Hello
Got this error on win server 2003. It is a new installation of LMS 3.2. Tried to start it from CM >>Server>>admin>>processes but that did not help. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
pdshow logg is included.

Check in the CmfDbEngine.log and also the Windows Event Viewer.
What error messages do you get there?
Also, what changes if any were made to the startup type to the Services in Control Panel?

DCR Server Down Error Message LMS 4.0.1

Hi,
I have a problem with my LMS 4.0.1! It was working fine till a couple of days ago. When I started it, all my equipment were missing and when i tried doing a Discovery Seach it launched a message saying that the DCR Server is Down.
I checked under Services in my Server and everything involving CiscoWorks is running. Ive Restarted the Deamon and still no luck. DCHP Service is disabled.
Have anyone had the same problem?? How can I fix it??
I have LMS 4.0.1 in a Windows 2008 R2 Server.
Ill be looking forward to a repply!
Thank you!!
Sincerely,
Dante

In the apache logs, I do see a Terminating on signal SIGTERM(15) and [warn] (OS 64)The specified network name is no longer available. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.
1. Disable DEP (Windows Data Exectution Protection)
2. Disable SSL if in use, stop LMS Daemon Manager then
going to CSCOpx/MDC/Apache directory. Run the command from the CLI "CSCOpx/bin/perl.exe CSCOpx/bin/Apache/Config
SSL.pl -disable".
3. Ensure that you have enough resources allocated for the server, I did notice that you did not meet the system requirement for the hard drive space according to CiscoWorks Install logs.
4. Run the hostname change script as well from "CSCOpx/bin/perl.exe CSCOpx/bin/hostnamechange.pl" and reboot the server after gracefully shutting down the LMS daemon manager.
5. Post the updated screenshot of the services and pdshow after you have done the above steps along with the CSCOpx/log/syslog.log and CSCOpx/bin/pdshow output again.

DCR Server may be down.

I have seen this problem before if Daemon Manager (or rather Tomcat) is started too soon after it is stopped. In that case, the TCP sockets responsible for internal communication have not be relinquished, and thus this error occurs.
However, in your case, DCRServer is up. Therefore, I suspect you may be seeing CSCtd07131 which can affect multi-CPU Windows machines. I recommend you open a service request with TAC to obtain the patch for this bug.

LMS 4.2.2 virtual appliance fresh install : DCR Server Error

Hello,
I have installed a new version of LMS 4.2 on virtual appliance (VMware 4.1) and I have an issue.
When I go the "Device Administration --> Manage Device State" I have the following error :
Server Error
Error
Error in communicating with DCR Server. For more details click here.
DCR Server may be down. Please start the DCR Server and then refresh the page.
Following the details link I have : (I did all the check written below).
DCR Server Error
The communication error may be due to the following reasons:
The DNS resolution does not match with server assigned IP Address. Workaround: DNS resolvable IP Address should be same as server IP Address. DHCP is enabled in the server. Workaround: DHCP should be disabled in the server. The server’s original IP Address may have changed. Workaround: Restart Cisco Prime Daemon Manager. CTM registry corruption has occurred due to rebooting the server without stopping the Cisco Prime Daemon Manager. Workaround: Delete the ctmregistry and ctmregistry.backup file in NMSROOT/MDC/tomcat/webapps/cwhp/WEB-INF/LIB and then restart the Cisco Prime Daemon Manager. DCR Server and related process might be down. Workaround: Check the processes to make sure DCR Server is running, and restart it if not. The hostname change is not done by the hostnamechange.pl in LMS. Workaround: Hostname change should be done using NMSROOT/bin/hostnamechange.pl in LMS. LMS self signed certificate would have been expired. Workaround: Regenerate the certificate and restart the daemon manager.
I try to reinstall LMS 4.2 with or without patches 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 I always have the same problem. The DCR server process is running.

Hi Afroz!
Thanks for the quick reply!
1) I checked files - and indeed, the third link of the file was empty.
I restored contents of the same test server (as an attachment - original files) - now everything is working fine. Many thanks for your advice!
Because of what could this happen?
Current settings are as follows (i did not change them):
[lms42/root-ade etc]# ls -la /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/shared/lib/ctm_config.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 casuser casusers 1037 Jul 22 13:54 /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/shared/lib/ctm_config.txt
[lms42/root-ade etc]# ls -la /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/webapps/cwhp/WEB-INF/lib/ctm_config.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 casuser casusers 1084 Jul 22 13:54 /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/webapps/cwhp/WEB-INF/lib/ctm_config.txt
[lms42/root-ade etc]# ls -la /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/lib/ctm_config.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 casuser casusers 1104 Aug 20 12:07 /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/lib/ctm_config.txt
2) It was also noted that if address on the link "Inventory>Device Administration>Discovery>Schedule", then an error message appears:
Error
Error in getting the Discovery configuration information, please configure Standard / Custom Discovery and start the schedule.
- no any records for Discovery Schedule and not accessible button Add (for add new Discovery Jobs).
This is related errors?

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.

