SMD agents goes offline in agent administration

Hi,
In my landscape all the SMD agents are directly registered to Solman SPS27.
Each time my solman is restarted, all teh agents in agent administration goes offline. but in actual its runing at OS lvl.
After we take seperate Java stack restart of solman, agents come online in agent admin. This scenario is confusing
Any idea as to how can we overcome this issue ?
Regards,
Shyam

Thanks Guilherme for this very good clearification!
I have a simular problem at the moment and can confirm that the agent connection get disabled because they are not able to authentificate. I will try to implement the workaround with the telnet command to bring the agents in MM... This should help to solve the issue.
Anyway what I don´t understand is that not all agents get disconnected!
For example:
SMDsystem.log of Agent which is offline:

So you see that the secound agents waits the 40 minutes and start the authentication process after than.
Both agents are 7.11 and application version 7.01.7.3.20110311130810.
Any idea about that?

Agent going to not ready after call hangup, Siebel CRM Connector, reason code 50002

Hi Everyone,
We have Contact Center Enterprise UCCE 8.5.2 with CTOS integrated Siebel CRM 8.1.1 using
Cisco Unified CRM connector
On daily basis we are receiving about 100 incidents that Agents goes to not ready after
talking to customer. and the reporting gives the reason code 50002.
As per Cisco its because of CTI server Failure/Agent desktop closed/network Problem. But
In real there is no network issue, Agent not closing the Agent desktop. Also if this is
the case agent should be logged out but in pratical its stays logged in but moved to
not-ready state(Reason 50002)
It could be miss communication between UCCE and Siebal CRM connector.
One more thing its not happening with one customer only it happening in many deployment on
Version 8. Especially the one integrated with Siebel.
If anyone face the same issue please share the experience and the solution if found any!
Regards,
Atif Tanveer

Atif,
If memory serves me right, CTI events are controlled and communicated by Siebel connector. So when your users close Siebel or any other CTI controlling connector this will be same as closing CTIOS or CAD without proper logoff. This will keep the phone out of synch and keep the user automatically into not ready to prevent any callers going to this device.
Simple answer you have to train users and make sure they close Close applications properly.
Thanks,
Baseer.

Oracle 10g Agent goes down itself

I have been observing the Oracle 10g agent goes down by itself and in grid control it reports as Agent unreachable. where do I see the log why Agent is going down on target everytime.

I guess the location is D:\oracle\agent10g\sysman\log
However, I do not see any information why th agent went down ..

Java agent goes unresponsive on solaris 8

Hi all,
Sorry that I am posting here.But this bug has been on me for two weeks.
I have an agent on Solaris. It goes unresponsive after a JNI call. I mean I use JNI in that class, which makes a callback to the Java program.The whole agent goes down when I create a java object in the callback method.This is happenning on some solaris 8 machines.I do see it as patch issue.Couls any one suggest a patch regardig this?
The problem where my agent goes unresponsive is explained below...
I get a sigsegv in realloc. The line of the code that I use contains a call to create a new object like
MyClass a = new MyClass().
The pstack trace is shown as below

Cisco Agents goes to Not ready state

Hi,
I have use IPCC ver:4.0(5) SR01ES09_Build095.
We have encountered that our cisco agents automatically change state and it will goes from log-in state to Not ready state.
what was the solution where i have to check the logs.
regards
Salman

Hi Salman-ahmad,
This could be the way you have your agents or CSQ configured, you can configure IPCC to have them to automatically goto Not ready or stay in ready. Have you check your system parameter's?
Under RMCM Subsystem, click the resource link on the left hand side,
there is a "automatically Available" radio box you need to select.
Otherwise you maybe hitting this bug.... Are these your symptom's?
CSCsf11662 Bug Details
Agent goes to Not Ready after making Outbound call from Ready state
Symptom:
Agent makes outbound call from ICD extension (to a non-ICD extension), when
the agent finishes the call, they go into Not Ready state when they expect
to be returned to Ready state.
Conditions:
- Cisco Customer Response Solutions (CRS) 4.0(3)
- Agent makes outbound call from ICd extension whilst in Work state (after just finishing an incoming ICD call).
- Agent places the outbound call on Hold at some stage during the call.
Workaround:
If the above scenario occurs, Agent needs to manually change to Ready state.
HTH, Please rate if so
Regards,
Justin

CCX - In CAD software agent goes into Reserved status.

I have CCX 7.0 & CCM 7.1.
In CAD software agent goes into Reserved status when a call hit to the agent & the agent is not able to take the call as all icons are greyed out. And this is happening to few agents only while for other agents its working fine.
Can anyone suggets a solution.
Rgds,
Kiran Savalsang.

Or more accurately - ensure that the CSS that is assigned to the CTI ports includes the partition in which the agent DNs are configured.
They don't all need to be the same CSS, OR the same Partition.

Cluster Disk keeps going offline. Service or application failed

We currently have 2 servers, both housing 3 VMs (6 nodes total). 2 Disk are used to house these VM's. Cluster Disk 1 keeps going offline, which kicks 2 of our servers offline until we migrate the disk to another node (puts it into redirected
mode). We then have to restart the server to re-establish to connection to the cluster disk. Digging around in event viewer, I saw the following:
Cluster resource 'Cluster Disk 2' in clustered service or application 'b0a21897-e59b-46c9-a495-273dc5ad2aea' failed.
Cluster physical disk resource 'Cluster Disk 2' cannot be brought online because the associated disk could not be found. The expected signature of the disk was '{92eb716c-6878-42ad-b7de-f3879d72e232}'. If the disk was replaced or restored, in
the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in, you can use the Repair function (in the properties sheet for the disk) to repair the new or restored disk. If the disk will not be replaced, delete the associated disk resource.
The Cluster service failed to bring clustered service or application 'b0a21897-e59b-46c9-a495-273dc5ad2aea' completely online or offline. One or more resources may be in a failed state. This may impact the availability of the clustered service
or application.
I ran the cluster validation test and all seemed to check out except for Cluster Disk 1 and the two servers associated with this server, as shown below:
Validating cluster resource Cluster Disk 2.
This resource is marked with a state of 'Offline'. The functionality that this resource provides is not available while it is in the offline state. The resource may be put in this state by an administrator or program. It may also be a newly created
resource which has not been put in the online state or the resource may be dependent on a resource that is not online. Resources can be brought online by choosing the 'Bring this resource online' action in Failover Cluster Manager.
This resource is marked with a state of 'Failed' instead of 'Online'. This failed state indicates that the resource had a problem either coming online or had a failure while it was online. The event logs and cluster logs may have information
that is helpful in identifying the cause of the failure.
All disks are housed on our SAN. Any idea where I can start troubleshooting further? Changing the signature of the disk or finding out which application is failing? All help is greatly appreciated.

Please, help is greatly appreciated. I have been trying to find a solution for almost a week. I have a feeling this has to do with the disk. We have 3 CSV's but the only ones in question are CSV 2 & 3. Cluster Disk 2 is the disk that
keeps going offline. Cluster Disk 3 has no problems at all. They both are GPT volumes, however, after running a "cluster res", I received the following output:
Listing private properties for 'Cluster Disk 2':
T Resource Name Value
D Cluster Disk 2 DiskIdType 1 (0x1)
D Cluster Disk 2 DiskSignature 0 (0x0)
S Cluster Disk 2 DiskIdGuid {92eb716c-6878-42ad-b7de-f3879d72e232}
===============================================================
Listing private properties for 'Cluster Disk 3':
T Resource Name Value
D Cluster Disk 3 DiskIdType 1 (0x1)
D Cluster Disk 3 DiskSignature 994692308 (0x3b49ccd4)
S Cluster Disk 3 DiskIdGuid {4f27bc43-6964-466e-a77d-2321b2b0b718}
=============================================================
As shown, cluster disk 1 has a disk signature but NOT a diskID. Cluster disk 2 as a DiskID but NOT a signature. It may be beneficial to add that cluster disk 3 used to be an MBR disk. Not sure if that makes any difference given the output
above...Performing DISKPART on the same disks shows the following (Don't mind the naming scheme, I know it can be a bit confusing)
Disk 1 (Cluster Disk 2):
HP P2000G3 FC/iSCSI Multi-Path Disk Device
Disk ID: {92EB716C-6878-42AD-B7DE-F3879D72E232}
Disk 3 (Cluster Disk 3):
HP P2000G3 FC/iSCSI Multi-Path Disk Device
Disk ID: {4F27BC43-6964-466E-A77D-2321B2B0B718}
================================================================
Comparing the two, it selects the correct DiskID that was taken from "cluster res" command.
The error in my initial post states a signature was expected. If I am not mistaken, in win2008 it uses "DiskSignature". The lack of this signature being populated for Cluster Disk 2 was resulting in the resources failing to come online. So
how can i go about fixing this signature issue. Again, all help is appreciated since I am fairly new to all of this.

User Agent (DC 5.3, Agent 2.2)

Having problems with the user agent/AD integration. I have installed the user agent on a Windows 2008 box, it seems to be communicating with the DC servers fine. When going from the agent to the DC is where it seems the problem is. I added the IP on the DC, added the DC on the agent...get nothing. I can telnet to port 3306 on the DC from the user agent machine fine and get the Got packets out of order message like is said in the troubleshooting guide.
Any suggestions? I turned on debugging and logging on the agent and there are no errors listed and it says start DC chk, end DC chk...

Hi ,
Not sure if this helps but there is a known bug with v2.2.18 of the UA software which doesn't populate events unless the Date format is set to US Locale on the Domain Controller. I've seen it where events aren't logged at all, or events are generated but only on the first 12 days of the month (I assume theres an issue with the logic on the parser for the logs, once you hit the 13th it bugs out - UK Locale anyway, depends on your date format)
Info here:
If you use the dd/mm/yyyy date format on your Microsoft Active Directory (AD) server, the system sets the Active Directory server status to pending and fails to generate events. As a workaround, use the mm/dd/yyyy format on your AD server. (137315)
Other common issues are as you have correctly stated. Ensure the relevant Windows EventIDs for logon/logoff events are generated in the Windows security event logs.
Also if the agent and DC/FSM are seperated by a NAT device, you need 2 entries in the User Agents section on the DC/FSM. One for the Pre-NAT address and one for the Post-NAT Address.
Thanks,

HP LaserJet 600 M602 printer goes offline every night

Hi,
I have a HP LaserJet 600 M602 CE991A printer on a wired network. I have quite a few other printers on the network as well and do not show me this kind of behavior.
But for some reason, this printer, from as soon as I bought it, goes offline every time from around 5.20-5.30pm to around 8.30pm. I have a ping tester running as I am trying to figure out what's going on and I got 100% drop every night for that time period.
I looked to see if there was a setting that puts this device to sleep or so but no, I cant find anything. I have tried with the energy setting sleep mode on or off, wake up events to trigger a wake up call to the printer but no luck.
Firmware Bundle Version3.2.5
Firmware Revision2302908_435019
Firmware Date Code20140529
I am out of options, in our other locations, we have sam printer but a CE993A models and they do not show this kind of behavior at all.
I am at a deadlock here.

Hi @Halan ,
I see by your post that you aren't able to print when the laptop isn't in the same area as the printer. I would like to help you out today.
What is the distance of the printer and the Laptop when the printer goes offline?
Try these steps to see if it will resolve the issue.

Files goes offline if I import them in AfterEffects

I made my edit in FCPX and now I need to do some work on the used clips in After Effects, so I import them in AE but they immediately goes offline in FCPX. Why ?
What is the correct procedure to edit files in the timeline with an external editor ?
Thanks

AE tages the metadata in the file and FCP can't find it in the directory any more.
Depends on the external editor. You can't with AE.

Mac Pro RAID 5 disk goes offline frequently in a random way. What can be causing this odd behavior?

Hi dudes,
I installed recently two Mac Pro RAID cards inside their corresponding Mac Pro systems. Four 2 TB Hitachi SATA disks are contained inside each system, and configured as RAID 5. Yes, the operating system is installed on this RAID 5 volume in order to get the highest performance of the array, taking advantage of the RAID 5 protection (Autodesk Smoke runs in each system; this application works only with uncompressed video in real time). I already had tested both systems keeping separated the boot disk just for the operating system, and making the RAID 5 volume just with three 2 TB disks, but the performance was slow on both systems.
The performance is now very good, but unfortunately, in both systems happens that sometimes one of the disks goes offline with no apparent reason. The RAID Utility immediately reports the failure and it is mandatory to declare as spare the disk that went offline. Then the rebuild process begins, but in the meantime, the performance goes down in a noticeable way. Sometimes it is even worse, because the disk disappears completely. Then, it is mandatory to turn off the system, and boot it up again, in order to see in the RAID Utility the missing disk, which needs to be declared as spare in order to be reintegrated into the RAID 5 volume in a slow rebuilding process.
Some important remarks: this very new Mac Pro systems do not have the iPass cable (at least apparently; I already disassembled completely one of these systems). This cable is mentioned in one Mac RAID card manual that I found over the internet. The diagrams do not match exactly with the Mac Pro nor the Mac Pro RAID board. I did not find a proper iPass connector in any of the Mac Pro RAID cards (?!). So, my guess is that currently the communication between the system and its Mac Pro RAID card is just by means of the internal bus. I think that if the iPass connection were mandatory, the RAID Utility would report it with a noticeable error message. Please advise.
I think that these Mac Pro RAID cards need a firmware upgrade, in order to be able to work fine with big SATA drives. Again, please advise.
Thanks in advance from Mexico.
Sincerely,
Martin Ponce de Leon

Hi Grant,
Thank you for your prompt response. The manual is a PDF document issued by Apple and it seems OK, but no updated to the latest Mac Pro system and Mac Pro RAID. I do not find the link where I found this manual. The systems belong to one of our customers. As far as I remember, in the printed manual included with the boards, it is not mentioned anything about the iPass cable, just about the battery cable. Do you know where can I get a PDF manual of the latest Mac Pro RAID card and the latest Mac Pro system? This client is far from our offices. So, I would prefer a PDF copy of this manual.
The drives that have gone offline, once they are back, are reported in a good status in the RAID Utility. Besides that, I have tested them in another system in our facilites, and all of them work fine. So, my guess is that the high capacity drives are not yet supported by the Mac Pro RAID card, or it requires a firmware update.
They do need to have in the same volume OS and video storage because three disks do no provide a good performance (they need also RAID 5), but four disks work fine... excepting when one disk is missing. Please advise. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Martin

HP 8500A Plus - Keeps going offline.

An old problem but I still can't see a realistic solution on the net.
Keeps going offline - sometimes in the middle of a print run.
Turning Print Spooler off and on always cures it for a short while but this is inconvenient.
'Use Offilne' is NOT ticked. The offline message at the top of the outstanding documents list seeems to be different from and additional to the offline notice when offline is ticked.
I have given printer a fixed IP and told the router that this is a fixed IP. Checked they are the same.
When it is 'offline' it still has the correct IP address. And the router says it is connected.
This started several weeks ago. Since then I have completey changed the router and IP address range - for another reason. But its just the same problem.
Anyone solved this problem?
PS I do have a couple of non HP inks installed. Is this HP's revenge?

Hi lezzy,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you have been dealing with the 'printer offline' problem for a while and have exhausted all troubleshooting. Have you tried plugging in a USB to see if this makes a difference?
I would like you to run the HP Print and Scan Doctor- It was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers.
Does the PSDR find any errors, any software or drivers missing? Please let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply.
Thanks,
