The Parent-Child Service Groups Feature will be certified in a future release pending results of the test cycle.

Open Caveats

This release contains the following open caveats:

Vault

CSCtb32902

Symptom:

Unable to ingest RTA content on Vault. Stale thread/connect, causing "Unable to create thread to handle client connection" error on Master Vault ContentStore.log.

Condition:

Seem to only effect RTA ingest.

Workaround:

Clear this issue by entering the ./stop_calypso_service -CSSlave command on the slave Vaults and the ./stop_calypso_service --CSMaster command on the master Vault in the /home/isa/IntegrationTest directory.

CSCsw41047

Symptom:

Content storage on the Vaults can be unbalanced, causing some Vaults to reach capacity while other Vaults have available storage. This could cause the CDS to not be able to acquire new content.

Condition:

The Remotesmoothing feature is off by default.

Workaround:

Enable the Remotesmoothing feature by running the /proc/calypso/tunables/allowvaultremotesmoothing command on a Vault or add the following command to the /arroyo/test/vault/run file:

"echo 1 > /proc/calypso/tunables/allowvaultremotesmoothing " 

CSCsy88266

Symptom:

The IP-Capture system was found in kernel debugger (KDB) mode.

Condition:

The back trace showed that the IP-Capture stopped during the "TrickGen::FixFrame" process.

Workaround:

Reboot the system.

Streaming

CSCsu65569

Symptom:

If the resolv.conf file is not set up manually on the CDSM CDE100, the Reload Service Group command does not complete and streaming to service groups could be affected.

Condition:

The Reload Service Group command needs to reach the nameserver through a DNS search.

Workaround:

Make sure the DNS search is set up in resolv.conf and resubmit the Reload Service Group command through the CDSM GUI.

CSCsu83085

Symptom:

Fast-forward and fast-rewind does not appear smooth to the human eye.

Condition:

This issue only occurs for AVC HD encoded content. It does not happen on all vendor STBs. Some STBs do not show any signs of poor fast-forward or fast-rewind for AVC HD content.

Workaround:

When Instantaneous Decoder Refresh (IDR) is set to "always," there is a big improvement. Try various STB vendors.

CSCsy84731

Symptom:

When a stream destination is configured for multiple Stream Groups with the same priority, streams for the destination are only directed to Streamers in a single Stream Group.

Condition:

CDS-TV 1.5.1.x and later software filter out duplicate stream destination map entries with the same priority. As a result only the last group entry is used. In deployments where a stream may be streamed equally well from any group, CDS-TV instead only streams from a single group. This problem is encountered any time a new QAM device is added and configured with all Stream Groups having the same priority.

Workaround:

As a workaround, a script may be deployed by Cisco Technical Support to bypass the stream destination maps. Each time a QAM device is added the stream destination maps become affected again, so the script runs every minute as a cron job to make sure the stream destination maps are not affected.

CDSM

CSCsz30891

Symptom:

Running a large report will cause the database to direct all resources to processing the report and give the impression that the CDSM is unresponsive.

Condition:

This symptom is likely to happen when reports are run with extremely large data sets.

Workaround:

Run reports with smaller date ranges.

Resolved Caveats

The following caveats have been resolved since Cisco TV CDS Release 1.5.1.5.0. Not all the resolved issues are mentioned here. The following list highlights the resolved caveats associated with customer deployment scenarios.

CDSM

CSCta67651

Symptom:

Unable to delete a QAM device in the CDSM GUI.

Vault

CSCtb45512

Symptom:

Login as root to the non-master vaults and look for the following things. #ps -ef | grep CalypsoContentStoreMaster If the process is running on the non-master vault then it should be killed manually.

CSCsv01674

Symptom:

If the system was under memory pressure, but dropped to no memory pressure, the fact that it was not under early memory pressure was preventing it from checking to see if it was under memory pressure and thus preventing the under memory pressure flag from getting reset. The end result is that you will see a warning in the protocol timing log saying that we are out of (memory) capacity 100 percent of the time. This also prevents the low priority disk ios from being serviced thus causing the reported bug - that mirroring was not functioning. Note this issue was specific to the NEW_SKIP_DISK_WRITE pound define. Tag: cserver-e013-2008-10-10-02 .

CSCtb17195

Symptom:

Vault crashes on ingest of RTA content. It appears the RTA content consisted of NULLs at the time, then transitioned to actual frames when the signal was reacquired by the satellite, or whatever problem was causing the loss of signal was cleared up. This occurred just before the KDB. KDB is on a NULL pointer dereference in TrickGen::FixFrame.

SNMP

CSCsx81833

Symptom:

A trap is not being generated and sent to trap recipient when a disk is taken offline. This is defined in the MIB as arDiskHealthDown trap.

Condition:

The trap should be sent when a drive is taken offline by CServer or if a drive is pulled from the array.

Workaround:

There is no workaround.

Upgrade Procedure

The following procedures are covered in this section:

Getting a Software File from Cisco.com

Preparation for Software Upgrade

Upgrade the Software on the CDSM

Upgrade the Software on Each Streamer and Vault


Caution Basic understanding of the Linux command line and the vi editor are required for the completion of the software upgrade. Do not attempt the software upgrade if you are unfamiliar with the Cisco CDS products and the Linux command line and vi editor.

A high-level view of the CDS software upgrade procedure is as follows:

1. Upgrade CDSM to 1.5.1.5.0

2. Upgrade the Streamers in the "Control" sites first (sites that have Stream Groups with only a Control server), followed by the "Setup/Control" sites (sites that have Stream Groups with a Setup/Control server).

Use the following procedural order to upgrade the Streamers:

Enable Server Offload on the server

Upgrade to 1.5.1.5.0

Reboot the server

Disable Server Offload on the server

Repeat for every Streamer on the site starting with the "Available" Streamers, followed by the "Backup" Streamer, and ending with the "Primary" Streamer. To identify the Streamers, use the following command:

[root@s65 root]# cat /proc/calypso/status/streamer/resiliencyinfo 
Streamer Resiliency Info:
	Service Address: 172.22.98.50
	Control Service: Primary

3. Upgrade all the Vaults using the same procedural order as the Streamers (offload, upgrade, reboot, and online). Start the Vault upgrade at the Control sites and the finish with the Setup/Control site.

Preparation for Software Upgrade


Note The preparation procedure should occur six to twelve hours before starting the software upgrade.



Caution It is mandatory that you check each server for available space in the root and /arroyo directories, as well as check each server for overall system health.

A minimum of 2GB of space must be available in the root (/) and /arroyo directories. To check the disk space availability, use the df -h command.

If needed, archive any log files greater than one month old, delete or copy over any core.* files from the /home/isa directory, and delete or copy over any database backups. Failure to perform these steps could result in a failure of the upgrade script. See the "Disk Space and System Health Checks" section.


Note Release 1.5.1.5.1 supports content ingested using earlier releases.


Important Notes for Upgrading to Release 1.5.1.5.1

The section covers special preparations that may be required before upgrading the CDS software.

CDS Preparation

The following needs to be considered when performing a software upgrade:

It is necessary for all backoffice content manipulation processes be stopped during a software upgrade. This includes, but is not limited to, StartOver and normal content propagation.

Site needs to turn off RTA six hours before upgrading the software. This is recommended, but you can force RTA off at anytime. Restart RTA once the upgrade is finished.

The Generate and Publish script normally starts at 3:00 or 4:00 AM. This script needs to be disabled before upgrading the software in case the upgrade takes longer than anticipated. If the software upgrade is completed before the start time of the Generate and Publish script, the script just needs to be re-enabled. If the software upgrade is completed after the start time of the Generate and Publish script, the script needs to be re-enabled and need to be run manually once it has been determined that the software upgrade was successful.

Vault Mirror maintenance mode needs to be enabled for a faster software upgrade. This will minimize any mirroring that would normally happen when a Vault is brought down to be upgraded.

CDSM Preparation

When upgrading to Release 1.5.1.5.1, it is necessary to upgrade all the servers before bringing them online, and to delete all the report files on the CDSM.

Best Practice for preparing the CDSM for upgrade to 1.5.1.5.1 includes archiving all CDSM database files and removing the reporting database files to decrease the CDSM database downtime. This task can happen as early as one day prior to the upgrade. We also need to move any backup folders in /arroyo/db to /arroyo prior to running any CDSM backup or upgrade scripts.

The Reporting Database files are as Follows:

/arroyo/db/asmaudit.db

/arroyo/db/cntrpt.db

/arroyo/db/cvrecordrpt.db

/arroyo/db/msa_unprocessed.db

/arroyo/db/rpt.db

/arroyo/db/sfail.db

/arroyo/db/tm.db

The /arroyo/db/tm.db file should be removed prior to restarting the CDSM database after the upgrade. Any of the reporting database files that are greater than 2GB should also be removed prior to restarting the CDSM database after upgrade.

Downtime starts from the time that the 1.5.1.5.0 Master Streamer is placed into TRICKLE_DOWN until the time the first 1.5.1.5.1 Vault and Streamer are configured from the upgraded CDSM and come up as Content Store Master, Stream Setup, and Control Primary. The CDSM is upgraded after all but the 1.5.1.5.0 Master Vault and Master Streamer have been updated with the new 1.5.1.5.1 software.

CDSM configuration and database files must be backed up manually.

CDSM must be upgraded to Release 1.5.1.5.1 before configuration files for 1.5.1.5.1 servers can be changed.

Preparation Procedure

To prepare each CDS server for the software upgrade, do the following:


Step 1 Log in to each server as root, and check for enough disk space

df -h /arroyo/

You need approximately 2GB of unused disk space. This allows for the database backups performed during the software upgrade. For more information on checking disk space and system health, see the "Disk Space and System Health Checks" section.

Step 2 Copy the ISO image file you downloaded in the "Getting a Software File from Cisco.com" procedure to the root directory on the server.

Step 3 Delete the rpt.db file, all the index files, and all the replay logs.

a. Change to the /home/isa/Berkeley folder.

# cd /home/isa/Berkeley

b. Stop the database.

# db_shutdown

c. Ensure the database has stopped.

# netstat -an | grep avsdb

d. Remove the rpt.db file, the index files, and the replay logs.

# rm -f *.idx rpt.db *.*.*.*

Step 4 Collect the configuration information on the existing system.

Use the CDSM to find the following configuration settings on each server and write them down:

Management IP address

Gateway IP address

Network mask

Stream ID

Stream Group ID

Name Service IP address

Ingest IP address

Service Groups

Write down any other configuration settings as necessary. If the CDSM is not available, collect the configuration information from the configuration files on each server. For more information on the configuration files, see the "Sample Configuration Files for Vaults and Streamers" section.


Upgrade the Software on the CDSM


Note The CDSM upgrade script does the following:

Stops the database and the apache server before upgrading the software.

Prompts you to make a backup of the CDSM.

Prompts you to delete the replay log files and the index files.

If you decide to make a backup, one tar archive file is created.


To upgrade the software on the CDSM, do the following:


Step 1 Log in to the CDSM Linux operating system as root.

Step 2 Mount the ISO image on /mnt/cdrom and run the install script.

# mount <iso_image> /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 
# cd /mnt/cdrom

Step 3 Upgrade the CDS software on the CDSM by entering the following command.

# ./install-asm.sh controller upgrade
Install ASM Controller System CTRL-C NOW if this is not an ASM Box!

Installation is completed.

Step 4 Reboot the CDSM.

# reboot

Step 5 Verify that the database is running on the CDSM.

ps -ef  |  grep  avsdb


Upgrade the Software on Each Streamer and Vault

Perform this procedure for each Vault and Streamer in the CDS.


Note In a multi-site CDS, upgrade the Streamers in the "Control" sites first (sites that have Stream Groups with only a Control server), followed by the "Setup/Control" sites (sites that have Stream Groups with a Setup/Control server).

In a multi-site CDS, upgrade all the Vaults using the same procedural order as the Streamers (offload, upgrade, reboot, and online). Start the Vault upgrade at the Control sites, then finish with the Setup/Control site.



Note The upgrade script does the following:

Stops the database before upgrading the software.

Prompts you to make a backup.

Prompts you to delete the replay log files and the index files.

If you decide to make a backup, a backup directory is created.


To upgrade the software on a Vault or Streamer, do the following:


Step 1 Using the CDSM GUI, offload the server.

a. Click Maintain > Servers > Server Offload. The Server Offload page is displayed.

b. From the Server IP drop-down list, choose a server's IP address or nickname and click Display. The server type and ID, as well as the array ID, are displayed.

c. Select Enable and click Submit.

Step 2 Check the CDSM to verify that the stream count on the offline server is zero.

a. Using the CDSM, click Monitor > Server Level > NIC Monitor.

b. From the Server IP drop-down list, choose a server and click Display.

c. Click Graph Ports to view any stream traffic.

Step 3 Log in to the Vault or Streamer Linux operating system as root.

Step 4 Mount the ISO image on /mnt/cdrom.

# mount <iso_image> /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 
# cd /mnt/cdrom

Step 5 Upgrade the CDS software on the Streamers and Vaults by entering the following commands.

To Upgrade the CDS Software on a Streamer:

Disk Space and System Health Checks

These checks should be performed prior to, and immediately after, any upgrade procedure to ensure system integrity and functionality.

Disk Space Checks


Step 1 Log in to the CDSM as root.

Step 2 Tail the log file using the following command:

tail -f /arroyo/tmp/monitor.log 

Step 3 Check the "Other Info:" section for LSP disk space availability.

Step 4 If there is less than 88% left on any server, log in to that server and enter the following commands:

cd /arroyo/archive/arroyo_log
rm -f *.log.<months older than 2 months in the past>*

Two examples follow:

rm -f *.log.01*
rm -f *.log.02*

Step 5 Check the "Other Info:" section for ISP disk space availability.

Step 6 If there is less than 88% left, log in to that server and enter the following command:

find /home/isa/ -name core.*

Upload or remove any core files found.


System Health Checks (CServer)


Step 1 Log in to the CDSM as root.

Step 2 Tail the log file using the following command:

tail -f /arroyo/tmp/monitor.log 

Step 3 Look at the role column and verify that one master Streamer and one master Vault are listed.

Step 4 Verify the correct number of disks available on each server.

Step 5 Verify all Streamers are serving streams.

Step 6 Verify GOID counts on all Vaults.


System Health Checks (ISA)


Step 1 Log in to each server as user isa.

Step 2 Change to the IntegrationTest directory .

cdint

Step 3 Verify all ISA services are running by entering the following command:

./show_calpyso_services

Step 4 Verify the Name Service and ISA Service checks are working by entering the following command:

tail -100f ns_log


System Health Checks (database)


Step 1 Log in to each server as user isa.

Step 2 Change to the Berkeley directory.

On Streamers and Vaults:

cddb

On the CDSM:

cd Berkeley


Step 3 Extract the contents of the Berkeley database on each server.

dumpDB

Step 4 Verify that all keys files are synchronized with each other.

For Vault Servers and CDSM:

ctnobj.lst

For Stream Servers and CDSM

stmsvc.lst
svcgrp.lst
tsin.lst
tsout.lst

Step 5 Verify that all main.db files display the current date and are close in filesize.

Step 6 Check the /home/isa/Berkeley/LOG/logfile for any recent database errors.

Step 7 Check the /arroyo/log/avsdb.log.<today's date> for any recent database errors.
