    3. To check Java's memory usage, choose the About command on the CIPM Help menu. The total memory figure displayed refers to the amount of memory currently allocated to CIPM by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The free memory figure refers to the amount of allocated total memory that is not currently in use. If the amount of available memory (free memory plus the difference between total memory and the maximum allowed) is small, the JVM may not be able to supply CIPM with enough memory and you may receive a Java out-of-memory exception. Exit and restart the GUI application to clear the memory-management error condition. CIPM puts a 96-megabyte cap on the amount of memory the JVM is allowed to claim. This can be changed with the Java Runtime Environment flag -Xmx by editing the launchgui.sh script. Search for java -Xmx and specify memory in megabytes, kilobytes, or bytes, as:

    java -Xmx70m
    java -Xmx70k
    java -Xmx70
     
    
  However, if you allocate more than the default maximum value, you will increase the risk of memory contention, especially when any of the CIPM servers are running on the same host as the GUI application.

    4. The maximum number of slots in a container element is 32, not 100 as documented in the Managing Network Elements chapter of the Cisco IP Manager User Guide (page 5-10).

    5. To use the same target device in multiple rows in template data spreadsheet, append #xxx at the end of the device name to distinguish them, where xxx is a string (which cannot contain white space).

  For example, if you use pslab-1600 multiple times in the template data, your spreadsheet should look like this:

Device
${arg1}
${arg2}

pslab-1600

1

1

pslab-1600#1

3

4

pslab-1600#2

5

6

pslab-1600#test

7

8

pslab-1600#WhatEver

7

8

  When you commit or download the generated configuration file of any of these target devices, the CTM server strips #xxx from device name and sends the request to, in this case, pslab-1600.
  The preceding usage applies also to subtemplates.

New in Cisco IP Manager (Lite) 2.0(43)

The Cisco IP Manager (Lite) 2.0.43 release includes the following new features:

Known Problems in DDTS

The following items lists known problems in Cisco IP Manager 2.0. The problems are listed by their identifiers in the Distributed Defect Tracking System (DDTs) used by Cisco to track product defects and enhancement requests.

CSCdm33357

Problem: If you run Cisco IP Manager in a distributed fashion, that is, with the NEMServer and TGServer installed on a separate host other than where the CENTER-LITE package is installed, the telnet process spawned by the TGServer may hang if you specify a device host name instead of an IP address.

Workaround: We recommend specifying a device IP address if the NEMServer and TGServer installed in a distributed fashion. Other possibilities include modifying the allserver.env script and manually launching the remote TGServer.

CSCdm50441

Problem: After some modal dialogs are dismissed, the first right click to bring up a context menu has no effect.

Workaround: Right click a second time to bring up the context menu.

CSCdm62848

Problem: Orbix can core-dump after a long running session and Orbix runs out of file descriptors.

Workaround: Restart all servers on that machine.

CSCdm74784

Problem: NS core-dumps when invoked with the -V flag (show version).

Workaround: Don't invoke the server with the -V flag. This flag is not needed for normal operation, so it is not a problem.

CSCdm76080

Problem: You may get a Java out-of-memory exception when Cisco IP Manager is used heavily.

Workaround: Restart the GUI or increase the JVM heap size (using, for example, java -mx128m). Refer to "Important Notes" for information on how to increase the JVM heap size.

CSCdm83935

Problem: If you run multiple instances of the Template Config Builder subsystem on the same template with the same user name, you will implicitly unlock the template when you close any of these Template Config Builder subsystems.

Workaround: Go to the Template Manager window and explicitly lock the template from its pop-up menu after you close a Template Config Builder window.

CSCdm87830

Problem: Sometimes the Template Config Builder subsystem may cease to function after you type certain special characters.

Workaround: Save the template body and data using the pull-down menu, and then select Revert from the same menu. The editor will be reset and function normally again.

CSCdp03641

Problem: The NEMServer core-dumps when two GUIs are trying to do group deletion of elements.

Workaround: Do not have more than one GUI at a time do group deletion of elements.

CSCdp13259

Problem: Password fields show spaces rather than asterisks after you enter more than 16 characters.

Workaround: None. This is a cosmetic problem and does not affect functionality.

CSCdp16499

Problem: In the SubTemplate Data dialog brought up from the Config Builder, the selected SubTemplate sometimes contains template data that no longer exist.

Workaround: In the SubTemplate Data dialog, remove these template data by using the << button and then click the Ok button.

CSCdp18993

Problem: If you use the configure terminal mode to download to a router's running configuration, banners with the following character pattern may cause problems to the current download script:

%
end
  the characters config followed by 0 or more characters and then the characters )#
#
>
 

Workaround: Avoid these character patterns in banner content, or use the TFTP download method as an alternative.

CSCdp20566

Problem: Whenever an illegal value is entered for operation timeout and prompt timeout in the Telnet gateway property page, or no value is entered, the GUI provides default values of 60 and 0, respectively. These values are inconsistent with TGServer's defaults of 1200 and 10, respectively.

Workaround: Check the assigned value as shown in these fields after clicking the Apply button, and make sure the values are within the acceptable range before clicking OK. If they are not, type in acceptable values.

CSCdp21669

Problem: Deleting a network element does not generate a log message.

Workaround: None.

CSCdp21682

Problem: Blank lines are added intermittently in the User List of the User Manager.

Workaround: Add or remove a user to refresh the user list or restart the GUI to see the updated list.

CSCdp21956

Problem: Within the Log Viewer, when the log is viewed with the local time option and an invalid date is entered in the Search or More Search dialog, the Cisco IP Manager GUI does not behave properly. There are no error messages and the search operation did not perform.

Workaround: Enter the date in valid format (YYYY/MM/DD) in the Search and More Search dialogs.

CSCdp22593

Problem: The GUI Diff operation in the Archive Manager window can throw Java exceptions when you try to compare two files containing the same content, when using the following steps: Click on the Complete Diff button, click on the Difference Only button, and then click on Complete Diff again.

Workaround: Normally, the exception has no operation impact. If you have problem bringing up the GUI Diff window after the Java exception, close the Archive Manager window and open it up again.

CSCdp24337

Problem: The GUI displays a dialog "Continue paste operation?" even though there are no more elements to paste.

Workaround: Dismiss the dialog.

CSCdp28340

Problem: When all Cisco IP Manager servers and Orbix daemon are killed, connection is refused and exceptions are displayed when the GUI continues running without servers.

Workaround: Either exit from the GUI, or kill all GUI Java processes, or both.

CSCdp29321

Problem: Domain Properties dialogs remain opened after closing the Element Manager. At this point, applying properties results in a Java exception.

Workaround: Close the Domain Properties dialog before closing the Element Manager. Reopen the Element Manager and then reopen the Domain Properties dialog to apply properties.

CSCdp31113

Problem: Sometimes performing an immediate reload (either right away, or specifying 0 hours 0 minutes as the "Reload in" length of time) on a child element of an MGX composite element can result in a generic TGServer operation failure message, even though the reload on the child element is successful.

Workaround: Don't use the immediate reload feature on an MGX composite element. Instead, schedule the reload in a small amount of time (1 minute, for example) to give the expect script enough time to exit normally before the reload, thus avoiding the race condition that causes the error message.

CSCdp31291

Problem: Sometimes performing an immediate reload (either right away, or specifying 0 hours 0 minutes as the "Reload in" length of time) through VTY connection on an element would results in an operation timeout failure message, even though the reload on the element is successful.

Workaround: Don't use the immediate reload feature on a VTY-connected element. Instead, schedule the reload in a small amount of time (1 minute, for example) to give the expect script enough time to exit normally before the reload, thus avoiding the race condition that causes the error message.

CSCdp31639

Problem: Operations on a deleted domain with the Config Builder show no error messages in the Message Console. Instead, error messages are shown on the Xterm where the GUI was started (using ipmgr.gui). Moreover, CTMServer deletes all templates and template data under the deleted domain and removes these templates from the database. Make sure you check the domain before deleting it.

Workaround: Close the Config Builder, because the domain and its templates are no longer valid, and make sure there are no templates currently in use before deleting the domain.

CSCdp31872

Problem: A communication server's console port may be left in a busy state when you perform a single or compound operation (for example, Download to Running plus Update Startup plus Reload Element).

Workaround: For a single operation, you should manually clear the console port and retry the operation. For a compound operation, the GUI should inform you the progress of each stage of the compound operation that has finished successfully. You should then manually clear the console port and continue with the rest of the operations. Also, we recommend using the "no logging console" command when using the console connect method in Cisco IP Manager. This may alleviate or entirely eliminate the problem.

CSCdp35828

Problem: When trying to create add a new element to a domain from the GUI, if disk space is low, the NEMServer can generate a core dump and display the following message:

org.OMG.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE:unlucky.cisco.com/1604
 

Workaround: A minimum of 15 percent of any volume used by a CIPM process (including the Oracle database) should be kept free.

CSCdp42076

Problem: A CIPM server becomes unresponsive, even though the server process is running, and the following log message is stored in the database: "Database exception - cursor error : Number ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel,offset: 0."

