Cisco MXE 3500 Cluster Help

Hello
i need help for my Cisco MXE cluster . I have already installed RM license and RN licesnses and all are installed successfully. I need to know what are the next steps?. I have 1 X RM and 4 X RM , how can i add my 4 X RN to my cluster to can see RM successfully?.
Thank you

Hello Mohamed,
The main step needed after licenses are properly applied is to add each RN as a host in the RM GUI Administration.
You can actually follow the full MXE configuration tasks as documented at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/mxe/3500/sw/3_x/3_3/admin/guide/tasks.html
This document is also valid for standalone deployments, but you will notice that any extra step or different step needed in clustered deployment will be added in a note starting like:
"Note In a clustered deployment..."
I hope this helps,
Marco

Need help to Configure Cisco ACE 4710 Cluster Deployment

Dear Experts,
I'm newbie for Cisco ACE 4710, and still I'm in learning stage. Meanwhile I got chance at my work place to deploy a Cisco ACE 4710 cluster which should load balance the traffic between two Application Servers based on HTTP and HTTPS traffic. So I was looking for good deployment guide in Cisco SBA knowledge base then finall found this guide.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/SBA/February2013/Cisco_SBA_DC_AdvancedServer-LoadBalancingDeploymentGuide-Feb2013.pdf
This guide totally fine with my required deployment model. I have same deployment environment as this guide contains with ACE cluster that connects to two Cisco 3750X (Stack) switches. But I have some confusion places in this guide
This guide follow the "One-armed mode" as a deployment method. But when I go through it further I have noticed that they have configured server VLAN as a 10.4.49.0/24 (all servers reside in it) and Client side VIP also in same VLAN which is 10.4.49.100/24 (even NAT pool also).
My confusion is, as I have learned about Cisco ACE 4710 one-armed mode deployment method, it should has two VLAN segments, one for Client side which client request come and hit the VIP and then second one for Server side. which means besically two VLANs. So please be kind enough to go through above document then tell me where is wrong, what shoud I need to do for the best. Please this is an urgent, so need your help quickly.
Thanks....!

Dear Kanwal,
I need quick help for you. Following are the Application LB requirements which I received from my clinet side.
Following detail required for configuring Oracle EBS Apps tier on HA:
LBR IP and Name required to configure EBS APPS Tier (i.e, ap1ebs & ap2ebs nodes)
Suggested IP and Name for LBR:
IP : 172.25.45.x [should be on same 172.25.45 subnet of ap1ebs & ap2ebs nodes]
ebiz.xxxx.lk [on port 80 for http protocol accessibility]
This LBR IP & name must be resolve and respond on DNS network
Server Farm detail for LBR Setup
Following detail will be use for configuring the LBR:
LBR IP and Name :
IP : 172.25.45.x [should be on same 172.25.45 subnet of ap1ebs & ap2ebs nodes]
ebiz.xxxx.lk [on port 80 for http protocol accessibility]
This LBR IP & name must be resolve and respond on DNS network
Server Farm Detail for LBR setup:
Server 1 (EBS App1 Node, ap1ebs):
IP : 172.25.45.19
Server Name: ap1ebs.xxxx.lk [ap1ebs hostname is an example, actual hostname will be use]
Protocol: http
Port: 8000
Server 2 (EBS App2 Node, ap2ebs):
IP : 172.25.45.20
Server Name: ap2ebs.xxxx.lk [ap2ebs hostname is an example, actual hostname will be use]
Protocol: http
Port: 8000
Since my client needs to access URL ebiz.xxxx.lk which should be resolved by IP 172.25.45.21 (virtual IP) via http (80) before they deploy the app on the two servers I just ran web service on both servers (Linux) and was trying to access http://172.25.45.21 it was working fine and gave me index.html page. Now after my client has deployed the application then when he tries to access the page http://172.25.45.21 he cannot see his main login page. But still my testing web servers are there on both servers when I type http://172.25.45.21 it will get index.html page, but not my client web login page. What can I do for this ?
Following are my latest config :

Cisco MXE Problem

Hello all
i need help for my MXE Cluster , i have 5 X MXE 3500 and i need to do cluster between the 5 X MXE3500. I faced problems ( 2 of MXEs have 2 X VM and other 3 X MXE have 3 X VM (Virtual machines) , i need to know the difference between then and i need to get any user name & password to access MXE Web ui and how can i select Resource Manager between 5.
Thanks

If you dont want the watermark to appear then you need to go to your job profile in MXE for the SnS conversion and modify the 'pre-processor' to not add watermarks. When you say 'my new folder not shown' the MXE job will also have a distribution or Delivery profile , which is where you would specify where the output would go. You really need to log into the mxeui (http://yourserver/mxeui) and take a look at the job profile that is being used to convert, pre process and deliver your files - the answers to your questions will be there i think

MXE 3500 v3.3 Host ID changed

Hi,
I am working with MXE 3500 v3.3. Earlier I have installed the server and after that I have received the license file base on the "HOST ID" from cisco. But I have to install the server again and now I have noticed that the "HOST ID" has been changed. So the earlier license file shows invalid for the same server. I can not request for the license file to cisco again as it has the same PAK. So please help me, if there is any work around to install the license on the same server.

I had the same issue after upgrading from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 and changing my main SSL cert.
The solution was to make sure the correct cert was listed in:
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
as well as:
/etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif
It looks as though the slapd.conf file gets updated properly when you select an SSL cert in the Server Admin app, but the cn=config.ldif does not. That is the one that was hanging my server up.
Hope this helps!

MXE 3500 Reporting

Hi,
We have an MXE3500 installed. There is a reporting requirement and the focus is on 3 prime areas -
(1) How much activity is flowing through the service
-Total number of Jobs per day
- total processing hours per day
(ii) What is the Peak traffic profile
- Peak volume of jobs at any point during the day
- Maximum wait time for a job during the day
(iii) Service Outages
-Number of service outages during the day
-Number of job failures during the day
I looked the Reporting eature available on the MXE webui (Job Custom Report & Task Custom Report). ITs not giving the desired results(Or maybe I dont understand it correctly). Can anyone suggest a way I can pull a report which will give me the above details? Many thanks

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for the update..
We are trying to integrate TCS and SNS with MXE.
We are refering the below document from SNS with MXE..
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/mxe/3500/sw/3_x/3_3/integration/note/integ_mxe33_sns.html
and the below document for TCS with MXE.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/mxe/3500/sw/3_x/3_4/cxs_solution/configuration/guide/cxs_config_guide.html
We have tried to upload one video in SNS and its went to MXE for convertion, MXE has converted this video successfully and sent this video to SNS. This is working without any issues.
But we are trying with TCS, there we are facing one issue.
TCS is recording video and sending it to MXE, we can see this particular video in Job status monitor in MXE but its not converting succesfully, the job status is showing "fail" as a status.
What will be the issue and how we should troubleshoot?

Nishant

MXE 3500 initial config

I was wondering if it is possible to do initial setup of the TCP\IP configuratino of the system from the CIMC interface. I am not seeing that capability. Most likely because the CIMC is hitting the hypervisor and not the windows server. It looks like alot of the configuration is on the Windows server. I just dont have console access right now and need to get this initially configured to update and ship.

License Cisco ESA in Cluster Configuration

Guys,
Do you have any idea about license Cisco ESA in Cluster Configuration
> If i have two appliance in cluster configuration and i have 1000 user, which option for license i must buy ?
1. Just one license for two appliance (which in cluster configuration) with 1000 user capacity
2. Two license with 500 user capacity for each appliance, appliance 1 with 500 user capacity license appliance 2 500 user capacity license
3. Other license.
BR

You only need to buy 1000 user licenses for which ever options or packages you buy. The only option that is not based on the number of users is if you want a Cisco Content Security Management Appliance or SMA for centralized reporting and quarantine.
Another good thing to note, is that if you have a virtual environment the hardware appliances are no longer required, and are not nearly as expensive as they were in the past. So depending on your requirements you may be off the ground pretty quick.
Also make sure to get all your features bundled. I would at least get AMP, Sophos A/V, DLP, and Encryption. This also means you can transfer and copy your license to as many appliances (Physical or Virtual) you need to support your environment.

Convert MXE 3500 3.3.2 RM to 3.3.2 RN

Hello,
all the docs talk about how to convert a RM to a RN via upgrade on the MXE 3500. how do i convert a RM to RN if i am already on the latest version of firmware? thanks!

USB3.0 uses a physically different cable, and interface board. To answer your question, No. Your best bet is to buy another complete external hard drive, or dismantle yours and put it in something like a Vantec Nexstar USB3.0 enclosure.

Cisco Unity Connection cluster issue

Hello,
I have a Cisco Untiy Connection cluster of two servers, one publisher and one subscriber. They are running software: 7.1.3ES43.33034-43. Yesterday at about 8:43 I lost connection to the subscriber server. I could still ping it but was unable to get to it via GUI nor SSH. I spoke to TAC yesterday and they told me to simply reboot the server. I was a little concerned about this because I don't want to cause some kind of split-brain effect. I work in a hospital and it is imperative that the voicemail system stay up. My only other option would be to do this at 4:00 am on a Sunday. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi David and all,
we have a unity connection 9.x pair. after an IP address change on the subscriber we are getting the error message:
‘Communication is not functioning correctly between the servers in the Cisco Unity Connection cluster’
Both servers respectively show its own status as a publisher but lost communication with the other server (if we check cluster management from either server).
show tech network hosts – displays correct info.
show perf query class "Number of Replicates Created and State of Replication"
==>query class :
- Perf class (Number of Replicates Created and State of Replication) has instances and values:
ReplicateCount -> Number of Replicates Created = 603
ReplicateCount -> Replicate_State = 2
On both servers the replication is showing as 2 – so its good.
Various reboots have been done, services are up and working and there are no firewalls between server’s .
Any advice appreciated.
TIA…Jeff

Can MXE 3500 stream MPEG2 directly to DMP4310?

I have a TCS intergrated with MXE 3500. I'm trying to use the IPstream Distribution profile to stream MPEG2 to DMP4310.
I utilize the following encoder in MXE 3500 ( H.264 and MPEG), use the following Distribution - IPStream (multicast IP address) and Output (MPG). Out Distriburion is working well, except the IPStream Distribution to DMP4310 is not working. I tested the multicast with my existing AS8100 to make sure it not the multicast setup.
Anybody has the same set up in your enviroment?
Many thanks.

This thread is Answered.
Create a job profile and use H264 Encoder -IP_Streaming, create a distribution profile under IP_Stream (multicast IP and port)
Test IP capture by installing VLC in MXE3500.MXE3500 cannot capture multicast TS streaming,so I decided to run a TCS Unicast Streaming.
Lastly, create a live event.
Run VLC, open network stream, enter udp://@MulticastIPAddress:port
There you go.....

Cisco Communication Manager Cluster Licence Issue

Dear forum participants,
In my network I have cucm 9.1.2 with the license for 180 phones. I plan to buy the server and CUCM 9 and to make a cluster. please, tell me, what else licenses I need to buy.

There is no longer a server node license, so nothing. It's important to understand that you actually have USER licenses, not device/phone licenses. The UCL/UWL license is consumed by an End User account based on the capabilities/products they are consuming. If you fail to properly associate a device to an end user it will consume a user license all on it's own. For many users who have more than one capability, this wastes licenses. For example, UWL Standard also entitles a customer to a CXN mailbox; however, if the phone isn't set with the correct Owner User ID that matches the alias of their mailbox, two licenses will be consumed instead of one.
