Cisco Operations Manager

I have an issue to setup synthetic tests for a customer. Because of a bug in cube software we occasionally see that incoming calls are not possible before we choose another active cube gateway or restart the inactive cube gateway.
The issue is that we do not get an alarm when this problem occurs and we will not be able to detect the outage which affects all phones in this specific company.
My goal is to setup a synthetic end-to-end test from Cisco Operations Manager to perform random test calls to the customers call center numbers or main numbers. E.g. I would like to setup a test where incoming calls can be tested for success or not.
I am not sure if that is possible at all or if there would be some other ways to work around this.
Cisco Operations Manager 8.6

You need to make sure CUOM is like a station on the clients lan.
How you achive this is up to you. You can create a VPN towards the client networks.
I think its best to avoid NAT.
Cheers,

  • Basic Network Monitoring for Cisco Operation Manager 2012

    Hello,
    Please bear with me as i'm new the Operations Manager 2012 world. I've just installed operations manager 2012 in our environment and i've setup a network management point. I've discovered my networking gear which is primarily cisco equipment. The devices
    are appearing as CERTIFIED. It appears that they are HEALTHY however in most cases i'm getting some arbitrary monitors. I have a 6509 switch where memory and processor appear to be being monitored out of the box. I'm receiving alerts and everything.
    My question is how do I turn on monitoring for other discovered components. I seem to understand I can make SNMP monitors under the authoring pane if i know the OID. That sounds like it'd be tedious work for such a simple and basic monitor. However I was
    under the impression I would be able to monitor a lot of these components with a simple click of a button. Is this not the case? I'm primarily interested in monitoring the state and performance of particular interfaces as well as the state of the power supplies
    in our switches. Is there a guide that explains the basic principles of this. What are my options?
    Thanks!
    -Brandon

    Hi,
    You will need to edit the discovery and broaden the range. You may use recursive discovery.
    Recursive discovery will try to discover any other network devices it knows about through its Address Routing Protocol (ARP) table, its IP address table, or the topology Management Information Block (MIB) to grow the network map and present all applicable
    devices to you for monitoring.
    You can also filter out devices that you don't want to be discovered by using properties such as the device type, name, and object identifier (OID). This is a handy option if you wanted to quickly discover all the network devices in your network except,
    a small number or some with a specific criteria.
    In really large networks with a lot of network devices, keep in mind that there is a default limit of 1500 network devices that can be discovered recursively. You can of course tweak this limit to suit your environment if you wish, but for most people, this
    won't be needed.
    More details, please go through the article below:

  • Cisco Operation Manager and Service Monitor on Separate Machine?

    Hi,
       Can we install Cisco Unified Operation Manager and Server monitor on separate machines?
      What will be the procedure to do so?

    Yes You can install Service Monitor in a stand alone server. For Service Monitor to coreside on a system with other applications in the Cisco Prime Unified Communications Management Suite, see the coresidence requirements in
    Installation Guide for Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 9.0.
    Also you can check Coresidence Guidelines and Coexistence Guidelines.
    Here you can see the server requirements for a coexistent installation of Service Monitor:

  • Cisco video surveillance operations manager error

    Hi!
    Does anyone know What does mean "HttpHandler. 11391: critical coredump" error in cisco video surveillance operations manager?

    Okay, well... right away; there is a very serious issue concerning the fact that mysql no longer appears installed on the server:
    01-vssoftware.txt
    Video Surveillance Operations Manager
    MYSQL:              !! MySQL is not installed and is required
    Which would indicate the root of your issues.  It appears something may have actually removed the package.
    I also noticed from the roothistory that you've installed some other third party tools and executed what I assume are some scripts that appear to remove things?  Perhaps check there?
    My recommendation is to pull a valid backup and perform a recovery with the Cisco Recovery DVD.  If this is not an option, you'll likely need to open a TAC case to determine how mysql has been broken, and how to correct it.
    Best of luck,
    Scott.

    Hi David,
    Thanks for your reply. I have gone through the links which you have mentioned. As per the Overview of Operations Manager 2007 R2 section in What's New & Improved in Operations Manager 2007 R2 document it is clearly mentioned the below points:
    Delivers monitoring across Windows, Linux and Unix servers–all through a single console.
    Extend end to end monitoring of distributed applications to any workload running on Windows, Unix and Linux platforms.
    The Cisco Servers are also Windows and Linux Based.

  • Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 9.0, "Service Level View" problem.

    Hello to all.
    Hope this mail finds all of you well.
    I have a problem with a CUOM Prime 9.0.
    The customer's infrastracture is a cluster CUCM (VM), 9.1.2.
    The CUCM cluster is up and running and all the cisco devices can be discovered.
    The customer wants to use a Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 9.0 in order to monitor all the Cisco devices.
    Also, in the CUOM server have been installed the browser "I.E 8.0" and the browser "Firefox Mozila" (Firefox Setup 10.0.5esr).
    The problem that I faced is that the page "Service Level View" can not be displayed.
    When I try to use the "Internet Explorer" the loading bar is being displayed, but can not be completed.
    When I try to use the "Firefox Mozila" a message is being displayed and prompt me to install the last Flash Player,
    which is already installed.
    Can anybody help me on that  problem?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards,
    Isidoros

    Finally, the solution of the problem was:
    1-stop the daemon manager “net stop crmdmgtd” 
    2- Delete the xml files available under(please take backup from them) :
    CSCOpx\objects\sir\work
    CSCOpx\objects\topo\work
    3-Start the daemon manager  net start crmdmgtd  (wait for 20 minutes until all process are up )

  • Event in Cisco Unified Operations Manager makes no sense

    Hi
    The ennvironement is as follows:
    3 CCM 4.x Cluster and lot of h323 Gateways. All is controlled by a gatekeeper.
    For monitoring purposes I'm running a Cisco Unified Operations Manager 2.0.2. From a h323 gateway I recieve an event, that there happend packet loss and that the MOS was below the critical MOS threshold. As destination I see another h323 gateway in the same cluster. What does this mean? For me there is never voice between these 2 gateways. For me this event makes no sense. On the gateways everything looks fine, there are no drops or errors neither on the interface nor on the service-policy.
    Any idea why it's generating this event?
    Regards
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    I think it would be best if you could get a packet capture (at the point of the 1040 sensor) during the times of one of these low MOS scores and then open a TAC case. The TAC engineer will need to contact the 1040 sensor developers to understand how exactly they are calculating packet loss and the packet capture will help greatly in finding the root cause. There are two components to packet loss for a 1040 sensor.
    1) Actual network packet loss (i.e. based on missing sequence numbers).
    2) Packets lost in the jitter buffer emulation (packet discards). This will
    count as a packet loss for any packet that arrives 20ms past its expected
    arrival time OR any "out of order" packet. Since the packets for a G711 are
    sent at a 20ms rate, a packet which is delayed 20ms may arrive out of order and
    be counted as lost.

  • Cisco Unified Operations Manager v Cisco Service Monitor

    I am unfamiliar with both od these products. Both seem to overlap in that they seem to aim for end to end voice quality management, relying on the 1040 probe.
    Am I off base here? Are they similar products, one or both maybe OEM'd???
    Are they widely deployed?
    Any thoughts welcome.
    Regards

    Hi Gordon,
    They are very much complimentary. In fact, installing OM used to install SM by default on same box.
    OM doesn't collect info from the 1040 probes. SM does this, and then alerts to OM if thresholds are breached.
    OM will then display the alert.
    Operations Manager is very much about actively monitoring the health of the UC environment. Here's a couple of practical examples of what it does:
    - Maps out a logical view of the environment
    - Performs scheduled tests - checks CM reg, dial tone, TFTP
    - Simulates calls with both synthetic phones and even real phones
    - Interactive tests - check phone features are working etc
    - Performance management - view utilisation of GW's CM's etc.
    - IP SLA - simulated calls, jitter testing across the network using routers / switches and IP SLA features
    - Alert monitoring - dashboard view
    Service Monitor is very focussed on measuring the actual user experience of calls.
    - It can use CDR / CMR records (with no 1040 HW sensors deployed) to record, and monitor the quality of individual calls
    - It can also use the 1040 HW sensors to collect more granular call quality details.. (it sends the details to SM via syslog constantly)
    - Report and alert on call quality based on thresholds (Alerts are sent to OM and appear in your alerts window)
    The only real overlap I would say is that OM does some quality tests with IP SLA, but it is based on synthetic calls rather than working with data about real calls.
    There is also another module, Unified Service Statistics Monitor, I'd recommend looking at this too, it provides the historical component, and also a variety of different reporting - including service levels and executive style dashboards.
    I've done a few deployments. Standard network management principles apply, and I think this is where a lot of them fall down. No product can manage your network for you automatically, the biggest part is people and process. Once you have this in place you can definitely use products like OM, SM to automate and simplify.
    The larger and more complex your network, the more valuable and useful these products can become.
    My recommendation is to get the eval copy, and try them out. You do need to think carefully about what you want to achieve though, without this step, an install of these products probably won't impress. The art is all about the setup.
    Cheers,
    Tim

  • Error in communicating with DCR server (Operations Manager 8.5)

    Hi,
    I just installed Operations Manager 8.5 on a new server. And, although I'm able to login to the OM, I'm unable to add any devices to the DCR. When attempting to add the device the following error is returned:
    "Error in communicating with DCR Server
    DCR Server may be down. Please start DCR server and then refresh the page. "
    The same error is returned when an attempt is made toaccess the screen to change the mode (standalone/master/slave.) However, according to pdshow output DCRServer is up and running:
    Process= DCRServer
    State  = Running normally
    Pid    = 9220
    RC     = 0
    Signo  = 0
    Start  = 7/29/2011 2:46:33 PM
    Stop   = Not applicable
    Core   = Not applicable
    Info   = DCRServer is up and running
    I've browsed the site and tried all suggestions for LMS since I didn't see any for OM. No success.
    Any/all suggestions are much appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Bart

    It appears the answer is rather simple. According to a trusted source who works for a Cisco training partner, one must wait before even attempting a login into OM.
    Apparently,  it takes about 25 to 30 minutes for all the services to start. Any attempt to login to the OM may corrupt the  database. This is based on CiscoWorks.  When command "net stop crmdmgtd" is issued it takes about 5 minutes to stop the service and a confirmaiton that the service was stopped is displayed. However, when starting the service with "net start crmdmgtd"  there is no confirmation that it started successfully. One may look into ":\ program Files\CSCOpx\objects\dmgt\ready" directory for a _lock file." As long as the lock file is present one shouldn't  use the browser to login. However, I was advised the best approach is to restart the service and give it 30 minutes.
    It worked for me
    Kind regards,
    Bart.

  • Cisco Call Manager Administration Page Drop down menu not working

    I'm running the mobile app browser on my Xoom tablet and when I log into Cisco Call Manager Administration page I get the menu's but it will not pull down the options. The same issue happens in google chrome. I use your browser on my desktop and have no issues logging into Cisco Call Manager Administration page and getting the drop down menu's to appear but the mobile version of your browser is not working. Is there a work around? I tried changing the UAString to Desktop, iPad etc and the issue is still there.

    Thanks but I've tried all that. It happens in Chrome also. I've tried Opera and it works on that. I've read other forums and it looks like a Java script issue that Chrome and now Firefox Mobile cannot seem to resolve. My preference is Firefox and I'm sure as more tablets get out then this will be solved at some point. I just don't know how it is prioritized. I do know that in order for Androids to be viable in the business sector they need to address issues like these with a higher priority.

  • Operations Manager not updating IP phone location changes

    We have Cisco Unified Operations Manager and we noticed that for some time  IP Phone location changes were not registered and updated.
    There are couple of phones in All IP Phones/Lines list which are listed as still connected to old switches, while actually moved to completely new switch on different location .
    Also - in   Devices>Device Management>Inventory Collection>IP Phone       IP Phone Collection Status is always :  "Discovery in progress..."   with  Last Collection Start Time   and  Last Collection End Time  from couple of months ago...
    We have discovered two old bugs CSCsw26833 and CSCsv33965, but Restart PIFServer, pdterm PIFServer followed by pdexec SRSTServer and checking of netstat connection  did not change anything...
    What could be a problem, how can we start IP Phone collection?

    Hey George, thanks for the reply!
    Yes, you are absolutely correct. If I set Device Mobility Mode from Default to Off, the phone re-registers and the correct time for that time zone is displayed...!
    Awesome, thanks again George. Much appreciated!
    Thanks Again,
    Matt

  • Installing Cisco Security Manager

    I would like to uninstall and reinstall my Cisco Security Manager 3.0 since 3.1 has been taken off the market for the time being.
    Is there a step by step process that I would have to take to install this with standard install, Service packs and patches?
    In a nutshell, I would like to do a complete reinstall and be fully operational when completed.
    Thanks

    Cisco Security Manager (Security Manager) enables you to configure, deploy, and manage services and policies on Cisco security devices. With Security Manager, you can provision VPN and firewall services across multiple, different device types, including IOS routers, firewall devices (PIX and ASA), Catalyst 6500/7600 devices, and Catalyst security services modules (VPN, FWSM, and so on). On some device types, you can also provision platform-specific settings such as QoS, SNMP, and routing, even though these settings are not necessarily security settings.

  • CallManager 4.2 and 6.0 on Operations Manager

    Hi All,
    I can add the publisher and 4 Subscribers belonging to the CallManager 4.2 Cluster on Operations Manager 2.0.2. But for some reason when I add the Publisher on CCM 6.01, the Opeations Manager throws the "Unreachable" error. I am pretty sure that I put in the correct credentials. Can anyone please suggest what is going wrong here?

    Same cluster ID perhaps?
