Querry on Location Appliance Server

Hi,
I need a help on the below :
Can we upgrade the Location Appliance to any version which is compatible with both WCS servers (4.2.110) and (5.2.100).If yes then which version would we go for location Appliance.
Please let me know.
Regds,
Lalit

The location appliance software is tied to the version of WCS that is running. The release notes for WCS tell which
version you should be running on the WLA.
For 4.2.110:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/wcs/release/notes/WCS4_2MR3.html
recommended code is: 3.1.42.0
For 5.2.110:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/wcs/release/notes/WCS_RN5_2.html
recommended code is: 5.2.91.0 (for both MSE and LA )
You should also keep in mind that location is tied to a range of code on the controllers and should be checked against the release notes
for location:

Cisco Wireless Location Appliance

dear
i have WCS with 500 ap License
i need to have Cisco Wireless Location Appliance what lisens i need for 500 ap
please explain to me that

Hi Ahmed,
This is the upgrade License SKU for upgrading WCS to WCS Location;
WCS-LOC-UPG-K9
Supports deployment of Cisco WCS on a single server only.
For customers upgrading from their existing Cisco WCS base licenses to equivalent Cisco WCS location licenses running Cisco WCS Software Release 4.1 or later.
Available as Cisco WCS location in increments of 50, 100, or 500 lightweight access points.
Customers currently using this license with Cisco WCS Software Release 4.0 are encouraged to upgrade to Cisco WCS Software Release 4.1, but they are not required to do so.
Order the Correct Cisco WCS SKUs
The process to order Cisco WCS SKUs for WCS-STANDARD-K9, WCS-LOC-UPG-K9, WCS-WLSE-UPG-K9 and WCS-ENT-K9 is presented below. To request help with ordering, please contact Cisco Customer Service: http://www.cisco.com/go/customerservice.
1. Login to the Cisco Ordering Tool.

Location Appliance Help required

Hello,
I have a WCS,WLC and LOC deployed. The integration betwen the WLC and WCS is working perfectly. We didn't put a lot of access points in the deployment because we didn't need acurate location tracking but at least we need some.
The problem is the location appliance is not able to pull any information about the connected clients. No clients shows on the map eventhough the APs report connected clients.
One issue I had is when I try to synchronize the network design with the location appliance I get the below error:
"Element found and will be pulled to WCS".
I appreciate any help with issue as it is quite urgent,
Regards,

Hello Sabhasin,
The message I was receiving above was due to time difference between the location appliance and WLC. Now all systems are using an NTP server and in sych.
As for the location on the map I was able to point the problem to the following:
If you delete the location from the WCS and add it again and then go to the MAP you can see the clients and the rogue stuff within a two minutes time range. When the two minutes pass you no more able to see the last two minutes info from the location.
If you choose the past 5 minutes then you see the information on the map. When 3 more minutes pass you no more see anything for the last 5 minutes data.
If you choose 15 minutes after 10 minutes pass you no more see anything on the map.
If you delete the location appliance and add it again you will be able to see the information again starting with two minutes and again same pattern.
Therefore, the issue is that the info is pulled from the location once you add it and after that nothing is pulled.
I tried synchronizing all the servers and no luck,
I appreciate your response,
Regards,

Location Appliance not detecting elements after upgrade

Hi
Our loacation appliance had version 2.1.42.0. After upgrading it to version 3.1.36 there are no clients been discovered.
I must admit we don't have read-write access to the WLAN Controller 4400, and read somehwere that ntp plays a big role from AppLoc ver 3.0 upwards in this. The WCS , Location Appliance and the WLC is syncing to the same NTP server.
Some errors I have noticed:
5/15/08 00:12:38 ERROR[locp] [13] Error in ConnectHandler(endPoint) <LocpSessionTarget mode=CLIENT><LocpEndPoint status=HANDSHAKE t

The WCS is Version 5.0.56.2 , Type: Base + Location; Licensed APs: 1000.
I have reverted back to the old version and its working fine now. And we have only a few hours of change control to get this upgrade right.
Any ideas? Much appreciated.

Have you verified that the times are all correct on the devices?
I had an AP issue with time+certificates and even though all my controllers were set to sync to the same ntp server, the times were off. I manually set the times and that fixed it.

Location Appliance

Location 2700 - 3.1.42.0
WCS - 4.2.81.0
WLC - 4402 - 5.1.151.0
I recently added a 2nd controller into my wireless infrastructure and I cant seem to get the location device to locate clients. It works no problem with the 1st controller.
The time on the devices is good, they sync with no problem...just wont locate any clients in WCS with AP's connected to my new controller. I get the error There are no clients on this floor. Either you don't have any location server which locates clients or none of your location servers detected any clients on this floor error message is reported on the Wirless Control System (WCS)
I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

You are using incompatible version. Considering your controller version is 5.1.51.0, you should have the following versions on your WCS and the location appliance.
WCS - 5.1.64.0
Location - 5.1.30.0
Please upgrade to these versions and if you still cannot locate clients, we can troubleshoot further.

