Viewing Database Status
You can verify that the WLSE database is running using the CLI command, show process. After you enter the command, verify whether the db2sync process is listed, which indicates the database is running.
Display of Device Names in WLSE
Many WLSE displays include a field for the device name. If reverse DNS lookup is enabled on the WLSE, and the name is configured on the DNS server, the DNS name is displayed in this field. If the DNS name is not available, the sysname SNMP variable is displayed instead. If neither the DNS name nor the sysname is available, the device's IP address is displayed. Therefore, the order of preference is:
1. DNS name
2. sysName
3. IP address
This affects displays in Reports, Faults, and Administration. In some displays, both a name and an IP address are displayed. Also, in some displays there are separate fields for the DNS name, sysName, and IP address.
To enable reverse DNS lookup, select Administration > Discover > Device Credentials, then select Use reverse DNS lookup.
Known Problems
Known problems (bugs) in WLSE are graded according to severity level. These release notes contain descriptions of:
•All severity level 1 or 2 bugs.
•Significant severity level 3 bugs.
You can search for problems using the Cisco Software Bug Toolkit. To access the Software Bug Toolkit:
Step 1 Log into Cisco.com.
Step 2 Select Service & Support > Technical Support Help—Cisco TAC > Tool Index.

Cannot print a report for a user-defined group that contains a system-defined or a user-defined group as a member.
|
If you create a user-defined group that contains a system-defined group or user-defined group as a member, you cannot print a Current report for the group.
To work around this problem view reports for the the sub-groups or devices within the user-defined group individually.

The following message "Device(s) not selected" is displayed when you try to save a configuration job for a large number of devices.
|
When you try to save a configuration job that contains a large number of individually selected devices, an error is displayed in the GUI, and an error appears in the log file.
To work around this problem:
•If all the devices are in one group, select the group name instead of the individual devices, then save the job.
•If the devices are in different groups, create a group containing all the devices you want, then save the job.

Two roles with the same name can be created, but only one role will be allowed tab and subtab access.
|
Two user roles with the same name, each given different tab and subtab access privileges, can be created. However, only one of the roles will be assigned all the access privileges; the other role will be empty.
To work around this problem, give each user role a unique name.

|
A single quote used in a user role name will cause the right pane to go blank.
|
The field for entering user role names accepts a single quote, which is an invalid character. This causes the right pane to go blank.
When this happens, the user role is not created. You must navigate to another page, navigate back, then begin the procedure again.
To work around this problem, do not use a single quote in a user role name.

No warning is given when you configure an incorrect location for a backup, or when the server you have designated for the backup location is down or unavailable.
|
When you perform a backup, no warning is issued and no data is saved if:
•You have configured the backup location incorrectly.
•You have configured the location correctly, but the server you have designated as the backup location is down or unavailable.
To work around this problem, before you perform a backup operation, verify that the backup location is configured correctly, and verify that the server with the backup location is up and/or available.

You cannot restore a backup image made to an FTP server running on a Windows platform
(NT, 2000, XP) using the GUI.
|
If you backed up an image to an FTP server on a Windows platform, you will not see it listed when you select Administration > Appliance > Backup and Restore > Restore Backup.
To work around this problem you must use the command line interface (CLI) to restore a backed up image. Restore the image as follows:
1. Get the name of the image to be restored from the FTP server. (You can retrieve the name by browsing the _ftproot_\BACKUP directory on the server, or by using an FTP client to connect to the server and entering the ls command.)
The name appears as hostname_datestamp_timestamp. This name is the name of the DIRECTORY residing under _ftproot_\BACKUP\ . For example, C:\Inetpub\ftproot\BACKUP\wlse_05312002_2056.
2. At the command line, enter restore backupname.

Configuration job fails using Netscape Navigator
|
The first job created using Netscape Navigator is successful, but subsequent jobs may not be.
To work around this problem disable cache on your browser as follows:
1. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Cache.
2. Select Every Time in the Document in cache compared to document on network.
|
None
|
Window resizing in Netscape Navigator causes page reloads.
|
When a window whose content is not cached is resized, Netscape Navigator sends a page request to the server.
This can cause any of the following problems:
•Work that is in progress could be interrupted, and the default page of the last module accessed from the navigation bar could be displayed.
•Any data that was being entered in a dialog box could be lost.
•Some of the pages may not show correct information, particularly those containing the date and time.
|
None
|
Some background colors and fonts displayed in the WLSE GUI are not always set by the WLSE, but by the browser.
|
When the WLSE is first installed, the colors and fonts in the GUI are based on settings from the WLSE. However, if the fonts and colors are changed in the browser, they may change on some screens in the WLSE.

Technical Assistance Center
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. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to the following URL to register:

http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen
If you have Internet access, it is recommended that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC Web Site.
Cisco TAC Escalation Center
The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses issues that are classified as priority level 1 or priority level 2; these classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer will automatically open a case.
