CiscoWorks 1.0(3) Release Note
This release note describes the following:
CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3)Maintenance Update
The CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3) does not add any new features. The Sybase server has been upgraded to Version 4.9.1. For more information, refer to "CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3) Caveats," on page 20.
CiscoWorks Release 1.0(2) Features
This section describes the features and updates applicable to CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3) that were released in CiscoWorks Release 1.0(2). Refer to this section if you are a NetCentral or CiscoWorks Release 1.0(1) user.
For more information on CiscoWorks features, refer to the CiscoWorks User Guide.
Additions to the CiscoWorks User Guide
This section provides information that is either unavailable in the CiscoWorks User Guide or has been changed since CiscoWorks Release 1.0(1). It also supplements the CiscoWorks User Guide.
This section describes the following:
The following information applies to Chapter 6, "Device Management," in the CiscoWorks User Guide. If the host name of a device is the same as its IP address, do not enter the domain name along with the IP address in the Device Name field of the Devices window. For example, if the host name of a device is 130.104.23.5 and its domain name is cisco.com, you would enter the IP address portion of the host name only in the Device Name field.
If you include the domain name with the IP address in the Device Name field and click on the Initialize button, the information you entered will not be initialized correctly.
Enabling Better Use of Disk Space by Device Polling
Use this section if upgrading from CiscoWorks Release 1.0 to 1.0(3). If you have upgraded to CiscoWorks Release 1.0(2) and performed this procedure, you do not need to do it again.
The storage of polling data was changed in CiscoWorks Release 1.0(2) and 1.0(3). When a poll table is specified in the Device Polling window for a poll group, the inst column in the database field stores the instance value of the MIB table you use. The size of the inst column was 255 bytes in CiscoWorks Release 1.0, however, some instance values are smaller in size and do not require the use of 255 bytes in the inst column. As a result, database polling tables created in CiscoWorks Release 1.0 used more disk space than necessary.
CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3) software uses a variable size for the inst column with a maximum limit of 255 characters. For example, if the instance value of a MIB table is 3 bytes, the inst column field uses only 3 bytes to store the instance value. As a result, the disk consumption rate is significantly lower, and less disk space is used.
Although you can multiply the disk space consumption by the length of time you plan to poll and obtain an estimate of required disk space, your calculations might not be 100 percent accurate. The Device Polling application is unaware of which device interfaces are up or down and whether or not MIB values returned by a device are sent in one or more packets. Therefore, you should occasionally check the database to determine the actual consumption rate.
The CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3) software includes two scripts that address the size of the inst column used to store the instance value of a MIB variable:
Running the $NMSROOT/etc/fixpolls Script
To run the $NMSROOT/etc/fixpolls script after upgrading from CiscoWorks Release 1.0 to 1.0(3), perform the following steps:
Running the $NMSROOT/etc/fixpolltable Script
To run the $NMSROOT/etc/fixpolltable script for each polling table, perform the following steps:
Messages in the Log Manager window are stored in a Sybase table called ciscolog. These messages can accumulate quickly, and the database can consume large amounts of hard disk space; therefore, you should delete unwanted Log Manager messages to prevent your database from consuming too much disk space.
You can delete log messages from the Log Manager window in two ways:
Use the isql utility in the following situations:
If the Sybase transaction log is filled up during the deletion of messages from the Log Manager window, you can resolve the problem by using the $NMSROOT/etc/enlarge_nms script to enlarge the transaction log. Instructions for using this script are provided in the CiscoWorks User Guide.
Using the Truncate Table Command
You also can use the isql truncate table command to remove the log messages from the Log Manager window and the records from the Sybase table. The truncate table command uses less space in the transaction log.
Follow these steps to delete all log messages from the Log Manager window and the ciscolog file:
The isql utility allows you to specify clauses for deleting the data in the ciscolog file. If you want to delete log records that are older than 3 days, perform the following steps:
A new retry popup window has been added to several CiscoWorks applications. This popup window indicates loss of connectivity to a device and enables you to retry the request or quit. The popup window displays the following message:
The retry popup window appears in the following CiscoWorks applications:
Enhancements to Configuration Management
The Configuration Management application includes the features described in this section.
Updating Devices in the Configuration Management Window
You can update the list of devices displayed in the Configuration Management window to reflect the current list of Cisco devices in the database, so the Cisco devices displayed in the Configuration Management window will be identical to the devices in the database.
Follow these steps to update the list of devices in the Configuration Management window:
The maximum size of a configuration file or a comments file is 128 KB.
Specifying the Write Community String for a Device
A new field called Write Community has been added to the Device window in the Device Management window. This field enables you to specify the ReadWrite (RW) community string for a device. The Security Manager application protects the RW community string specified in this field. In order to specify the RW community string in this field, you must have Write Password privilege assigned to your username in the Security Manager application. Otherwise, you cannot perform this task.
Edit Group or Edit User Window
The Security Manager application enables you to edit the name of an existing user or group. To perform either task, click on the Edit button for users or groups in the Users and Groups window to display the Edit User or Edit Group window. The CiscoWorks User Guide refers to the Edit User and Edit Group windows as Modify User and Modify Groups windows. This reference is incorrect.
Enlarging Disk Space Using a Command Sequence
Chapter 8, "Database Administration" in the CiscoWorks User Guide provides a procedure for expanding database space allocation. The steps in the procedure on page 8-10 were missing commas for some commands. The correct steps follow:
Locations Information in the People Window
You can only modify location information in the People window for the Device Management application; you cannot add new location information in this window. To add new location information, use the Locations window.
When you use the ls -l command to list the nmslog files in a directory, the list includes names of the nmslog files and the dates they were created. Following is a sample listing displayed by the ls -l command:
The date indicates the day when the file was created, and the name of the file (nmslog.Fri) indicates the day when that nmslog file was closed.
A black link in a path displayed in the Path Tool window indicates that the device did not respond to SNMP.
Running Data Workbench Reports
The section "Running Reports from UNIX" in Chapter 4 in the CiscoWorks User Guide explains how you can use the runrpt command to run reports that were created and saved by the Data Workbench.
The correct name of this command is runrw. It is located in the $SYBASE/bin directory. The correct command syntax for the sample report called storm_report follows:
For more information about the runrw command, enter the following command:
Show Command Support for Flash Memory
To display information about Flash memory on a Cisco device, click on the
For CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3) caveat information on this feature, refer to "CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3)Modifications" on page 33.
Troubleshooting Configuration Management
If the Configuration Management application fails or you are unable to use commands in this application, verify the following:
The CiscoWorks User Guide provides instructions on how to run the nmsamns program. Run the nmsamns program when you are not using the Security Manager application. If you run the nmsamns program when Security Manager is being used, you will need to restart the Security Manager application. Otherwise, Security Manager will be unable to access any Sybase database records.
Writing SQL Reports for Custom Polling Tables
To write SQL-based reports for analyzing data collected in polling tables, you must be familiar with CiscoWorks polling applications, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and structured query language (SQL).
Table 1 shows the columns that are always present in a polling table. The remaining columns are user-defined and contain the values of the polled MIB objects.
Table 1 : Columns in a Polling Table
If the polled MIB objects are indexed by ifIndex, the inst column contains the appropriate value (for example, ifIndex or locIfxxx). This inst column can be used to join with the interface_id column in the Interfaces table. To join the inst column with the interface_id column, add the following to the SQL WHERE clause:
When you start polling a device, CiscoWorks creates a record with rec_type = 1. All the values in this record are absolute. All other records have rec_type = 0 and contain a mix of delta and absolute values. When you stop polling a device, you do not get any additional rows. A new rec_type value of 4 has been added to account for any anomalies or irregularities, which includes absolute values instead of delta values.
You can determine whether a MIB object will contain an absolute or delta value by getting its data type from the $SNMHOME/agents/cisco.schema file and identifying the value for each type. For example, sysUpTime uses timeticks as its record type, so the data value will be displayed as a delta value (the difference in value between the current poll and the last poll) if rec_type = 0.
For information on identifying the value for a data type, refer to Table 2.
Table 2 : Values for Types of Records
In a custom polling table, the columns containing the polled object values are labeled var[1-n], where n is the number of polled MIB objects. The genmibview script in the $NMSROOT/etc directory enables you to create a view of the polling table that uses the MIB variable names. Use the following command to create a table with meaningful column names:
The command creates a view called tablename_view. For example, to generate a view for a polling table named traffic, a user named netman and a password cisco, use the following command:
This command creates a view of the traffic table called traffic_view, with columns named after the MIB object names.
When you create a polling table in Device Polling, you specify the MIB object values that you want to collect. These values are collected by the poller and added to the database as the values are received. When polled values arrive at the poller in different packets, the values are written to the database in different records. Therefore, you might find that the data for a given poll is spread over two or more records, with NULL appearing where data was not available.
The following example shows how polling data is received over time and added to the database:
You cannot perform row operations without first grouping and aggregating your data. You might want to use the timestamp column to perform groupings and then use the AVG or MAX (for absolute values) or SUM (for delta values) to aggregate. You can use the following GROUP BY clause to group by device, inst, and 15-minute intervals:
Computing sysUpTime Over a Polling Interval
To calculate time-dependent statistics for a device, calculate the total device uptime during the polling period. Create a temporary table containing the uptime for each polled device by using the following SQL commands:
The SQL commands create a temporary table called #t1 that contains device IDs and the uptime values for each device. The value is divided by 100 so that uptime will be in seconds (sysUpTime is in 100ths of a second).
Using ifOperStatus and ifAdminStatus
If you are polling interface values, include ifOperStatus and ifAdminStatus in your polling values to determine whether a given interface is operational. If you are using a GROUP BY clause in your SQL, add a HAVING condition to the group to check whether the interface was operational. Add the following commands to the group:
The possible values for ifAdminStatus are listed in Table 3.
Table 3 : Values for ifAdminStatus
These values are also described in RFC 1213, Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based Internets: MIB-II.
Calculating Traffic Values on Serial Lines
Because serial lines are full duplex, there is no single way to perform a traffic calculation. The following calculation provides the best view:
In general, however, it is often less complex and more direct to look at traffic as the amount of data transmitted by a given device onto a line. This is consistent with the router calculation that obtains a load value. In this case, use the following calculation (where the utilization is a function of which end of the serial line that you are measuring):
If you use ifInOctets+ifOutOctets as a traffic measure for serial lines, your utilization levels appear to be greater than 100 percent.
To determine whether you have a serial line, check the interface_type column in the Interfaces table. Table 4 lists the serial interface types and the protocols associated with each interface. For detailed information on interfaces and protocols, refer to RFC 1213, Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based Internets: MIB-II.
Table 4 : Serial Interface and Protocol Type
To select serial interfaces, use the following with the WHERE clause:
Additional Files in the $NMSROOT/contrib Directory
The following utilities have been added to the $NMSROOT/contrib directory. For more detailed information, refer to the individual README files also located in the directory.
Shutting Down the CiscoWorks Daemons
If you are unable to shut down the CiscoWorks daemons (including nmpolld, nmlogd, nmeventd, or nmdevmond) by clicking on the Off button in the Process Manager window, perform the following steps as a superuser. Do not attempt to turn off the Sybase dataserver.
This section describes undocumented error messages that do not appear in the CiscoWorks User Guide. They are arranged in alphabetical order.
Remove the snm+lock file:
The snm+lock file is created when you launch SNM.
If your system swap space is inadequate, shut down some applications and rebuild the kernel with a larger process table.
To receive the SunOS patch (ID 100981) to fix this error, contact Sun Microsystems, Inc.
CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3) Caveats
This section lists notes and restrictions that apply to the CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3). If a caveat applies only to CiscoWorks Release 1.0 or 1.0(2), it is noted in the description of the caveat.
These caveats are arranged within sections by CiscoWorks applications. General caveats are presented first, followed by CiscoWorks applications, which are presented in an alphabetical order.
This section describes general caveats associated with CiscoWorks applications.
When you install the Sybase software, either separately or by using the Sybase software supplied with CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3), the network interface on your system must be present before you install Sybase. For example, a system might have an Ethernet network interface.
When you install the CiscoWorks and Sybase software by running the ./extract_unbundled script, an interfaces file is created. This file specifies the network interface used by your system.
Avoid editing the interfaces file manually before configuring the CiscoWorks software. If you change this interfaces file before configuring CiscoWorks, the Sybase dataserver is not activated. To avoid this problem, make sure that you do not manually change the interfaces file while you are installing the CiscoWorks and the Sybase software. [CSCdi08816]
To change the device to which you back up files, remove the log file $NMSROOT/DBMS_backup.log and enter the backup_nms command string. [CSCdi03734]
In the CiscoWorks User Guide, the section "Option for Enabling Boot File Generation" in
The command for step 1 contains a spelling error in Nmconfman. The correct procedure appears below.
[CSCdi010145]
Increasing Transaction Log Size
When CiscoWorks is shipped, the disk space allocated to database functions leaves about 6 MB of free space to record table information and polling and 4 MB of free space for the transaction log. However, 4 MB of disk space might be inadequate for the transaction log.
When you delete a Sybase table or specific portions of the database, the deleted database is copied to the transaction log. If the deleted information is larger than 4 MB, the deletion process is aborted, and a Sybase error message is displayed.
Increase the size of the transaction log to allow the Sybase database to be copied to the log. The $NMSROOT/etc/enlarge_nms script in CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3) enables you to increase the size of the transaction log. After adding space to the database, the script asks you if you want to use the new space for the transaction log. If you answer yes, the new disk space is allocated to the transaction log.
For detailed instructions on how to increase the size of the transaction log, refer to Chapter 8, in the section "Enlarging the Transaction Log Space" in the CiscoWorks User Guide. [CSCdi08179]
If you change the host name for the system running the Sybase dataserver, you will be unable to use the interfaces file for Sybase. To correct this problem, update the interfaces file by following the instructions in your Sybase documentation or run the $NMSROOT/etc/setaddress script. [CSCdi07688]
Keys for Interfaces in Choices Window
SNM uses instances and keys synonymously to indicate interfaces for a device. For example, to graph MIB object data for a device, you can click on a device in the Results Browser window and choose the Graph option, or select Choices from the Graph pull-down menu.
The Choices window displays the attributes and the keys in two columns. The keys indicate the interfaces for the device. The first key indicates the first interface, the second key indicates the second interface; and so on. The interfaces are listed in the order of the keys. To identify the interface associated with the key in the Choices window (for example, it could be Ethernet, serial, and so on), you might need to refer to the interfaces displayed by the Instances option in the Device Polling window or with the Show Commands. You could also perform a quick dump of the Cisco MIB variables ifTable. When you identify the desired interface, you can select the appropriate key from the Choices window. [CSCdi08171]
Listing the Host Name in the Hosts File
If the /etc/hosts table is larger than 190 KB, and the host name of your system is not listed at the top of the hosts file, Sybase might be unable to resolve the name and refuse to start. This is caused by a name resolution bug in Sun libc file. Make sure that the host name of your system is listed at the beginning of the /etc/hosts file. [CSCdi07681]
noSuchName Response for SET Error
Some older versions of SNMP agents (including the Cisco agent) return a noSuchName error for SET requests on a read-only variable. CiscoWorks will incorrectly generate an error indicating that the reply was invalid. What displays is dependent upon the CiscoWorks application you are using, but generally CiscoWorks will indicate that the reply is invalid in some way, when the actual error is something different. [CSCdi11578]
Running the $NMSROOT/sybase/bin/dwb Script
This caveat applies to Cisco routers, but is pertinent to CiscoWorks users.
When defining a community string for a router, enter the community string without quotation marks around it. For example, to define the community string as "public," enter the following command:
Sybase-Related Log Daemon Error
The Log daemon (nmlogd) establishes a connection with the Sybase server. If the Sybase dataserver dies, nmlogd attempts to reestablish the connection with the Sybase dataserver once every 60 seconds until it succeeds. If nmlogd is unable to connect to the Sybase dataserver after continuous attempts, it displays a Sybase error message that explains the reason for the error.
A typical example of an error message follows:
For an explanation of the Sybase error, refer to your Sybase documentation and follow the instructions for eliminating the Sybase error. The nmlogd error message will not appear again. [CSCdi08183]
Turning off CiscoWorks Daemons
If you shut down the Sybase dataserver and the Log daemon (nmlogd), you might need to shut down all CiscoWorks daemons and restart them because you will no longer be able to turn off the Event Logger daemon (nmeventd) and the Device Monitor daemon (nmdevmond) from the Process Manager window.
The following steps describe how to identify the process ID number for a CiscoWorks daemon and remove it. Repeat these steps for each CiscoWorks daemon, substituting the appropriate daemon name and process ID number.
The caveats in this section apply to the Configuration Management application.
You must use the same community string in the Configuration Management application that you use for polling functions. The community string for the Configuration Management application must be ReadWrite (RW). [CSCdi01416]
Downloading Configuration Files (Syntax Errors)
It is possible to download a configuration file containing syntax errors. If you suspect this is the case, log onto the router console, then initiate a TFTP configuration file download from the router. The errors will be displayed on your Console screen. [CSCdi02187]
File Dialog Box in Configuration Management
When you display the File Selection window by selecting File to Database from the Configuration Management window, the path displayed in the Path field is your current home directory. To change the path, place the cursor in the Path field, enter the new path over the existing path, and press Return. [CSCdi08321]
Updated Devices in Configuration Management
If a ReadWrite (RW) community string was assigned to the device in the Devices window, you can select a device in the Configuration Management window and execute a database-related command such as Database to Device, Device to Database, or Compare Configs. If you select a command for a device that is not assigned with a RW community string, a popup window appears and prompts you to supply the RW community string.
If you enter a community string other than RW, the database-related command fails. If this problem occurs, perform the following steps:
The caveats in this section apply to the Device Monitor application.
Device Monitor Message on IP Address Information
If an IP address is assigned to an interface that did not previously have an IP address, the Device Monitor daemon (nmdevmond) generates the following type of message in the Log Manager window:
If a device interface already has an IP address, and it was removed from the configuration file, nmdevmond generates the following type of message in the Log Manager window:
[CSCdi09975]
Interface Status on Unreachable Devices
The Device Monitor application monitors the interfaces of each device by checking each interface. However, if the device cannot be reached, the Device Monitor application cannot determine the status of the interfaces or provide information about the interfaces. It does not generate an event when the interface status of a device is unknown. To obtain information about the status of devices, use SNM. For information on automatic node management, refer to your SunNet Manager 2.0 Reference Guide. [CSCdi09634]
The caveats in this section apply to the Device Polling application.
Destroying Polling Tables in isql
If you use isql to destroy a device polling table that is being actively polled, the CiscoWorks Device Polling daemon (nmpolld) displays a series of error messages in the Log manager window. Device Polling is unable to continue, and the poll group in the table remains disabled until you restart nmpolld. [CSCdi08292]
Entering Poll Rate and Device Name Manually
If you manually enter the polling interval in the Poll Rate field or a device name in the Device field and click on the Apply button, the information you entered is not accepted by the Device Polling application. To avoid this problem, select from the available polling interval rates or device names and click on the Apply button. [CSCdi09006]
Incorrect Query in Sybase for nmpolld
If you have more than one Device Polling daemon (nmpolld) process, you may need to delete one of the processes for polling to occur. As part of nmstartup, the kernel may create a new process identification number (pid). This may cause nmpolld to assume an incorrect poller id (based upon the process id problems) and thus not poll the poll groups it should be polling. [CSCdi10777]
Log Filenames Must be Full Path Names
In nmpolld, the filenames specified with the -l, -L, or -D options that do not contain an absolute path are created relative to the root directory (/), rather than the current working directory. For example, if your current working directory was /usr/nms and you ran nmpolld -l log, you would expect the log file to be created as /usr/nms/log. However, it is created as /log.
The workaround is to always specify absolute path names when using these options. For example, enter nmpolld -l /usr/nms/log. [CSCdi12654]
Selecting Interfaces in Device Polling
When you select an interface from the Instance pick menu in Device Polling, select a device, and then click on the Apply button, the interface is applied to the object that is selected in the Objects window. [CSCdi08264]
The caveats in this section apply to CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3) installation.
Problem with Root umask in Configuration Script
If you run ncsconfigure and receive the message, "FIFO_config: Permission denied," your installation fails. The root umask setting on your system has caused the configuration script to not allow other users, in this case the Sybase user, to read the configuration files. To remove the files with the incorrect privileges and rerun the installation correctly, perform the following steps:
Upgrading from CiscoWorks Release 1.0 or 1.0(2) to 1.0(3)
When upgrading from CiscoWorks Release 1.0 or 1.0(2) to 1.0(3), make sure your system has a minimum of 64+ MB of free disk space in the database. Sybase requires this space in order to keep the current database running while installing the new database in a different directory.
The amount of space required will display during the installation, but you may want to calculate the space ahead of time. To calculate your disk space requirement, perform the following steps:
Use this number to ensure that you have the required amount of disk space before attempting an upgrade to CiscoWorks Release 1.0(3).
