Critical Services on CSS - All or Any?

I've configured vip redundancy on a pair of 11506. I would like critical services defined to failover when ALL the services are down or the upstream gateway is down. The documentation isn't very clear on this. There are simple examples and only the one line about an ALL SERVICES option. (see below)
"Local critical services for any service other than scripted or redundancy
uplink, such as a Web service. The VR goes down when all associated local
critical services go down."
I assume you do the ALL services option by creating multipe critical services under the IP Interface. But the documentation doesn't say. Am I right?

Hi Gilles,
Thanks for the weekend reply! I'd read that section on critical services. It lists three options. The first two will fail if ANY of the configured keepalives fail while the third we clarified how to do an ALL option.
What I really want to do is fail over when the upstream gateway is unreachable OR all services are down (basically a hybrid ANY/ALL option).
Rather than build a separate service should I use the existing ones? I'm already using port specific keepalives under my services (port 80 and a custom application TCP port).
Can I add a second keepalive type to each service with the ping script listing the server IP and upstream router IP? That way if the router fails the service is down.
I'm guessing if it isn't possible to add a second keepalive to a service I will need to write a custom script to accomplish what I'm trying to do. No biggie I'm just looking for the quickest way to do this.
Thanks in advance.

  • CSS - all connections dropped when suspending service

    CSS11501
    version: 07.50.3.03
    I just suspended two prod services with the understanding that all existing connections would be allowed to timeout. Once I suspended these prod services the connection count (20 total) started dropping slowly until it reached 0 connections. By the time I realized this the damage had been done. Has anyne seen this behavior when suspending services?
    thanks

    Hello,
    You statement is correct, here you have a document which confirm what you said:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/css11500series/v8.10/configuration/content_lb/guide/Services.html#wp1026795
    When you suspend a service, the CSS rebalances the remaining services using the failover setting.
    Suspending a service does not affect existing  content flows, but it prevents additional connections from accessing the  service for its content.
    Checking some release notes of the version you have, we can notice there are some bugs which might be related with suspension
    That should not be an expected behavior
    Hope this helps!!!

  • Firefox don't load CSS Background at all on any Websites.

    Hey All
    I am running Firefox12 on Windows 7 ( 64 bit )
    Firefox does not load ANY css bg images, css background colors and text colors. Layout is all completely normal, but all colour and background stuff doesn't work (links are all blue, pages all white, etc.). at all on any sites.
    I've tried disabling all add-ons and restarting firefox and restarting the computer and clearing the cache and all that good stuff.
    Settings are not blocking images and are surely loading all image content automatically and all.
    Also Checked
    Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors: Colors > [[X]"Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    So that's not it
    I also use Firebug, but clearing the console does nothing. Neither does uninstalling Firebug. I noticed that in the Firefox Error Console I receive warnings for these issues. For example on this page I see numerous warning like:
    Look below for Few Screenshots of Error Console

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • ASR and suspending critical services

    Hi All
    I have two old CSS 11500 that are doing nothing but providing load balancing for 2 terminal servers.
    As per the documentation, I setup my ASR config (at least i think its right).  I'm now faced with two problems:
    Problem #1:  If I suspend the first Terminal Server service on CSS-1, CSS-2 takes over and continues to allow connectivity until the service on CSS-2 is suspended.  Is this normal behavoir?
    Problem #2:  Once I suspend the service on both servers, My rule goes down.  Show summary says the state is down and I cannot access any terminal server at all.  I am assuming this is because I have them configured as critical services, can anyone confirm?  If so, what is the process to suspend a service temporarily?
    One other question,  I have been using in testing balance aca (configs below are set to leastconn), but i'm not sure if it will work with RDP.  Can anyone confirm?  Should I instead be using leastconn or one of the others?
    Many thanks!
    Mark

    #1
    The critical service should be  an upstream/downstream device, not the services that you are using for loadbalance. That's why the CSS failover everytime you suspend one of the services.
    Here are more details about it:
    http://tools.cisco.com/squish/e0272
    #2
    The VIP is INSERVICE when at least one of the services in the Content Rule is Alive.  If all the services in the Content Rule are down, the VIP address will be down as well.

  • Critical service type "ssl-accel" (not documented)

    I only found the documentation for critical services "scripted, redundancy uplink and local" in the advanced admin guide Rel 7.2
    --snip-->
    scripted - the priority changes to 0 when one service in the scripted group goes down.
    redundancy uplink - the priority changes to 0 when all of the services in the uplink group go down.
    local - the priority changes to 0 when all of the services in the local group go down. Local services include all services other than scripted and uplink.
    <--snap---
    Now I configured a critical service of type "ssl-accel".
    This one looks like working, as a local service.
    Is this service type supported and somewhere documentated ?
    the service looks like:
    service ssl_modul1
    type ssl-accel
    keepalive type none
    slot 3
    add ssl-proxy-list proxy-list-1
    Critical-Services:
    ssl_modul1 State: active Type: Ssl-Accel

    1. you are correct, I use the service ssl_modul1 as a normal SSL Service
    2. Now if the ssl module fail, I´ll failover to the Backup CSS.
    3. My question is: could I use the service "ssl_modul1" of type ssl-accel as critical service and configure this on my circuit.
    In the documentation, you only find critical services of type "local, scripted and redundancy-uplink".
    I tried to configure it and it looks like the critical service of type "ssl-accel" works like a critical service of type local, but I am not sure, if this supported by cisco.

