Config archive fails with SSH, and interactive commands.

Config archive fails with SSH, and with interactive commands if the device have prompts other than the following:

>, #, Password, :, (enable) , %, ], ?

Workaround:

Use only the above prompts.

None

Running Resource Manager Essentials on Multi-homed Machines.

By default Configuration Management assumes a non multi-homed machine.

Workaround:

If you want to run Essentials on a multi-homed machine, set the variable MULTI_HOME=true in the ($NMSROOT)\objects\cmf\data\Transport.ini file and restart ChangeAudit process.

None

TACACS with SecureID.

Essentials configuration archive does not support TACACS with SecureID. It supports static passwords, defined when you add or import devices into the Essentials inventory.

None

Configuration Import message.

Cwconfig cannot validate the syntactic correctness of configuration files uploaded to device via the import command. As a result, the import is reported as successful even if configuration file is invalid. Configuration Update does not succeed, but Cwconfig cannot detect failure.

None

Banner commands on devices.

Banner values are contained between quotation marks (") in config archive and between Ctrl-C (^C) characters in a device.

When using NetConfig or Config Editor, or Telneting to a device, do not add quotation marks or Ctrl-C characters to banner commands on devices. Banner commands containing these characters cause configuration applications to function incorrectly.

Do not use Banner commands that contain multiple line banners.

None

Updating modules in Catalyst 5000 Switches.

Cwconfig does not update or change configurations of individual modules in Catalyst 5000 switches even when import or write2run commands report a successful download. Cwconfig updates only supervisor engine module configuration.

None

Standard device prompts required for Configuration Archive Telnet mechanism.

Telnet transport mechanism cannot retrieve or update device configurations if any of the remote devices have nonstandard device prompts.

Accepted, standard device prompts on Cisco IOS devices have strings ending with greater than symbol (>) or the pound symbol (#) at Telnet login and enable mode. Accepted, standard device prompts on Catalyst devices end with keyword enable at Telnet enable mode.

It is recommended that all managed devices should have passwords.

None

Devices with multiple IP addresses.

TFTP transport mechanism might not work for devices with multiple IP addresses when device is managed by using hostname in the inventory database. The SNMP library used by TFTP queries for only one IP address for a given hostname while resolving hostname with corresponding domain name server.

For a device with more than one IP address, the hostname resolution might not return IP address of the interface running the SNMP agent. In such cases, TFTP fails and displays SNMP Time Out Error.

Workaround:

Import devices using IP address in inventory database.
None

Module configuration not retrieved even if the module has valid credentials for a CAT switch.
Configuration Management will not retrieve the configuration of the modules which have valid Telnet credentials, if a previous module had wrong credentials.

If in a CAT switch, the supervisor and ATM module have the same credentials and RSM has a different one, Configuration Management will retrieve the configurations of Supervisor. It will fail for RSM module and display the following message:
ERROR: Incorrect Telnet passwords
It will also fail for ATM module displaying the same error, even if it has valid credentials.
CSCdw48650

Startup and running configuration of the active CPU and startup configuration of the standby CPU will not be fetched automatically after a CPU switchover operation.

Syslog messages are not available after a CPU switchover operation, as a result of which the Configuration Management cannot update Config Archive automatically.

Workaround:

1. Perform a manual Update Inventory operation:
Resource Manager Essentials > Adminstration > Inventory > Update Inventory.

2. Perform an Update Archive operation: Resource Manager Essentials > Configuration Management > Update Archive.

This operation fetches the running configuration of the active CPU.

All configuration related reports might show an incorrect slot as active or standby.

Syslog messages are not available after a CPU switchover operation, as a result of which the Essentials database is not updated automatically. Hence, all configuration related reports might show an incorrect slot as active or standby.

Workaround:

Before launching Config Reports, perform a manual Update Inventory operation:
Resource Manager Essentials > Adminstration > Inventory > Update Inventory.

CSCds68827

Syslog messages archived in the Configuration archive

Telnet retrieves all the information that is displayed in the telnet session when you try to fetch configuration using telnet. If logging is enabled for sessions, Syslog messages displayed on the telnet session are also archived along with the configuration.

Workaround:

Turn off the display of Syslog messages on telnet session before fetching configurations using TELNET.

CSCdp62990

Change Audit Reports might time out.

If inventory contains 3000 devices or more, selecting Change Audit > All Changes or 24-Hour Reports > Change Audit Report might cause timeout.

CSCin03327

Slot info not updated for Cisco ONS Series (ONS 15540 ESP) devices after a CPU switchover

The Cisco ONS Series (ONS 15540 ESP) series devices do not send syslog switchover messages to the Essentials server, hence the slot information will not be updated in the database.

This also causes Configuration Management not to automatically archive configuration information when there is a switchover on the device.

Workaround:

1. Perform a manual Update Inventory operation: Resource Manager Essentials > Administration > Inventory > Update Inventory

2. Perform a Configuration Update manually.

CSCin09578

Configfetch improper in one of the fetching operations in Cisco ONS Series (ONS 15540 ESP) devices.

In Cisco ONS Series (ONS 15540 ESP) devices, if collection of configuration is begun during Config Retrieval schedule, the running config is not fetched.

Install the latest IDU, available at:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cw2000-rme

CSCdw18195

TELNET access required to retrieve startup configurations from Cisco ONS Series (ONS 15540 ESP) devices.

You can retrieve the startup and running configurations of active CPU from ONS Series (ONS 15540 ESP) devices using TFTP.

But to retrieve the standby configurations you require telnet credentials.

Workaround:

Provide telnet credentials.
CSCdp91314
Netshow error:
java.lang.outOfMemory
Netshow might flag a "java.lang.outOfMemory" error on a device. This problem occurs only with specific types of devices and only if the number of threads (set in properties file) and number of devices supplied to the command are both greater than one.

Workaround:

Run command line interface application on problem device alone, or reduce number of threads to one, and run serially.
CSCds20036

Launching Copy Job from Job Details window does not work.

Copying a Job from Job Details window might not work sometimes.

Workaround:

Launch copy job from
Configuration Management > Network Show Command > BatchReports > Job Browser.
CSCdt24115

Catalyst 5000 Devices: Transport FallBack from TFTP to Telnet Fails.
Catalyst 5000 device displays:
Device is busy with previous operation, Try 
later'
when config fetch operation is attempted.

The device going into busy state is a feature of the Catalyst 5000 switches and this is to prevent too many TFTP/Telnet connections within short intervals of time.

Workaround:

Change Transport Order to the Telnet as the first protocol.
CSCdu69242

Configuration archive causes problems when used on terminal servers with menus.

Workaround:

Use RCP for startup configurations and SNMP or TFTP for running configurations.
CSCdv77153

Essentials displays an out of sync error after reload for no scheduler allocate.
After a reload routers may add the following line:
no scheduler allocate
to the running config. This confuses the Essentials Startup or Running Out of Sync report.

Workaround:

1. Add the following line:
no scheduler allocate
to the CommandExcludesIos.ini file. You can find the file at the location:

/opt/CSCOpx/objects/cmf/data/

2. Restart CW2000 again:

Workaround:

Configure PIX Firewall device so Essentials can manage it: Enter IP address of Essentials server.

None

Inventory Chassis Summary Graph displays misleading information.

Inventory Chassis Summary Graph misleadingly displays CSS11080 for all the models.

When you select Server Configuration > About the server > Applications & Versions, the graph displays all the sysObjectIds of CSS series devices mapped to CSS11080.

Workaround:

None.

Read CSS11080 as CSS11000. For a detailed list of supported CSS11000 models, see "Additional Information Online".

CSCdw48650

For ONS Series (ONS 15540 ESP) devices, Inventory Reports might not reflect the latest device information.

Syslog messages are not available after a CPU switchover operation, as a result of which the Essentials database is not updated automatically.

Workaround:

Perform a manual Update Inventory operation: Resource Manager Essentials > Administration > Inventory > Update Inventory.

CSCdm01805 (1)

Adding devices to Essentials fails.

Adding devices to Essentials fails if case-insensitive community strings already exist in database. If you add a device to a database with community strings similar to devices already present, import fails.

Workaround:

1. Change the device to use a credential that has same case (upper or lower) as successfully managed device.

2. Change device to use a unique value for credential.

CSCdp61331 (1)

Comma included in password will cause device import to fail.

In comma separated value (CSV) format, the "," character is used as a delimiter. Therefore, fields in the CSV file should not contain the "," character.

If you use a "," character in password or other fields while adding a device, the CSV file generated after exporting will be invalid. An exported CSV file cannot be used for importing devices.

CSCin06583

DIServer displays error when trying to import more than 1500 device.

When Essentials tries to import data from a file which has more than 1500 devices in a single attempt on Windows in SSL mode the DIServer displays an error, and pdshow hangs.

Workaround:

Import only 1000 devices at a time. If we have more than 1000 devices to be managed, divide the contents of the file to contain not more than 1000 devices at a time.

CSCdk35153

Chassis modem table is not polled correctly.

Inventory reports show only configured modems. An interval exists between modem installation and modem configuration. During this interval, the Inventory application might detect only one modem. Additionally, log messages might display database integrity violations. These messages can be ignored.

Workaround:

Go to device and configure modem, then reacquire inventory data.

CSCdr02713

Chassis Summary and Software Version Graphs fail.

If you click Chassis Summary Graph or Software Version Graph and select 2000 or more devices, the operation will time out after 5 minutes.

Workaround:

Do not let the maximum number of devices exceed 50.

CSCdr81211

When a hitherto managed device is disconnected from the network, Scheduler does not report the status as `Not Responding'.