Wireless Location Appliance

Hi,
We have a central WCS server. One of our remote offices has purchased the 2710 wireless location appliance and 2 WLC's
Where is the best place to situate the appliance? In the remote site with the WLCs or centrally with WCS?
In addition we have purchased WCS licenses with "location" for all our other AP's. So we would like to utilise their 2710 for other WLAN's at other remote sites. (However, they (the remote site) should be the primary beneficiary). Does this affect the location of the appliance?
Appreciate your help,
Andy

I really don't think it matters where the location appliance is. However, since it is WCS that is sending the information to the Location Appliance for processing, it would probably be more logical for the location appliance to be located with the WCS server. I'm sure from a bandwidth perspective, the best option is to keep the two devices in close proximity.
I can't really think of a situation where you would even need to "prioritize" the benefits of the location appliance. Expect from an installation perspective, focusing more on the remote site before adding the others systems.

Location Appliance ...Getting started...

After the initial setup..I can ping the appliance but cannot access it through http or https. Even tried port 8001. WCS also cannot add the appliance. What else has to be done?

I have come across the same issue myself however, I can go through the configuration process no problem. I have 3 Cisco 2710 Location Appliances all running version 3.0 code. I got one to work no problem. I configured it, it reset, then I could connect it with WCS. Beautiful. However, the other two WILL NOT work for the life of me.
Basically, I get through the installation process and they reboot. I get back to the CLI after it reboots and log in. From there I do a "getserverinfo" and get the following message:
[root@LocationApp-Area4 root]# getserverinfo
com.aes.client.AesClientException: Request to server failed, reason: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: Message send failed

at com.zerog.lax.LAX.launch(DashoA8113)
at com.zerog.lax.LAX.main(DashoA8113)
Ok, great, i know this means that the Location Appliance is NOT running for whatever reason. So (and I have been looking at the configuration documents posted online) I tried the following command to start the location:
[root@LocationApp-Area3 root]# /etc/init.d/locserverd start
Starting locserverd: [ OK ]
[root@LocationApp-Area3 root]#
Ok, so it appears as if everything should be ok so I do another getserverinfo and get the same message again.
What do we need to do to get this running and what other trouble shooting methods are there so we can get this working?

Location Appliance shows no clients

Hi
Our Location Server has recenlty been upgraded and we can't see any clients:
WCS ver = 5.2.110.0
WLCs versions are: 5.0.148.0 (WiSMs), 5.2.193.0 (4400) and 6.0.188.0
AppLoc was 3.0.42.0, but is upgraded to ver: 4.0.33.0.
They're all synced to NTP.

Hi Pvanvuuren:
You've got some good clues there.
8/11/10 12:01:34 ERROR[locp] [21] The LOCP session target is not responding:
If you know 10.217.95.250 is a wireless LAN controller, why not take a look at the controller to see why it doesn't open the door when the Location Appliance comes knocking?
debug nmsp connection enable
debug nmsp error enable
debug pm pki enable
That will show what's going on from the controller's perspective. That last debug will confirm whether or not the certificate the Location Appliance presents to the controller is any good.
Sincerely,

Location appliance tracking limit??

Hello,
One question that I haven't found an answer for yet!
When the location appliance reaches the maximum number of tracking devices of 2500 what happens next???
It stops collecting information for new devices?
It deletes information for older devices hence allowing tracking of new devices?
Stops working all together??
It ??????
Thanks for any clarification.
Jorge.

