Connecting to UCS6120 from Fabric Manager using TACACS

Standalone Fabric Manager 5.0(4a)
UCS 1.4(3s)
I have to log into Fabric Manager using TACACS with SNMPv3 (company network security restriction).
I launch Fabric Manger using my TACACS account which connects to all the switches in my two fabrics using the same credentials.
I can connect to all MDS9513, MDS9222i, IBM Bladechassis FC switch modules and all NX5020 switches in the fabrics. Fabric Manager cannot connect to any of the eight UCS6120 switches in the fabrics, returning a status of Unknow User or Password(Server,Client).
This, I understand, requires the creation of a specific SNMP user, which is fine. However as I am logged into Fabric Manager using a single TACACS account, I cannot supply alternate credentials to a subset of switches in the fabric.
Is there a work around for this to enable management of the 6120s in FM? or am I missing something.
Thanks
Mike Taylor

Fabric Manager uses the same credentials to access all systems, these credentials will need to be valid on the UCS platform as well. Create a local SNMP user on UCS and check. This needs to be different from any non-snmp authentication accounts on UCS.
Note that FM cannot manage UCS. You will be able to view into UCS but not make changes. May not be an issue if UCSM is running end host mode. To make any changes, you will need to use the UCSM GUI or CLI or other tool for administration.
Thank You,

Get the connected users count from sql server using powershell

Hi,
I am working on SharePoint 2013,I am having SQL server 2012.
I want to get the Connected Users count from sql server using power shell.
Can any one please let me know how to implement.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry Tom, I dont like to hear "There is no way" :-(
There is always a way in computer to get what you need (at least it is good as Rule of thumb). I am not sure we will find it here (in a voluntary supporting forum).
Now we (or better the architect of their system) should think of the way :-)
Of course doing so in the forum, while we do know the system and only got a glimpse on what is needed, is not the best idea. I will point some issues which can be related to a solution. Those are not a solotions as it is but something we can use for a solution
once something look in the right way.
* A web connects counter is one of the easier thing to do. The basic idea is just to use the connect event and the disconnect event an adding 1 or removing 1 from the counter. This is best to do in the application using static variable as any way the second
the application is down the counter can be go to hell as we know there is no one connect (there for a counter do not use database usually). Using a web dot-net (or asp 3) application this is done most of the time using the global.asa/global.asax file, which
include the application and session events. for example using the method Session_Start
protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Code that runs when a new session is started
* IIS have a build-in loging system where we can log each and every request/response or only logins users. There is lot we can do with this log files including data mining. Using small bulk insert script we can use the SQL agent to insert those logs to the
database and get the information we need.
* any web developer i want to believe know about the Fiddler application which we use to monitor traffic. A proxy is not the only way to to monitor traffic (it is not good for our case as this is in the client side), there are several option in the server
side.
* SQL trigger on logon can be use to get information on who is loging on and can be logging only specific source (like our sharepoint IP or any sharepoint application). This information (what is the application which connect to the server can be retrive
in several solution without using a trigger as well)
*** (I'll be brief ... I'm getting bored... probably the reader feel the same)
* using extended events and/or profiler we can monitor any connection and save the data or just remember it in shared (static) variable (this
blog show how to do it by the way). Again we can monitor specific application or use any filter in order to get only the sharepoint users
.... and i can continue for several days more :-) ...
"If there is a willing, then there's a way"
"If you can't do it, Then someone else probably can"
"Never say never"
I hope this help somehow :-)

Can't connect to facebook from candy crush using my iphone 5?

can't connect to facebook from candy crush using my iphone 5

Returned home only to find the same situation with my home network. Much time on chat support with Apple. Short story long: Must have been corrupted software. Had to restore original original software then add back apps and music. Couldn't back up before doing the restore so I lost a bunch of pics, but at least the phone is working once again.

Error to Connect Oracle Files from Mac Os10 using smb protocol .

I connect my MacOs10 to oracle Workspaces using smb protocol but when I try to copy a file into a folder the system show me "error -36".
From the finder I type "apple -k" and then I write "smb://nomeserver". The system show me "User name" and "Password" and after the authentication I see "MyHome" resource on my desktop.
I navigate into MyWorkspaces folders and than I copy a file from a local directory. After a few second the system show me "error -36" and the file is not transferred from local to server.
Any idea?
Thanks

In OCS10g SMB protocol not supported, use FTP or WebDav.

Can't connect to internet from my PC using Nokia N...

Hello.
I bought a Nokia N8 recently. Its awesome but I still couldn't solve this problem.
I can't connect to the internet from my PC using N8 as a modem.
When I use Ovi Suite, it says "Failed to establish a network connection".
When I use the "Conn. PC to net." mode.. the application says "Valid connection could not be found". But I'm confident my operator's plans and settings/destinations are correct as I can connect and browse the internet from the phone. (Pls still say something if applicable)
When I try to connect to the internet using Windows Network and Sharing Center, it says "A device or driver is not functioning properly" or something similar
Pls help me with this problem. Its really, really urgent
thanks

You haven't establized a connection to the network, so you can't use MS network sharing which means you are sharing the PC connection to others. What you wanted is to use the N8 modem to connect to the network.
Uninstall Ovi Suites & install PC suites for your N8. Make sure all drivers are loaded properly. Run pcsuite & just click the network menu to connect to internet. By the way what's the version of your MS OS; XPsp3, Vista or Windows 7 ?
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

Hello,
We have two Fabric Manager Servers, both of them don't send email alerts to EMC² anymore.
Server.properties are OK. (didn't change)
Telnet to our mail servers with port 25 is OK from both fabric managers.
FM version is 4.2(1b) and 4.2(7b)
When I create a test trap: test pfm snmp test-trap powersupply the trap appears in events on both fabric managers but no mail is send accordingly
Our network people made the following observation:
At EMC² Powerlink a Service Request was made: 39369684 (22 February 2011)
What goes wrong here?
Ivy

Hello,
After searching for many weeks the [email protected] mailing problem is solved!
The problem was in the server.properties file
No longer XML files were produced to email.
There was a reference to a XML folder in stead of logs folder!

Creating a connection to Orchestrator from Service manager

HI,
   i have finish installing System Center Orchestrator 2012 R2 and i was trying to integrate Configuration Manager and Service Manager with Orchestrator, however i ran into a problem when i was trying to access the Orchestrator Web Service URL
for example http://someserver:100/Orchestrator2012/Orchestrator.svc
and its showing the following error for the above URL,
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL
and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /Orchestrator2012/Orchestrator.svc
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.1
     I was wondering if there is some configurations that needs to be done on Orchestrator or did i miss something out in the installation part of the Orchestrator.
    Another question that i had was that how does the two way communication works with CM and Orchestrator directly?     How does the two way communication happens with CM and SM?
Thanks.

Hi,
It happens sometimes. The Orchestrator's web service isn't functional for some reasons. For your other questions I can say that SM connects to Orchestrator using the Orchestrator's web service. It seems that Orchestrator connects to SM using SM's API.
Cheers,
Marat

Cisco MDS 9513/9509 LDAP/AD Auth via SSH & Fabric Manager

Hello Folks,
I am trying to look for working config with LDAP auth over SSH. I know how to use them over TACACS+ & Radius. But due to other internal issue, currently I am trying to get the Cisco MDS to directly auth using LDAP/AD. Also, I see no option of LDAP/AD in FM(Fabric Manager), but just TACACS+, Radius, LocalFM and MDS. Do using MDS uses default auth(ie whatever AAA authentication is configured for ? or local DB on the switch). Does the new DCNM supports LDAP/AD auth on the GUI ?
Larger goal is SSH(CLI) & FM(GUI) using the same LDAP/AD auth. I understand the snmp-server user issue. But once I have SSH working over LDAP/AD I can figure that out to..
Here's what I need to ensure when using LDAP/AD auth
1) What is the exact config for this LDAP/AD auth
2) How do I ensure that network-admin & network-opertor roles are assigned when certain AD Groups Logins in Like ADMIN-AD-GROUP , OPERATOR-AD-GROUP --> trying to login to the switch
3) Also using SSL port for LDAP, do details are encrypted over the network.
4) Do I need to use the PASSWORD in paintext when BINDING the BaseDN ?, can it be an encrypted password.
Appreciate any info on this. Thanks for your time.

As of DCNM 6.1 (aka - Fabric Manager Server) we support LDAP authentication adding to existing Radius, TACACS+, local and switch authentications. You can upgrade from Fabric Manager 5.0 to DCNM 5.2 to DCNM 6.1 if you like to keep current performance, events, config data alive. We do recommend fresh install as we don't know what state your server dabatabase might be in. Including some links for you to help out with deployment and best practices (see release notes).

Connecting to HP Business Service Management BSM ?

Has anyone tried to connect to HP Business Service Management using SNMP or do you know if a plug-in / connector is on its way for this.

Worked this issue today with Dell Pro Support and Microsoft Pro Support. We were not able to determine the root cause of this issue. It was something of a
firedrill, the VM was not responding to requests to shut it down gracefully. The disk in question generating the warning was Disk 1 for me:
Event
ID 153 - The IO Operation at logical block address xxxx for Disk 1 was retried.
andthis
VM has a physical disk0 so we are not sure what disk one was. Was able to turn off the VM from hyper v manager and then bring it online again with no issues. The warning 153 has cleared
itself for now. Would like
know the root cause and how I could avoid this pitfall if it
happens again. But for now I will settle for all services running.

Can no longer open Fabric Manager Web Client 4.7(2b)

Hello
I have recently upgraded from Fabric Manager 3.3(2b) to 4.2(7b). I followed the correct path, so went from 3.3 to 4.1 and then from 4.1 to 4.2.
The application opens but I can not browse to the localhost address on either http or https and there are no Cisco related services running, or, even available. Additionally, the server is no longer listenning on port 80 or 443.
Does anyone know of what might be happenning here because at the moment, trying to get to the server from itself, or remotely, just brings up a "page cannot be displayed" error.
Many thanks in advance
Anthony
p.s. I have rebooted since the rebuild.

Hi
Yes, the PostgreSQL service has started but there is not even a Cisco Fabric Manager service visible, nor a Fabric Manager Web Client service. I can open Fabric Manager and it works, just no services and I cant open the Web GUI.
Thanks for replying

Remove VPP Token from Profile Manager

Hello,
I recently set up a test OSX Mavericks server and enrolled our VPP for testing purposes. To continue testing other options, I signed up for a Meraki account, and wanted to see how their VPP process compared with OSX Server. However, when I tried to enroll the VPP at Meraki I got an error...
"one or more errors occurred. No changes have been saved. VPP service token contains invalid characters."
I am trying to trouble shoot this, but not having much luck. At first I thought it might be an issue with our account name because we have Japanese in the business name. However, when I made some changes to teh OSX server during testing and re-entered the VPP it said that it was in use and that continuing would reset it. I said OK.
So no I wonder if the Meraki error is a resualt of teh VPP token already being registered with a different MDM.
Any body have experience with this error from Meraki or with how to remove the token from OSX Server.
Thanks for any help or insight you can offer.

Fabric Manager not starting.

Fabric Manager use to work but stop working for no reason. we are currently on 2.1(b). Did the norm uninstalled/reinstalled, deleted the Cisco directory (Windows XP), Device Manager works fine. Doesn't work on the Fabric Manager server either or other workstations!

This sounds like a Security issue with Java and what is on your systems. Check with your IT Security group

Remove app from Profile Manager

hello there,
Having set up my Lion Server with several users, I was testing the pushing of apps. It works just flawless.
But after playing I wanted to delete all the test apps I uploaded.
I can't find any option to delete them. Only a link on internet to delete it in the database.
Weird, one should be able to delete something?
Even, when I upload my first App, and then one day later the same App, but a newer file, still the old date of the first upload is in the App list.
Do I miss something?
Please helpme!

Excel Connection Manager suddenly can no longer connect to Excel from SSIS package

During the last 3 months, I used 32 bit SSIS 2008 (v 10.50.2500.0) on an WinXp machine (v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) to create a package that writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. Each report is written to a different
tabbed sheet in the same spreadsheet. The package was working just fine until May 9 2013, when suddenly every single Data Flow task with an Excel Destination displayed error icons and raised the following
error message when opening the Advanced Editor:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". Error at <DataFlow task name>: SSIS
error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager <Excel connection Manager> failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more
information on why the Acquire Connection method call failed. Exception from HRESULT: 0Xc020801c (Microsoft.SQlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)Originally the error message reported that the Error Code was "0x8000FFFF", but I can't seem
to reproduce that error code since. Now I am only getting the above error message.From the time I created the original package (when it worked fine) until now, I have been using the same computer, writing to a (32 bit) 2010 Excel file in
a local folder. The filename and location have not changed. The ConnectionString has not changed. The Connnection String I am using is Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Conversion\Conversion Results_dt01.xlsx;Extended Properties="EXCEL
12.0 XML;HDR=YES;". Now an attempt to create and test a NEW Connection Manager yields me this error. "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unspecified error.",  whereas before I had
no problems creating a new connection manager.I checked a second SSIS package, which I also built during the past 3 months, which loads multiple sheets from multiple Excel files to a SQL Server 2008 database holding table. It uses the same
ACE OLE DB 12.0 connection to load the Excel speadsheets and this package continues to work fine on the same workstation.In desparation, wondering if the Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 driver had become corrupt (even though the second package
was raising no errors), I did download and install the Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 driver.  That did not solve my problems with the first package.I need to get this package running again ASAP as it is targeted for UAT testing in a
matter of days. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!

I submitted this issue above and now I am having the same problem again. I am using the same local computer, the same operating system (WinXp v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) as originally described. I am working with the same SSIS package that
writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. This package has been successfully executed multiple times, but now I am suddenly getting the same error as follows:
Error at 1ConversionContacts [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Access Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error".
Error at DFlow Write soft deleted duplicate claims to Excel sheet [Excel Destination - write duplicate claim nbrs that have been removed to Excel [61]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method
call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
The package will not run because of these multiple errors (multiple because it occurs on every single excel destination in the package).
I have Run64BitRuntime set to false on the project. I have triple checked that the excel file name (which I created and can access) exists with the correct name in the correct path, which is local on my machine. The file is the same file in the same
location as when the package worked. I am running the SSIS service under my own network login, as I was when the package worked. I have been consistently getting this same error whenever I change my network password without updating the password
in the SSIS service, but I have triple verified that the service is using my latest password. If I try to open and edit the Excel Destination in any DataFlow task I get the same error. I can successfully create a new Excel Connection Manager pointing
to the same excel file. However if I try to assign the newly created Excel Connection Manager in the data flow, I cannot activate the drop down to choose the Excel sheet without getting an 'Unspecified error' message. I then swapped out
the file with its template version, and ensured the name was updated as correct. I still get the same errors.
Oh, and the SSIS package is extracting data from a SQL Server 2008 database with an ADO.net Connection Manager using Windows authentication. I have no problems with the SQL Server connection, it has always worked and still does. It is only
the connection to excel output file which is locally stored on my machine.
Has anyone got any suggestions for me?