Once a device has been managed using Essentials, it will not display the status as Unmanaged or Not Responding.

Workaround:

Manually delete the device from the inventory.
CSCds73696

IcServer increasing in size.
IcServer shows steady increase in memory size of the process over time.

Workaround:

Restart IcServer daemon periodically.

Enter:
$NMSROOT/bin/pdterm IcServer 
$NMSROOT/bin/pdexec IcServer
where NMSROOT is the CW2000 install directory
CSCdw68406

Inventory does not handle Cisco ONS Series (ONS 15540 ESP) devices with distinct configurations.

To perform redundancy operations Cisco ONS Series (ONS 15540 ESP) devices requires that both processors have the same configurations.

If they are configured with different set of credentials and a forced switch-over is made and the read community string happens to be different, inventory will not manage the device and the device will go to the not-responding state.

Alias classification fails

Occasionally, devices are listed part of the managed devices, even if the same device (with different name) is already in the managed state.

Workaround:

1. Delete all the duplicate devices from the managed list of devices.

2. Check if the DIServer debug is set to OxFFFFFF in daemons.log

3. FF in daemons.log.

4. To achieve max debug and have aliasing turned on, set max debug to OxFFFEFFFF.

This will provide the same debug info with that obtained by setting it to OxFFFFFFFF with aliasing turned on.

Software Management Known Problems
Table 11 Software Management Known Problems
Bug ID

Summary

Explanation

CSCdw48650

For ONS Series (ONS 15540 ESP) devices, Software image recommendation might be performed based on obsolete information.

Syslog messages are not available after a CPU switchover operation, as a result of which the Essentials database is not updated automatically. Software image recommendation is based on data collected by Inventory.

Workaround:

Perform a manual Update Inventory operation: Resource Manager Essentials > Adminstration > Inventory > Update Inventory.

Software images might be downloaded to a slot for which it was not intended.

If a CPU switchover occurs after a software image distribution job is scheduled, syslog messages are not available for the CPU switchover operation. As a result of this, the Essentials database is not updated automatically. Hence, the software image might be downloaded to a slot for which it was not intended.

Workaround:

•Avoid scheduling image distribution jobs. Instead perform jobs immediately.

•If image distribution jobs are scheduled, ensure that the CPU does not switchover before the job is completed.

CSCds46280

Cisco IOS TFTP client cannot transfer files larger than 16MB.

You cannot use TFTP to transfer a file that is larger than 16 MB, to or from a Cisco router.

Solaris TFTP servers, do not support TFTP file sizes of more than 16 MB.

Solaris TFTP server and client programs have a 16MB file size limit.

Workaround:

The following patches are available from the Sun site

Patch for Solaris TFTP:

•Solaris 2.7—108301-02

•Solaris 2.8—108964-04

CSCin07665

Reboot verification fails.

If reload option is selected during image distribution to a Catalyst 6000 switch running CatOS, device comes up with an image that is different from the one that was distributed or the device goes down.

Due to a broken MIB implementation, the boot command cannot be inserted into the config file, because of which though the image distribution is successful, when the device is reloaded the device does not load the new image.

Workaround:

Upgrade CatOS to version 5.5(13.14) 7.2(0.89) 7.4(0.2).

CSCin06426

Reboot verification fails.

When a device is running c6sup22 image from the sup-bootflash, the device incorrectly reports that it is running the image from bootflash, this causes reboot verification phase of software management to fail.

Workaround:

CSCds33889

Image download to and from device with subdirectory fails.

Distribution to a device or an image import job from the device having images in the sub directory fails. While importing the images from the device's subdirectory, Software Management considers the images in the subdirectory and continues to schedule the job but the job displays an error message.

Workaround:

Copy the images that have to be imported from the device to the root directory. For distribution, images are distributed only to the root directory using Software Management.

CSCdr87269

Software Management hangs if inventory contains 5000 or more devices.

If Inventory contains 5000 or more devices, and all devices are selected in Software Management, Software Management might hang when device specific queries are issued, or may generate an error message.

Obtaining Technical Assistance

For all customers, partners, resellers, and distributors who hold valid Cisco service contracts, the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) provides 24-hour-a-day, award-winning technical support services, online and over the phone. Cisco.com features the Cisco TAC website as an online starting point for technical assistance. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, please contact your reseller.

Cisco TAC Website

The Cisco TAC website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The Cisco TAC website is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Cisco TAC website is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac

Accessing all the tools on the Cisco TAC website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, register at this URL:

Opening a TAC Case

Using the online TAC Case Open Tool is the fastest way to open P3 and P4 cases. (P3 and P4 cases are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Case Open Tool automatically recommends resources for an immediate solution. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your case will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The online TAC Case Open Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen

For P1 or P2 cases (P1 and P2 cases are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded) or if you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC by telephone. Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to P1 and P2 cases to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a case by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

TAC Case Priority Definitions

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.

Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is "down" or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
