e_4_x/4_0/install/sol/install.htm#wp1117925

Caution Use this procedure only if you are migrating all your data from RME 3.x to RME 4.0 SP2. This migration script cleans up the database. Therefore, all user-created data (for all applications) between RME 4.0 and RME 4.0 SP2 will be lost.

If you want to restore only NetShow data, use the procedure given in the section "Restoring NetShow Data".

Restoring All RME 4.0 SP1 and SP2 Data

You can restore all the RME4.0 SP1/RME4.0 SP2 backup data using restorebackup.pl available at NMSROOT/bin/restorebackup.pl

To restore all RME 4.x data, follow the procedure described in Data Migration From an Earlier Version, in Installation and Setup Guide for Resource Manager Essentials 4.0 on Solaris:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cw2000/cw2000e/

Restoring All RME 3.x Data

If you are installing RME 4.0 and RME 4.0 SP2 for the first time, and if you want to restore the complete RME 3.x data, follow the procedure described in Data Migration From an Earlier Version, in Installation and Setup Guide for Resource Manager Essentials 4.0 on Solaris: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cw2000/cw2000e/
e_4_x/4_0/install/sol/install.htm#wp1117925

Restoring NetShow Data

This procedure is applicable if you had previously installed RME 4.0, and restored all other RME data except for NetShow data.

All the RME 3.x User Defined Command Sets and the Commands associated with those command sets are migrated to RME 4.0 SP2. The migrated Command Sets will not have any device type associated with them. You must edit them before using them in jobs.

Follow this procedure to restore only the RME 3.x NetShow data that you had backed up earlier, while upgrading from RME 3.x to RME 4.0:

Step 1 Log in as the local administrator on the system on which you installed RME 4.0 SP2.
Shut down the daemon manager. To do this, enter:  
/etc/init.d/dmgtd stop
Run the command: 
/opt/CSCOpx/bin/perl 
/opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/webapps/rme/WEB-INF/classes/com/cisco/nm/rmeng/
config/netshow/migration/RestoreNetshowData.pl -d backup location -gen 
version
Example: 
/opt/CSCOpx/bin/perl 
/opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/webapps/rme/WEB-INF/classes/com/cisco/nm/ 
rmeng/config/netshow/migration/RestoreNetshowData.pl -d 
/ciscoworks/rmebackupdata -gen 0
where:
/opt/CSCOpx—CiscoWorks installation directory.

-d backup location—Location where RME 3.4 or RME 3.5. backup data is available. This is mandatory.

-gen version—Version to be migrated to RME 4.0. This is mandatory.

After the migration is complete you will see this message:
NetShow Data migrated successfully.
Step 2 Start the daemon manager, by entering:
/etc/init.d/dmgtd start
You have migrated NetShow Data into RME 4.0 SP2.

CTMJrmServer goes down after you change to the ACS mode.

The CTMJrmServer process may go down in any one of these cases with respect to ACS configuration:

•When you change the AAA setup from the CiscoWorks local mode to the ACS mode (thorough Common Services > Server > Security > AAA Mode Setup) and register with ACS by enabling the Register all installed applications with ACS option in the AAA Mode Setup dialog box.

•When you re-register the applications with ACS (by enabling the Register all installed applications with ACS option in the AAA Mode Setup screen) while in the ACS mode.

The CTMJrmServer process may go down because of authorization failure at startup. This happens because the System Identity user is not configured properly in ACS.

CSCsa95781

(Continued)

CTMJrmServer goes down after changing to ACS mode.

(Continued)

The reasons for CTMJrmServer process to go down in the above cases can be:

•System Identity user (in the System Identity Setup dialog box under Common Services > Server > MultiServer Trust Management > System Identity Setup) is not configured in ACS.

Or

•The System identity user configured in ACS does not have the necessary JRM job privileges.

Workaround:

1. Make the ACS-related Securitychanges.

2. Ensure that the System Identity user is configured properly in ACS with the necessary JRM job privileges.

To configure the System Identity user, use the System Identity Setup dialog box under Common Services > Server > MultiServer Trust Management > System Identity Setup.

3. Restart the CTMJrmServer process and the other dependent processes (such as Syslog).

A device in the normal state appears with NetShow Data migrated successfully icon and you cannot select it.

The Device Selector shows? as the icon for a normal device for which configuration collection is successful.

Device and Credential Repository (DCR) did not have the device type information while the device was added.

Inventory collection failed because of SNMP time-out.

Workaround:

•Update the device type information in DCR.

•Make sure that the inventory collection succeeds (if required, increase the SNMP time-out value).

You can see the SNMP timeout exceptions in IC_server.lnog.

For details on editing device information in DCR, increasing SNMP time-out values, etc., see the User Guide for Resource Manager Essentials or the RME 4.0 SP1 Online help.

Wrong job options are displayed in the Work Order page for Retry Job

The wrong job options are displayed in the Work Order page for a Retry job under these conditions:

1. You create a NetShow or a NetConfig job with the Job Password option disabled in the Job Schedule Page.

The job fails with a mix of successful and failed devices.

2. You retry the job after enabling the Job Password option in the Job Schedule page.

After the job completes, when you open the Job Details page and check the Work Order page, the Job Password option appears as ?

This occurs because you had disabled the Job Password option when the job was run earlier.

Config Poller shows success without any value for RO/RW community strings in DCR.

Poller-based configuration Fetch is successful with no values entered for Read-Only (RO) or Read-Write (RW) community strings in Device and Credential Repository (DCR).

This occurs when there are no SNMP strings configured in DCR, and the Config Poller uses these default values (write2starandpublic ) for SNMP RO and RW.

Workaround:

Ensure that you have configured the correct values for SNMP RO and SNMP RW in the device.

For details see the User Guide for Common Services.

CSCsa85666

WLAN Module: Sync Archive fails when TFTP is used.

The Sync Archive operation fails for the WLAN module when TFTP is the only transport protocol that is used.

TFTP is not supported since Config-Copy-MIB is not supported by this device.

Workaround:

You can do a configuration Fetch operation using Telnet and SSH.

Enable these protocols in the Config Transport Settings page (Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Config Mgmt) and then trigger the configuration collection.

For details, see the User Guide for Resource Manager Essentials or the RME 4.0 SP1 Online help.

Deselecting NetConfig tasks removes the associated task instances

In the NetConfig Jobs edit flow (Resource Manager Essentials > Config Mgmt > NetConfig > NetConfig Jobs) in the Devices and Tasks page, if you deselect a task, its instances do not appear in the Add Tasks page (next page).

If you return to the Device and Tasks page, re-select the task, and then navigate to the Add tasks page again, the instances that you had created earlier, will not re-appear.

When you deselect a NetConfig task all the instances that were added earlier are deleted. This may occur when you copy or retry jobs.

Workaround:

Select the task and re-create the instances.

To create instances of tasks, see the User Guide for Resource Manager Essentials or the RME 4.0 SP1 Online help.

Issue with credentials removal in DCR with NetConfig job, when AAA new-model is enabled

When you are disabling credentials using NetConfig, the device may become unreachable from within RME.

However the device remains reachable outside RME.

This may occur when you disable or remove credentials such as Telnet password using a system-defined task in NetConfig.

Workaround:

To enable TACACS authentication, you should use the TACACS+ task and not the Telnet Password task.

To disable one kind of authentication, you should enable another kind of authentication.

For example, if you want to disable Telnet authentication and enable TACACS+ authentication, you can enable TACACS + authentication.

Netshow Admin options appear under Config Mgmt.

NetShow Admin settings are provided in the Transport Settings page under Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Config Mgmt although NetShow is listed under Resource Manager Essentials > Tools.

NetShow uses the APIs provided by ArchiveManagement and ConfigJob. Therefore the Admin settings are listed under Config Management.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa86905

Custom commands, that are not assigned to any Command Sets, are not migrated

This occurs if:

1. In RME 3.x, in NetShow, there were some isolated custom commands that were not associated with any command set.

2. You backed up and migrated these custom command sets into RME 4.0 SP1.

These isolated custom commands do not exist in RME 4.0 SP1 NetShow after migration.

Workaround:

Associate these isolated custom commands with any user-defined command set in RME 3.x, before taking a backup.

These custom commands will be migrated as if they were a part of a command set.
