LMS 3.2 common services error

Hi all,
I am facing a problem with my LMS 3.2 server. Suddenly I found there is no device reflecing in common services-> device management as well as RME also. I restarted LMS services, server multiple time, reseted casuser, demoted the server from ACS mode to local mode but no luck. However in "dcrcli" i can see all devices and exported all devices to CSV file.
After this I restored from a backup 3 month old when devices were reflecting under common server and RME device management. this also not resolved the problem.
I uninstalled LMS, performed system cleaning and reinstalled LMS 3.2. Then I imported the devices from CSV file i had. Now also the problem not got resolved . I can see devices in dcrcli but none of the device is reflecting under device management of any module.
In Dcmaservice.log i found the error" ERROR,[main],com.cisco.nm.rmeng.config.netshow.server.admin.NSCommandSetManager,getAllCommandSet,8661,Invalid MDF data file:D:/CSCOpx/lib/classpath/com/cisco/nm/cwcs/mdf/mdfdata.xml"
Hence I restored teh mdfdata.xml file from another server. However now i can see the following errors
1) in common service -> software center -> device updae -> device count are 0 for all module
2) no device is reflecting under any module
3) one progress i saw when tring to add any device if selecting device type, it is showing me the list of device type along with OID. before restoring mdfdata.xml it was also not comming.
Please help me to resolve this.

Hi Martin,
Yes you are correct. I did the fresh installation. Imported all devices from the CSV file. However
1) none of these device is showing up in CS>device & credential >device manag
2) Also none of these device are showing up in any other module
3) In Dcrcli i can see al the devices are there
4) for testing I added few device manually. Those are also not showing in any module.
Just to inform all the modules are configured with Auto mode along with manage all devices in Auto Allocation settings under device management.
Thanks & Regards,
Satya

LMS 3.2 Common Services User Defined Groups problem

CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 is installed on Windows 2008 64-bit server.
All devices are added into appropriate User defined group in Groups/Common Services.
All groups are fine except that Members of group named Switch-HO-access have been copied also to group named Router-Branch by system for unknown reasons.
At few files we have noticed errors :
" FATAL com.cisco.nm.xms.ogs.server.OGSServer main Exception while OGS Server start up: CTMRegistry::startRegistryServer() : Can't find/start registry server " and
" com.cisco.nm.xms.ogs.util.OGSException: CTMRegistry::startRegistryServer() : Can't find/start registry server ".
What is the reason for copying this devices and is there some other underlying problem?

it seems that the errors you see correlate with regular stopping/starting of the LMS processes (dmgtd) so this would be a normal behaviour.
Can you provide a screenshot of the problem you describe and also the rule for the group Switch-HO-access and Router-Branch

LMS 4.1 Common Services and RME Question

Hello,
we are using Cisco LMS 4.1 and we going to deploy Cisco Security Manager 4.2 as well. Can CSM and LMS share RME and Common Services?
thanks in advanced
alex

No that is not foreseen, so not supported. Use 2 servers.
What can be done is having the DCR's in sync by having a common service as master and the other as slave.
Cheers,

Apache Tomcat error on common services (Device Update)

I have installed lms 3.2 on server 2008 , and when I click on device update in software center I recieve an error

please some one help me this out .

Hi,
Kindly check if you have CSCtj20850-0.info at location CSCOpx\setup\patch
Try this workaround too as it look like rme map files got corrupted :-
Navigate to -->
CSCOpx/www/classpath/com/cisco/nm/xms/psu/maps
Backup these two files (rme*.map) at another location and finally delete them from this location. You need to stop the daemon manager to be able to delete this files with the command net stop crmdmgtd.
Now, run the following command two command, rememer they are one line command :-
1>
set NMSROOT=%CWMIBDIR%\..\..\..
2>
%NMSROOT%\lib\jre\bin\java -classpath %NMSROOT%\lib\jre\lib;%NMSROOT%\lib\classpath;%NMSROOT%\objects\log4j\1.1.3\log4j.jar;%NMSROOT%\MDC\tomcat\shared\lib\MICE.jar;%NMSROOT%\MDC\tomcat\shared\lib\NATIVE.jar;%NMSROOT%\MDC\tomcat\shared\lib\jdom.jar;%NMSROOT%\www\classpath;%NMSROOT%\lib\classpath\servlet.jar;%NMSROOT%\MDC\tomcat\webapps\cwhp\WEB-INF\classes com.cisco.nm.xms.psu.packagemgmt.map.CreateMaps %NMSROOT%\www\classpath\com\cisco\nm\xms\psu\pkgs\rme
The above workaround should generate the rme*.map files again and then it should work fine.
Now, start the daemon manager and wait for 20 minutes before logging back to CiscoWorks.
Note :- Its important to backup (rme*.map) before deleting them.
Many Thanks,
Gaganjeet Singh

Common Services portal does not appear on the LMS 3.0 homepage

Hi,
I am encountering a problem on Ciscoworks LMS 3.0 wherein the Common Services portal does not appear on the homepage. This was after I tried to upgrade CW to LMS 3.2 but does not seem to work so I revert back to LMS 3.0. I even did a restore of the backup database but still no Common Services on the homepage.
How do i resolve this?
Appreaciate your help. Thanks in advance!

If you're not seeing the Common Services application portlet on the Functional Portal View, then you need to open a TAC service request to get the steps to manually re-register all of the installed applications from the command line.

Url link for download on LMS from Common services

Hello, i would like to reported a major thing that appeared on 3-4 customers.
The download action is not never possible when they try it from the LMS portal/Common Services/Software update.
The url loaded on browser Internet(eg IE 7.0) add the character | on the link when it proceed after the authentication on the CISCO.COM web site.
The worst is that when i did it from my lab's machine,it works fine even the bad entries. We have traced it with a sniffer.
From an IE directly (outside the LMS so), the page is not displayed as she is not matched with W3C recomendations.
A Doctype tag is not a DTD XHTML 1.0 one.
Hereafter , the URL:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Software/WLAN/cwselectfile.cgi?bp=1&&SEARCH=nmim||1.6.0||Software%20Packages|||&FORMAT=XML
On the other side, when a proxy is installed on this machine , it has been refused as well, as the proxy controls that.
Thanks by advance.Richard.

The caracters | are not allowed by the XML validator.
The url link has been finished when he meet this kind caracters.
So it means , that , maybe it has been inserted for stopping the entries, when a bad username has been typed.

LMS 3.0 topology services and email notifications issue

Hi
I have an LMS 3.0 install that was working when I installed it at a customer site a few months back. I went back in to give them an overview of its operation and there are now several issues. Nothing has changed since I installed it because the customer didn't know how to use it.
The issues now are
1. When there is a link failure the mail account that should receive a notifivation gets nothing.
2. In topology services the faled link goes red but when repaired goes to dotted red and never goes back to solid black.
I know the mailing worked previously because I can see previous errors that were fixed being reported about a month back.
Also in DFM all my devices now show as learning under the device discovery page and never move from 10% completed. I found another post that says I need to upgrade to LMS 3.0.1 and DFM 3.0.5
Is it possible this will fix the other issues ?
I have LMS 3.0, DFM 3.0.0, RME 4.1 and CM 5.0
Many thanks, Stephen.

Yes, your versions are plagued by numerous bugs. It is highly recommended you upgrade to LMS 3.0.1, then apply the Campus Manager 5.0.6 and DFM 3.0.5 service packs. LMS 3.0.1 can be downloaded from http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/lms301 , and the various required SPs from Common Services > Software Center > Software Update.

LMS 3.2 Invalid license error.

Hi there
I recently installed LMS3.2 in the setup process it asked me for the *.lic file which I provided. I then installed diffrent updates and patches for LMS. LMS is working int the common services tab. but anything else gives me a error: The license file is invalid. Please click this link for information about obtaining a valid purchase license or click here for current licensing information Otherwise, please contact your Cisco representative for purchasing information.
Can anyone give me a tip on how to fix this error and get all the modules working. The license is a full license for all the add ons.
Regards

you need to have to original license file
go to NMSROOT\etc\licenses and backout all the .lic files;
restart dmgtd (on Windows)
net stop crmdmgtd
net start crmdmgtd
after this procedure you should be able to login and re-install the original license file under
Common Services > Server > Admin > Licensing

SharePoint Foundation 2010: search error: "Your search cannot be completed because of a service error."

Hi,
I have SharePoint Foundation 2010 running on a single server with databases, with a second server in the farm serving as a 2nd app tier. Both server have the exact same versions of SharePoint loaded (according to the Central Admin site).
Whenever I try to run a search from any site in my SharePoint Foundation 2010 installation (in this example I typed "this is my query"), it hangs for 20-30 seconds while the IE status bar says:
Waiting for http://SERVER2010:80/tfs/SITE1/_layouts/searchresults.aspx?k=this%20is%20my%20query&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftfs2010db%2Ftfs%2FSITE1
Then it finally returns a results screen with an error that says: "Your search cannot be completed because of a service error. Try your search again or contact your administrator for more information."
Checking the SharePoint logs under C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS, the relevant entries say the following (items I deem important

Not sure what "resource limit is reached" actually means. This SharePoint installation is running under regular SQL 2008 R2, and the
WSS_Content database is fairly small (10gig). I've reviewed the Search Service, the process account running it, the
WSS_SEARCH index database, and verified that the Content database is using the proper index database. Everything looks like it should be crawling/indexing/working fine. But the WSS_SEARCH
database isn't very large, so I'm not sure if the crawling is actually filling it with anything.
Not sure where to start seriously troubleshooting this. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
The query ran in tens of seconds. This indicates that at some point a bad plan compiled and stayed in the cache.
It may have gotten there because the statistics were out of date.
A possible way to keep this from happening is to rebuild statistics with full scan more frequently.
Try free the proc cache and see the result.

error (which I ran into last weekend) to maybe save one or two among you a couple of hours of your time:
The error is described here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151012 as well as in several other threads in other language boards / in other forums etc. It is usually (as in the linked thread) 'solved' by reinstalling the system - good old Windows magic, also useful when dealing with systemd.
The Problem with this error is that you do not get into your system. Instead, systemd will print you the mentioned "Failed to start Journal Service" error message a couple of million times. There are also no logs that you could retrieve (when booting from a livesystem) and that would give you any helpful hints, since journal is systemd's logging service, old-style system logs are not kept, and the dmesg log doesn't survive the reboot with default settings.
As pointed out in the above mentioned thread, you will see a few more instructive error messages when adding 'emergency' to the kernel line in the bootloader config.
Now there may be plenty of reasons why the systemd journal service might not work. The most common and most annoying, however, appears to be this one:
In this case you will see that the problem actually lies in
systemd[1]: Cannot open /etc/machine-id: No such file or directory
Now, 'man machine-id' reveals that "the /etc/machine-id file contains the unique machine id of the local system that is set during installation. (...) The machine ID is usually generated from a random source (...)". It is obviously perfectly justified to refuse to boot the system because an absolutely insignificant random number is missing. As far as systemd is concerned anyway.
Usually, it seems, the /etc/machine-id is set by /usr/bin/systemd-machine-id-setup during installation or system upgrade. It is not documented anywhere that this is a rather important step and that you should better check if this was or was not actually done before rebooting. Obviously (but for no apparent reasons) systemd fails to run this (or to run this successfully) sometimes.
Also to be recommended: Always retain (back up) your old kernel and initramfs and edit your bootloader config appropriately to be able to boot with your old kernel again ... just to have one or two options left to get back into the system in case of running into an unpleasant surprise from the side of systemd or other packages.
The solution is, obviously, to create this file /etc/machine-id ... You probably want to do that from a livesystem (if you want to try it from the emergency shell, you would need to remount / (i.e. root) as rw and hope that systemd will not punish you for that) by just running the program that was designed for creating this file manually: /usr/bin/systemd-machine-id-setup
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.s … devel/7528 states that it might also work with merely creating the file 'touch /etc/machine-id'. Though I didn't try that since I had enough fun with systemd for one week and didn't want to break my system again just to see if that works.

Generating the machine-id in a consistent way is very important when working with KVM and containers, where the machine-id can be set for the VM or container. See `man systemd-machine-id-setup`.
Again, _don't_ just put some random UUID in there, especially not in the systemd package install script, this makes provisioning Arch Linux containers a PITA.
If you thing that the way that arch is handlynbg the machine-id is wrong or can be improved, then file a bug.
He already did.
Jristz wrote:Anyway, I thing if reinstalling systemd package or if systemd have a command to reinitialize the machine-id file.
Like so many of your posts, I had to read this a half dozen times before it made any sense. I think you're hinting at the utility that ackalker already pointed out in the post you're replying to. And, if you read the install scriptlet, you wouldn't need to think about whether or not reinstalling would be an option. You would know that it isn't.

Problems with adding a new device in Common Services

Hello,
I have the following problem: I need to add a new device in my Cisco Works. What I do is I go to Common Services >> Device and Credentials >> Device Management. There I click "Add" and I add the new device with the corresponding credential set.
Then, in the RME >> Job Management >> RME Jobs I can see a new job created (
CDA:CDA job due to Device Add. ) because of this addition but this jobs stays always in status Running and it never finishes. Most probablt because of that this newly added device never actually appears in the RME so I cannot operate with it - deploy software, save configs, etc.
I did this test a few times and all the times this is the result.
I tought that it might be a firewall issue blocking some protocol needed for the communication, as SNMP, telnet or something else. But if I go to Decice Center and I select this newly added device (which there appears with the question mark icon, not with the right device icon) I can see all the information for it, like Detailed Device Report, etc.
Then I noticed that in the RME Jobs section I have some more jobs that are like running forever - "
CredEditCDA: CDA job due to Credential Edit".
See the attached image for details:
So, my question is what might be the reason for this behaviour and what can I do in order to unblock these jobs and add my device normally?
What I use is:
Windows Server
LMS 3.2
RME 4.3.0
Thank you in advance,
Vesko

OK,
first of all, have you intergrated lms with ACS ? - check in common services - server - security - single-server mgmt - local user policy setup.
If this is in ACS, check if the newly added devices is in ACS... Check if this devices is reflecting in common services itself...make sure that the device type is selected properly ???
Next do a snmp test in device center for this machine..how would you do this --" in device center, select the device, do a management to station and select the snmpv2 and ok it" you will get if snmp is failing or not...As you mentioned it is coming in question mark..this is because the correct device type is not selected in common services.
Do an update inventory & archive and check the status..

Please help

Ravell,
The HTTP requests in the Hello example for your environment is re-entrant, i.e. the wireless runtime makes another HTTP request to service the original request for the Hello example. This is resulting in an HTTP 502 - i.e. the upstream server/proxy encountered an error. From the headers it looks like you're using some caching proxy in between. Could you ensure that the site URL is set up correctly from the EM console? This is most likely a connectivity issue; to confirm, try and access the effective/original URL, i.e. http://rvenkatr-za.za.oracle.com:7778/examples/Hello.jsp from a browser.
Remember, the request flow is: browser -> cache/proxy -> wireless server -> same cache/proxy as before -> wireless server. After this the request flow unwinds; check that there are no connectivity issues at each of these levels.
Regards,
Deepak

Sdo web service errors

Hi,
I try to use a sdo webservice in an other project but this fails. I created a sdo webservice by creating a service interface in a bc4j application module. this works fine I can deploy
it to a oc4j container and test the web service operation findbykey, this works fine.
Now I made in an other model project a new entity based on this sdo service , this goes well. I add the reference to the connection.xml and add the sdo service common jar to this project library.
If I test this with the bc4j tester then it goes wrong because of the selected configuration.
If I make a jsf page on this viewobject then I get this error

I solved the embedded oc4j container error , this was a library loading problem the jax-ws web service had to loaded first.
The other problems remains
