GSS to CSS, convert ICMP keepalive to shared KAL-AP

After modifying the keeplive on the GSS answer file to the shared KAL-AP, does the GSS still need to get to the IP Address of the ICMP keepalive?
For example, currently the GSS is pinging each individual address configured in each Answer entry.
Do I still need to have connectivity from the GSS to each of these these addresses, or is the status
information for all Answer files provided in the single KAL-AP session from the GSS to the interface on the CSS?
If so then,
We have three GSS devices
GSSM - Primary
GSS
GSSM - Secondary
The secondary GSSM is in our DR site in another part of the country.
We need to make sure all three GSSs can get to the IP Address of the CSS interface configured in the KAL-AP Session, correct?

Thanks
In our current scenario, the GSSM Primary and the GSS are in the Main site and the GSSM Secondary is in a DR site.
I wouldnt think the shared keepalive traffic should go across the Internet as it is from GSS to CSS.
If I wanted to ensure that when the DR site Internet is down, that we do not send DNS requests to anything in that site, if the keepalive traffic is internal, how do we make sure nothing gets sent to that site?
Would the inter GSS communication traffic be sent across the Internet?

Looking for Table to CSS Converter

I'm asking the Dreamweaver Community for HELP...
I currently own CS3 of Dreamweaver and while there are some
ways to convert tables to a css format manually.
Is anyone using a software or a work-a-round to automate this
process of converting TABLES to CSS automatically.
For example i have DOZENS OF HTML pages that are loaded with
Nested Tables... and all i want to do is run that HTML page through
a TABLE to CSS converter.
And then that’s it... you're done!... no tedious copy
and pasting converting one table at a time.
Does CS3 have something I’m missing that would remedy
this or make Converting Tables to CSS more automated and not
one-at-a-time converting?
Thanks for any suggestions or links.

A well built page with tables is infinitely more
representative of your work
than the train wreck that results when you convert tables to
layers.
Put a 5x5 table on the page, merge and split some of the
cells, add some
content to each cell, and convert to layers. Look at the
incredible mess
you have now in your code. Preview in a browser, and expand
your text size
in the browser. Look at the incredible mess you have in the
browser.
I think your approach is COMPLETELY wrong.

GSS ICMP keepalive minimum interval while offline

HI Everyone,
hope you can help me with my silly questions but i could not find and informations on this one.
We are using GSS (Version 4.1.2.0.9) and we worked out some scripts to register and check all KALs (Keepalives)
Therefore we are parsing the "show statistics keepalive answer type vip all" output. I was checking that the Counters for the "negative probes" for TCP are working as expected (with online and offline KALs) meaning that the counter moves within the "minimum interval" which is specified in the config for those TCP KALs, which they did.
But unfortunatley this does not work with ICMP KALs. In the Online status of the KAL the counters are working just fine with every 40s (default value of the minimum inteval) but when the status is offline the counter just speeding up like 3 or 4 times faster, at least its obvious to me that it isnt the same 40s intervals as with a online KAL
I just wondering if the ICMP KALs minimum interval is decreased( to 5 sec or so) if the KAL is offline (maybe to speed up transition back to online status)
Do you guys experiencing the same? did not found any setting where i could alter this setting or at least see whats the interval then.
Thank you in advance
Cheer Andy

Noone? :-(

What is the best way to implement CSS UDP service keepalive?

I would like a way to do this without changing the application. Below I found one way to do this in this forum but can one do this? I didn't see a way in the css scripting language to check for the ICMP error.
Is it possible to write such CSS script:
- to send UDP traffic to UDP port on server,
- if there is no answer -service is active,
- if ICMP port unreachable is received - server is declared down.
If this isn't possible, is there another way to do this?
Thanks
Linda

Linda,
the above is not possible.
The solution is to send real application data and inspect the response.
You can do this by sniffing a request from a client directly to a server, and capturing the response as well.
Extract the data portion - beyond the udp header, and convert to a chain of hex numbers.
Use those numbers in the socket send function with the raw option.
You can find an example of such a script on your CSS by doing a
sho script ap-kal-dns
To analyse the response, you can also use socket receive with the raw option.
Regards,
Gilles.

CSS best practice / keepalives

We have a Cisco 11503 running 7.40.1.03 (standard feature set) that we are setting up as a load balancer for a new e-mail system. I had two previous threads - thanks to Gilles and the others who responded. The box is now more or less configured to do what we want it to do, but I'm curious about "best practice" suggestions for keepalives.
As I understand it, keepalives are per service. As an example, we have two webmail servers. They are only running SSL, so each server is a service with keepalive type ssl. If webmail1 looses its apache or just dies entirely, the keepalive will not respond, and the CSS will send all traffic to webmail2, which still has its keepalives active.
This is all well and good. But, our IMAP servers are running multiple protocols - 7 of them. I have two services configured; one for each server, with no protocol specification. Then I have a content rule for each seperate protocol, where the port #s are configured.
I am thinking that if I want the most out of the CSS, I need to configure a seperate SERVICE for each protocol for the e-mail servers, with a specific keepalive for each individual protocol. That way if SSH goes away, the CSS will close SSH to email1 and only send that traffice to email2, but will still send IMAP or SIMAP to email1, since those protocols didn't go down.
For me this seems like a configuration disaster. I'd need a seperate service for each server and each protocol, and then a separate content rule as well for every service and every protocol.
Is this correct? Or is there some way of streamlining the configuration to reduce the number of services and/or content rules?
Thank you! And let me know if the configuration would be helpful.
Cheers...

The best is to indeed split each protocol and create a separate service and rule for each of them.
2 servers and 7 protocols is not a big config [some customer have 300 servers and 2 or 3 protocols which makes it more problematic to configure].
If you really think this is too much, simply create 1 ip service per server and 1 ip content rule.
You don't monitor the protocols but just ip connectivity.
Easy config, it works but you don't have the granularity to detect specific protocols going down.

Gilles.

Cisco CSS 11503 ntp keepalive script

Have setup a new Owner/Service/Group for loadbalancing NTP traffic to 2 NTP servers. It all appears to work fine apart from failure of one of the servers NTP service. I've currently set up a simple ping keepalive which works fine if one of the servers fail but this keepalive won't detect if the servers NTP service fails. I'm running 8.20 code. My question is has anybody created a working keepalive script for NTP traffic for the CSS?

Hi Daniel,
I had looked at that script but it doesn't suit my needs. The script uses TCP port 37 for its keepalives whereas our NTP servers use UDP port 123.

CSS - Executing a Keepalive Script

Hi,
I am trying to execute the following script, this script is testing connectivity on multiple hosts and TCP ports to define a service as 'up'
#!name = CHECKPORT_STD_SCRIPT
# Scriptname : CheckPortsTask.tcl
# Pamapaters : <list of hosts ip >
# <list of ports >
# [verbose] optional verbose debug flag.
# Description :
# This is an example of standalone script. The script is given a list of hosts
# and a list of posrts for each host. The script then checks to see if the host:port
# is available and listening.
# Example execution:
# script task 1 "10.2.0.12 10.2.0.14 10.5.0.15" " 21 23 80 2048"
proc ck_puts { msg } {
puts "[ info script ] : $msg"
# main
# parse cmd line args and setup ip , port
if { $argc != 2 } {
ck_puts "paramaters: script task <id> [ info script ] <hostList> <portList>"
exit -1
set hostList [ lindex $argv 0 ]
set portList [ lindex $argv 1 ]
ck_puts "================= test start========================="
foreach ip $hostList {
ck_puts "----------------- host $ip-------------------------"
foreach port $portList {
ck_puts "testing $ip:$port"
if { [catch { socket $ip $port } sock ] } {
ck_puts "\t$ip:$port ERR : $sock"
if { [ regexp "connection timed out" $sock ] } {
## erro due to connection timeout, skip to next ip
break;
## other error, don't break, keep test next port for the same ip
} else {
ck_puts "\t$ip:$port OK"
close $sock
ck_puts "================= test end========================="
My issue is that the comments suggest the arguements are put into 2 sections of quotations but the CSS will not allow this input....
CSS11503(config-service[TEST-SERVICE])# keepalive type script checkportstask ?

what you show is a CSM/ACE TCL script.
The CSS uses its own scripting language.

Cannot go to Select Functions to Convert windows for Import Shared library dll

Hi,
As you can see the steps below, i cannot go throgh the Select Function to Convert windows after i click next on Configure Include path steps.
any idea why is this happening?
i am using Labview 8.5 and WinXP OS.

It would help if you provided the DLL and the header file.
Also, I think the third screenshot was intended to be something else, since it's the step where you specify any additional header files to reference, and not the step where you select what functions to import.

Convert from Delicated to shared server

Hi using oracle 9.2 any advise on how i can change the server mode from delicated to shared?
Thanks for any info

There is no such things as 'shared server mode' or 'dedicated server mode'.
You can confiugure your server to accept shared, as well as dedicated, connections. To do that you set up the appropriate initialization parameters to tell the system how many connections you want to allow, how many are to be handed to dispatchers, how many shared server processes you want to support, etc.
It's best to review the concepts manual for the general architecture. Links to the appropraite area ffor 9i and 10g are

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/process.htm#sthref1644
After you have an idea how this works, head over to the Administator's Guide at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96521/manproc.htm#13880 to learn about the parameters and how to set them.

CSS SSL Scripted Keepalive

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to write a custom script to open an ssl socket and then check a url??
Thanks

Scott,
this is not possible.
The scripting language does not have encryption/decryption capabilities.

GSS - Keepalive using TCP/VIP

Hi,
I created content is the CSS for FTP
When i used Keepalive type as ICMP for GSS answer everything is working fine.
when I configured GSS Answer using keepalive VIP/TCP the answer status is offline.
when i do tcp dump on the GSS interface the keepalives are sending from the GSS.
Do i have to do any configuration in CSS to respond to GSS keepalives.

Are you doing KAL-AP ?
Or is it TCP keepalive and the GSS is just opening a TCP port with the CSS VIP ?
Is your content rule alive ? Check with 'show summary'
Did you try it from a client ?
Is there a firewall between GSS and CSS ?
Try to capture a trace on the CSS.
Does the real servers know how to reach the GSS ?
Gilles.

CSS and GSS

As part of high availability configuration we are implementing GSS for site selection for the services behind CSS.
CSS checks service availability by keep alive.
GSS need to function based on the service availability status in CSS. How can this be achieved?
Can somebody please point to a link where I can understand how GSS and CSS interact together for better service availability.
Thanks.

You can either use simple probes on GSS to check the status of the VIPs configured on CSS or use KAL-AP keepalive to take into account LOad along with availabilty of VIPs.
Following link will give you Kal-AP config example

How to convert variables on program to shared variables?

Hi I want the controls and indicators of an already existing programs to be available on the Data Dashboard of a tablet/phone. What are the steps to follow if I want to convert them into shared variables so that I can send them to the dashboard. I just found results on how to create new shared variables.
Also the existing program is a state machine. So will the variables be available on the dashboard simulteneously or is it possible to visualise the controls in the form of multiples tabs on Dashboard, like it is on the original program?

I don't know of any way to convert the controls to shared variables. You're going to have to create the shared variables fresh and wire them up in a way that makes sense for your application.
As for tabs...kind of. Each dashboard can be configured to have different screens and you can move between them. This is probably the guide you want to follow:
