Configuration Manager & Licenses for AIX, Linux

All,
I have read the SCCM 2012 licensing document (System Center
2012 Licensing Pricing and SKU Overview) but I'm still unable to understand the content. Does one pay, having a datacenter license, for every configuration manager client used on each device (based on cpu) and does this also count for the SCOM
client?Or having paid for the scom client means that the configuration manager client is covered as well.
Also, how does this model applies when installing a client on an AIX LPAR which is part of a Power 5 or Power 6 system. (with for example 64 cpu's). Does this simply mean the need to have 32 CAL's ?
Bit confused about the following statement in the document "SC 2012 Datacenter allows for any # of managed OSEs per license."
thanks

Hi,
to get a valid legal answer, I would recommend to contact your licensing Partner.
But from my Point of view:
You are right, for the Server with 64 cpu's, you will Need 32 System Center 2012 R2 Datacenter/Standard Server Management Licenses. But then, all available Clients are usable (SCOM, SCCM, DPM)
The Statement simply means: When you have a datacenter license, which only has to cover the requirements of the cpu's, it doesn't matter, how many virtualized Systems (OSE) are running on this Server, on all of those OSE's you can use the System
Center Clients (or manage them without). Other than with Standard, where you got to check, if you have to license the cpu's or the OSE's.
I hope I could Point that out.

Is Oracle Configuration Manager Available for Hyperion Planning Servers?

The "My Oracle Support" site (https://support.oracle.com) describes the values of installing the Oracle Configuration Manager on servers.
Question: is this available for the Hyperion products or just Oracle databases? If available for Hyperion products, does it add value to tech support?
Any comments would be appreciated.

John
This is partially correct. If you user12136418 are looking for a way to monitor health automatically and get access to web ex session technical support from one console OCM is a great tool. The fact that it is not a thick client in nature nor a windows service makes it ideal for having agents monitor network traffic SNMP and still have all hyperion health monitored without having to run a tool like SCOM. I have been waiting for this tool for a year . Now if only Hyperion would work with IE8. But we all can not have egg in our beer.

Configuring Management VLAN for standalone Nexus 5k

Hi All,
The architecture in the attachment doesnt require redundancy and hence has a single N5k with N2k as FEX. The setup is working fine except for the management vlan and mgmt 0 interface being down.
As of now, mgmt0 interface has no link connected to it. The VLAN for nexus management is also down as mgmt0 cant be assigned to vlans.. Configuring management IP to Loopback interface also doesnt allow adding the same to management vlan.
Is mgmt0 an RJ45 compatible port with N5596? and is there a way I can have out of band management for Nexus 5596? Is there a way I can assign a management IP to the FEX?
Thanks for the inputs.
Thanks,
Bala S

Hello Balachandhar,
Mgmt interface on N5K exists to provide out of band management to the device.
Mgmt interface belongs to management vrf. You can reach the N5K on mgmt interface once you configure IP to mgmt interface and connect it to upstream switch port belonging to mgmt vlan.
The FEX cannot be seperately managed. You need to connect to the parent N5K device and manage it.

Online Radio Management Software for Arch Linux

After switching to Arch Linux, I found out that I have no interest to try any other distro. Unfortunately I really missed something that I have used in Ubuntu, and that was Sourcefabric : Airtime. It is a free opensource radio automation software, and that mean if you want to have an online radio, you can make it yourself using Airtime.
Can somebody port this software to Arch Linux, or anybody have a better choice/solution? Any suggestion will greatly be appreciated. Thank you very much for spending your time reading this.

Read about the AUR. Create a PKGFILE for it and then you can install it via makepkg. Then, if it works well, submit your PKGFILE to the AUR.

ESA Centralized Management License

Hi all,
my customer provides single ESA Appliance and would like to produce another one (either physical or virtual). I can see there is no Centralized management license on existing single ESA (wiht dual ESA it was automaticaly added in the past). Can somebody point me, how to obtain (order) centralized management license for existing ESA to be able to make configuration cluster with future ESA?
As I understand it right way, there should be no problem to provide configuration cluster with hybrid ESA (Physical and virtual) - Is it true?
Thank you for any help.