Error Communicating with DCR Server

Hello,
While trying to edit device credentials, I got this error from DCR:
Error in communicating with DCR Server.
DCR Server may be down. Please start the DCR Server and then refresh the page.
But when I checked the DCRServer process status from Process Status Report and the Process List, it's Running normally.
What could be the problem? The CiscoWorks server runs 3.0.1 (December 2007 Update). Attached are pdshow command output, dcr and DCRServer logs

Hi,
This issue most likely is related to a communication problem with the database or a corruption as we can see from the logs :
2010/11/21 19:44:41 main ani ERROR POStore: Failed resolving object because: java.lang.NullPointerException
2010/11/21 19:44:41 main ani ERROR AniMain: java.lang.NullPointerException
ANI Server failed to load from the database.
Please stop and restart the system. You may need to re-initialize the database.
If this does not work, please contact technical support.
The next step is to re-initialize the Campus Manager database. This procedure will delete all the records and maps that you have in Campus Manager, you would need to run a new Campus Data Collection and User Tracking Acquisition to have clean and fresh database information.
If that ok with you, you can try the below steps to re-initialize the Campus database. By doing this, it will not effect any other database of LMS will clean Campus Manager database.
+) Stop the daemon manager:
net stop crmdmgtd
+) cd CSCOpx\bin\
+) Type the following command (case sensitive):
perl dbRestoreOrig.pl dsn=ani dmprefix=ANI
+) Start the daemon manager:
net start crmdmgtd
Now, wait another 15 minutes and wait for dmgtd.lock file to release from location CSCOpx\objects\dmgtd\ready.
Now check the status of ANIServer with command :- pdshow ANIServer ( case sensitive)
it should have the status Busy with Flag set.
Thanks,

DCR Server Error LMS 4.0

Hi,
Dear Expert.
first of all i apologies that my English is not good.
i am using Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1 and using CiscoWorks
LAN Management Solution
Version 4.0
when i click on discovery button in inventory menu. then i face this problem. kindly help me how can i discover my network devices.? i am using Routers, Switches, CMTS, Peplinks and Servers.
Error
Error in communicating with DCR Server. DCR Server may be down. Please start the DCR Server and then start discovery.

Can you try accessing the LMS application locally from the server using http://localhost:1741 and duplicate the problem? The error in the logs implies the server is attempting to use a different address that is out of scope from the original DCR setup.
com.cisco.nm.dcr.DCRException: CSTM Error Code [-3] CSTM Comm Type [0] - URN_OUT_OF_SCOPE : "LocalDCR"
Do the following steps:
1. Stop the CiscoWorks Daemon manager from the cli using "net stop crmdmgtd".
2. Add the the CiscoWorks server to the host file mapping it to the ip address of the interface. Using notepad, open C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc\hosts file. Add an entry "79.98.184.60 DELL6800" and save the file.
3. Goto CSCOpx/bin and run the "perl hostnamechange.pl" and reboot the server.
4. Start the services using "net start crmdmgtd" if it has not started on start up.
5. Access the LMS page from the server itself using "http://localhost:1741" and duplicate the problem with the "admin" user.
Let us know the results.

Operations Manager fails to communicate with DCR server

After a recent restart of the Operations Manager server we found it is no longer able to manage devices. When attempting to open a applet that depends on DCR connection I receive an error " Error in communicating with DCR Server. DCR Server may be down. Please start the DCR Server and refresh the page." I have attached the DCR logs and pdshow from the server. Has anyone experienced this issue, and if so, how can I correct it. Any help would be appreciated.

I am constantly seeing this error at multiple sites on Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 Standard and DataCenter.
I have counted over 50 different server I manage with services such as domain controller, hyper-v, file servers, exchange 2013, SQL 2008/2012, and print servers.
I have seen it happen on machine that have been in production for over 2 years and to machines that were just created last week.
It is happening on metal, hyper-v and esx vmware servers.
It is happening when the machine have updates waiting or no updates, or after updates have been applied and awaiting a restart.
It is happening on Dell PowerEdge server, HP Proliant servers and IBM servers.
It is happening on servers with Intel and AMD chip-sets.
It is happening on machines that are a part of a domain or in a workgroup.
It is happening on machines with AV of Bitdefendor, Trend Micro, Vipre, Microsoft Endpoint, and Symantec Endpoint.
Only a restart will fix it.
I have ran process monitor on several of the problem machines and I cannot find anything.
Since I have only started seeing this about 6 month ago it must be a Windows update causing it.

Help with what? It's YOUR responsibility to READ the requirements for any app you want to purchase. They are clearly stated on the app's info page. So, either update your phone or beg iTunes support for a refund:

My iphone 5 will not turn on ... i have held both buttons down at the same time and I get nothing ...it is fully charged ....any other suggestions?

My iphone 5 will not turn on ....I have held both buttons down at the same for a long time and get nothing ...it is fully charged ....and other suggestions?

The screen on my iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1.3) went dark after unplugging it from the PC. I could still could see a backlight on the screen, but unresponsive. iOS was hung in this state.
I opted to try a reset holding power and home button, which succeeded in turning off the phone.
After that, the screen went completely off. Power button didn't appear to turn on the phone.
Upon plugging back to iTunes, I discovered, even as the screen was pitch black, the phone was actually able to power on, or off if I repeated the reset....I could hear the USB connection chime on the PC every time I powered on or reset. The iOS was in some sort of corrupted state with no screen output.
I couldn't restore to factory settings, as iTunes requires I disable "Find My Phone" on the phone itself, which I couldn't do without screen output. Also tried to put the phone in "Recovery Mode"...didn't work either.
I finally succeeded by:
Logging in via web browser to iCloud, locating the phone with the "Find My Phone" web app, and triggering [Erase]. iCloud reported the phone was successfully erased.
After a minute, the phone rebooted itself and screen output worked again.
I then restored my data and settings from my last backup using iTunes without further issues.
Hope this helps others.
