplexity (this information has been added to the user guide provided in the online help, where the Performance Exception is discussed):
1. DFM checks the portDuplexity MIB attribute in the CISCO-STACK-MIB, and:
a. If the value is set to either half duplex or full duplex, DFM uses that setting.
b. If the device is not a Cisco stack switch, the portDuplexity attribute is not present, or the portDuplexity attribute is present but its value is auto/disagree, DFM proceeds to Step 2.
(continued)
CSCdx32239 (continued)
Incorrect duplexity shown for router and switch ifs and ports
2. DFM checks the dot3StatsDuplexStatus MIB attribute in the ETHERLIKE-MIB, and:
a. If the value is set to either half duplex or full duplex, DFM uses that setting.
b. If the dot3StatsDuplexStatus attribute is not present, or it is present but its value is unknown, DFM proceeds to Step 3.
3. DFM checks the cdpCacheDuplex MIB attribute in the CISCO-CDP-MIB, and:
a. If the value is set to either half duplex or full duplex, DFM uses that setting.
b. If the value is unknown, DFM proceeds to Step 4.
4. Because it cannot correctly determine the duplex mode, DFM will do the following:
a. If the interface is a 10 MB Ethernet interface, DFM will assume the setting is half duplex. (DFM considers an interface to be a 10 MB Ethernet when its Type="*ETHER*" and its MaxSpeed=10000000.)
b. For all other interfaces, DFM will assume the setting is full duplex.
DFM generated duplicate alarms for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) interfaces. This occurred because DFM managed logical interfaces, and MPLS logical interfaces have a separate ifIndex.
Logical interfaces with ifType:166 (MPLS) are now unmanaged by default.

Cannot change trap community string
DFM did not provide the capability to configure the community string in the trap Protocol Data Unit (PDU). All traps generated by DFM contained a public community string. DFM did not provide the capability to change this configuration.

DFM uses wrong OID to poll CPU utilization on PIX
DFM was not reporting CPU utilization for PIX Firewalls because the algorithm used by DFM created the proper instrumentation when:
•cpmCPUTotalPhysicalIndex was nonzero, or
•The OLD-CISCO-CPU-MIB was supported.
For PIX Firewalls, cpmCPUTotalPhysicalIndex is always 0, and PIX Firewalls do not support OLD-CISCO-CPU-MIB.
DFM still polls cpmCPUTotalPhysicalIndex, but the value of cpmCPUTotalIndex is verified instead. cpmCPUTotalIndex is used as the index to make the processor.

If a user installed HP OpenView before DFM, HP OpenView used port 162 and DFM used port 9000. This is the correct behavior. However, if the user rebooted the device, the HP OpenView ovtrapd process could not start because DFM occupied port 162 as well as port 9000.
Now, if DFM detects that HP OpenView or NetView is installed, DFM will only use port 9000. (However, if you want DFM to always use port 162 upon reboot—for example, if you remove HP OpenView and NetView—you can use the --privopen option to do so. Refer to the online help for more information.)

NCM integration script fails because IDUs reregister DFM process
During Patch/IDU 1.2.5 and 1.2.6 installations, DFM processes were re-registered. This impacted customers who performed NCM integration, because domain name changes were lost when domain names reverted to DFM.
This problem no longer occurs.

Cannot launch DFM on Netscape clients
DFM occasionally failed to launch any consoles on Netscape clients when integrating VHM 1.0 with either of the following versions of DFM:
•DFM 1.2 with Patch/IDU 1.2.3
•DFM 1.2 Updated for Common Services Version 2.2
This problem occurred because VHM 1.0 did not have the security mechanism introduced in DFM 1.2 (and later versions). To disable this security, during DFM installation, the installation software asked if the user wanted to connect to VHM 1.0. If the user answered Yes, two files (clientConnect.conf and serverConnect.conf) were populated with information that disabled the security checks. Netscape browsers could not launch DFM consoles because the browsers could not correctly parse the information.
DFM now successfully launches its consoles on Netscape clients.

Layer 3 device port/interface handling is incorrect
When an IP address was assigned to a port on the Catalyst 4506 running IOS (with Sup III), DFM displayed it as both a port and an interface. An earlier IDU provided a fix for this problem, but only for a limited group of devices.
All multilayer switch ports, to which IP addresses are assigned, are now properly modeled as interfaces.
CSCdx64809
DFM should unmanage voice interfaces/ports
In IOS devices running the SRST (Survivable Remote Site Telephony) feature, a VoiceEncapPeer interface (in ifTable) exists for each phone supported by SRST. These interfaces were operationally DOWN by default, since they were not being used while the local IP phones could reach their remote call manager. DFM generated an OperationallyDown event for these interfaces, which was incorrect, since this was the normal and expected state.
DFM no longer generates an OperationallyDown event for these interfaces.
CSCea11383
DFM should not treat voice dial peers as regular interfaces
DFM was treating dial peer interfaces as physical interfaces and was managing them.
These interfaces are now not managed because DFM recognizes them (by their ifType) as voice interfaces.

DFM cannot discover third power supply in Cat4000 switches
DFM 1.2 (and earlier versions) could not discover the third power supply in Catalyst 4000 switches, even though the snmpwalk verified that the power supply was operational.
DFM now correctly discovers the power supply.

RSM, MSFC not deleted when removed from the switch
DFM retained deleted device components in its network and did not update the DFM repository to exclude nonexistent devices and components.
DFM no longer retains deleted device components in its repository.

Default SNMP timeout setting unrealistically low in GUI
The default SNMP timeout defined in DFM was 700 milliseconds for all polling types, which was unrealistically low.
The SNMP timeout can now be set between 1 and 60,000 milliseconds.
CSCeb22215
Unmanaged interfaces not removed from Polling & Thresholds Console
An earlier IDU provided a new method for unmanaging interfaces with a new setting called "Disable Port/Interface Analysis." However, when a user unmanaged a previously managed interface, the interface was removed from the Monitoring and Administration Consoles, but not from the Polling and Thresholds Console.
The interfaces are now properly removed from all consoles.
CSCeb41000
DFM should suppress flapping if device restarts
When a device restarted, all associated interfaces sent link up and link down traps. If the number of restarts exceeded the Link Trap threshold, DFM reported excessive restarts and flapping (depending on the interface type) for all associated interfaces.
The flapping event is now suppressed if the device restarts.

1% error threshold is too high for critical interfaces
The minimum for the error threshold (ifInerror) in DFM was 1% of the total number of packets, which was too high for high-bandwidth interfaces (such as Gbic and other WAN interfaces).
CSS11150 and CSS11050 switches generate incorrect memory exception
On CSS11150 and CSS11050 switches, DFM generated erroneous memory exceptions because instead of monitoring only the SCFM module, it was monitoring other modules (such as the EPIF module). DFM no longer monitors any modules besides the SCFM module.

DFM incorrectly reports CSS-11506 free memory
DFM was reporting insufficient memory alarms for the blades of some Content Switches because the cards are internal and have no memory on them.
DFM will not report these errors (by unmanaging the cards) if it finds that no memory is configured in the module. This applies to modules 7 and 8 on the CSS11506 and module 4 on the CSS11503.
CSCdw43966
Undiscovered MSFC does not correctly go back when re-added
If a switch with an MSFC was added to DFM, and the switch and MSFC have different community strings, DFM was not able to discover the MSFC. By default, DFM used the parent switch community string as the MSFC community string. Users had to rediscover the MSFC; users were also advised to add the parent device before adding the MSFC.
Switches with MSFCs are now discovered correctly.
CSCdt15420
DFM incorrectly classifies MSFC/RSFC/RSM IP added individually
When an MSFC/RSFC/RSM IP address was added to DFM, but the parent switch IP address had not yet been added, the MSFC/RSFC/RSM was discovered but added only in the IP class.
MSFCs, RSFCs, and RSMs are now classified correctly.
CSCdz71499
DFM reports Catalyst 6000 IDSM blade as undiscovered
When a Catalyst 6000 with an IDSM blade was added to DFM, DFM reported the blade as Undiscovered. This error occurred because IDSM blades do not support SNMP.
DFM no longer tries to discover the IDSM blade, which is shown as a card in the parent switch.

SmartsRestartable handler occasionally blocks and reattaches
During heavy processing, the calls to DFM and VHM were sometimes blocked. This error occurred when inconsistent message streams were sent to the server, the connection was reset by the peer, or an out-of-memory exception occurred.
The blocking problem no longer occurs.

DfmTrapNotifier forwards processed traps with empty smNotifSeverity
Processed DFM trap notifications sometimes contained empty smNotifInstance and smNotifCertainty strings.
smNotifInstance is now populated. smNotifCertainty is always 100% for active events and 0 for clear events; more granularity is not reported because it is not helpful to the user. (This information has been added to the online version of the User Guide for Device Fault Manager.)

Improve ISDN modeling
These problems have been fixed through the improved ISDN interface model provided with this patch/IDU. For more information, see:
When a port on a device that supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3, such as a Sup card running IOS, is assigned an IP address, it was displayed in the DFM admin console under both interface and port. It should only be displayed under interface.
This fix also applies to the following devices:
•Catalyst C2955C-12
•Catalyst C2955T-12
•Catalyst C4506-with-Sup
•Catalyst C4507-with-Sup
•Catalyst C4503-with-Sup

Admin and Monitoring Consoles do not display proper names
The Administration and Monitoring consoles were displaying incorrect names in their title bar. For example, the title bar of the Administration console used to read "http://<IPaddress>/dfm/SmAdminApp.jsp". The title bar has been fixed to read "Device Fault Manager - Administration Console".
This problem no longer occurs.

Cat IOS devices: interfaces shown in both port and interfaces
After adding a Catalyst device running IOS, Gigabit Ethernet GE1/1 and GE1/2 interfaces were displayed in both the Interface and Port groups.
This behavior occurred because when you assigned an IP address to a port on a Catalyst switch, and the Catalyst switch was running the IOS operating system, DFM created an object in both the Port and Interface classes. The object in the Interface class represented a logical entity that DFM used to maintain connectivity information.
This behavior has been fixed. Now, when a port has an IP address assigned to it, DFM will only display it in the interface group. It will not be displayed in the ports group.
CSCdx32239
Incorrect duplexity shown for router and switch interfaces and ports
DFM was not always reporting the correct duplexity for router and switch interfaces. One reason this happened was because of the assumptions DFM made when the port or interface duplexity was reported as UNSPECIFIED.
DFM translates sysConfigChangeTime as date and time
In sysConfigChange traps, DFM was incorrectly translating the sysConfigChangeTime, sometimes showing dates instead of a length of time since the last configuration change.
Because there is currently no function that can map the MIB attribute SysConfigChangeTime to a time format consisting of hours/minutes/seconds, DFM will no longer display this MIB attribute in the sysConfigChange trap.

DFM occasionally reports erroneous HighUtilization events on interfaces
When using DFM to view details of a HighUtilization event, the utilization shown was sometimes abnormally high (sometimes much higher than 100%).
This problem no longer occurs. Note the following scenarios that may affect how DFM reports utilization:
•Some Cisco devices may not have the required SNMP instrumentation to determine CurrentUtilization, in which case DFM will not display CurrentUtilization information.
•Some Cisco devices may not have the required SNMP instrumentation to determine the duplex mode of a port, in which case DFM will assume the duplex mode is half duplex when calculating CurrentUtilization. (When this occurs, the DFM Inventory Browser will display UNSPECIFIED.) If CurrentUtilization ever exceeds 100%, DFM will change this assumption and consider the mode of the port to be full duplex from that point on.

DFM periodically stops forwarding traps to HPOV/NNM after a few days
DFM occasionally stopped forwarding traps to HP OpenView or NetView after a few days of normal operation. This occurred when subscription profile information was lost due to a lag between when the Trap Notifier Adapter process started, and when the adapter actually connected to the server. This lag occurred when:
•The Trap Notifier Adapter was configured to start upon system reboot.
•The Trap Notifier Adapter was configured to start upon system reboot AND the DFM server had a large repository to restore.
The DFM File Notifier Adapter occasionally stopped writing to the alarm log file. This occurred when subscription profile information was lost due to a lag between when the File Notifier Adapter process started, and when the adapter actually connected to the server. This lag occurred when:
