CWM Solutions 2.0.1 Release Notes

This document covers the following topics:

What's new in this release

The table below lists the new features and functionality introduced in Cisco Crosswork Workflow Manager Solutions 2.0.1.

Feature

Description
GISO Support for eXR

The Fleet Upgrade feature requires EMS/EMS-lite to support GISO upgrades for eXR devices as part of the 2.0.1 maintenance release.

This feature ensures that Cisco products provide seamless and holistic device management solutions by supporting upgrades for all currently supported eXR devices. The most pressing devices for this feature are:

  • ASR9k

  • 540X

  • 5501

The CWM solution will ensure that device upgrades using GISO images are supported and will validate integration with EMS-lite to enable GISO support for eXR device upgrades.

GISOs are highly popular, and earlier versions of Fleet Upgrade already supported this functionality. Restoring this feature has been identified as the highest priority for Fleet Upgrade in this release.

SVM GEO HA

The CWM SVM OVA supports geo-enablement to provide High Availability (HA) across geographical regions for the SVM support infrastructure. The CWM solution integrates with the CWM SVM OVA to support GEO HA.

SVM GEO Licensing

SVM GEO Licensing is a Cisco licensing model for Broadband Network Gateway environments that enables geographic redundancy of subscriber sessions, enhancing network resilience and high availability. It supports licensing based on subscriber session counts, with distinct product IDs for geo-redundant licenses, and integrates with Cisco Smart Licensing for simplified cloud-based license management and monitoring. This feature ensures subscriber sessions can failover across multiple geographic sites, supporting service continuity and scalability.

Known issues and workarounds

Defect Description Workaround/Comments
CSCwr10864

EMS: Image is present in UI but not in SWIM-Images folder in swim pod because of that FU is getting failed in distribute stage

This is actually an image overwrite enhancement, and it is planned to be fixed in 7.2.0 . The CNC UI team delivered a solution in 7.2, but after this bug arose, we believe it would be better to provide a solution on the SWIM backend side, as SWIM is reusable across different services beyond CNC, such as CWM. Therefore, it would be more effective to fix it from SWIM to avoid any confusion when others use SWIM. Workaround is to delete the image from UI and add it again.

Populating wrong product series while selecting devices for fleet upgrade tab

Fix available in October sprint.

Image uploaded by two different users with the same name at the same time results in an error. Impact is image did not upload at all .

In the current implementation, the large image file is divided into multiple chunks to facilitate a better upload experience. In the event of a chunk failure, only that specific chunk needs to be reuploaded instead of the entire file. Additionally, in a cluster environment where multiple imagerepo pods are running, some chunks of the same file may be processed by one pod while others are handled by a different pod. To manage these complexities, we are writing the chunks to a common location. Allowing the same file to be uploaded again while another upload is in progress presents a unique challenge, and addressing this would require significant changes that could impact the current implementation. Therefore, we are closing this issue.
