Software repository NFS v. 5.3

Hi,
has anybody checked out how to configure the settings under system administration -> operations -> software repositories for the NFS Protocoll ?
I thought the path would be something like C:\users\acs, but the : is not accepted.
How do I configure this correctly ?
thanks for any hints .

nfs://server:path
Server is the server name and path refers to /subdir/subsubdir. Remember that a colon (:) is required after the server like this:
url nfs://x.x.x.x:/backup
NFS—If you choose this protocol, you must provide the server name and path. You can optionally provide the credentials. If you choose this protocol, make sure that ACS has full access to the NFS file system. You must have read-write and allow root access permission on the NFS file system.

CiscoWorks LMS cannot add PIX/ASA in software repository

Hi,
I can see that LMS in RME Software Management cannot add PIX/ASA software saying not supported.
Any configuration issues.
I have got another problem. CiscoWorks LMS need to download IOS on cisco router, the process fails in RME Software Mgt. But the LMS is nated when it goes through the router.
i guess the script does not know the natted ip when running it on the router. If there is a way that I can specify the natted IP of the LMS. Fortunately, it is a nated static IP.
Thanks,
Ashley

Hi Joseph,
It is working fine. My mistake, issue with TFTP source interface.
However, I had got a small issue.
I have got a cisco router which RME accesses with ip natted ip, which you have indicated and It is working fine with RME. RME can manage the router perfectly.
However, DFM is leaving this router in questioned mode. So, the SNMP Credentials must be ok since it is good with RME.
Do I have to specify the Natted DFM ip as well for this router? Or something else must be done.

LMS3.2, RME4.3.1, software Repository Synchronization error

Hello,
I've problem with synchronization of Software in RME 4.3.1 (LMS 3.2).
When I click on "finish", creating a synchronizaton job, I'v got a tomcat error (see attachement #3).
I can begin with the GUI, choose source "from Device", select the device, select image from flash, schedule the job "now", see the work order, and then on finish...tomcat error...
Moreover, when I watch settings in "CS/DataCollection Settings/Image Transfer Protocol Order", I have TFTP; NULL, but got the same tomcat error when I want to modify this settings (see attachment #2 and #1)
The TFTP service is running, what can I to verify ?
Please help
thanks a lot

Problems Setting up NFS

Hi.
I've been having problems setting up NFS on a LAN at home. I've read through all the Arch NFS-related threads and looked at (and tried some of) the suggestions, but without success.
What I'm trying to do is set up an NFS share on a wireless laptop to copy one user's files from the laptop to a wired workstation. The laptop is running Libranet 2.8.1. The workstation is running Arch Linux with the most up-to-date (as of today) software, including NFS.
I have the portmap, nfslock, and nfsd daemons running via rc.conf, set to run in that order.
I've re-installed nfs-utils and set up hosts.deny as follows:
# /etc/hosts.deny
ALL: ALL
# End of file
and hosts.allow as follows:
# /etc/hosts.allow
ALL: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
ALL: LOCAL
# End of file
In other words, I want to allow access on the machine to anything running locally or on the LAN.
I have the shared directories successfully exported from the laptop (192.168.0.3), but I have not been able to mount the exported directories on the workstation (192.168.0.2).
The mount command I'm using at the workstation:
mount -t nfs -o rsize=8192,wsize=8192 192.168.0.3:/exports /exports
There is an /exports directory on both machines at root with root permissions. There is an /etc/exports file on the NFS server machine that gives asynchronous read/write permissions to 192.168.0.2 for the /exports directory.
I receive the following message:
mount: RPC: Program not registered
This appears to be a hosts.allow/hosts.deny type problem, but I can't figure out what I need to do to make RPC work properly.
Some additional information, just in case it's helpful:
This is the result if running rpcinfo:
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 32790 status

Thanks for any help here!

Hi ravster.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had read the Arch NFS HowTo and did as you suggested get rcpinfo for the server machine. The Libranet NFS server is configured rather different since the NFS daemons are built into the default kernel.
Since I needed to complete the transfer immediately, I gave up for now trying to set up NFS and used netcat (!) instead to transfer the files from the Libranet laptop to the Arch workstation. The laptop will be converted to Arch Linux soon so I think I'll be able to clear things up soon. I haven't had any problems setting up NFS with homogeneous (i.e., all Arch or all Libranet) computer combinations.
Thanks again.

OVM Repository and VM Guest Backups - Best Practice?

