LMS 4.2 Fault Monitor - Device Name and Frequency of Events

Hi all,
I've just installed LMS 4.2, like it a lot so far. But I'm running into a few problems, and I'm hoping someone out here has a suggestion.
In the Fault Monitor, the Device Name column shows the device's IP address rather than the host name. We need for it to show the host name, for ease of troubleshooting; most folks don't have the IP addresses memorized. Likewise, when an email is sent out for an event, the managed device field also shows up as the device's IP address.
The devices were all discovered with their IP addresses rather than a host name...should LMS have automatically found their host names? Regardless, I manually updated all of the device's host names, yet they still display as an IP address in the fault monitor.
Also, it appears I need to figure out some way to throttle alerts. One particular device will report an event (ie a temperature out of range) dozens of times in a polling period...several per second, even though it's the same alert. Any suggestions on where I can throttle this? My inbox is exploding.
If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it!
Jen

I am having the IP vs. device name issue as well. The funny thing is if you hover over the IP of the device in Fault Monitor, you can see the device name listed. I was on a conference call with Cisco recently and pointed this out. One of the reps said the faults and alerts showing IP address issue should be fixed in version 4.2.3, but I don't know if he was basing this on first-hand knowledge or was just assuming. Does anyone know if this is the case?
As for throttling alerts. I had a false positive alert from a device that I put in a custom fault group and changed the threshold on to keep them from firing. You probably have already resolved this issue, but I didn't see a resolution listed here. You would have to determine if raising a threshold for a device is adequate for your situation.
Thank you,
Mark

LMS 4.0: Fault Monitoring Device Administration stuck in learning

Hello Members,
i have a problem with Fault Monitoring Device Administration. i have two devices which stuck in learning mode for almost forever. When the job is done the devices report an error SNMP timeout. I run a credential verfication job and the credentials for the devices are correct.
any ideas?
regards
alex

Assuming these are the only four devices using SNMPv3 in LMS, then the engineID is a non-issue. However, if any other device has the same engineID as those two non-working devices, the problem could still be a duped engineID. Debugging with logs is fairly complex. The easiest way to identify the problem is to use a sniffer. Start a sniffer trace filtering on all traffic to one of the failing devices. Then, rediscover the device in Fault Monitoring under Admin > Collection Settings > Fault > Fault Monitoring Device Administration. When it goes to a Questioned state, look at the sniffer trace.
If you see SNMP report packets indicating an error of notInWindow, that points to the duplicate engineID problem. ICMP packets without responses points to problems with ping.

No Device Name and Port in UserTracking Report for Ipphones

Hello,
I'm having problems with Usertracking to IpPhones. The report provides information of usertracking IPPhone number, CCM Address, MAC, etc.. But the information in "Device Name" and "Port" (which would be connected) do not appear.
The CCM normally appear in Topology Services, and reports Usertracking EndHosts to operate normally, even in the same switches that the phones are connected.
Thanks

What version of Campus Manager are you running ?
What version of the Call Manager do you have ?
What kind of IP Phone is this ?
Post screenshot of the problem re-run data collection and UT . Ensure that you don't have any filters in place and all subnets are included.
Do an snmpwalk from the CiscoWorks LMS server to the Cisco Call Manager and see if you can poll those values from the cli and let us know the results using the "ccmPhoneTable" ?
Get the ut.log and ani.log with neccesary debugs enabled for phones.

IPhoto won't recognize my iPhone 3Gs. just says there's an apple iPhone, instead of the device name, and says there are no files to download, but there are 62 items on my phone... what's going on?

iPhoto won't recognize my iPhone 3Gs. just says there's an "apple iPhone" instead of the device name, and says there are no files to download, but there are 62 items on my phone... what's going on? as far as I can tell I have everything up to date and it's always worked in the past.

Have you already confirmed your Mac as a trusted device? Try this:
Lauch iTunes.
Connect the Phone/iPad
When it asks you to trust it, say yes.
Now try again to import.

Cisco Works LMS 4.0 - Fault Monitor Issue

Hi!,
I have a little problem with the LMS application. when I try to access to the screen of: Monitor --> Monitoring Tools --> Fault Monitor, the application shows an error message that only said: "Sorry an error occurred" and thats all.
Any idea of what can I try in order to solve this?,
Thanks,

Hi Duong!, thanks for your reply. The services was restarted but the problem still exist (the process DFMCTMStartup is allways down although I started manually)
And the only change that I see is that the Fault Monitor Screen show first a message "There are no faults available" but I Have marked 46 Faults!"

Linking PCI device names and drivers

Hi Everyone,
I have a PCI device with a class code of "ethernet" so the name
created in the device tree is eg:
"/pci@1f,0/pci@1/ethernet@3"
I can run add_drv and attach my driver to this just fine.
But what if I had another PCI ethernet card from a different
vendor but still with a class code of "ethernet"? How would I
get one driver associated with one device and a second driver
the other? I've run add_drv with -i 'pciXXXX,X' but the
name in the device tree is still "ethernet" and therefore this
is what shows up in /etc/path_to_inst?
My attach routine will check the vendor id and device id of
the device and will fail the attach call for the "wrong"
device. If I then add_drv the second driver for the second
card, I see entries in /etc/path_to_inst with two drivers for each
"ethernet" device. Will this cause problems in the long run?
Thanks!
Janice

Hi
First of all the IEEE 1275 PCI Bus Binding ( which can be found at
http://playground.sun.com) clearly states that "ethernet" is one
of the "Generic Names" listed in this manual. See portion of this
document below.
a) In collections of OS drivers, avoid the use of generic names for
the drivers themselves. For example, it is generally unwise to name a
driver ethernet, since there are many different ethernet adapters with
different programming models. Using the generic name ethernet to
identify only one such driver is presumptuous.
You may go through one of these dicsussions to get more info on setting
the "compatible property" through the driver.conf file.
You may already be familiar with most of it,but it clarifies how
a Sun system differentiates between the onboard hme card and the
add on SunSwift card. Although they both use the same driver, you
can create different driver.conf files when the drivers are different
and use the compatible property field to identify the proper driver.
To Configure Driver Parameters With PCI-bus Based Systems
1.Obtain the hardware path name for the device in the device tree.
Typically this path name and the associated instance number will be
present in the /etc/path_to_inst file. For example, on a Sun Ultra 30
UPA/PCI system in which one SunSwift-PCI card is plugged in, the
/etc/path_to_inst file will have the following two entries (in
addition to entries for other devices):
"/pci@1f,4000/network@1,1" 0 "hme"
"/pci@1f,4000/pci@4/SUNW,hme@0,1" 1 "hme"
The first entry corresponds to the hme device on the motherboard.
The second entry corresponds to the hme device on the SunSwift-PCI
card.
In the previous lines:
The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node
name in the device tree.
The second number is the instance number.
The last part in double quotes is the driver name.
In the device path name, the last component after the last / character
and before the @ character is the device name.
The path name before the last component is the parent name.
The comma-separated numbers after the @ character at the end
represent the device and function numbers, which are together referred
to as unit-address.
To identify a PCI device unambiguously in the hme.conf file, use the
name, parent name, and the unit-address for the device. Refer to the
pci(4) man page for more information about the PCI device specs.
In the first line of the previous example:
Name = network
Parent = /pci@1f,4000
Unit-address = 1,1
In the second line in the previous example:
Name = SUNW,hme
Parent = /pci@1f,4000/pci@4
Unit-address = 0,1
2.Set the ipg1 and ipg2 parameters for the above two devices in the
/kernel/drv/hme.conf file:
name = "SUNW,hme" parent = "/pci@1f,4000" unit-address = "1,1" ipg1=10
ipg2=5;
name = "SUNW,hme" parent = "/pci@1f,4000/pci@4" unit-address = "0,1"
ipg1=20 ipg2=10;
Note that for the motherboard device, the SUNW,hme device is used even
though the path name uses the name network. The SUNW,hme device name
is the value of the compatible property for this device.

How to map zfs iostat device name and sar -d device name ?

Hi,
In order to measure the disk performances or bottlenecks, we need to map the disk devices name from zpool iostat -v and the sar -d output ?
Is there a way to map the 2 device names ?
Rgds

"/usr/bin/iostat -xpnCXMmz [interval] [count]" would be much easier to use, quicker, and requires no further work on your part.
Otherwise you'll have to convert the MPXIO device back to the underlying physical devices and from that to their equivalent sd device, then lookup those devices in your sar output. It's doable, but not quick or easy to do:
1) Identify the devices
# luxadm probe
2) For each Node WWN listed in "luxadm probe" run:
# luxadm display WWN
3) Grep the WWN in /etc/path_to_inst to get the ssd number
Example:
--- luxadm probe ---

AEBS, device name, and Time Machine backups, question

Will changing the device name of my AEBS (what shows up, for example, in a Finder window sidebar, affect time machine backups that live on a an AirDisk? I just want to make sure, before I make any changes, that my computers won't 'lose' the existing backups if I do change the device name.

I'm afraid to try it, but that is what I am not clear about. The Drive name isn't changing, just the AEBS device name. The big question is does TM just care about the drive name, or does it also care about the AEBS device name. If you are right, than I am out of luck. But would love someone to definitely confirm.

DAQmx - merging device name and channel names ?

Hi all,
There is probably a extremly simple solution to this, but I didn't manage to find it !
I use LabView 2009 and 2010.
I'd like to concatenate the strings "Dev4" (device chosen by the user in the GUI) and e.g. "PFI0" to get a string that I could connect directly to a DAQmx vi.
Is it possible to do that ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
JB

Hi,
I'm back again with this problem.
Concatenating strings works fine for strings like "Dev3/ai0" for example, like this:
but when I try to do the same kind of thing for a ai trigger source (in my case "/Dev3/PFI1"), it doesn't work. Here is how I try to do it:
When I put a probe on the wire at the far right of the screen capture above, I get what I want, ie "/Dev3/PF1", but no trigger are received and there is no error message. Everything works fine when I simply use a constant like this:
I don't really understand why it doesn't work. Any clue ?
Thanks for your help !!

Imported pictures list in events as card name and not creating events by date

Trying to import my photos off a canon card into iPhoto. I clicked the card named 100Canon in my finder after selecting import in iPhoto. Instead of creating an event for each date, as there are about 10 days of photos on this card, iPhoto created one event called 100CANON and dropped every photo into that event. When I go into the file on iPhoto and select a picture, it shows the date the photo was taken.
Why did it not create an event for each day? I dumped my iPhone photos in and it separated each day as an event.
Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

What have you selected in the iPhoto preferences for items imported from the Finder?
What version of iPhoto do you have?

Cisco Prime LMS Device Names

In Prime LMS 4.2, has anyone seen this issue/bug before?
I've added in all devices indicating their Device Names and Hostnames. However in the Monitor section and only High Severity Faults part, the Device Name is actually showing IP addresses.
In the Syslog report that sent via email, Device Name fields are showing IP addresses as well. Other sections or portlets are totally fine.
Thanks.

Hi Bin,
Check the below link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_device_fault_manager/3.2/user/guide/useDevMg.html#wp1367517
Workaround to get the HOSTNAME in DFM is :
1> Added the Device Name and IP on the DNS Server or /etc/HOSTS file
2> Modified NMSROOT/objects/smarts/conf/discovery/discovery.conf, and changed the DisplayNameFormat from "AUTOASSIGNED" to "MIBIISYSNAME".
That caused DFM to display the sysName as the display name.
Also set the NameFormat to TM_USEAUTONAME, then restarted daemon Manager (net stop crmdmgtd && net start crmdmgtd )
3> Delete and re-add a device in DFM
============
Open name-resolver.conf file and make same changes that we have made in discovery.conf. ie, the following entry should be there in this file also.
#NameFormat = "TM_USESEEDNAME"
NameFormat = "TM_USEAUTONAME"
Thanks-

Cannot suppress unidentified trap in LMS Fault Monitor

Hello,
We have Ciscoworks LMS upgraded from version 4.0.1 to Cisco Prime 4.1.
DFM is displaying in "Fault Monitor", "Device Fault Summary Tab" an entry which says "Unidentified Trap". In the lower pane titled "Fault for unidentified trap" we have no event to own or clear, so we cannot suppress this line from DFM.
Any fix available ?
Best regards
C.Barbu

There have been known issues with Fault Monitoring Alerts caused by steal entries in EPM database. To fix this, please run the below commands on your server's command prompt (this will delete all the data from the EPM database):
+ Stop daemon manager :
net stop crmdmgtd
+ Re-initialize EPM db as below :
NMSROOT\bin\perl.exe NMSROOT\bin\dbRestoreOrig.pl dsn=dfmEpm dmprefix=EPM
example:
C:\progra1\CSCOpx\bin\perl.exe C:\progra1\CSCOpx\bin\dbRestoreOrig.pl dsn=dfmEpm dmprefix=EPM
+ Start daemon manager:
net start crmdmgtd

How can I create a new name and itunes acct

I want to give my old 2nd generation ipod nano to my son. Can I create a new device name and itunes for the ipod?

Yes. I would suggest creating a separate user account for him on your PC to use to store his own separate iTunes library. See Method 1 from this Apple support document for more information and assistance.
How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
When he connects the iPod to this new iTunes library he'll need to Erase and Sync (or restore) the iPod allowing him to set it up as his own iPod and everything just as if you had just taken it out of the box.

Device Name Sporadically Changing ZENworks Agent Properties

I'm having a problem with a few Dell Windows 7 machines using ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) 10.3.4 client.
The problem is the device name, in the ZENworks Adaptive Agent Properties, is sporadically changing and reassigning with other device names and sharing the device name with another computer.
All the machines have been built from a single image, using R-Drive Image software, with the ZCM client already built-in to the image.
In attempt to resolve the problem, I've uninstalled the ZCM client, CASA as well as deleting the device name from the Zenworks Control Center (ZCC).
Re-installed the ZCM client and again received a different device name of a different workstation.
I've already tried using Zenworks AgentCleanup tool to remove the ZCM client and deleted the device name from the ZCC, but it did not resolve the problem.
I can only assume the problem lies within the image compiled with the ZCM client. How do I stop this from continually happening and make the ZCM report the correct device name and if possible, without having to create a new image?