  • RTMT Displaying Critical Service Down, However The Cluster is Stable.

    Hi All,
    Need a little ?
    I have a CUCM Cluster consisting of 1 x Pub & 1 x Sub in a Dev Enviroment, we recently installed RTMT and noticed we get the following alarms
    for the Pub and Sub.
    Alert Name = Critical Service Down,     Severity = Critical,     Description = Service Status Down SNMP Master Agent
    Alert Name = Critical Service Down,     Severity = Critical,     Description = Service Status Down Cisco Messaging Interface SNMP Master Agent
    The alarms are genegrated every minute and is really annoying. Can't figure out why we keep getting this as the Cluster appears to be fuctioning ok.
    Is there anyway to put a Halt to the alarms?
    Please see my attached screenshot any help is appreciated.
    Regards
    Charles

    These are precanned alerts for Critcal Service Down alarms in RTMT.  The SNMP Master Agent and CMI services that are listed here are considered critical services; however, they would not typically have any impact on system performance.  In fact, if you don't use SNMP then you wouldn't need the SNMP Master Agent service activated or started.  So, I believe the likely scenario here is that all of the services in the cluster are activated but not all of them are started.  In other words, you may have activated everything and then selectively started the services you need.  I believe if you deactivate the specific services referenced, you should stop getting these alerts.

  • Monitoring services in CSS 11050 using SNMP

    Has anyone implemented SNMP monitoring of services for CSS?
    How do i go about doing it using HP Openview as the SNMP manager?
    I have read the SNMP configuration for CSS but still quite confused about setting the threshold for the RMON alarm. How do you determine what threshold to set to indicate that the service is alive or down??
    You might want to refer to the RMON guide for CSS below:
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/webscale/css/advcfggd/rmon.htm#35012

    Hi Matthew,
    actually for monitoring services via SNMP you dont need to configure
    alarms on the CSS. First, there are default traps generated by the CSS
    MIBs. Information can be found here:
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/webscale/css/advcfggd/snmp.htm#xtocid1874327
    There are two traps "Service Down" and "Service Suspended" send to
    the preconfigured mgmt station. This can be used to indicate whether
    a service is down or not.
    Secound, you can poll the state of the existing services by the mgmt
    station using the CSS MIBs, this is described here:
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/webscale/css/advcfggd/snmp.htm#xtocid1874330
    Use the svcExt.apSvcState variables to get the states.
    If you have any further questions ...
    cheers

  • How to deploy and debug java web service in eclipes or using any other soft

    Hai,
    can any one tell me how to deploy and debug java web service in eclipes or using any other software.
    i have used tomcat web server and jdk1.4.0 to develop web service.
    we have used web service to interact with MS outlook .
    bye
    sudhakar.m

    Hi Sudhakar,
    If you are used to working with ant then you can very well use eclipse to deploy your web service.
    You would usually have the ant script in the source root working directory. From eclipse if you select the build file from the navigator view and right click you will see a run ant option in the pop up menu.
    Select that option and you would be able to see each targets with a checkbox select option. So define each target maybe one for wsdl2java conversion, one for compilation and one for deploying your web services. You can either make all of them run by having depends option on or you can run them individually as it takes your fancy.
    I am not sure about debugging a web service yet.
    Hope this helps

  • Web service to return all employees

    Hi I am new to PeopleSoft but have managed to get the OVM template up and running now in virtual box and have the web services working again CI_CI_PERSONAL_DATA.  This returns data for a single employee.  How would I go about creating a web service to return all employee data in one response so that we and sync firstname, lastname etc with an external system?  Thanks

    Thanks Hakan,  I'm trying to create a web service for the find operation but each time the wsdl created starts with "wsdl:description"
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <wsdl:description name="CI_CI_PERSONAL_DATA.2" targetNamespace=
    instead "wsdl:definitions" as with the original one I created for the get operation.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:M477757.V1
    SoapUI is not happy about the new wsdl format.  Any ideas what I've done wrong?

  • Critical physical interface or critical service ?

    Hi,
    I use a one arm solution ( Trunk interface) in active/standby environment made by 2 CSS 11501, working in router mode. They, each, connect to a separte swicth through the trunk interface. In such configuation, I ask,if configuring critical physical interface is suficient? the switchs are connect through a trunk interface also, and the server and client side are distributed among them in their respectives VLANS.
    David

    David,
    The trunk with the switch could be up but the servers or the default gateway not reachable.
    You could add a critical service for the gateway.

  • Satellite R630-112 - Service Station has never showed any update or alert

    Hi,
    I'm tired of manually updating my drivers and toshiba software, because Service station does not show any update or alert. I have relied on Tempro Alerts and on manual comparison of versions and dates.
    Has anyone had the same problem? Any solution for it?

    > the wireless connection goes down a lot at my work network.
    This would explain why updates are important for you. In this case I would also search for driver updates because this shouldnt happen.
    Anyway, this can have different reasons. First of all I would disable the WLAN power saving feature of WLAN card. This can be done in Windows power management. You have to do this for every power profile. Maybe this can help you:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm
    Wireless Adapter Settings should be set to maximum performance!
    If it doesnt help you can try a WLAN driver update. You can do this yourself and newest version can be downloaded here:
