New Features
This section summarizes the new features in this release:
•Distributed CVM—CVM has been enhanced to allow multiple CVM servers to be viewed and managed from a single client. A CVM master has been added; it acts as the control point for CVM servers, managing networks, user accounts, and user access privileges.
•Network partitioning—CVM now supports the ability to partition groups of devices into different networks and manage them separately from each other. The CVM Master Administrator can create multiple networks and assign user access privileges for each network. One network can be partitioned among multiple CVM servers, and one CVM server can manage multiple networks.
•Gatekeeper, Ds0, Ds1,DSP, and CPU statistics, and memory utilization—The CVM Poller data file includes this device information; third party reporting tools can report against the file.
•Directory gatekeeper support—CVM now supports a hierarchy of gatekeepers, in which gatekeepers at a hierarchy node are called directory gatekeepers. A directory gatekeeper is a gatekeeper for other gatekeepers, doing address resolution and zone management for its child gatekeepers or directory gatekeepers.
•Gatekeeper configuration enhancements—HSRP backup gatekeepers, E-164 address routing, and bandwidth management are among the new configuration options.
•Dial peer configuration enhancements—Many new dial peer configuration options are provided.
•Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) User Agent support—Allows SIP supported gateways to be configured and allows dial peers to be configured for them.
•Enhanced trap processing.
•New syslog monitoring for configuration changes.
•Option to use TFTP to update device configuration.
•Support for Cisco Access Servers: AS5800, AS5400, AS5350, and AS5850.
•CD One, 4th Edition support.

Table 1 CVM Release 2.1 Known Problems
Bug ID
(Severity)
|
Summary
|
Explanation
|
None
|
Sometimes an online help topic does not appear correctly.
|
Online help may not refresh properly in the browser when using standalone client.
To work around this problem, close the browser window and click the help button again.
|
None
|
Sometimes CVM may not detect a device configuration failure.
|
For some IOS commands, errors are not reported in a form that CVM recognizes. In these cases, CVM may not detect a failure when a configuration change is attempted on the device. When this happens, CVM reports that the configuration change is successful, but does not update or change the configuration.
Users should check the job details to verify that the device was properly updated.
|
None
|
In some instances, fields available in port configurations may not work properly for certain IOS releases or platforms.
|
Examples of fields that may cause problems include the following:
•Ring frequency—The values for this field are platform specific. Only 25 and 50 are valid values for a 3600 device, while only 20 and 30 are valid values for an MC3810 device.
•E&M port type—Values returned from MIB show that Type IV is a valid option. However, this option may not be available on all platforms.

Minimizing the window while it is in waiting state grays out the screen.
|
The CVM window becomes a blank, gray screen when the client is waiting for a server response and either of the following is done:
•The CVM window is minimized, then restored
•Another window is moved in front of the CVM window, then moved away
To work around this problem, wait until the client receives a server response. The CVM window then reappears correctly.

|
Sometimes a reinstallation after uninstalling CVM, on the same Windows NT or Windows 2000 system, fails.
|
Sometimes the CVM database engine does not stop when you uninstall CVM from a Windows NT or Windows 2000 system. This causes a reinstallation of CVM on the same system to fail.
To work around this problem, reboot the system and try installing CVM again.
|
CSCdv17048 (3)
|
Gateway cannot be deleted because of database deadlocks.
|
If a gateway is configured to send additional traps, such as dial traps, CVM receives traps continuously. When this happens, the gateway's database entry is locked, and the user cannot delete the gateway from CVM.
To work around this problem, configure the gateway so that it does not send traps to the system where CVM is installed. Wait for pending traps to be processed, and then try deleting the gateway again.
To configure the gateway, enter
> no snmp-server host <CVM server IP address>
|
CSCdv22589 (3)
|
Popup dialog boxes remain after inactivity timeout.
|
Sometimes when the client times out, popup dialog boxes remain open. If the user selects an option from the popup dialog boxes, all server requests fail.
To work around this problem, close all popup dialog boxes and log in again.
|
CSCdw77813 (3)
|
CVM server fails to start if CVM name has embedded space.
|
CVM does not give an error when a user includes a space in the CVM server name. The CVM server fails to start if the name includes a space.
To workaround this problem, do not include spaces in the CVM server name.
|
Table 2 describes the problems resolved since the last release of CVM.

Additional Information
|
CSCdt74771 (3)
|
When the CVM database contained a large number of Quality of Voice (QoV) traps, logging in would take longer.
|
When many QoV traps were stored in the database and not acknowledged by the user, CVM would take a long time to count the number of traps associated with each device when it displays the initial device tree at login.
|
CSCdu23528 (3)
|
CVM would not allow users to create dial plans on AS5300 devices.
|
This works on AS5300 devices with IOS versions 12.1.5 XM and above.
|
CSCdu47660 (3)
|
After creating a local zone, CVM would give a confirmation message that the operation was successful. However, when you tried to verify that the zone was created, you could not find it.
|
CVM 2.0.x could not manage multiple zone prefix commands for the same local zone with different priorities.
|

|
Question mark icon needs to be documented.
|
When a gateway is added to CVM, sometimes the customer sees a question mark icon instead of a gateway icon.

The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two types of support are available through the Cisco TAC: the Cisco TAC Web Site and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center.
Inquiries to Cisco TAC are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:
•Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.
•Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.
•Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.
•Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.
Which Cisco TAC resource you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.
Cisco TAC Web Site
The Cisco TAC Web Site allows you to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco services contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site.
