LMS 3.2 (Solaris) db/backup problem

Hi team!

I found directory "manifest" on the old server, it has been installed LMS 3.0 - can I use it? (current version of LMS 3.2)
There are still some methods or need to do to reinstall?

  • Solaris 8 Backup

    Hi , I'm quite new to Solaris 8. Recently I just found out that the NOC never do backup for our servers. Frankly speaking I do not know how to setup a backup configuration and schedule for the backups. Which program does Solaris use to do backups and how do I go about installing the tape driver and program, I'm desperate sirs. If anyone know, please enlighten.

    Configuring the Device Drivers - Solaris 2.x
    Under Solaris 2.x, it is necessary to configure the devices directory using the following steps:
    Shutdown the computer.
    Connect and power-up the DAT-Link with the chosen SCSI ID set on its switch.
    Boot the workstation using the boot -r command. This will reconfigure the machine for all connected devices.
    After the computer has booted the system will have created a new device file for the DAT-Link. If there are no tape devices or other DAT-Links connected to the machine this will be named /dev/rmt/0. If other tape devices also exist, the tape unit number in the above path may be a higher number. These files are actually symbolic links to filenames which identify the SCSI ID of the device. For
    example, if the DAT-Link is connected with SCSI ID 5 and is the only tape device on the system, then /dev/rmt/0 will be a symbolic link to /sbus@f,e0001000/esp@1,200000/st@5,0:. The ``@5'' at the end of this path shows that the device is at SCSI ID 5.
    Create a symbolic link from the above file to /dev/datlink0. For example,
    ln -s /dev/rmt/0 /dev/datlink0
    The DAT-Link should now be ready to use.
    For more information about solaris 8 backup and restore commands, refer this URL: http://docs.sun.com

    Thanks.
    revert back.

  • Backup problem with LMS 3.0 on Solaris

    Hi All,
    I'm encountering problems with LMS 3.0 when I try to do a backup. After you hit OK on the window that says "Do you want to backup now?", an error would pop up saying: "Enter a new directory name or ask the system administrator of the Ciscoworks Common Services server to make the directory accessible to user casuser", thus I cannot proceed with the backup process. When I do backup, my login privilege is admin. Even tried to do backup on the same partition as my CSCOpx directory but to no avail.
    Appreciate your help on this guys. Our LMS 3.0 runs on Solaris platform. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Joe,
    Thanks for your prompt response. By the way, what is a casuser? Is he also one of the user that can be found on the Local User Setup on Common Services? The scenario here is that, I am not the one who installed the Ciscoworks LMS 3.0 on the client side, so I am not aware on how they did the installation procedure for the application. I remember assigning casuser password during installation on our other clients that has LMS 3.0.
    Will the write access on the backup directory for the casuser be done by the Solaris root administrator?
    Thanks for your help.

    I did check the ctm_config.txt file in campus and cmapps directory, removed the ctmregistry and ctmregistry.backup files from /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/webapps/campus/WEB-INF/lib, removed all files and directories below /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/work/Standalone/localhost/ and restarted the services;
    No change...
    What I noticed when looking directly into CMF database is that "CampusOgsGroupCacheTable" is completely empty where as the following tables contain data:
        CampusOgsGroupPropertiesTable
        CampusOGSTagTable
        CampusUserGroupAssociationTable
    What could be the reason for this behaviour?
    I yet thought about the option to export all the groups from CMF (or at least the campus groups) and drop all tables from OGS and re-importing the groups but when I try to do this I get the following error:
    root@lms-server # ./perl ./OGSCli.sh -u admin

    I was wondering about the fact that even CampusOGSServer was running, CTM could not allocate the necessary ports (netstat -a).Because everything seems to be ok I commented out
        DYNAMIC_PORT_ALLOCATION=0
    in ..../campus/WEB-INF/lib/ctm_config.txt
    after stopping and starting CampusOGSServer (pdterm/pdexec) the device selector in UT was up and running again ...
    I did a test with setting
        DYNAMIC_PORT_ALLOCATION=1
    result: UT device selector was broken
    It looks like this line (no matter if set to 0 or 1) seems to break "campus CTM" on this server...
    It is running for now, but there are still 3 issues open and I do not know if they are directly associated
    1)  OGSCli is still not working and finishes with this message:

    3) I found CampusOgsGroupCacheTable in cmf database to be empty on 2 different lms 3.2 installations (both solaris) but I cannot believe that this is ok due to some stored procedures pointing to this table to keep it on sync with CampusOgsGroupPropertiesTable

  • LMS 3.2 (solaris 10); RME 4.3.1 - ArchivePurge Job continuously failing

    currently there are 2134 devices in DCR; the customer originally had problems with UT reports and the error message "ogs_server_urn not found"; During troubleshooting I noticed that there were around 30000 instances in the job history; cleaning up the majority of these entries a problem with ArchivePurge job is left over:
    this job always ends with a status of "Failed" and no files are purged; Around 20 - 30 mins after its start time a /opt/CSCOpx/java_pidxxxx.hprof file is generated but the job will stay in running state for the next 27 hours ... Then it ends with little information in the job log.
    I attached some info which I collected during troubleshooting - and if necessary I also have trussed the PID at the very end before writing to the ResultSummary.obj until the process finishes.
    Also the job was deleted and readded. The information collected is from this new job.
    Does this point to a memory leak or is this just be a problem with the value for the ConfigJobManager.heapsize=512 in
    /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/webapps/rme/WEB-INF/classes/JobManager.properties ??

    finally changing the heap size did not resolved the issue, but investigating this a little further showed why...
    the archive files for around 2100 devices where never purged in the past and due to restore of the databases over a few LMS releases (i.e. years) there where about over 1.2 million files...
    finaly with a wrapper script that purged the archive for the devices one by one for a specific time range the amount of files where dramatically reduced              /opt/CSCOpx/bin/cwcli config delete -u admin -l doing$host.log  -device $host -date 01/01/2000 01/01/2010
    to get a feeling of the work that must be done: ...the script ran for 12 days ... (good, that this installation is running on solaris)
    but now it is solved!

  • LMS 4.1 - Solaris 10 Filedescriptor-Limit reached Tomcat-Process

    Hi all,
    environment: Oracle/Sun HW T5140 with Sol10 u9
    last friday we had a HTTP 500 Error-Message trying to connect to web-interface of LMS 4.1.
    After some troublehooting (/opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/logs/stdout.log) we discovered tomcat-problems unable to open Sockets.

    Seachring thru Sun-Tuning docs I found following kernel-parameters for Filedescriptor tuning
    rlim_fd_cur and rlim_fd_max
    Settings on un-tuned Solaris 10 system
    </proc/5142/fd>#               echo rlim_fd_max/D | mdb -k

    rlim_fd_cur:    256            
    With setting parameter rlim_fd_cur up to 1024 in /etc/systems I tried to tune Tomcat behavior.
    Are there any known but unfortunately not documented Best-Practise kernel-parameter settings for CiscoWorks LMS 4.1
    running on Solaris 10 SPARC-Systems?
    Thanks for any feedback

    I have had this 3 times with LMS 3.2 installed on solaris 9.
    I am wondering if you DCRDevicePoll service is still running correctly? This is the process that checks for device reachability (ICMP and/or SNMP) of the DCR devices. I found that this process is hanging from time to time and assume that it is interfering with some other process (I think IC polling/collection or Config polling/collecion).
    I was unable to get the poll job running again without stop, delete and recreate it.
    Have you observed simmilar issues with the poll job while the "file descriptor" issue was occuring?
    btw. ... I doubt that adjusting these parameter will prevent the problem...

  • LMS 3.2 DFM email notification problem

    Hi,
    I got a problem in a newly installed LMS 3.2 with the DFM email notification.
    I can see the alerts appering on Alerts&Activities, but DFM would not send any emails.
    I can get emails from other moduls of LMS. CS sends me emails from successfully backups.
    The SNMP Server works fine. The settings are ok.
    I already reinstalled DFM.
    I have seen a thread exists on supportforum.cisco.com with the same problem.
    (https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3033101#3033101)
    Maybe anyone have the answer to this problem.
    Thanks,
    C8-Netzwerk

    This looks like an issue I am currently tracking.  I have written a patch which should correct this.  You can get the patch by opening a TAC service request, and having your engineer contact me directly.

  • EPMServer processes don't die after dmgtd stop - LMS 4.2 Solaris

    I am unable to kill EPMServer processes after shutting down LMS 4.2 on Solaris 10. There are still 60 or so EPMServer processes running. Killing them manually does not work as they appear to restart again after killing. Only way to knock them off is to reboot the system. Why does dmgtd stop not kill all LMS processes and is there a patch required for LMS 4.2 or Solaris 10 that would help?
    EPMServer processes attached:
    Thanks.                

    Any luck on resolving this problem? This is happening on multiple servers. Cannot kill EPMServer processes manually or by running .../etc/init.d/dmgtd stop to kill server. Killing processing directly will respawn same processes again. Only recourse is to reboot with these processes active.

    Disk Agent Errors Total ...... 0
    But I have noticed the error is because of this line as below,
    Executing the dbmcli command: `medium_put BACKDP-Data[2]/1 /var/opt/omni/tmp/MAX.BACKDP-Data[2].1 PIPE DATA 0 8'.
    Actually it should execute the dbmcli command as
    medium_put BACKDP-Data[2]/1 /var/opt/omni/tmp/MAX.BACKDP-Data[2].1 PIPE DATA 0 8 NO NO \" \" "BACK"
    But I donu2019t know where to make changes so that when I start the backup through DP GUI it should use backup tool as u201CBACKu201D
    But same DP backup specification is working through MaxDB Database Manager GUI.
    Any solution appreciatedu2026
    Thanks,

    Hi Natalia,
    Thanks for the reply...Please find the answer as below,
    -> What is the version of Data Protector?
    Data Protector 5.5
    -> What is the version of the database?
    SAP MaxDB 7.6
    -> According your information you could use the DBMGUI to create the medium of u201CBACKu201D type and create the databackup using this medium. Correct?
    Yes
    The problems are with Data Protector GUI, not with MAXDB or DBMGUI. Correct?
    Yes
    Please let me know where to make any changes or any enviornment settings to be done in Data Protector GUI so that it will use the medium "BACK" as backup tool while i start the backup through Data Protector GUI.
    Thanks,
    Subba

  • Solaris 8 installation problem on an Intel base PC

    I'm quite new with Solaris. I got stuck in Solaris 8 installation just at almost the very beginning. After booting up the system from floppy and conituing pressing F2 and selecting booting from CD, I got an error message like:
    cannot mount on pci@0; 0/pci-ide@7; 1/ide01/sd@0; 0:a
    panic[cpu0]thread=FEC17440 vfs:mountroot
    then, the system reboots itself again and again every time it reaches this point. I guess it's a problem with my CD-ROM. But the problem persists even if I change CD-ROM or move CD-ROM from secondary master to primary slave, etc. I also tried to change harddisk, but did no good to the problem. Is there any experienced users who could provide me with some solutions?
    I'm using a system with: Pentium 133, 32 MB Ram, 4GB HDD, 3C905TX, ATI Rage II PCI, Matshita CR-587 CD-ROM, Serial mouse and so on. I also tried another system with: P III 450, Asus P3BF, 192MB Ram, Pioneer DVD-ROM, same HDD, and so on. The problem was still there with the latter system. However, I successfully installed Solaris 7 with the latter system before. Why can't it work with Solaris 8?
    Thanks a lot for the help.

    I've been having the exact same problems on a PowerEdge 500SC. I have managed to get Solaris up and running on the machine, however. I booted the DCA from the floppy disk and installed from the CD-ROM. When the DCA is ready to scan for devices I use the "Specific Scan" option to tell it to look for specific devices. I tell it to scan for all devices in the listing and in doing so the DCA finds ISA-based IDE controllers. After it provides a listing of the devices it found I use the "Device Tasks" option and the "View/Edit Devices" menu item then delete the Bus Mastering IDE controller device. Once the screen comes up to ask for a boot device, the drives will show up as on the ISA controllers.
    I have to go through this process every time I boot the machine but I am able to make the system run at least.
    I haven't figured out the ACPI problem, yet.