Hey all,
Does anybody out there have any tips/best practices on backing up the OVM Repository as well ( of course ) the VM's? We are using NFS exclusively and have the ability to take snapshots at the storage level.
Some of the main points we'd like to do ( without using a backup agent within each VM ):
backup/recovery of the entire VM Guest
single file restore of a file within a VM Guest
backup/recovery of the entire repository.
The single file restore is probably the most difficult/manual. The rest can be done manually from the .snapshot directories, but when we're talking about having hundreds and hundreds of guests within OVM...this isn't overly appealing to me.
OVM has this lovely manner of naming it's underlying VM directories off of some abiguous number which has nothing to do with the name of the VM ( I've been told this is changing in an upcoming release ).
Brent

Please find below the response from the Oracle support on that.
In short :
- First, "manual" copies of files into the repository is not recommend nor supported.
- Second we have to go back and forth through templates and http (or ftp) server.
Note that when creating a template or creating a new VM from a template, we're tlaking about full copies. No "fast-clone" (snapshots) are involved.
This is ridiculous.
How to Back up a VM:1) Create a template from the OVM Manager console
Note: Creating a template requires the VM to be stopped (this is required because the if the copy of the virtual disk is done with the running will corrupt data) and the process to create the template make changes to the vm.cfg
2) Enable Storage Repository Back Ups using the step above:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27300_01/E27309/html/vmusg-storage-repo-config.html#vmusg-repo-backup
2) Mount the NFS export created above on another server
3) Them create a compress file (tgz) using the the relevant files (cfg + img) from the Repository NFS mount:
Here is an example of the template:
$ tar tf OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_PVHVM_4GB.tgz
OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_PVHVM_4GB/
OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_PVHVM_4GB/vm.cfg
OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_PVHVM_4GB/System.img
OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_PVHVM_4GB/README
How to restore up a VM:1) Then upload the compress file (tgz) to an HTTP, HTTPS or FTP. server
2) Import to the OVM manager using the following instructions:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27300_01/E27309/html/vmusg-repo.html#vmusg-repo-template-import
3) Clone the Virtual machine from the template imported above using the following instructions:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27300_01/E27309/html/vmusg-vm-clone.html#vmusg-vm-clone-image

Installing Repository Creation Utility (RCU) for OBIEE 11g

Hello,
We are working on installing the Oracle Business Intelligence Entreprise Edition Plus 11g (v 11.1.1.6.0) for a POC in our Company's network.
We have to install the OBI Server and other server-side components on a IBM AIX (64-Bit) server; and the client tools on the local Desktops.
My queries:
*1. I am downloading the following softwares for this setup. Please help me understand is this the complete list of softwares required, or are there any more softwares required for OBIEE 11g intallation?*
List of softwares to be downloaded:
1) Oracle Business Intelligence, v. 11.1.1.6.0
- for AIX (64-Bit):
Disk 1 (1of2) (1.4G) (cksum 4182440856)
Disk 1 (2of2) (1.5G) (cksum 2020935297)
Disk 2 (1of2) (1.7G) (cksum 796853559)
Disk 2 (2of2) (1.3G) (cksum 685152953)
Disk 3 (1.6G) (cksum 1431984641)
2) Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.6.0)
for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (320M) (cksum 2503314275) OR for Linux x86 (32-bit) (391M) (cksum 201758785)
Link for (1) and (2): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/bi-downloads-1525270.html
3) Oracle Business Intelligence Developer Client Tools Installer (11.1.1.6.0)
- for Microsoft Windows x86 (32/64-bit): (360M) (cksum 3317017977)
Link for (3): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/bus-intelligence-11g-165436.html
NOTE: The JDK 1.5.0 is installed
*2. Where should the additional required software 'Repository Creation Utility' be installed in this case?*
I can see it is available for 32-bit OS (Windows or Linux x86), and that is why I suspect it to be a client-side software - which is to be installed on my local desktop. Hence, Can I download the Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (320M) (cksum 2503314275)
Please clarify.
*4. I will not be installing any of the Oracle BI Applications, so will I require the software Oracle Business Intelligence Data Warehouse Administration Console (10.1.3.4.1)?*
I assume NO.
*5. IMP: Is there a Web server (E.g. Oracle WebLogic Server) included in the OBIEE suite, which gets installed in the default installation settings?*
OR Is there a need to download and install a separate Webserver on the AIX system before installing OBIEE.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks,
Shweta.

