Fan Errors on MCS-7825-I2

I have a new Unity server (MCS-7825-I2) that I began to load Unity on when I encountered a hardware error on the server. I pulled the cover and all the fan error LEDs are lit... Fan 1-5. I found this odd that all would fail. Is tehre a reset of these somewhere? Or do I just go ahead and order service?

The Cisco MCS 7825-I2 provides a system error LED and system locator LED on the front of the server to make pinpointing system problems easier than ever. When a system error occurs, this indication is made on the front panel of the Cisco MCS 7825-I2. If no failures have occurred, the system error LED is not lit.

Lock-ups on MCS-7825 after after OS Upgrade to 2000.4.4aSR6

About 3 weeks ago, I upgraded some MCS-7825 & MCS-7835 servers to 2000.4.4aSR6. Since then, one of the 7825's has been rebooting on its own almost twice a day. The other 7825 and 7835s are operating fine.
Anybody else encountering a problem with this? I see in the release notes, some BIOS and firmware updates are included for the 7825, and am suspecting this is the problem.

My problems actually turned out to be hardware, I think. I reviewed the logs and found out it had been happening for several months.

"itunes has experienced an error and needs to close"

while trying to import my c.d. collection to itunes, i quite often get the message "itunes has experienced an error and needs to close. do you want to send the error to microsoft?" it usually takes me about 20 minutes to import 1 c.d. to itunes becuase i have to keep re-opening itunes after it closes. i never lose anything i have already imported. sometimes i will get through 5 songs before i get the error message, sometimes i cant get through a single song. whats the deal here??

What if you try importings CDs to your computer (not to iTunes) Is this normally working? If yes the problem is in ITunes and if no the problem is maybe your CD player. If the problem is in iTunes you should try to download the latest version from the Apple pages and then update/reinstall.

Cisco MCS 7825-H3 Powers On, But Nothing More

I have a pair of Cisco MCS 7825-H3 CallManagers, and due to repeated power issues on our campus today, both went down ungracefully went power was lost...and stayed down. So we have no functioning phones on site.
At this point, both MCS 7825-H3's will power on. The hard drives lights flash, then go out (like normal).e The fans spin up fast and loud. But I get nothing else. On the front of the device, the system health LED is solid green, the network LED flashes green with activity, and the hard drive activity LED is solid green. A connected VGA monitor displays nothing.
I am at a standstill...and am not sure if this is a hardware problem, a software problem, or another problem altogether. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you,
Steve

Steve - if the servers are showing blank screen on monitor connected to console, it appears they are not even initialising the POST process. It could be due to a faulty component - could be CPU, RAM, motherboard..anything....
Generally with this kind of issues, you try to isolate faulty hardware, by rebooting without any component and see if it reaches POST. I would suggest open a case with TAC and I hope the servers have active maintenance.
On another note try changing the monitor cable etc. to rule out any issue with any cable or monitor (which i doubt would be the case) just to make sure and then try a reboot and see if you see anything on screen.

Verify physical hard disk drive health MCS 7825-H3 that installed CUCM inside it

Hi Everyone,
I have Cisco MCS 7825-3 that installed CUCM ver 6.1.1 inside it. A few days ago the system was crashed and have been recovered. And the symtomp why the system crashed is because corrupted hard disk drive. Now the system is running well.
I want to verify the health status of hard disk drive MCS 7825. The logical drive is RAID 1 with 2 chunks (channel 0,1 and channel 0,2). So that i did the test to shut down the cucm and unmount on of the physical hard disk drive. After that i power on the server and running the system with just 1 hard disk drive (example just channel 0,1 and after verify channel i do the same task with channel 0,2). With just 1 hard disk drive if i show hardware in cucm cli , it showed that status of logical drive is degraded. But the system can run well (IP Phone registered and can do pbx features). And after do verify test with 1 hard disk drive, i mount the physical hard disk drive again so that the system running with all of hard disk drive mounted (2 chunks).
At first it showed in cucm cli that status of logical drive is degraded, but with current operation rebuild (indicated RAID 1 is rebuild again by the system). After up to 1 hour the process finished and the status of logical drive is optimal again.
The question i wanna ask, is there any method to know if the health of physical hard disk drive of MCS good or not beside the task i have done ?
Maybe we can show in the BIOS or cucm cli because i didnt find diagnose of physical drive in cucm cli but it can diagnose status of RAID, hard disk space and list file in hard disk drive.
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards,
Luthfi

Hi Luthfi,
Do you find a way to check the hard drives and RAID of this CUCM server. I have also 7825-H3
Or it is as I think that I need to create remote access configuration ?
Thanks

