Monitoring up/down status of Interfaces with IfType = voiceEncap (103)

EMC Ionix is annunciating lots of down interfaces in our network that reference interfaces with IfTypes = 103. voiceEncap.
What exactly does a down interface mean when the interface iftype == 103 ?
is it normal for these interfaces to be down?
What is the value for Ionix to continuing to monitor these interfaces ?
What is the risk if I don't monitor these interfaces ?

We see this a lot with DFM (which also contains some of EMC's code), and the recommendation is to unmanage these ports as they will typically be down when there are no active calls. When they are unmanaged, the alerts will go away, and no vital information is lost.

Dot11Radio0 Interface in reset/down status

Hi,
I have the next problem.
The interface Dot11radio0 is always in reset / down status.
I can't link both AP.
They both are cisco AIR-AP1252AG-E-K9.
This have been working fine for 18 months, but this week suddenly went down.
I updated yesterday one of the APs to a new version, from the 12.4.10b-JDA3(GD) to the c1250-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA1.tar but the problem was no fixed.
the other AP has 12.4.21a-JY(ED).
I've changes the role of the APs, the one with was root-bridge changed to non root-bridge and the one with was non root-bridge become root bridge.
Doing this, I changed the status of the interfaces, the AP with had interface dot11radio0 up up, become in reset down, and the AP that previously was in reset down, become in up up.
In the show log I see that the problem is:
Dot11Radio0, cannot associate: Authenticating
Interface Dot11Radio0, cannot associate: No Response
I leave the confs here.
Please, help me.

Is it possible for Nexus7000 flexible netflow monitor for interfaces with different vrf and export to one netflow analyzer?

I have a Nexus 7000 with many vlan interfaces with multiple vrf, I would like to know if my netflow analyzer only connected to one vrf, can I use flexible netflow on the Nexus 7000 to monitor those vlan interfaces with multiple vrf and export them to my netflow analyzer, so that I can see all flow from different vrfs on my netflow analyzer?
Thank you!

Adriano, there is a RV042G, which supports the gig ports and a 800 mbps nat throughput. Here is the datasheet
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps10907/ps9923/ps12262/data_sheet_c78-706724.html
If you are using a DSL connection, the SRP527/547 models may be an alternative. These models support the RFC 1483 Bridges EOA Please note the SRP547 should be 10/100/1000. Also note the SRP521/541 are Fast Ethernet units and they do differ from the SRP527/547. The main selling point of these devices are the FXS/FXO ports. So this may also be a bit of an "unfocused" solution. But it's worth throwing the idea out there!

Sales order stuck in interface with line status shipped in transaction form

Hi All
Can anyone tell me the reason for the sales orders getting stuck in the interface with line status Shipped in the shipping transaction form.
I ran the Interface trip stop -SRS and mode All for this delivery Id. I checked the log file of it. The error showing in the log file is ORA-20001; ORA-20120 none of the Registers have Balances greater or equal to the excisable amount -> 350 or education cess amount ->7.
Please tell me the set up where to check the register balances and how to proceed with this order. can we manually update the registers if required to process this order.
Thanks in advance
Prem.

Hi,
HOLD status
This is an EOIO message whose predecessor was not processed successfully yet. The status is retained until all predecessors are delivered successfully. If a predecessor has the "System error" status and is restarted, all successors are also restarted provided that the delivery of the predecessor is successful.
If a predecessor has the "canceled with errors" status, further processing is not possible in systems before Support Package 11 for the adapter framework and Support Package 10 for the adapter framework core patch 02. In higher version systems, the status of predecessors can only be set to "canceled with errors" in a manual way. Successors that have the "Holding" status can be restarted after you have set the "canceled with errors" status (see related note 811864).

Can you help? Two dialer interfaces with IP SLA for default route failover - issues

I have an issue with a Cisco 2821, it has an ADSL2+ HWIC whose ATM interfaces is linked to dialer 1 and a Gi0/1 interface with a pppoe client which is linked to dialer 2. Both dialer interfaces are up with their respective IP addresses. If the ADSL on dialer 1 fails i want the IP SLA to kick and and replace the default route for dialer 1 with one for dialer 2.
This config works if you manually shut down the dialer 1 interface, it injects the default route for dialer 2 and then when you unshut the interface, the default route for dialer 1 comes back. The problem i have is if you take out the cable for the ATM interface and take it down, it does not take the route out the routing table and the default route for dialer2, which works if you just shut down dialer 1 does not appear.
whats the difference between shutting down dialer1 and it fails over the default route and taking the cable out then it does not?
Here is my config, i'm sure its something simple i'm doing wrong, can anyone help???