You may request the license be provided for your serial number by contacting our Global Licensing team. They will provide you the availability of the Centralized Management feature key based on your contract and appliance.
Please contact our Global Licensing Operations team:
https://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/LicensingUI/Home
Licensing FAQ
Phone: 1-800-553-2447, opt 3 (You may request to have a case opened for GLO/Licensing.)
Their email directly is: [email protected]
For the virtual appliance - you will need to assure that they build the centralized management feature key into the license XML, and re-provide a fresh XML for your vESA, based on the VLN associated to the vESA. To get this information - please run 'showlicense' on the CLI.
I hope this helps!

Do I need a license for Uninterruptible Power Supply?

Thanks!

You dont need any specific licenses for monitoring these devices with SCOM.

Communication lost - Same installation, same version of client (.exe), but client has different configuration in Configuration Manager properties

Hi, I can't understand how I get the following different between old and newly installed client. On the left side it is the original client configuration and on the right side it is what client gets after installing the same version of CCMSETUP.EXE (5.00.7958.1000)
with SCCM 2012 R2.
Differences noticed:
-Catalog's name (in Software center) are different. New client has "IT Ogarnization" as name for their catalog.
-Configuration Manager Properties for new client doesn't have "Configurations" Tab.
-Many Components status in the components tab are different: CCM Notification Agent, Compliance and Settings Managment, Hardware Inventory Agent, Out of Band Mangement Agent...
With all this, I can't send Windows updates or any applications to ANY clients. The client status in the monitoring deployment always shows "Unknown".
I don't think it is on the client side, because I return to older VMware snapshot and see the different, after uninstalled and re-installed the SCCM agent, I get the new "problematic" client configuration.
Any suggestion to resolve my problem? Thank you in advance.

Here the all three logs. Sorry to give them like that but I think it is best way to let you take a look. I did change some name and reference to hide my environment.
Also, I don't know if there a link with my problem, but I guess so.
- I noticed in Monitoring\System Status\Components Status\"Warning SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER", the following message (ID 6703):
WSUS Synchronization failed.
Message: Thread was being aborted.
Source:
Microsoft.SystemsManagementServer.SoftwareUpdatesManagement.WsusSyncAction.WSyncAction.SyncWSUS.
- I noticed in Monitoring\System Status\Components Status\ "Warning SMS_AD_SYSTEM_DISCOVERY_AGENT", the following message (ID 5203):
Active Directory System Discovery Agent reported errors for 2074 objects. DDRs were generated for 0 objects that had errors while reading non-critical properties. DDRs were not generated for 2074 objects that had errors while reading
critical properties.
Possible cause: The site server might not have access to some properties of this object. The container specified might not have the properties available.
Solution: Please verify the Active Directory schema for properties that are not replicated or locked.
Refer to the discovery logs for more information.
I'll upload a print screen of all three logs files. If you need it in text format, I'll upload them as the code Block.
Thank you again!

Version control and configuration management

How is version control and configuration management done for iPlanet6 web
and app servers?

I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you are asking. Neither iWS or
iAS have built in version control or configuration management. But
pretty much everyone integrates them with version control or SCM in some
way. Ranging from the complex (say integrating iAS and Interwoven) to
the simplistic (using CVS to track HTML documents or source code).

Creating Managed Server for Weblogic that comes with Oracle Service Bus

I've installed Oracle Service Bus 10.3.
Weblogic Server 10.3 comes bundled with OSB 10.3.
Everything is working fine in the Admin Server.
But when I create a Managed server and try to start it, I get the following exception and server doesn't start :
####<Nov 10, 2009 10:24:32 AM IST> <Critical> <Security> <iflmud6dlb5jn> <OSBManagedServer2> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <> <1257828872747> <BEA-090403> <Authentication for user weblogic denied>

I've tried changing the boot.properties file and given clear text username and password, but even this did not change the exception.
Are there any other security concerns that are to be taken care of while configuring Managed Server for Oracle Service Bus?
Kindly help.

How are you starting the manageserver. Is it using command line or using NodeManager from Weblogic console of admin server. Most of the times we start managed server using yourDomain/bin/startManagedWebLogic.cmd (.sh).
startManagedWebLogic nameOfYourManagedServer adminURL(Ex: http://host:port).
If you created a managed server at the time of creation of domain itself using custom option, then under your domain root folder, you should see a file named like "startManagedWebLogic_readme.txt" that kind of gives the same above command.
If you added the managed server later on, to an existing single server domain, then you can use the above command.
