Cisco NCS - FTP Error

Hi!
I got a couple of questions regarding Cisco NCS (Network Control System) Version 1.1.0.58.
1. I've just installed Cisco NCS appliance(Red Hat) in vmware vsphere and l need to backup and transfer a Backup Repository to a Windows FTP Server. I can reach the FTP Share with Filezilla and other FTP clients on my local computer, but when I create a manual backup it fails on file transfer. I can ping the FTP Server from the Cisco ncs ssh session. In "Administration --> Background Tasks --> NCS Server Backup" I've succesfully entered the FTP Servers credentials without any errors. Any suggestions? See the output from debug option(attached file):
2. Is it possible to mount either an Samba/CIFS/- or NFSshare and directly backup repository on them? I feel a bit "tied behind my back" when there's no possibility to reach Red Hat OS shell, without a Root Patch (wich seems impossible to get hands of )

Hi,
So you made a repository for backup purpose on NCS?
When you do a sh repository "name of the repository" you must see a directory listing of the FTP directory. If not than there is something wrong with the repository

Hi,
In case anyone encountered the same problem, here is how you solve it:
1- Login into shell by typing "shell command" from NCS enable mode.
2- Copy the installation zip file to local disk directory:
        cp /source-path/name/installation-file-name.zip /localdisk
3- Browse to localdisk directory which exists in the root directory and unzip the zip installation file:
          [LMS/root-ade localdisk]# unzip installation-file-name.zip
4- Exit shell by typing "Exit"
5- At this step, if you type the "dir" command, the installation file "NCS-upgrade-bundle-1.1.1.24.tar.gz" should appear.
6- In "conf t" mode, create a new repository
   repository myrepo
          url disk:/
7- application upgrade NCS-upgrade-bundle-1.1.1.24.tar.gz myrepo
Please rate if you find helpful.
Thanks.

Failed to send E-Mail Alerts using Cisco NCS

Hi,
I was trying to configure the Email Alert Notication on Cisco NCS but it is not working.
I SMTP server is configured and I add the server IP to NCS (Administration > Setting > Mail Server Configuration). When I click the Test button I always end up with the error message saying "Failed to send mail to primary SMTP server. Please make sure that you save mail configuration by hitting 'Save' button.". I tried saving it but I still end up with the same error. Did anybody encountered this on NCS?
Regards,
Leonard

I have a slightly different issue. We have an existing NCS box with the email account configured and it emails to one person. When I add my name to the list of recipients, it only emails the first person in the list. It seems to ignore the second person.
Oddly enough, when I click on "test", it sends an email to the first person in the list, and that person can see in the email that I was copied on the email. But my email never appears. I even added my Yahoo! email account, and don't get it there either.
Don't see anything in spam folders either. Anyone know if there's a bug with adding more than one email address in NCS?

Cisco NCS configuration backup and restore of WLC issues found

Hi,
I recently tested the process for a customer of defaulting a Cisco WLC to factory configuration and then restoring the configuration from Cisco NCS. It was not seamless to say the least and I wonder if I have just gone about it the wrong way.
Have have set the NCS platform to configuration sync with the 5508 controllers at 04:00 every day and prior to the controller defaulting I ensured that NCS also reported that the config was in sync.
I have also set NCS to complete a tftp backup of the controller every night 23:00 - interestingly though I have no idea where this is stored on the NCS platform ( a VM appliance ) or what it's filename is.
Anyway my experiences where as follows:-
1. defaulted WLC and via serial CLI ended up at the configuration wizard.
2. Set the correct LAG, management IP, hostname that NCS knew this controller by.
3. To test things just created a dummy WLAN ( SSID ) as I assumed this would be overwritten ( big mistake ! ).
At this point I connected the controller to the network and tried to restore the configuration from the config sync version.
First problem - you have to remember to set up the SNMP community string you were using as it is needed by the configuration sync process. After adding this to the controller I could push the configuration to the controller.
Second problem - failed to add the first WLAN from the backup as I have added the temporary dummy WLAN via the wizard and NCS reported a conflict. So had to delete WLAN ID 1 from the WLC GUI directly and then the config push no longer reported this error.
Third problem - for some reason did not add the TACACS server details - reported the error that it could not added them. I manually added these via a template via NCS and all was well.
Fourth problem - all but the first WLAN was in the disabled state - had to re-enable all of the WLANs
Fifth problem - any default items I had disabled or removed have not been saved - therefore I have removed the public and private SNMP communities - but these were still on the WLC after the restore. I have disabled unused ports not in the LAG as they show an error in NCS - these where not disabled after the restore.
So all in all not a very satisfactory restore process from NCS to an defaulted WLC ( ment to simulate to the customer what would be needed if they had to replace a controller due to hardware failure ).
So - anybody like to comment on what I did wrong - is there a different / better way of achieving this ??
Regards
Robert

Hello Robert,
all the tasks you did seem to be fine for me.
I was also wondering the process os restoring from NCS controller configuration backups ...
If anyone else could give another method with less drawbacks, that would be appreciated, but i doubt about it.
regards,
Guillaume.

How can get Dreamweaver to stop error message: an ftp error has occurred- cannot connect to host?

Dreamweaver is locking me out when I try to connect to the host via ftp. I get the error message: "An ftp error has occurred - cannot make connection to host". This error message started yesterday when I used the wrong host ftp address too many times. I have since received the correct ftp address from my website host, but the system won't even let me log in...it just gives me that error message when I click the connection button on the panel. My website host recommends that I uninstall Dreamweaver and re-install it again. My concern is, if I un-install the Dreamweaver app, which I downloaded from the Cloud, will the Cloud know I've un-installed Dreamweaver and allow me to download it again? Please help.

See my response in your most recent thread. Please don't double post like that - it can confuse things considerably when replies come in to both threads.

An FTP Error occured - cannot make connection to host. No response from the server

"An FTP Error occured - cannot make connection to host. No response from the server".
As of today this is all i get when trying to connect to every single ftp account i have. It's not the server cause it's every one and there is several different. Tried passive and non-passive same result. I've connected fine with other FTP clients. So this must be another dreamweaver bug. Anyone know what to do?

Very hard to diagnose these problems, particularly as you can connect using a 3rd party program.
See if the 'timeout' issue could be at play here:

FTP error: Receiver Communication Channel

Hello Experts,
I am getting the following FTP error in my Receiver Communication Channel.
Error occurred while connecting to FTP server: Peer certificate rejected by ChainVerifier
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Anup

Hi Anup,
Problem is with FTPS and not FTP.The SSL handshake needs to confirm that the FTPS client is using the FTPS server's DNS name to access the FTP service since only the DNS name of the FTPS server is stored in the certificate signed by the trusted CA (e.g. VeriSign). it's the way the Certification Authorities works.
If you are using any IP address then try with your host name.

I am getting an FTP error message when publishing, it goes okay until it reaches home page. The home page does not appear correctly. Any help greatly appreciated

I have a website using iweb and am having problems publishing. When I try to publish it appears to be going through then stops at home page and I get an FTP error message. I talked to my website host and they checked it from their end on two brosers and it is fine. There suggestion was to contact this support group. They thought it had something to do with iweb code writing.

What version of iWeb are you using? What are you using to upload the site files to your FTP server?
I talked to my website host and they checked it from their end on two brosers and it is fine
What did they check? Have you tried viewing your site that's online to see if the changes went thru? Before you do so clear your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and then load the site.

Cisco NCS admin password recovery.

Hi All
In Cisco NCS shell I have incorrectly entered the following command in order to chang ethe admin password and saved it
username admin password hash <password> role admin
and hence lost the access to shell (ssh). Is there a way to retrieve or reset the admin password. Tried to log in as single user (as in any ohter Red Hat Distribution) but didn't work. In the worst case scenario I have rebuild the server (VM) from the .ova imange, however the licenses won't work.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Hello,
The only way to recover the admin password for NCS would be to use the recovery image (iso). The recovery image is not available for download from CCO. Please open a TAC case & they can special publish the image for you.
For the CLI admin password, the recovery method is the same as the physical appliance. Attach the recovery ISO, and reboot the machine. You may have to force the virtual machine to boot from the cd drive. Once it does, you will get the menu that contains the password recovery option.
Hope this helps.
