ONS 15454 Config Backup

Does cisco have a tool to automate the database backup process for the ONS 15454?

CTM - Cisco Transport Manager. It's Cisco's enterprise management tool for the optical products. It does a lot more than just backup the dbs - and has an accordingly non-trivial cost.
See the info on the products and services pages at http://cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/opticsw/ps2204/index.html. The product data sheet (http://cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps5730/ps2204/data_sheet_c78-518130.html) is a good start.
Also see info under the support page at http://cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/opticsw/ps2204/tsd_products_support_series_home.html

Error in ONS 15454 NE backup

Hi ,
I'm working on a GNE and subtending NE setup with ONS 15454.When i run the COPY-RFILE TL1 command parallely through a script, I'm getting the following error from the NE.
/* ERROR - -5000 - FTP Error */
Any pointers on the root cause of this error would be helpful.
Thanks,
Muthaiah

Hi.
I see, you have ONS 15454 Multishelf Node.
Do you see in CTC Substending Shelf w/o problem ?
Do you try reset Control Cards on the Node Controlleand Substending Shelf ?
Cisco use FTP for data transmission beetwen NC and SS.
Do you see same error, when download SW via CTC ?
What Control Cards ans version SW do you use ?
and what version SW you download to the NE ?
Best regards,
Sergey Suharev

ONS 15454 and AC/DC Converter for 220V

I am looking for a AC/DC converter for a ONS15454 for a 220V input.
The ONS 15454 datasheet indicate input current 22A maximum.
The Cisco AC/DC Power Solution datasheet indicate for ONS 15454 a medium solution.
And the same datasheet indicate the small solution is up to 32A for 220V.
Then, can I use the small configuration for ONS at 220V?
Anyone know that? Can you help me with that?
Graciela

What is the hardware configuration of your 15454 including chassis, fan and by slot?
Using the hardware config, you can calcualte the expected amperage.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/optical/ps2006/products_tech_note09186a0080094ae4.shtml
The general power requirement of 22A provides for any possible configuration. Actual configurations may be less. I have some 454s using as little as 9A in the lab.

ISE Config Backup Failure - Data filesystem full above threshold

Hi,
Both the config and operational backups were working until earlier last month. Now the config backup is failing with the following error. No configuration or repository settings were changed.
ISE 1.2.0.899 Patch 8 - Clustered with persona Node 1 = PAN, SMN, PSN .... Node 2 = SAN, PMN, PSN
CLI history says the same:
The local repository (disk:/) is looking good. The "/" filesystem is taking 77% space.
Although it may not be relevant. Data Purging is set to 30 days in the GUI and Operations -> Reports -> Data Purging Audit indicates its running daily with success i.e. threshold_space = 80GB, used_space = 3GB.
Is there a way to clean "/" filesystem ? It is filling up by roughly 1% every 5 days ? Note: the same on Node 2 is only 24% full.
Any ideas on how to get the config backup issue resolved ?
P.S. If images don't appear inline, please see the attachment
Thanks,
Rick.

Hi JK,
Thanks for response. Yes, I am worried that it may not be enough. How about if I increase memory to 32GB, ie. I have two servers, both with 32GB? Will it be sufficient in case of one physical server fail for 8GB data?
What is the point in having the 3rd physical box if two boxes have enough memory/capacity? You know, we need to pay licence according to no of CPU.
thanks,
HenryHi Henry,
actually the recommended minimum number of physical boxes is 4 so that the witness protocol participants can all be on separate machines.
But a minimum of 3 is highly recommended for a number of reasons related to partitioning:
1. If you have only 2, then you are much more vulnerable to split brain scenarios (should for some reason the two servers not be able to communicate with each other, it is harder to decide which half should be the winner). In short how do you decide which box is unable to communicate with the rest of the cluster if there are only 2 boxes?
2. You can't ensure a balanced and also machine safe partition distribution if you have a mismatching number of nodes on only 2 boxes. It would either be balanced or machine safe, but you can't get both at the same time. And you will either have mismatching number of nodes at startup or have mismatching number of nodes after one node failure.
Best regards,
Robert

Upgrade ONS 15454 M12 TCC2P from 9.4.03 to 10.0.11

Hello,
quick question.
I have in my lab one M12 subrack with only-one TCC2P card and I try to prepare software upgrade in customer network.
I read all procedures at: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/optical/15000r/upgrade/guide/b-454a10-0-1-upgrade.html
My troubles started at point where I can select node where the software must be downloaded. The window is empty.
Target version is "ons15454.DWDM.Lite.K9.R10011.pkg".
Any idea?
Thanks
kvapa

Hi Emyrsonn,
I hope this ONS 15454 upgrade tool can help you answering all your questions
http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/optical/15000r/upgrade/guide/ons-upgrade.html
It seems like you should be able to directly upgrade from 9.1.x to 9.2.2.
Please let me know if you have any comments on that.
Hope it helps!

LMS 4.2 and Shadow Dir/Config Backups

Hi all,
Back with more LMS questions. We have 4.2 running (two separate instances - we have more than one network) and I have a config collection job set up. Upon initial discovery, configs were pulled from all devices into the Shadow director as expected. However, since initial discovery, the Shadow directory has not been updated despite the fact that it is set up to pull config backups daily from all devices.
Under the Archival Summary, it does show that all devices were successful or partially successful (the partials are where VLAN collection failed...I'm unsure why it is even trying given I disabled VLAN collection). So it appears to be working, yet the configurations have not changed in the Shadow directory.
Any ideas why this may be happening? Does it only update the Shadow dir if the device config actually changed since last scheduled job? None of the configs HAVE changed since I discovered them.
We use SNMPv3 and SSH as access methods for LMS.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
Jen

You answered it... The shadow directory only contains the current config and only changes when updated.
Thanks.