Although it is a POC, but the installation has to be done on a AIX6.1 remote system, which will be used as a server in the enterprise, with 5 to 7 people accessing it. So 'simple install' is not suitable in this case.
The AIX6.1 system has a JDK 6 (64 bit).
I understand that the OBIEE 11g suite comes with a Oracle WebLogic Server (OWLS) installable included in the suite. However, in case of Software Only installation type, the OWLS needs to installed first and then the installer has to be started in 'Softwar Only' mode.
Could anyone please suggest:
*1) does 'Enterprise Install' type suite on the AIX6.1 system? If yes, does it mean that it will install JDK once again? is this recommended, as the host system is a shared server and the existing JDK 6 (64-bit) can be in use by other applications on this system.*
*2) If (1) is not true, is there a way to install the Oracle WebLogic server using the OBIEE 11g installer itself? or do I need to download the WebLogic server installer separately from the OTN site?*
Thanks in advance for any helping pointers on the above.
Please reply ASAP, as this is urgent.
Thanks,
Shweta.

Software distribution error with LMS 3.2 regarding flash/memory size

Hello,
I'm accustomed to LMS raising warnings about memory size not being enough when in fact there is enough space (eg : there is 256mb, IOS requires 256mb, but LMS calculates 255.234mb, and says there is not enough memory). I've encoutered that situation many times with LMS 3.1 and just learned to ignore it.
But since I've upgraded to LMS 3.2, we are now getting _errors_ which are preventing us from deploying the IOS, even though there is still enough memory and flash space. I've read in another thread about bug CSCsu49349 but this one should be fixed in LMS 3.2, so I am at lost.
I always download my IOSes from Cisco.com using LMS so that the proper fields are populated.
Here is one sample : I was trying to deploy an IOS to a 2821 router. The IOS weighs 29Mb in reality and I have around 31Mb of free flash, and the whole flash is 64Mb, but I get a catastrophic error. Also note the contradictory warning about the memory size :
Warning - SWIM1065: Minimum RAM requirement of the selected image: 256 MB .
RAM available on the device ( 256 MB) May not be enough to activate the selected image.
Increase the RAM size for the device, select a different image for upgrading, or
specify the RAM size for the image by editing the attributes of the image stored in the software repository.
Warning - SWIM1070: Feature subset of the Active image could not be determined.
Catastrophic - SWIM1200:Selected Flash partition requires minimum (64 MB) to upgrade selected software/image.
Select a different Flash partition for upgrading the image.
Do I need to modify the flash requirement on the image to get around this, or is there a patch available for LMS 3.2 ?
Thanks for the advice,
Alex.

Hello,
After running another inventory to make sure, I get the same error. Here are the steps of the distribution process (we can see I have enough room for the IOS, barely, but still enough) :
Afterwards I get the failed message :
And the same error message :
Thanks for the help!

Configuration of Software Lifecycle Manager with MOPZ

We want to use MOPZ and additionally the Software Lifecycle Manager functionality which is available as of SP15 of SSM. Where can i find documentation about this functionality? We have the problem if i call transaction /TMWFLOW/MOPZCA that the Web Services for SLM are not available. Which Web Services? I have created a http connection to the SLM server (Java stack) like the description in the help of IMG.
How can i connect a software repository to MOPZ/SLM ?

Hello,
For this problem I had many debug sessions with SAP.
Now a new note is availabe:

IOS Software Image Management

Hi,
I have encouter this problems when I was doing image retreival for certain device.
Attached are the problems faced
Anyone know the cause?

Hi Dave,
If your Goal is to upgarde the IOS of the devices via LMS then MANUALLY download the IOS Image from cisco.com
and use the FILE SYSTEM option to add the Image in the Software Repository
Then try to upgrade the IOS and see how it works.
Thanks

Software Image Management in Prime LMS 4.2.3

In Software Repository Management I have added all the running images from our estate. The Status of each image is showing as "Not Available" even though I get the message "Image Status retrieved from Cisco.com successfully." when selecting Update Status. Should I see something more meaningful here?
Also when I run Patch Distribution I get "Failure" across the board - can anyone suggest a likely reason for this?

Hi Dave,

Software distribution problem with RME 4.2 regarding flash size

Hello I'm updating the software on about 200 3750 stacks. During the verification process I'm used to get a warning with the messages swim1132,1201 and 1106. But jobs run then successfully.
But sometimes the verification step fails with the SWIM1200 error. That is a litte strange because all the switches have the same flash size of 15998976 bytes.
The error messages are in the attachment.
I woult be very happy, if somebody can give me an advice.
Markus Schwendimann
Basel, Switzerland

This is CSCsu49349. The bug is fixed in RME 4.3. The workaround is to go to RME > Software Mgmt > Software Repository, then click on the name of the image. Reduce its required flash size down one setting (i.e. make the requirement 8 MB). This will allow the image to deploy properly.