MCS-7825-I4 Platform Disc Won't Use RAID1

We have an MCS-7825-I4 server which we are installing Unity 7.0 onto.
We have setup the 2 disks as RAID 1 in the BIOS and then boot from the correct Cisco Platform DVD. The Cisco setup then resets the RAID to 2 separate disks instead of RAID 1 and installs the Windows 2003 OS on the first disk only (with 2 partitions) and leaves the 2nd disk unused.
We then try and set the disks back to RAID1 (mirror) using the installed MegaRAID software that Cisco preinstalls, but it says that it cannot add a disk with an existing boot partition into a RAID array so this isn't possible.
We then try to set it again in the RAID settings on reboot via Ctrl-C but when trying to copy the contents of the first drive to the second, it says there is insufficient space on the 1st disk to do this and that it will have to erase the disk first in order to re-create the array.
This obviously leaves us once again with a blank server and when booting from the Cisco CD to install it resets the RAID back to 2 separate disks and we go in an endless circle!
Please can someone help us to get this server setup using the Cisco Platform disk in a RAID1 (mirror) configuration?
We do also have a retail Windows 2003 CD, so we can install using this instead of the platform disk if necessary, but I'm uncertain if the Cisco Windows key will work with this, can anyone confirm? Also this disk doesn't have the RAID drivers so does anyone know which drivers I'd need to download to do it this way? Obviously uaing the proper Cisco platform disk is our preference if possible...
Thanks!

The platfor disc can be goofy to say the least.
Here is what i do.
I yank out all the drives except for the first 2 drives. then I boot with the platform disc.
It will then automatically setup the RAID1 correctly. You should not need to go into the bios utility to set it up. If you do, the platform will simply reset it anyways. The disc has (from what I have seen) has a problem if you have more than 2 drives in the machine.
After the Platform is done and in windows (and done rebooting x times) I then go ahead and use the GUI utility to setup the other (2) discs as RAID1 and test the mirror after its built.
Once all the MIrrors are tested and working, I then start my Unity install

MCS-7825 field notice

I am about to install CCM on MCS-7825-H2-IPC server and received following field notice:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/sw/voicesw/ps842/products_field_notice09186a00806de501.shtml
from reading it, it appears that the 2000.4.3a OS resolves the NIC issues, but not the SATA RAID issue, where a manual process is identified.
What is the suggested OS version for that server, using CCM 4.2.
Chris

Chris,
Check this doc. 7825-H2 only supports 2000.4.3a for new installs.

Itunes has experienced an error ....

hello,
so i've had this problem before of trying to upgrade itunes and then the dumb thing doesnt work. last time it took at least 2 weeks to figure it out i hope this one is shorter. i downloaded 6.0 and the quicktime works perfectly but itunes does not. when i try to open it i get the "itunes has experienced an error..." message and it won't open. i try to end the process in the task manager but the process will not end. maybe someone can help me out.
thanks
meghan

You will have to configure Norton to see it as an allowable program. I really hate Norton, sorry. I quit using it awhile ago.
Turn NIS 2005’s Personal Firewall OFF, (turn it OFF Permanently until your ready to turn it back on) then click CONFIGURE. ( Might be a good idea to disconnect from the Internet at this stage)
Under the PROGRAMS tab remove any reference to Apple iTunes or iTunes or iTunes Helper Module or anything related. and reboot.
After coming back go back to NIS 2005’s Personal Firewall, click CONFIGURE. Under the PROGRAMS tab click ADD at the bottom, a SELECT A PROGRAM window will pop up. Add the following files one at a time, iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, QuickTimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe, QTInfo.exe. The last 3 are found in your Quicktime folder where that is in your system. Click OK. Turn NIS 2005’s Personal Firewall ON, and try starting iTunes again.
It seems the Quicktime files were never automatically entered into NIS 2005’s Personal Firewall allowable programs listing. Adding them manually should help. I also noticed that from my previous version of iTunes the program listed in the Firewall was named Apple iTunes and not iTunes after I upgraded to 6.

Trying to install OS on mcs-7825-h2 for unity

Hi, I'm trying to install w2k os on an mcs-7825-h2 but the smartstart cd (7.40) doesn't have the sata raid drivers.
As these servers don't have floppy disks has any one got any info on how to do this?
Rgds Andy

do you have the cisco hardwareDetection CD for the version you are attempting to install? if so, use this to boot and prep your 7825.
if not, download the latest smartStart CD (ISO file) from the following location:

The server has experienced an error on startup.

Has anyone seen this error before?
The server has experienced an error on startup. This problem must be fixed before using the system.
I am not sure what caused it but I first saw it after restarting the server and now when I go to http://localhost/portal/server.pt that message appears.
Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks.

I've seen this one when the connection to the database is failing for some reason. To see what is happening, restart IIS (or java server) to clear the cache, start PTSpy and then try to hit the page again. You should see all the startup messages and any errors.
Hope this helps,
Adam

Workaround for OCR "Unknown Error"/"Paper Capture recognition service experienced an error"

Problem Description:
When attempting to "Recognize Text", one of the following error messages appears:
"Unknown Error." when using one of the "Searchable Image" or "Searchable Image (Exact)" settings, or
"Unable to process the page because the Paper Capture recognition service experienced an error. (6)" when using the "ClearScan" setting.
Problem Origin:
It seems to be a compatibility issue in the PDF and not in the OCR algorithm itself, although this is speculation and not an official statement.
Problem Workaround:
A possible solution consists of saving the afflicted PDF pages as PNG images (lossless), opening the PNGs in Acrobat, and then performing OCR. Specifically,
Page Thumbnails -> Right-click afflicted pages -> Extract Pages...
File -> Open extracted pages
File -> Save as -> Image -> PNG
Right-click PNG files -> Convert to Adobe PDF
Tools -> Recognize Text -> In This File
File -> Open original PDF
Page Thumbnails -> Right-click afflicted pages -> Replace Pages...
This has worked for every problem instance that I've come across, and there appears to be no quality loss. If anyone else can verify this solution, I would appreciate it.

Attempt to run Acrobat 9.5.3 OCR on MacBook Pro under Snow Leopard generates the error message:
   Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) because:
   Unable to process the page because the Paper Capture recognition service experienced and error. (17)
   Ignore future errors in this document.
Login as Administrator, launch Acrobat, open one page PDF document without OCR, ..., OCR successful, close document, note additional warning message:
   Suit Product Activation Needed
   Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Adobe Acrobat, please start another component of this suite (such as Adobe Photoshop).
Switch back to user account, quit and relaunch Acrobat and OCR works fine.
Looking back at my records I see that I ran into the same error on 11/11/11 probably under Acrobat 9.4.6, but I didn't record the fix.

Clearscan OCR ERROR: Paper Capture recognition service experienced and error (6)

I get the following error when I try to run a Clearscan OCR over my PDF:
"Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) because:
Unable to process the page because the Paper Capture recognition service experienced an error. (6)"
The problem seems like it might be resolved with a PDF made from 300dpi scans, but I do not like the quality loss so I would rather run this on the 600dpi scans. I wish I could get more information on this "error" that the Paper Capture recognition service experienced. Any ideas?

Ok I think I might have a workaround *IF* this error is only thrown on a few offending pages. If you have only one page, OR if it is essential that all pages then this will probably not be a workaround for you.
*FYI* this workaround also applies to the stupid "Unknown Error" that occurs in non-Clearscanned OCR. ("Unknown Error" -- Ha, this is the type of error handling I use when I don't care about anyone using my programs, sounds like Adobe feels the same way).
Since Acrobat spits out such a stupid error, and since it doesn't work in any other scan mode (non-clearscan in any DPI) for these pages, and since there is no log file to look at for the 'paper capture recognition service' to even diagnose the problem, and since they seem completely ok with their absoutely horrible error handling here and since Adobe seems incapable of fixing this error for the last few versions and since they don't care enough to offer any help in their KB regarding an issue affecting hundreds (maybe a few thousand) of users here is a POSSIBLE workaround to clearscan your document if you get this error:
(The following instructions are for Acrobat X (you might have to click 'show and hide pannels' at the top-right of the TOOLS BOX if some of these options are not available; 9 has the same bug and workaround but where you find things are different of course)
1) Scan your pages OR save your pdf as INDIVIDUAL PAGES (there must be a way to export your pdf into individual pages, you might need to use the batch manager (tools->action wizard on Acrobat X))
2) Tools->Action Wizard->Save individual files as pdf: If you don't have individual pdf pages (you have jpegs or tiff) then convert them to PDF FIRST (yes that's right, despite the seemingly obvious thought that a batch Clearscan would actually *gasp* batch Clearscan your files, it won't, it will only convert them to PDFs
3) Tools->Recognize Text->In Multiple Files: Now select to clearscan all your individual files
4) You will get an error on offending pages where Clearscan would normally give you an 'error 6' BUT this method will get around the moronic error-THEN-exit design of Clearscan and allow you to actually Clearscan most of your document
5) Create->Combine Files into Single PDF: Once all pages have been Clearscanned you can reassemble the individual pages to the full document
If you needed that particular page to be clearscanned, this method will not work for you. If you just want 99% of your document to be clearscanned, then hopefully this will help.
We have to admit that Clearscan is a one-of-a-kind technology. The OCR scientists should be given a raise for this. The software engineers and support staff, on the other hand, should go back to the community college they flunked out of and learn a bit more about programming.

Paper capture recognition service experienced an error. (17)

I am using Adobe 9 Pro Extended and it is fine until a few days earlier the OCR stopped working. It will say something like Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) because:
Unable to process the page because the paper capture recognition service experienced an error. (17)
I tried repairing and already updating to the newest update. Document scanned in 300dpi always worked until now.
Any expert knows what is error 17? Thanks.