ONS 15454 error message

Hi Expert,
I have a problem with ONS 15454 error message. My CTM server detected MINOR error message "Peer to Peer Slot Communication Failure". Affected object is SLOT-1 which is OPT_BST. The alarm ID is 200551. What caused this error appear and any workaround to solve this problem?. Your kind attention is much appreciated.

Although the following alarm is not identical to the one you identified, this seems to indicate the a peer "communication failure" is hardware related.
2.5.237 PEER-NORESPONSE
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: EQPT
The switch agent raises a Peer Card Not Responding alarm if either traffic card in a protection group does not receive a response to the peer status request message. PEER-NORESPONSE is a software failure and occurs at the task level, as opposed to a communication failure, which is a hardware failure between peer cards.
Hope this helps....

ONS 15454 design question

I have an ONS 15454 with 2 OC192 circuits that terminate into it. One goes to a downstream ONS and another to the upstream.
I need to extend the existing ring to 2 more ONS devices, but I am not sure if it is going to work the way I want it to.
Right now, each VTS24 circuit on the OC192 is associated with a POS interface on the ML1000 cards. So POS1 goes upstream, POS0 downstream (unprotected). The ML1000 is int turn trunked to a 3750 L3 switch that has the bridge groups and layer 3 addressing assigned. This is Ring0
I need to extend this ring, so obviously I will need 2 additional OC192 cards, but do these new circuits need to be associated with new POS interfaces? In other words, will I need 2 additional ML1000 cards, and if so, how would I trunk to the switch? Am I going to get into some loopy topology here?
I am new to this system, so any advice would be great.

Hi Colin,
so you want to add two more ONS devices in an existing ring.
if you can provide a topology it will be helpful,
if you just want to add two more ONS in existing ring, it will no cause any issues,
we just have to take care of circuits and need to build them from TL1 in these new nodes.
but please send topology to get an clear view.

Cisco ONS 15454 SDH

Hi,
i have 3 sites connecting together with SDH 15454 site A-B with STM-1 and from site B-C STM-16,i want to Aggregated hand-off E1's from Site A-C so site B will be trasparet site for this link.
to be source of link on site A and Drop on site C.
any help to achive this.
there is already cricte between site B-C.

You will need to verify that the cross-connect card in the ONS 15454 (sites B & C) have VC-12 grooming capabilities (XC-VXL and CX-VXC will support VC-12 grooming).
The ONS is designed to groom lower rate signals to higher rate speed lines. Thus, you should be able to aggregate the E1s from the ISPs STM1 with the E1s from Site B and drop them at Site C.
You will need to add an STM1 card(s) to Site B. Your ISP will need to provide the mapping structure of the STM1, so you can understand where the VC-12s, which contain the E1s, are located in the payload. You will then create circuits to map each E1 (the incoming VC-12s within VC3/VC4) from you ISPs STM1 at Site B, to the appropriate VC-12 on the outgoing STM16 line heading toward Site C. At Site C, you will need to map the VC-12s on the STM16 line to the appropriate port on an E1 line card.
I hope this helps. Otherwise, you will need to have someone locally assist you in the explanation.

ONS 15454 shows up as "unknown" after power outage

We had a power outage that took down a ONS 15454 in a remote facility. Upon restoring power and powering-up the unit, it shows up in CTC as grey with "Uknown2" as the name.
I had someone reseat the TCC card, but it still comes up as unknown.
Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions (the device is hours from me)

Try and restart CTC session and clear CTC cache
Can you ping the node
Check to see if the node is in the OSPF routing table
Can you access via CTC locally
Is your CTC terminal directly connected or does it go via a firewall
Probably resolved now how did you resolve it?

IDS/IPS config Backup through IDM

Hi,
Can we take config backup through IDM, as I regularly upgrade OS & signautures and need to take backup of our config. But in IDM I could not find any option. AS I solely want to use IDM for all purposes.
Currenlty I need to do ssh,take backup and then upgrade thru IDM.

Thanks for your reply! I should then request Cisco developers to give such usefule facility as then we can solely use IDM for all purposes. Its painful to log thru ssh take backup and then upgrade using IDM. or use only ss to do everything then what for IDM is?

ONS 15454 Craft interface to a Cisco 2511 Terminal Server

Does anybody have pinout of wiring ONS 15454 craft interface to a Cisco 2511 terminal server? I tried many combinations but nothing seem to work.
2511 has octal cable with RJ-45 connector. I used an rj-45 coupler to connect a wire wrapped RJ-45 cable to craft interface.

ONS 15454 problem turning up OC12

Board.
I am trying to turn up an OC12 (non-concatenated) that is muxed from a OC48. The OC48 terminates on an ONS 15454 on both sides. From there we run SM fiber to Cisco 12000 series onto an SM OC12/SMT4 Line card on both sides too.
My settings for the ONS are as follows:
Type=STS
Size 12C
Dir = 2way
We see on one Cisco UP/DOWN, and on other Cisco Down/Down
Does any on this forum have any tips at all?

Which OC12 LC do you have on the 12000?
CHOC12/STS3-IR-SC
4OC12E/POS-IR-S
4OC12X/POS-I-SC-B
etc

ONS 15454 Version 8 Experience?

I'd like to know the experiences of anyone who has upgraded to SW version 8.0 on ONS 15454 SONET nodes. I'm trying to decide whether to use the tried-and-true 7.2.2 load or go for 8.0, which doesn't have any maintenance revs out yet. I have to do something to get off version 4.6.1 and 5.0.5 soon.
Thanks,
Dave

most that I log into are on 7.2.2. We have one of the largest 15454 networks in the US