Sure that EEM can shut/unshut interface...you have "event track" in EEM for monitoring track events...for example:
event manager applet test
event track 1 state down
action 1.0 command "enable"
action 1.1 command "conf t"
action 1.2 command "interfac dialer 1"
action 1.3 command "shut"
action 1.4 syslog "Dialer 1 down!!!"
action 1.5 end
This would be an example from head :)
You would need another EEM similar to this one for unshutting interface with "event track 1 state up" for bringing interface up again.
Again as I said you would need to test this before putting in production and you would maybe need to tweak this a little bit acording to your needs...

SOLMAN monitoring of SAP XI/PI interfaces

Hello! ALL
We have been leveraging SAP XI/PI monitoring capabilities using the Alter Framework: ALRTCATDEF and setting up alert rules in RWB.
However, we would like to start leveraging SOLMAN monitoring features for monitoring SAP XI/PI interfaces.
Please, let us know if anyone has been using SOLMAN for monitoring SAP XI/PI AE & IE interface errors AND how it can be done; so that we can work with Basis in getting this set up in SOLMAN.
Any info - or - documentation and links related to SOLMAN monitoring of SAP XI/PI interfaces would help.
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,

Swift Net MT-103 Interface with SAP

Hello all,
I am having a hard time to understand the concept and reason to use the Swiftnet MT103 (Outgoing Payment).
1)At what point I will consider MT103 solution versus EDI820 (Outgoing Payment)?
2)What will be the considerations I need to take place when I am creating the Functional Design of this interface with SAP?
3)What will be the steps I need to take on the config side?
4)Do I need to setup inbound interface as well for confirmation once I sent the MT103 file?
5)DME will be only solution that produce this format?
6)Please provide me the File structure of MT103?
I would appreciate your prompt response since I need to represent this to the client.
Thanks

Hi
It is a good practice to know the status of payment file rather than waiting for the bank to call. Yes, if need be, you will need to create an inbound interface.
Many things would depend on the method of communcation with banks you choose (i.e. direct connection or value added network), which needs to be secure and encrypted. SWIFTnet is a product that SWIFT offers to allow companies to build a single connection to SWIFT net and connect to thousands of banks around the globe. I am not sure whether this is a valid scenario for your project. Obviously, there is a cost implication attached to it.
If you are using BCM module, you would need to use a format created in Payment media workbench for MT103 and PI to faciliate the file mapping, conversion, encryption and secure transmission to your bank. In this case, you would build an inbound interface for Status/Confirmation from bank into BCM for Batch monitor.
while if you are not using BCM module, you would map IDOC to MT103. in this case, you would build an Inbound Interface to manage the confirmation message from bank. I have worked on this sort of interface development and developed a report output for users to run.
Hope that this helps

Server Monitor Notifications - Drive Status Changed - Time Machine

I'm using an Xserve as a file server for a small workgroup . It has a Raid 1 set which is being backed up via Time Machine to an attached disk array.
Whenever Time Machine runs (every hour), I get two notifications from Server Monitor that the drive status has changed:
*Reason(s) for notification:*
*Drive status changed*
The timestamps on the notifications coincide with these messages in system.log
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 read() failed; socket=0x197060 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 write() failed; socket=0x197060 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 read() failed; socket=0x2090e90 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 write() failed; socket=0x2090e90 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
and:
Feb 2 11:28:55 ciesaxserve2 servermgrd[78]: servermgr_backup: TimeMachinePostBackupHook called.
Feb 2 11:28:55 ciesaxserve2 servermgrd[78]: servermgr_backup: TimeMachinePostBackupHook done.
The notifications simply report that all is normal, and the number of available drives goes from 6, to 7, back to 6. Something to do with making the backup volume available, I presume.
I would like to disable these specific messages. I realize I can disable all messages from server monitor regarding disk statuses, but then I would be turning off messages about failures and actual problems.
Is there a config I can edit which will only alert me to actual problems? I'd like to stop getting 48 emails each day; reduce the noise and increase the signal.

I know this post is old but this has recently cropped up for me. I have been backing up with Time Machine for months without a single alert. It started happening after I replaced the failed battery on my RAID card. A coincidence...however the prolonged down time surely caused an SMC (and perhaps PRAM) reset which I assume triggered the change in behavior.
I've pinned it down to Time Machine backing up service settings, in particular the Open Directory archive. Time Machine backs up all the service data independently from the rest of the data on your server startup volume.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5139
You can see this data in Terminal.
serveradmin$ cd /Volumes/[YourBackupVolume]/Backups.backupdb/[YourServerName]/Latest/[YourBootVolume]/.ServerBackups

-rw-r--r--@ 1 root admin       249 4 Jun 15:32 openDirectory.browse.plist
The ServerBackup_OpenDirectoryMaster.sparseimage contains an archive of your Open Directory database like the one you create from Server Admin. The only difference is that it appears to be unencrypted. This is a bit worrying since Snow Leopard, as far as I know, does not have an option to encrypt your Time Machine backup. This image seems to invisibly mount whenever a Time Machine backup is triggered. This can be verified by checking /private/var/log/system.log and filtering for backup
serveradmin$ tail -b 100 /var/log/system.log | grep backup

Jun 4 16:10:29 yourservername com.apple.backupd[25117]: Backup completed successfully.
You can see at 16:00:56 Server Manager got a call from Time Machine to start the services backup and finished at 16:09:26. Open Directory would have been backed up during that process. Take a look at /private/var/log/hwmond.log
serveradmin$ tail /private/var/log/hwmond.log
Tue Jun 4 16:08:36 BST 2013 - Number of drives change from 4 to 5.
Tue Jun 4 16:08:48 BST 2013 - Number of drives change from 5 to 4.
You'll see that both drive change warnings from Server Monitor occured just before the services backup completed. You can also use the sudo diskarbitrationd -d command along with tail /private/var/log/diskarbitrationd.log in another terminal window, trigger a Time Machine backup manually and watch this disk image mount during the backup process. Compare the mount times with the above logs to see if they all match up.
Although I have discovered the cause (which thankfully seems harmless) I have not discovered a way to stop it from generating pointless alerts. I'll post here if I figure it out. I am in the process of upgrading all of my servers to Mountain Lion so it may be a moot point. I am hopeful this information may help someone out there even though it is thoroughly out of date.

ASA Redundant interfaces with stack switches

Hi All,
we have two ASA 5510 connected in failover, and a pair of cisco 2960s switch connected in stack.
Currently one interface of primary ASA is terminated on switch1 and a interface from standby is connected to switch2 as Inside, and switch1 and switch2 are in stack.
for redundancy purpose i want to use multiple interfaces of ASA for inside , so first i thought to use etherchannel , but it has a limitation that , it cannot be terminated on stack switch(as per cisco document http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa91/configuration/general/interface_start.html ).
So my question is :
1. can we use redundant interface feature where 2 physical interfaces combined to a redundant interface (eg interface redundant 1) for inside redundancy purpose.
2. Can these ports from primary/standby ASA terminated on stack switches (2960s), will this work (if the switch with active port goes down, will the other port take over in the redundant interface with the other switch).
I have attached the nw diagram,
Regards,
Ashraf

Hello Ashraf,
1. can we use redundant interface feature where 2 physical interfaces combined to a redundant interface (eg interface redundant 1) for inside redundancy purpose.
Sure, you can. That's the whole purpose of the feature.
2. Can these ports from primary/standby ASA terminated on stack switches (2960s), will this work (if the switch with active port goes down, will the other port take over in the redundant interface with the other switch).
It would make sense if that happens, as the status of the interface will be on a different state than up/up so failover to the other interface will be triggered,

Julio

Monitor shuts down 10 sec, then on 10 sec - restart needed to continue in Firefox, problem only in Firefox.

Lately I´ve experienced annoying problems when using Firefox - and only when using Firefox - the monitor shuts down for about 10 sec, then on again for about 10 sec, in the meanwhile doing anything on the computer is REAL slow.
After restart everything is normal.

Talked with Go Daddy and it looks like the cause of this is some kind of incompatibility between Safari 8 and their workspace 'securesever' online CLASSIC VIEW. If you click the "UPDATED VIEW" on the top right hand corner, you will get a new view and it should solve the logout due to inactivity error when clicking on the email or sending the email.

Anyone recommend a Mixer/FW interface with L8?

A few months ago I replaced my analogue mixing desk + original MOTU 828 with a MOTU896 Mk3
I cant hear the difference between the MK3 and the original setup ( through powered DynAudio BM5 A monitors).
The 896 is packed with features which I would never use and is counter intuitive, with cheap small fiddly knobs. There is no simple way to get a separate 3 simple independent mixes: i) to head phones ii) to computer for recording and iii) a third mix purely to the monitors.
MOTU UK admit this is not possible without a third piece of gear which involves assigning a separate stereo mix from Logic to the MOTU and then to a separate analogue fader which directly controls the monitor level.
My studio is designed for overdubs and composition, not for mixing/mastering etc and have concluded this mixerless setup was a mistake.
My question is: has anybody used a smallish mixer with fire wire built in that is compatible with/had good results with Logic 8?
So far the M - Audio NRV 10 looks like the answer. It has the added advantage of being able to send 10 outputs from Logic back into the mixer for outboard mixing
thanks in advance for any comments

Hi Musicspirit,
It is all depending on the amount of channels you need. Inputs/Outputs?
I could recommend the TC Electronic Studio Konnekt 48 if 4 mic inputs are enough. It offers you 2 headphone mixes straight from the box trough 2 aux busses. Also this unit has some great features never seen with other units like fantastic effects, that can be used in the low-latency monitor/headphone mix or as a VST plugin! Check it out at http://www.tcelectronic.com/StudioKonnekt48.asp
Anyway, I am still waiting for mine, I just ordered one for the tiny studio I have at home.
Another choice could be the Presonus StudioLive 16.4.2 desk, which is awesome. In need for a live mixer, studio mixer, firewire interface, 16 state of the art class A mic pre's and channel strips, accompanied by loads of compressors, noise gates and effects and all packed in one sturdy 19" box?- this is it. Retail est. $2k, same in Euros. Pound? Very fluctuating lately, not? Well, I am seriously thinking of getting this desk too when it is available and the price is nice. Look here http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=52 There is also a nice blog here http://presonusaudio.blogspot.com
Hope this helps,

CAPA System (CATSWEB) Interface with SAP

Hi Experts
Anybody worked on SAP interface with CATSWEB software (for CAPA system)?
Please guide me to do the same.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bala

Hi JJ,
I may be just re-iterating what has already been said, but for clarity I will put down the points again, since I was also faced with the same confusion regarding how barcode and sap will work.
1. Barcode Scanner has nothing to do with SAP or any software.
   In simple terms, it is just like a keyboard. To demo;
    a) Plug in the barcode scanner in the USB port
    b) Open Notepad in windows
    c) The cursor will be inside the notepad
    d) Now scan the bar code against any barcode image.
          (Suppose the barcode image contains the information XYZABC)
   e) As soon as you scan, the characters   X Y Z A B C (without spaces)
      will AUTOMATICALLY GET TYPED on the screen, inside the notepad, at the place of cursor.
    Hence, the SCANNER just acts as a KEYBOARD.
   and autommatically types in the characters WHEREVER the CURSOR is.
   We can test this using notepad, Excel, word or any where the cursor can appear.
   We can test in any standard sap screen on any text field also, etc.
2. Saving the data in SAP.
    a) First we have to figure out how to save data in SAP,
        considering we are entering data MANUALLY.
   b) This can be a STANDARD Transaction or a Z transaction.
   c) Suppose the field / information is material number,
     then instead of TYPING the material number on the screen, in the field,
    we simply place the cursor on that field.
d) then we simply scan the image (containing information on material n umber) and hooooooray,
    it gets automatically TYPED IN on that field.
    Thats it. Other fields we may have to enter manually and press the SAVE button to save the data.
Scanner just saves TYPING the information manually, and hence reduces time and error both.
Hope this helps.