Workaround: Restart the CIPM server (use the ipmgr.killit and ipmgr.launch utilities). The error message indicates that a break has occurred in the network connection between the CIPM server and the Oracle database, and the Oracle process has timed out. This condition can occur with any CIPM server that connects directly to the database.

CSCdp99493

Problem: The working configuration of a device does not show all arguments in the spreadsheet, upon commit, when there are multiple device names pointing to the same physical device. For example, if the following two names were in the template data, pslab-1600 and pslab-1600#1, both pointing to the same physical device, pslab-1600. The template body is username ${name}.

Template Body
Template Data

Device

${name}

Username ${name}

Pslab-1600

testuser

Pslab-1600#1

Testuser100

If both the names pointing to the same physical device are selected and a commit is performed, the working configuration of this device should have the following data, from both device names:

username test
username test100
 

But the script sends the data sequentially and, in the process, each new name overwrites the previous one. In this case, if data for the name pslab-1600 is first and then data for pslab-1600#1, the working configuration shows the data as username Testuser100 (instead of username testuser username Testuser100). This causes the previous configuration for the name pslab-1600 to be overwritten by the next device's name pslab-1600#1. This is undesirable as there is no way for the user to see the complete working configuration before downloading the configuration to the device (even though the correct configuration is downloaded).

Workaround: If the same device is in multiple rows in the template data, commit them one at a time to working configuration as needed. If you use multiple selection in the spreadsheet to commit all devices at the same time, only the last one committed will be copied to the working configuration; the others will be overwritten.

CSCdr07293

Problem: Upload and download to a file in a subdirectory on the storage device doesn't work on the 3810 router.

Workaround: None.

CSCdr20264

Problem: When the operations and prompt timeouts are changed through the GUI, these values are not saved when the NEMServer is killed and restarted.

Workaround: To permanently save these values, launch the NEMServer with the -T option to save the prompt timeout (PromptTimeout) and the -w optionto save the slement operations timeout (ElementOpTimeout). In addition, a utility script (setElementOpTimeout) lets you change the operation timeout before launching the NEMSever.

CSCdr77883

Problem: The IP Manager runs GUI applications on Java 1.2 environment. This Java version does not support TSI Raptor GFX-8P display card. If your Sun workstation is equipped with this card, you won't be able to view text in any pulldown or popup menu when you run IP Manager GUI.

Workaround: None.

CSCdr92777

Problem: The shminfo_shmmax=8388608 statement in the Installation Guide has been taken from the Oracle 7 documentation.

Workaround: Use shminfo_shmmax=4294967295 instead of the statment printed in the Installation Guide.

CSCdr95240

Problem: The IP Manager GUI is slow in refreshing windows if you run the GUI in a remote host and display it to a local host via X Windows.

Workaround: Install IP Manager GUI package on the local host and run the GUI locally.

Other Known Problems

Problem: If you are using /etc/hosts make sure there is a line in for hosts:files dns

Workaround: If the CIPM server machine is not configured with a local domain name, enter

"" for the domain name prompt when the ipmgr.configure script is run.

Documentation Issues

The section "Permissions Groups" in Chapter 2, "Network Organization," of the Cisco IP Manager (Lite) User's Guide contains incomplete information. The following appears:

  To work on an element or a template, the user must belong to a group that has been given the appropriate access to the element or template and has been given at least read access to the domain in which the element or template resides.

Add the following:

  Both read and modify permissions must be explicitly granted for a domain before users can modify domain attributes, and read permission must be explicitly granted for a domain in order to create elements and templates.

The syntax for creating the ipmgr user as documented on page 3-6 of the user guide is incomplete.

The complete steps are:

  CREATE USER ipmgr IDENTIFIED BY password
  DEFAULT TABLESPACE CIPM_DAT
  TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP;

Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM is updated monthly. Therefore, it is probably more current than printed documentation. The CD-ROM package is available as a single unit or as an annual subscription.

Ordering Documentation

Registered CCO users can order the Documentation CD-ROM and other Cisco Product documentation through our online Subscription Services at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/subcat/kaojump.cgi.

Nonregistered CCO users can order documentation through a local account representative by calling Cisco's corporate headquarters (California, USA) at 408 526-4000 or, in North America, call 800 553-NETS (6387).

Obtaining Technical Assistance

Cisco provides Cisco Connection Online (CCO) as a starting point for all technical assistance. Warranty or maintenance contract customers can use the Technical Assistance Center. All customers can submit technical feedback on Cisco documentation using the web, e-mail, a self-addressed stamped response card included in many printed docs, or by sending mail to Cisco.