Hi Jorge,
I am not sure if this would answer your query, but this is what I managed to find -
The location appliance can track up to 2,500 elements. You can track the following elements: client stations, active asset tags and rogue clients and access points.Updates on the locations of elements being tracked are provided to the location server from the Cisco wireless LAN controller.
Only those elements designated for tracking by the controller are viewable in Cisco WCS maps, queries and reports. No events and alarms are collected for non-tracked elements and they are not used in calculating the 2,500 element limit.
You can modify the following tracking parameters using Cisco WCS:
â¢Enable and disable which element locations (client stations, active asset tags; and rogue clients and access points) you actively track
â¢Set limits on how many of a specific element you want to track
You can set limits on how many of a specific element you wish to track. For example, given a limit of 2,500 trackable units, you could set a limit to track only 1,500 client stations. Once the tracking limit is met, the number of elements not being tracked is summarized on the Tracking Parameters page.
â¢Disable tracking and reporting of ad hoc rogue clients and access points
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/location/2700/4.0/configuration/guide/lacg_ch4.html#wp998931
A major alert appears on the Advanced Parameter window if the tracked elements limit of 2,500 for the location server is reached.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/location/2700/4.0/configuration/guide/lacg_ch8.html#wp999251
In addition to this I found a resolved issue in release 3.0.37.0 -
CSCse76683-Previous to this release, once the 2,500 limit of supported elements for the location appliance was met, no new location calculations were reported for any element beyond the 2,500 limit. Location calculations were reported once an element within the recognized 2,500 elements aged out. This condition occurred even when polling was turned "off."
Symptom:
The location calculation is not happenning for some of the elements. There are ERROR events saying 'Location limit hit, can not add any more location elements'. Even if the polling is turned OFF for the type of element that are too many, the location is not calculated for new elements.
-> Sushil

Location appliance down

WCS is reporting that it cannot communicate with my location appliance. I can ping the appliance, I rebooted while connected via the console and did not notice any errors upon bootup. Is there anything that can be done via WCS to initiate this connection? Is there anything on the location device itself? Wanted to check here before placing call to TAC.

While the WLA may be pingable, the locserv process may not be running.
You can always check this by using the 'getserverinfo' command. If you get Java output then the process isn't running or has problems.
You can check with ps -ax | grep locserv. If you see nothing, it isn't started. You can restart the process with /etc/init.d/locserverd start.
If this doesn't work, there may be some errors in the database. In this case, we may need to delete the database. Before doing this, you may want to grab the logs (/opt/locserver/logs) and open a TAC case.
ps -ax | grep locserv (kill anything that remains- "kill -9 ")
cd /opt/locserver/db/linux
rm -f server-eng.db
-go to cd /opt/locserver/installers
-Uninstall the current version
-Install again
/etc/init.d/locserverd start
/opt/locserver/bin/getserverinfo

Location Appliance software on vmware?

Is there any way to run Location Appliance (2710) software on a virtual machine with a trial license for testing and/or educational purposes?

Not unless the location sw is available under special file access from CCO.
Otherwise you will have to get the location appliance (cisco colored ibm server running redhat ES 4+location server)
I haven't toyed with it that much, but it would not be too hard to build a redhat vm and try to pull over the location sw from a location appliance; whether it works or not is another question! But that would require that you purchase the location appliance.

WLAN Controller and Location appliance graceful shutdown?

Does anyone know if there is a supported graceful shutdown method/command for the
4400 series WLAN Controller and 2700 Location Appliances?
This weekend our server room will be undergoing maintenance and will experience a total power outage for a 4 hour period. It is our intent to manually bring all equipment down (hopefully in a graceful manner) and then back up once the maintenance is completed. As a result does anyone know if special precaution is needed to shutdown these 2 appliances, or can we simply bring down these devices hard which is the case with most other Cisco equipment?
Thanks in advance

Hi Mark,
Channel 1, 6, and 11 are just about as non-overlapping as 1, 7, and 13. There's an insignificant amount of overlap, so it's just as plausible of a solution, even in Europe. I honestly don't know why you wouldn't use the extra channels to eliminate the minor overlap - every bit helps.
The "channel blanket" or "virtual cell" WLAN design philosophy is rapidly spreading. Cisco maintains that it's a standards violation and I've heard no talk of them purchasing the not-to-be-named company or of them adopting the same design philosophy. I sincerely hope that they do one of the two soon, however, because it's very good design that's difficult for Cisco to compete against.

Data Refresh Error: We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.

Hello,
Recently I have developed a PowerBI Report using Excel Workbook with external data source. It refreshes successfully for some days and then starts throwing error on every scheduled refresh as "We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data

The workaround solution is to restart the application server which has SQL Server Power Pivot Services Installed which will again work for some more days and again start throwing error.
So, I am looking for permanent fix for it.

Hi Marcel,
Based on my research, it seems that you have Microsoft SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for SharePoint 2013 add-in installed on a computer. When you perform a data refresh operation on some PowerPivot workbooks in Microsoft SharePoint 2013, you receive two error
message.
As to the first error, this issue occurs because the Custom Properties on the Excel workbook are not correctly cleared before you set a new serialized schedule. This causes an extra custom property to remain after you set the new schedule. Therefore, the
new schedule fails. To fix this issue, please
install Cumulative Update 9 for SQL Server 2012 SP1.
As to the second error, please
running a repair using PowerPivot configuration wizard for SharePoint 2013. For more information about Troubleshooting PowerPivot Data Refresh, please see:
