About the 9.1.10 Cisco StrataView Plus for AIX Release

The 9.1.10 Cisco StrataView Plus for AIX software release supports the existing Cisco WAN switching products (including the Cisco IGX 8400 series and the Cisco BPX 8600 series) running the Switch software version 9.1 based release, and introduces the following features:

New Features and Enhancements in Release 9.1.10

New Features and Enhancements in Release 9.1.09

WANCV has been enhanced to make clock type x21InvertClock selectable.
The MIB definition for this object is:
x21InvertClock OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
normal(1),
invert(2),
normalDontExpectRcvClk(3),
invertDontExpectRcvClk(4)
}
ACCESS read-write
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"This object configures two options:
a) Whether you want to invert the clock sent with the TX data
b) Whether you expect to receive a clock from the other side

normal(1) - a)=dont invert, b)=expect rcv clock
invert(2) - a)=invert, b)=expect rcv clock
normalDontExpectRcvClk(3) - a)=dont invert, b)=dont expect rcv clock
invertDontExpectRcvClk(4) - a)=invert, b)=dont expect rcv clock

Default is normal(1)
"
::= { x21CnfGrpEntry 9 }

The two choices normalDontExpectRcvClk(3), invertDontExpectRcvClk(4) are available on FRSM-HS1 and FRSM-HS1B cards with V.35 backcards in AXIS shelves running 4.0.21, 4.1.05 or later releases.
StrataView connection management system (Connection Manager GUI and connection proxy service agent) have been enhanced to support three new service types for ATM-FR and ATM-ATM connections:
Table 1 lists the details for these services for ATM local cards.

Device Name Changes
IGX 8450 chassis includes both IGX8400 and MGX8800 planes. However, SV+ 9.1.07 supports only IGX8400 cards.

Note In StrataView Topology, during initial network discovery phase, the IGX8450 icon will be shown as IGX8400 icon. In few seconds it will be shown as proper IGX8450 icon. However, if the NWIP address on IGX8450 is not configured, the transition from the IGX8400 icon to the IGX8450 icon on SV+ topology will not be done.
Cisco View has been enhanced to manage IGX8450. This release shall manage only the following cards:
The right half of the IGX8450 shelf will be shown empty.
Two sample files, CAC_calc.txt.sample, CAC_calc.txt.sample2 files are distributed along with SV+ package. These files can be found on installed SV+ 9.1.07 system in /usr/users/svplus/config directory.
Copy one of the files as CAC_calc.txt into the /usr/users/svplus/config directory, modify, if needed, before starting SV+ to be able to use the CAC functionality.
For VBR connections, the % utilization field will get automatically updated as the values for PCR(0+1), MCR(0+1), MBS(0+1) fields are being entered.
FOR CBR connections, the % utilization field will get automatically updated as the value for PCR(0+1) field is being updated.
Note ConnProxy does not support this feature in this release.
Link0 and link1 keep-alive interval can be configured by environment variables SV_LINK0_TIMEOUT and SV_LINK1_TIMEOUT in seconds. If these environment variables are not set, the default values are:
Variable Time (seconds) Link Number

link0 keep-alive interval

120

if number_of_link0 < 29

180

if 30 < number_of_link0 < 59

240

if 60 < number_of_link0 < 89

300

if 90 < number_of_link0

link1 keep-alive interval

300


If you use the environment variables to set their own link0/link1 keep-alive interval, the above default values will not apply.
Because of the retry mechanism in SV+, in a worst case scenario, the gap time to inform LINK_DOWN is:
keep-alive interval + (2 * number_of_retry * response_time_out)
number_of_retry by default is configured in config.sv as 6 seconds
response_time_out by default is configured in config.sv as 7 seconds
With these retry and response time out values, the maximum time taken by SV+ to report a LINK_DOWN message will be keep-alive interval + 84 seconds.
A new saveConfig script has been provided as part of StrataView plus distribution. This script can be used to save some of the configuration files like /usr/users/svplus/statsmgrdir/parserconfig.stats, which gets overwritten during the upgrade. This script saves the files listed in /usr/users/svplus/config/files_to_be_saved file. You can edit this files_to_be_saved file to include all the files that need to be saved, before the upgrade.

Discontinued Features in Release 9.1.07

New Features and Enhancements in Release 9.1.03

Note Grouped Connections are no longer supported in switch software version 9.1 in any manner. All grouped connections must be deleted prior to starting the upgrade. If these connections are desired, all grouped connections must be ungrouped using a Cisco StrataView Plus based tool called unGroup which will be available at a later date. This tool will be posted on CCO. More details on this tool are given in this release note.

Connection Manager

The StrataView Plus Release 9.1 Connection Manager supports CESM ports, structured and unstructured connections and supports CESM 8 port cards. Until SV+ 9.0 the addressing scheme used for CESM 4 port cards was logical addressing. In SV+ 9.1 the addressing scheme has been changed to physical addressing.

The StrataView Plus Release 9.1 Connection Manager supports management of UXM ports and connections.

Network Limits

The network will allow up to 12 SV+ stations to be connected into it. There is no change in StrataView Plus Release 9.1 software for this feature, the switch software and AXIS (4.04 onwards) have increased their limits to support this.

StrataView Plus Release 9.1.10 will be able to manage 40 different disjoint networks running switch software releases 8.2, 8.4, 8.5 or 9.1 provided all the networks elements have unique network IP addresses and unique names across all the networks managed by StrataView Plus. Different networks may run different versions of switch software as long as the releases are those listed above.
New Features Supported

New Hardware Support

CESM-(8T1/8E1): Connection Manager and service agent are enhanced to support CESM ports, structured and unstructured connections and to support CESM 8 port cards. Until SV+ 9.0 the addressing scheme used for CESM 4 port cards was logical addressing. In SV+ 9.1 the addressing scheme has been changed to physical addressing.

Packaging Changes

SV+ Service Agent is packaged along with StrataView Plus and is not an optional feature. SNMP Agent and Proxy processes are run along with other StrataView Plus core processes. The option to run SNMP agent from the SV+ menu has been removed.

How to Get CiscoView

CiscoView is not on the SV+ 9.1 CD. CiscoView consists of CiscoView engine and device package files. CiscoView engine, device package files and required patches of CiscoView engine are on a separate CD included in SV+ bill of materials. CiscoView device package files are also available on CCO and the AXIS/BPX/IGX device files are also available on SV+ CD.

IBM Platform Requirements

Three types of machines are supported for StrataView Plus 9.1.10 as standard platforms. They are low-end, mid-range and high-end platforms. The configuration of each platform type is listed in Table 10. Other equivalent platforms running AIX 4.2 are also supported.

The selection of a proper SV+ platform depends on a number of factors, such as number of SV+ desktops, number of managed connections and number of statistics collected and stored. The above table also lists recommended SV+ platforms based on the size of network.

The following are additional notes for SV+ platform requirements:

If a Low End SV+ system is used for mid-range or large-range networks, the following problems may be observed.

Required Configuration for Stand-alone SCM

Three types of machines are supported for SV+ 9.1 stand-alone SCM as standard platforms. They are low-end, mid-range and high-end platforms. The configuration of each platform type is listed in Table 11.

For IBM NetView installation requirements and procedures, please refer to appropriate IBM documentation.

The default color of the background map can make it difficult to see the color of the nodes and the trunks on the map. To change the color of the background map, see See "Default Color of Background Map"

Notes and Cautions

Installation

Make sure at least 750 MB of disk space in /usr/users/svplus area can be allocated for SV+ 9.1.10 installation. In the case of upgrade, disk space used by existing SV+ software plus free disk space should exceed 750 MB.

If you have installed SV+ 9.1.00, remove the Informix package from your system and reinstall Informix package from 9.1.10 CD. Make sure Informix processes are not running before removing the informix package. To remove the existing informix package, execute the command as a root user:

# pkgrm CSCOinf

You do not have to remove the Informix package if you had installed Informix from 9.1.01 or later CD.

If you plan to use auto install and intend to partition the disk during auto install you have two choices for installing Wingz:

    1. Install Wingz in /opt/Wingz before installing SV+ and then execute IntegrateWingz.

    2. Install Wingz in /usr/users/Wingz after installing SV+ and then execute IntegrateWingz.

If you do not plan to partition the disk during auto install or if you are using manual install you have two choices for installing Wingz:

    1. Install Wingz either in /usr/users/Wingz or /opt/Wingz before installing SV+.

    2. Install Wingz either in /usr/users/Wingz or /opt/Wingz after installing SV+ and run IntegrateWingz.

Install Wingz software from the Wingz tape or CD. Note that WingZ version 2.5 should be installed for SV+ release 9.1.10. After installing, contact Wingz for a runtime license and blend it with SV+ 9.1.10. Failing to do so will result in following error message when clicking on the SV+ Report icon: "There is a problem with the registration information for this machine. Contact your system administrator".

If Informix is installed on a disk array (typically the device name is /dev/vx/rdsk/rootdg/vol03) then the ownership of the device and the group ownership of the device should be set to informix. The mode of the device should be 770. Otherwise, after reboot the machine, the following error message will appear in the console, "Shared memory is not initialized".

If you are installing HP/OV 5.01 over an existing version make sure that the /etc/snmpd and /etc/snmpd.conf files are removed or re-named before carrying out the upgrade. If these files are not removed or renamed, it is likely that you will see the following message when trying to re-start OV:

object manager name: netmon
behavior:            OVs_WELL_BEHAVED
state:               NOT_RUNNING
PID:                 -
last message:        Can't talk to snmpd; see /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace for
info
exit status:         exit(1)

Information left in these files causes problems for the new version of OV.

These files are not removed by the ovremove program.

SV+ Upgrade

The SV+ upgrade is not supported across different platforms. For example, an AIX-based SV+ release cannot be upgraded to a Solaris based SV+ release or vice versa. The following upgrades are not supported in this version (9.1.10):

The SV+ 8.2 or 8.4 or SV+ 9.0 to SV+ 9.1 upgrade is supported.

SV+ Database

After performing the creation of a new database by executing the SV+CreateDb command, if StrataView Plus is restarted before it is synchronized with the network, it will result in a database inconsistency. In this case, perform create_db before restarting SV+ to avoid database inconsistency.

Note Do NOT use SV+CreateDb tool for the above purpose.

The logical_connection table count for a node in SV+ database may not match the master lcon counts in that node. This will happen if the database contains FastPAD connections, or if the database has slave lcons with no connections.

If Gateway node is upgraded or rebuilt, before SV+ has synchronized with the network, SV+ needs to be cold-started (created SV+ database and restart SV+). This is required to ensure SV+ database consistency.

SV+ database and network may differ by value 1 for parameters PCR(0+1), SCR(0+1), MCR, ICR of some ATM-FR conceitedness. This happens because of the difference (rounding effect) in conversion algorithms used by SV+ and switch to convert values in cells/sec units to 100 bit/sec units.

SV+ CM GUI has text fields for the parameters PCR(0+1), SCR(0+1), MCR and ICR (all in the unit of cell/sec) on the ATM side of the ATM - FR ABR.FS provision window.

The front-end application (CM GUI) passes these values to the back-end process to setup the SNMP request PDU for the switch agent. Following are the MIB variable and the association value from the GUI:


Table 12: MIB Variables and GUI Association

MIB Variable GUI Association

atmEndptPCR

PCR(0+1)

atmEndptSCR

SCR(0+1)

atmEndptMCR

MCR

atmEndptQIR

IC

After the SNMP set request to the switch is done, the values will be deposited in the user_connection table. Following are the database table column names:


Table 13: Values for user_connection Database Table

Field in user_connection Table GUI Association

l_pir (100 bit/sec)

PCR(0+1)

l_cir (100 bit/sec)

SCR(0+1)

l_mir (100 bit/sec)

MCR

l_qir (100 bit/sec)

IC

Since the unit for those four columns are in 100 bit/sec, conversion from cell/sec to 100 bit/sec is done. The conversion algorithm results in 100 bps = ((384 * cps) + 99) / 100 as shown in the following table:


Table 14: Conversion Algorithm Summary
cell/second 100 bit/second

50

192

5760

22119

3259

12515

2834

10883


Note  The converted values for 5760, 3259 and 2834 are rounded up to the nearest 100 bit/sec.

The conversion factor used by the switch (in this case BPX 9.1) is different from that used by SV+. Therefore, after the ConnObj Robust Message update, the user_connection table would have different values for those 4 columns. See the following table with example values:

Cell/second SV+

SV+ database, intermittently, may have incomplete connections for the following reasons. When a multi-segment PVC is being added, if a node receives connection add request, but doesn't respond to SV+, SV+ backs out all the segments from the other nodes which have responded to the add request and deletes those segments from the StrataView DB. The node which didn't respond ends up having that segment. Because of this, any further attempt to add that connection, after the node becomes reachable, results in 'connection already exists' error in StrataView. However, this connection segment may or may not appear in SV+ database, depends on which node was not responsive. Here are the two example scenarios:


Figure 1: Two Segment Connection



Figure 2: Three Segment Connection


In Figure 1 and Figure 2, F1, F2 are feeder shelves, and S1 and S2 are switch nodes. If S1 becomes unreachable after receiving an add request from SV+ but before sending the response back, 'middle segment' will be added on S1 between S1 and S2. However, the connection segment details will not be there in SV+ database. After S1 becomes reachable, configuration changes will be sent to StrataView and StrataView database will be updated with the middle segment details. You can delete the incomplete connection at this time, using StrataView.

However, if F1 (or F2) is Axis shelf and it becomes unreachable after receiving add connection segment request, SV+ doesn't get updated with the end segment details, even if the node becomes reachable. The database update happens whenever the next periodic Node Resync by SV+ happens with that shelf.

Similar DB inconsistency can happen in case of delete connection operation. In this case, while a multi-segment PVC is being deleted, if a node receives connection delete request, but doesn't respond to SV+, SV+ doesn't delete this segment information from the database. This results in a dangling connection segment in SV+ DB, which doesn't exist on the node. However, this connection segment will be deleted from SV+ database eventually. The time taken for this database synch-up once the node become reachable, depends on the type of the node.

In the Figure 1 and Figure 2, if S1 becomes unreachable after receiving delete request from SV+, but before sending the response back, 'middle segment' will be deleted on S1, between S1 and S2. However, this connection segment details will not be deleted from SV+ database. Once S1 becomes reachable configuration changes will be sent to StrataView and StrataView database will be updated accordingly.

However, if F1 (or F2) is an Axis shelf and it becomes unreachable after receiving delete connection segment request, SV+ doesn't delete the end segment details from the DB, even if the node becomes reachable. The database update happens whenever the next periodic Node Resync by SV+ happens with that shelf.

Network Configuration

Any node with IP address 192.0.0.0 or 0.0.0.0 will not be displayed or stored in SV+ database. In order to configure the correct network IP address use cnfnwip command on the switch.

Each IPX/BPX/IGX/MGX 8220 node to be managed by StrataView Plus must be configured with an IP Relay IP Address (cnfnwip). The gateway node must be configured with both LAN and IP Relay IP Addresses.

The IPX/BPX routing and IPX/AF feeder modes must be configured with read and write SNMP community names. The SNMP community names "public" and "private" are configured in SV+ for GET and SET respectively as defaults.

The directly attached node (Gateway node) must be configured with IP Relay IP address before starting StrataView Plus.

Node names, IP Addresses and NWIP addresses of the nodes in a network and across networks in multiple networks scenarios, should be uniquely configured.

Service Agents

For adding a connection, the connectionIndex must be 0 (there is no need to do a GET on connAvailIndex). The actual index is internally generated by the connection service agent itself.

Connection Manager

For DAS connections, deleting an end point from a segment and later adding it to another segment at a very fast rate may result in a database inconsistency.

Test Connection and Test Delay do not work for connections routed through a Cisco virtual trunk cloud when the connection originates from an Axis or BPX midpoint.

Connection Manager GUI for preferred route displays ALL available trunks without considering the traffic class. As a result, it is possible to set a preferred route for a CBR connection traversing trunks that do not support CBR traffic.

SV+ shows the status of a connection based only on the routing segment status.

In the Connection Manager GUI, you must enter both the end points (i.e. node, shelf, slot, port) in the Add Connection window before entering any connection or midpoint parameters.

For an FRSM - ASI PVC connection, the error message "Remote SCR value out of range" generated by the remote BPX, indicates that the CIR value of the Frame Relay side is below the acceptable limit (cell rate) of the trunk between the AXIS shelf and its routing node. To correct the problem, one can increase the value of CIR. E.g., if the trunk between the AXIS shelf and the routing node is a BXM trunk, the CIR value should be at least 19.2 kbps (= 50 cell/sec).

ABR.FS connections cannot be added with default values for ATM-FR SIW connection. The 'ICR TO' value has to be changed.

Certain types of connections, such as VBR.1 or CBR, with policing parameters can't be modified by SV+ if the default was changed using the switch command line interface.

While adding three segment frame relay connections where one routing node is IGX and another is BPX, connections must be mastered on feeders connected to BPX. Attempting to master connections on feeders attached to IGX hub will generate an "Internal error" error message, and the connection will not be added.

Three segment voice and data connections can only be added when both routing nodes are IGXs.This is due to a switch software limitation.

While adding connections originating and terminating on same feeder nodes, SV+ will treat these connections as three segment connections and will add three segments (two on the same feeder node, one on the routing node) to realize this connection.

Switch software supports only ATFR and ATFST type of connections for UXM on a feeder node. SV+ does not support ATFR or ATFST for ATM to ATM connection (on Connection manager GUI select Configure->New ATM-TM connection->VBR.3) the connection type on switch CLI will show as ATFR for all 3 segments. If you select ABR.FS connection type for ATM to ATM connection (on connection manager GUI select Configure->New ATM-ATM connection->ABR.FS) the connection type on CLI will be ATFST for all 3 segments. For all other limitations of connection type supported for UXM on feeder node please refer to the switch software release notes for release 9.1.

ATM-FR connections with FR endpoint on IGX/IPX running 8.4.x switch software can not be set with channel type SIW (Service InterWorking) transparent or SIW translate. This feature is not supported by IGX/IPX running 8.4.X SWSW. The connections thus set using 9.1 Connection Manager would fail.

The default values provided by the Connection Manager GUI for the Frame Relay end point parameters Ingress/Egress ECN Threshold and DE Threshold are not the same as those provided by the connection service agent.

The Connection Manager GUI uses percentage notation for both the ECN Threshold and DE Threshold. However, the service agent MIB uses the absolute value for those MIB variables. If the defaults were used for GUI and service agent, following values would be setup for the PVC:

Parameter GUI Default Values Service Agent

Ingress ECN Threshold

10% of Ingress VC Q Depth -> 6554

6553

Ingress DE Threshold

50% of Ingress VC Q Depth -> 32768

32767

Egress ECN Threshold

10% of Egress VC Q Depth -> 6554

6553

Egress DE Threshold

50% of EGress VC Q Depth -> 32768

32767

Note The defaults for both Ingress and Egress VC Queue Depth are 65535 bytes.

The switch generates error message Failure validating remote endpoint description when the PVC was modified or deleted using SV+. The problem occurs when SV+ is managing a mix release network and the node mastering the PVC has an older release than the remote end, and the remote end point is in a newer card which was introduced after the older release. This is switch software limitation. The PVC can be deleted using the switch CLI.

Connection manager doesn't check for the SVC VPI/VCI partitioning range, if VPI value is ZERO and if SVC Hi VPI and Low VPI are set to ZERO on the switch. Because of this, VPI 0 can be used for provisioning. However, if you reserve only 0 for SVC range, Connection manager will not block the PVC provisioning.

Statistics Collection Manager

When you start a stand-alone SCM, the following message is not an error message: Cannot communicate with SV+, either SV+ is not active or another GUI is running presently.

You should select a routing node for the SCM time sync node.

For a group of selected nodes from which statistics files are to be collected by a stand-alone SCM, the collection period should be set to the same value for all nodes.

If statistics files are being saved, the SCM does not purge these files even if the disk is full.

The SCM supports 3100 nodes maximum in stand-alone mode.

For "CISCO 3800" node types, the network parameter 'Time-out period' has to be 5 seconds.

Whenever you perform a create_db operation, the statshistory.stats file must be manually deleted.

In SWSW 8.5, the following rules are used when you configure peak interval through SV+. Violating these rules will cause TFTP error 22 displayed in the SCM.

The switch needs some processing time to parse the stats.enable file. Depending on the number of statistics and the number of objects this time can be very large. Currently SCM has a finite value for time-out (maximum 420 seconds) to wait for the switch response. Hence there might be cases where SCM will time-out waiting for switch to finish parsing the stats.enable file. If there are excessive time-outs, do one of the following:

    1. Cut down on number of statistics enabled and be able to get the status of stats-enabling from SCM or

    2. Keep the number of statistics but lose the status of stats-enabling from the SCM

You can use CLI commands such as dspstatparms, dspchstatcnf, dsptrkstatcnf, dspportstatcnf and dsplnstatcnf to make sure their desired statistics are enabled. Note that there can be occasional time-outs if a node is busy for that period of time, but this case at the best is intermittent and should go away once loading on the node stabilizes Following is the formula to calculate the time to enable statistics on the switch:


		time = (stats / cnt) * delay
	where
		stats = (conns * stats_per_con) +
		          (CLNs * stats_per_cln) +
	       	          (trks * stats_per_trk) +
		          (ports * stats_per_port)

		cnt = number of stats configured in one group before giving up CPU, a configurable 		parameter on the switch.
		delay = a delay time between each group of stats get enabled, this is also a configurable parameter on switch.

This is captured in CR CSCdj39737.

Platform

SV+ must not be started from the OpenWindows Command Tool Window. If SV+ is started from Command Tool, the Command Tool may freeze the screen when Command Tool window's log buffer fills.

While SV+ is running, if the X server crashes for any reason, then SV+ should be stopped and restarted.

While SV+ is running, if remote display is killed without properly shutting down the SV+ Desktop, then reopening it remotely may not succeed.

VNS

The following limitations apply to VNS nodes:

Reports

The Wingz "Add Comment" option is not supported for virtual trunk and ATM connections. Wingz sometimes does not scroll up the list box properly.

Topology

It may occasionally take 2-3 minutes to display new nodes after addition of virtual trunks. This is due to the time required to setup link0 and link1 subscriptions.

If a blue trace is left behind on dragging a node on Network Topology, stop SV+ core processes and restart motif window manager or if possible reboot the system. Restart SV+ and check if blue trace is still left behind on dragging a node on network topology. If the problem does not go away by restarting motif window manager or rebooting the system there could be problem in the graphics card on the system. Stop SV+ core processes and edit /usr/users/svplus/.cshrc file and include the following statement in it:

setenv NWTOPOLOGY_LABEL_SHADOW off

Execute the command:

source /usr/users/svplus/.cshrc

Restart SV+ core processes.

This will disable the feature to draw the label as the node icon is being dragged on network topology map. For more detail, refer to bug # CSCdj86512.

Map Status Displays

Both NWTopology and SvOvTopology maps display the status of a routing node or a 3810 cluster node using the concept of compound status where the compounding is done by propagating the most critical status. The routing node icon on a map displays the color representing the worst case status of either the routing node or any of the feeder shelves connected to the routing node. The 3810 cluster icon similarly shows a color representing the worst case status of either the parent IGX node or any of the 3810 connected to the IGX node. The actual status of each node is displayed on the submap brought up by double-clicking on either the routing node icon or the 3810 cluster icon. The SvOvTopology map uses the different mechanism of compounding the node status by default. To display the correct node status on the SvOvTopology (also to be consistent with NWTopology map) the correct compound status propagation mechanism needs to be set. To do this, first bring up the "Map Description" dialog by clicking on Map->Maps->Describe/Modify command. Next, choose the "Propagate Most Critical" item from the selections under the "Compound Status:" label. Finally, select the "OK" button on the dialog. This setup will be saved in the HPOV database when exiting the SvOvTopology map and no further action is required until the HPOV database is cleaned up at which time this configuration must be performed again. There is no API provided by HPOV to do this configuration from the SvOvTopology application.

Default Color of Background Map

The default color of the background map can make it hard to see the color of the nodes and trunks on the map. At times it may be convenient to turn off the background map and have a solid grey background. To do this, first bring up the "Submap Description" window by clicking on the Map->Submap->Describe/Modify command. Now, delete the text from under the "Background Graphics" label and click on the "OK" button. This will replace the background map with a solid grey background. To replace the background map with another map, click on the "Browse" button in the "Submap Description" dialog mentioned above. This brings up a file selection dialog called the "Background Graphics" with a list of available GIF files. Select a GIF file and click on "OK" first in the "Background Graphics" dialog followed by in the "Submap Description" dialog. This will replace the background map. The background map selection will be in effect as long as the HPOV database is not cleared at which point the selection need to made again.

If the nodes are grouped in the topology, a double click on that group shows only the list of nodes in that group. It doesn't give access to any of those nodes. The list doesn't show the status of the node(s) also.

Network Browser

Network Browser will not come up if the color allocation fails during it's start-up, due to other active color intensive applications, like Netscape browser. However, NWBrowser process will be running in the background. So next time when you try to bring up network browser, it will not come up, since already on instance is running.

Software/Firmware Image Download

Always use the SV+ ImageDownload program to do a SW/FW download. Since SV+ does not make any assumptions on the filename, it requires you to tell the SW the filename and the path to download, avoiding any inconsistencies resulting from the file naming assumptions made by the getfwrev and loadfwrev commands. If the SV+ ImageDownload program does not work, then there is some problem with the file transfer or the image.

Specific Features Not Supported

Voice connection G729 and G729A are not supported from connection manager and service agent

Multicast, voice and data connections are not supported though service agent.

There is no support for Equipment manager GUI for Axis 4.1. Cisco View is used for equipment management of Axis 4.1.

StrataView SNMP Agent Notes

The basic SNMP Agent functionality is unchanged from release 8.2. ATM-ATM and ATM-FR cross connections are supported through the Connection Service Agent.The Port Service Agent will support a physical port addressing for FRSM and a logical port addressing for the rest of the cards. In the case of CESM and FRP, the logical port addressing is identical to physical port addressing. The structure of the SV+ 8.4 service MIB has been re-organized.

StrataView SNMP Agent Configuration Notes

The SNMP master agent is configured to use 8161 as a default port id for agent communication. The configuration file SNMPAgent.conf for the master agent is located in /usr/users/svplus/config. If you are running another Network Manager which uses port number 8161, this UDP port can be configured to some other port number in this file as follows:

Syntax:
TRANSPORT special SNMP
OVER UDP SOCKET
AT PORT 8161

The Service MIB (Connection Service MIB and Port Service MIB) uses community strings for authentication. The Connection Service Agent and Port Service Agent processes use /usr/users/svplus/config/SNMPProxy.conf file as a configuration file. The SNMP community name strings can be configured in this file as follows:

Syntax:
GET_COMMUNITY public
SET_COMMUNITY private

The SNMP community names "public" and "private" are configured in this file for GET and SET respectively as defaults.

Third Party Product Limitations Notes

The telnet command in AIX 4.x(x>= 1) has the following problem. If it is used to login to any of the StrataView nodes (BPX/IPX/IGX), the login user name and password are not taken properly and the login always fails. The workaround for this is to set the 'telnet' mode to character mode. For this enter the telnet escape character (usually combination of Control key and ']' - left square bracket -keys), which is shown on the screen as soon as the telnet command is given at 'Enter User ID:' prompt. telnet > mode character <ENTER>

Third Party Product Limitations Notes

The telnet command in AIX 4.1 (and above) has a login problem. If used to login to any of the StrataView nodes (BPX, IPX, or IGX), the login user name and password are not received properly by the workstation and the login always fails.

The workaround for this is to set the telnet session to character mode. To set the telnet session to character mode, complete the following stops:

Step 1 Enter the telnet command to connect to the remote host.

% telnet hostname
Trying 192.10.1.2...
Connected to hostname.cisco.com
Escape character is '^]'.
login:

Step 2 Enter the escape character at the login prompt (Control and right square bracket simultaneously).

login: Ctrl ]
telnet>

Step 3 Enter the following at the telnet prompt.

telnet> mode character

Step 4 Enter the login user ID and press Return.

user_ID
Password:

Step 5 Enter the password and continue as usual.

Known Anomalies in StrataView Plus 9.1.10

The following is the list of known anomalies in the 9.1.10 release of Cisco StrataView Plus software.

Bug ID Descriptions

CSCdk82083

Loop timing on CESM lines on AXIS shelf cannot be configured using Equipment Manager GUI.

CSCdk84287

SV+ Topology doesn't update the node status when the nodes become unreachable.

CSCdk89647

SV+ INSTALL fails, if there are multiple entries in /etc/hosts file with the same host name, even though they are commented.

CSCdk58425

If an IMA group has failed on AXIS shelf, PVCs in another group will be shown in failed state.

CSCdm46717

The connchk script in /usr/users/svplus/tools directory doesn't list all the incomplete connections and shows incorrect status for some of the connections.

CSCdk58425

If an IMA group has failed on AXIS shelf, PVCs in another group will be shown in failed state.

CSCdk83208

Network Browser intermittently shows nodes in sync state, though some of the cards in those node are marked as out of sync in SV+ Database card table.

CSCdk84287

SV+ Topology doesn't update the node status when the nodes become unreachable.

CSCdm46717

The connchk script in /usr/users/svplus/tools directory doesn't list all the incomplete connections and shows incorrect status for some of the connections.

CSCdr31980

Number of incomplete user connections increased at one of three CWMs in 9.1.

CSCdp43612

Intermittently, the connection manager does not see ports. The issue was with failure to get shared memory access. In a large network whenever the problem occurred, the "Failed to get shared memory" error message was displayed.

CSCdp90026

Added a CESM to CESM 3 segment T1 structured connection without a loopback on one of the CESMs. Connection manager showed an a-bit alarm for this connection. Placed a loopback on the CESM port and added more structured connections. The new connections were displayed with an OK status but after repeated refreshes, the original connection still showed an a-bit alarm. No alarms were present on AXIS or BPXs. Executed a test delay on the connection and it passed succesfully but connection manager changed the connection status to failed.

CSCdr34196

ConnProxy ABR1 MIN modify failure. A general SNMP failure occurred on the agent.

CSCdr02040

New Reports Traffic Summary reports trunk load > 100 %. A customer is producing reports using the new reports application and the Top Utlization reports displays trunks with Util > 100 %. The reports appear to be inaccurate. The trunk that these stats were collected from is a E3. The problem occurred when collecting statistics and producing the output using New reports. The customers database has been recreated but the problem remained.

CSCdr26425

New reports hangs when you run connection traffic summary report on Voice connection. Customer is running 9.1.07. I reproduced on 171.68.205.131 which is running 9.1.09 patch 7. igx28 has 3 voice connections. Lab 9.2 CWM was able to graph these same connections successfully.

CSCdm09863

Statsmanager GUI shows many time sync node timeouts. SCM is enhanced to try connecting to time sync host 15 times before giving up and record "failed" error. Previously, when connect to time sync host has an error, SCM recorded incorrectly a "timed out" error.

CSCdr46338

Statistics for "Frame Received with BECN" and "Frame Received with FECN" were enabled on StatsMgr. These items were defined as 44, 45 in StatsMgr. However, 44, 45 were defined as "44 = Unkn Prot Frms Dscd at Egress" and "45 = Cells Received from Port" in IGX.

CSCdr45344

CWM allows a frame relay connection on a UFM-U card with CIR, MIR, PIR, QIR of virtually any speed, even 5000 on a v.35 port of 256kbps. The same, when tried from the CLI of the IGX card, gives an error message saying "MIR exceeds peak". It also allows a PCR value of 5000 cps on the ATM side simultaneously. This is true when modifying the connections too.

CSCdr54592

Some problems happened when executed unGroup command. Please add in unGroup tools: -dncon/upcon about each connection. Please fix for LONG HOP COUNT Routes. Customer is using Group Connection and current SWSW Release is 8.4.21. They will soon upgrade to 9.1.xx, but SWSW 9.1 does not support 'Group Connection'. They must therefore ungroup for their connection before upgrading.

Customer had executed 'unGroup' command. Then, They had experienced two problems: (1) A-Bit=0 happened about some connections on remote AXIS (by dspchstats), and (2) Preferred Route had not been set as to the connection that HOP count was high.

Anomalies Corrected with the SV+ 9.1.10 Release

The following anomalies have been corrected with the 9.1.10 version of Cisco StrataView Plus.

BugID Description

CSCdr43788

Disabled or an expired time-limited version of XR/table. When customer opens Equipment Manager, the error message This application is built with a XR/table is displayed.

Workaround: An installation and update was performed their 9.1.09 release with the latest patch # 7.

CSCdp62721

Support for Audible Alarms has been reintroduced in release 9.1.09 but audible alarm does not work.

Workaround: Support for Audible Alarms has been reintroduced in release 9.1.09.

CSCdm88329

Unable to add HI_PRIORITY or VBR-RT connections using CMGUI. Added DAX connection between VHS cards (FR-FR connection, same card -2 ports) using CMGUI, only VBR-NRT ,ABR and UBR are highlighted and VBR-rt and HI_PRIORITY are disabled. If VBR-rt or HI_PRIORITY is selected as service type, automatically the sevice type changes to VBR-nrt while adding connections.

Workaround:From CLI, both VBR-rt and Hi_Priority type of connections can be added and same was displayed properly in CMGUI.

Note SV+ auto-install fails on AIX systems running OS release 4.2.1 or later because of a conflict between svplus group id(21) and system shutdown group id (21). This happens because AIX 4.2.1 already has a shutdown group with ID 21 and SV+ auto-installed tries to add svplus group with ID 21. As a work-around for this problem, user can run manual install by extracting SV+ image using SMIT, go to /usr/users/svplus directory and run INSTALL from that directory as `root' user.

StrataView Plus Connection Manager GUI only allows the range 1..24,000 cells for the parameter MBS of the BXM cards. BXM cards support the range 1..5,000,000 cells for MBS. This problem has been fixed Connection Manager GUI process.

CSCdk16795

An intermittent problem in topod process, because of which some of the AXIS nodes are wrongly shown as unreachable in NWBrowser has been fixed.

This problem occurs when an AXIS node has no alarm or connection problem with its routing node. During SV+ cold start, these nodes are mistakenly reported as alarm status 'clear', but mgmt_state 'unreachable'.

CSCdk21838

Communication break alarms 20016 and 20017 are not getting generated, instead 20006 and 20007 get generated. The trap numbers were changed in 9.1, the correct trap numbers are 20016 and 20017.

CSCdk23119

The default value shown for chanType in Connection Manager GUI is SIW for ATM-FR new connection window. But SIW is not supported for FR cards on switch feeders IPX/IGX. This problem has been fixed in Connection Manager GUI process.

CSCdk24081

If axis is in minor alarm and for any reason a feeder alarm for that axis is generated, there is no corresponding clear feeder alarm getting generated when the feeder alarm is cleared. This bug has been fixed in emsc process.

CSCdk25132

SV+ install fails if the target disk/slice has more than one digit. That is, if the disk that the raw-partition is being installed on has tNN, where NN is the target, the install script will fail as in the following example: /dev/dsk/c0t15d0s5. This problem has been fixed in SV+ INSTALL process.

CSCdk32996

A database inconsistency issue, where ipx_netw_id field in network table is always populated as -1, has been fixed in topod process.

CSCdk34622

Values for the column protocol_type in SV+ database table - frp for certain rows, do not match with the enumerations specified in the SV+ Database Interface Manual. This happens for protocol types - none and LMI with Async Updates. This has been fixed by update SV+ Database Interface Manual.'

CSCdk35335

SV+ SNMP Agent gets the VSVD as disabled even if VSVD is enabled on a connection. This problem has been fixed in ConnProxy process.

CSCdk37713

SV+ install overrides root users PATH environment variable. This has been fixed in SV+ install procedure.

CSCdk37805

When EMGUI is iconified and EM desktop button is pressed EMGUI does not deiconifed. This problem has been fixed in Equipment Manager GUI process.

CSCdk38099

The switch generated error messages shown on the CM GUI result window sometimes are vague to indicate the true problem.

This occurs when SV+ release 9.1 is used to provision pre 8.5 IPX/IGX frame relay PVC with channel type option as SIW-Translate or SIW-Transparent.

The SIW-Translate and SIW-Transparent channel types are not supported by the IPX/IGX switch until 8.5 release. This is a switch limitation which prohibits the creation of such PVC. No true workaround exists for pre 8.5 switch software. If SIW-Translate or SIW-Transparent feature is needed, upgrading switch software is the only solution.

The enhancement implemented on the SV+ side is to generate a more user friendly message to point out the feature is not supported by the switch running pre 8.5 switch software.

CSCdk38581

SV+ system log shows error message, even the peak value given in SCM wholly divides the collection interval and bucket interval. This has been fixed in statsmain process.

CSCdk39653

A DB inconsistency issue related to voice and data connection in user_connection and connection tables has been fixed. This problem has been fixed in emsc process. Because of this problem, when voice and data connection are added, DB doesn't get properly updated.

CSCdk42137

SV+ Service Agent will fail on adding a new CESM port that spans time slot 16, if the line is configured for CAS. This happens only when a port is added on CESM E1 card, when line is configured for CAS.

As a work-around, skip timeslot 17 in the bit map, while using Proxy Agent to do port creation with such configuration.

Further problem description: When adding a new CESM port that spans timeslot 16, the proxy will fail if the line is configured for CAS. This operation is successful when adding the port from the command line. On CESM, when an E1 line is in CAS or CAS_CRC mode timeslot 17 is allocated for signalling and can't be used for port creation. Using CLI to create a port spans timeslot 17, agent will automatically skip the timeslot. This can be verified by the timeslot bitmap in dspport. When using Proxy Agent to do port creation with such configuration, you have to skip timeslot 17 in the bitmap.

CSCdk42244

LMI setting won't change on FRSM-HS1 card in Equipment Manager GUI. When adding a new port on FRSM-HS1 with LMI protocol other than "No signalling," or modifying the LMI setting, Equipment Manager GUI will return back to the original setting when it prompts "Completed."

Further Problem Description:

1. When adding a port on a FRSM-HS1 card, if select protocol type other than "No signalling" in LMI parameter field, the result box will print "Wrong Value", and all setting in LMI parameter field return back to No signalling.

Go back to the port selection window and hit Apply button again shows that the port was added and the LMI parameters were set correctly.

2. When modifying a port on a FRSM-HS1 card, after apply the change the result window shows Completed but the LMI parameter field go back to "No signalling" (the default setting). Re-select the port for modification shows that the port parameters did not get changed.

CSCdk42752

A problem in topod process, where it doesn't populate its internal node cache with SV+ gateway field has been fixed.

The SV+ gateway field is the key to link0/link1 IP reachability trap generation. Without the clear indication whether a node is SV+ gateway, the current link0/link1 IP reachability capability would generate traps twice for the SV+ gateway node.

CSCdk42768

A functional inconsistency in Network Browser process in reporting state of AXIS nodes and state of routing nodes has been fixed.

CSCdk43249

bc (back card) value is not updated properly in connection table when creating a FR-FR connection using Connection Manager. A wrong value of 65535 is stored always.

CSCdk44179

Slot dialog in Connection Manager shows slot 0 when selecting Voice and Data slots on an IPX node. This problem occurs when using SV+ 9.1 to manage 8.4 IPX node. This problem has been fixed in emsc process.

CSCdk44435

SV+ Connection Manager does not allow the "Signalling pass through" option be changeable during pvc addition on CESM structured port. The problem only occurs when the CESM structured port speed is greater than 64Kbps (more than 1 T1/E1 timeslot).

There is no work-around to this problem, other than changing the option from AXIS CLI.

Further Problem Description: The "Signalling pass through" option is applicable for any CESM structured port no matter the structured port included only one or more than one timeslots.

CSCdk45518

After a FRP port is deleted, it takes sometimes before it can be added back, even though SNMP get on the port confirms that the port is deleted. The wait is usually more than 30 seconds. This has been fixed in ConnProxy process.

Further problem description: This is a timing issue. After the port is deleted, if an attempt to add back that port is done immediately, ConnProxy may not allow you to do so. The reason is ConnProxy goes to the DB to check for port existence. And if it happens that the robust message has not come from the network to update the FRP table, ConnProxy thinks the port still exists and hence reject the add operation. The fix is to remove the DB port existence check, and forward the add request to the switch to let it determine if the port exists or not.

CSCdk45650

PVC Failed trap 25011 sent when AXIS switch to secondary FRSM card and the PVC is shown in failed state. This happens when secondary FRSM-8 card takes over from primary FRSM-8 card in a redundant card setup in AXIS shelf.

Further Problem Description:

When switch from a primary FRSM-8 card to a secondary FRSM-8 card on an AXIS shelf, a PVC failed trap is sent from SV+ and on Connection Manager the connection will be in Failed state and later on back to clear state. In OpenView/NetView trap log, you will see User Connection Failed followed by User Connection Clear traps.

CSCdk46980

The MIB definitions for svConnAlarmLocalEndNNI and svConnAlarmRemoteEndNNI do not correspond to the OID values being sent in the PVC traps.

The MIB defines these variables as:

1.3.6.1.4.1.351.1.101.1.17.1.10

1.3.6.1.4.1.351.1.101.1.17.1.11

The Trap sends:

1.3.6.1.4.1.351.1.101.1.17.1.12

1.3.6.1.4.1.351.1.101.1.17.1.13

This has been fixed in databroker process.

CSCdk47096

SV+ sends trap 20003 instead of trap 20011 for UFM port alarms.

CSCdk47462

SV+ still reports 1000 - 1003 event log traps are reported, instead of 1004 - 1007. With this fix only 1004 - 1007 event log traps will be generated with one less varbind than the original 1000 - 1003 traps.

CSCdk48096

Trap 20009 doesn't have slot number as part of the trap format. The format and definition have been updated in SV+ Network MIB.

CSCdk48105

Trap 20009 doesn't provide line number in UXM IMA set up on IGX nodes. This problem has been fixed in emsc process.

CSCdk52835

An intermittent DB inconsistency problem, in which an incomplete PVC(ATM-FR) shown as complete, has been fixed. This problem has been fixed in databroker process.

The problem only occurs intermittently during PVC provisioning when the node of the ATM side is not responding and the traps from the AXIS node arrive not in a timely manner.

CSCdk52899

Typographical errors for trap reason codes 92 and 4005 have been fixed in Network MIB.

CSCdk53210

SV+ Topology map doesn't reflect the correct status of ESP nodes. This problem has been fixed in topod process.

CSCdk53307

Error message "Other end CIR out of range for this end card" is returned when adding or modifying ATM-ATM/ATM-FR 2-segment or 3-segment connection.

This problem occur only when there is a BXM card on the routing segment of the connection and CIR is set to < 19.2k or SCR is set to < 50.

Further problem description: SV+ is enhanced to round up the SCR parameter to 50 for the routing segment if you are adding or modifying the end segment CIR to < 19.2k or SCR < 50. In a 3-seg con case, the end segments will have the user-configured value for CIR or SCR while the middle segment will have SCR=50.

CSCdk53395

SV+ Connection Proxy doesn't use user-input values to set the parameters HiCLP, LoClp, VCQSize, EfciQSize, IBS for ATM-FR connections on AUSM cards in AXIS shelves.

CSCdk53677

Percent utilization set for connections modified using ConnMgr GUI is not updated properly in database as well as on switch. This problem happens only for FRP-FR DAX connections or 2 segment FRP DAX connections (defined as a 2 segment connection where the routing segment is a DAX connection, and the user endpoint on the routing segment is FRP).

SV+ ConnMgr GUI allows you to configure the percent utilization on these types of connection. The Modify Connection screen confirms the modified percent utilization parameters. However, the switch CLI display shows the old percent utilization. In fact, the segment entry in the segment table of SV+ database still shows the old percent utilization value.

CSCdk54230

A problem in StrataView subsystems related to synch-up with network has been fixed. This problem occurs usually in large network setup and due to this problem StrataView could take more time to synch-up with the network.

Connection Manager GUI doesn't list ATM-FR PVCs, when you select the view from FR end. This problem has been fixed in Connection Manager GUI process.

CSCdk55470

Can not delete a 2 segment ATM-CE connection, if the connection was added with CE as local endpoint.

Workaround:

Add 2-segment with ATM being the local endpoint.

After an add, click on the Apply button to list that newly added connection again. Then delete. The apply button triggers CM GUI to get the connection from user_connection table. The query will result in ATM being the local end.

CSCdk55524

CSCdk57648

In SV+ Topology, once a group has been created by collecting a set of routing nodes, there is no way to access the individual routing nodes without deleting the group. This problem has been fixed in NWTopology process.

To access nodes and trunks in a group, two different dialogs - NodeListDialog and TrunkListDialog - have been implemented. The NodeListDialog provides a list of all the nodes in a group along with information about the nodes. Admin, Display Shelf, and SW/FW Images command are provided on the dialog in the form of buttons. The NodeShelfDialog can be invoked by:

1 .Double clicking on the group

1 .Pressing the right button on the group and then invoking the "Display Node List" command from the popup menu

2 .From the Group->Display Node List pull down menu

Steps (2) & (3) allow you to bring up the TrunkListDialog.

CSCdk59072

SV+ forwards trap 20000 in corrupted format. This problem has been fixed in emsc process.

CSCdk60151

StrataView looses registration with AXIS shelves. This happened because of increase of keep-alive timeout in rtm process, by passing `-k 6000' arguments to rtm from /usr/users/svplus/config/watchdog.conf file. To fix this watchdog.conf file has been updated to not to pass `-k 6000' arguments to rtm process.

CSCdk60249

An unexpected exit problem in Connection Manager GUI has been fixed. This happens when `.' (dot) is entered as port number in Port # field and when Apply button is pressed. Fix has been put in to flag an error message if there is any illegal character entered in this field.

SV+ INSTALL, while installing CiscoView files, displays the error "ERROR: file /usr/users/svplus/wancv/BPX.pkg not found. Exiting". This problem has been fixed in SV+ INSTALL process.

CSCdk63006

Connection Manager GUI, shows incomplete info for data connections. This happens if there are connections with channel number 255 (the permissible range is 2 to 32) in the database. If a connection with channel number 255 is added Connection Manager GUI complains that it is out of range, but continues to add the connection. This problem has been fixed in Connection Manager GUI process.

CSCdk63619

A DataBase inconsistency problem has been fixed in emd and emc processes. This happens when a node gets deleted (leachability) and re-added, and if the management of that node is given to a different emc process than the one previously managing it. In this situation there was a race condition where the previous emc process would be deleting the objects of this node, while the new emc process is getting the objects from the node and updating the database.

Installation fails with the message "RESIDENT_VAL: Undefined variable". This problem has been fixed in INSTALL procedure.

CSCdk64179

RTM process abnormally exits if you specify Log level 5 in /usr/users/svplus/watchdog.conf file. This does not have any implication as log level 5 is not enabled by default. The regular logging level is 2. Higher logging is only required for getting debugging information during development or when there is some problem reported. There is not problem if Log level 4 is enabled for RTM.

CSCdk65319

SV+ Network Browser doesn't come up if color map allocation fails during its startup. This problem has been fixed in NWBrowser process.

This problem has been fixed in statsmain process.CSCdk67145: SCM will skip sending request to tftp GET the statistics file for some nodes in a random pattern. This results in missing statistics in the database. This problem has been fixed in statsmain process.

CSCdk67623

SV+ doesn't get registered with AXIS shelves for a long time. If the first attempt to get registered with the axis fails due to axis agent timeout or other SNMP error and the short timeout (in secs) command line option (-s) is set to a high value for rtm process in /usr/users/svplus/config/watchdog.conf file.

Further Problem Description: This problem is fixed by decoupling the use of the short timeout value in the error retry delay scenario. Now, the short timeout value is used only for timeout getting response from snmpcomm. This short timeout can be set to a higher value to avoid too many repeated requests sent to snmpcomm while it's busy and end up flooding its message queue. A new command line option "-d" is introduced to set the error retry delay time in seconds. This error retry delay time is used if response is received from snmpcomm but the request failed. In this case, rtm will retry (resend the request) after the error retry delay time. The default for this retry delay is 60s if its not set.

CSCdk67623

INSTALL takes long time. This problem has been fixed in INSTALL script. INSTALL used to take a long time because it used to uninstall CiscoView packages and then reinstall them again regardless of whether you need the packages or not. Now the INSTALL script accepts the user input and if the you need to install packages, it does so else it skips the installation of the CiscoView package files.

CSCdk70434

Test delay feature from SV+ Connection Manager GUII doesn't function, if the SNMP community strings in /usr/users/svplus/config/svplus.conf files are changed, from the default public for GET community and private for SET community, before Connection Manager GUI startup.

CSCdk72506

SV+ Topology sometimes shows grey text on grey background (state of the node). The contrast between the foreground text in dark grey and the background in light grey is low when a row listing an unreachable node is selected in the NodeShelf dialog of SV+ Topology.

The lowered contrast is caused by the fact that by default the color of the cell displaying the alarm is reversed when the row is selected.

This problem has been fixed in NWTopology process by making sure that the color inversion doesn't take place during the row selection. Also, the contrast has been enhanced by displaying text in bold as well using a color which is opposite of the background color. A text color of white is used when the background is either dark grey (unreachable alarm) or red (major alarm) and black is used when the background is either yellow (minor alarm) or green (no alarm).

CSCdk72509

A selected node or trunk in SV+ Topology is displayed in a different color (purple) than the regular alarm color. Selection of node/trunk is required to execute pull-down menu commands that require either node or trunk as an argument. The normal behavior is a selected node/trunk stay that way (hiding the alarm) until it is deselected or another node/trunk is selected. The problem is when a node/trunk is double-clicked on to bring up a dialog and in the process the node/trunk gets selected although it is not intended. This problem has been fixed in NWTopology process.

The problem has been fixed by making sure that before bringing up a dialog on a node/trunk as a result of a double-click on it, the node/trunk is deselected. However, if a node/trunk is selected and then a pull-down menu command is invoked to bring up a dialog, the node/trunk would continue to be selected even after the dialog has gone away. In this case the node/trunk has to be implicitly deselected.

CSCdk72513

An unexpected exit problem in SV+ Topology, when a group icon is selected and the Component->Node->Display Shelf command is invoked, has been fixed.

CSCdk72519

SV+ Topology main map doesn't show the background map while overview map of topology shows the background map. This has been fixed in NWTopology process.

This problem happens, if the configuration is saved when the background map is turned off. On subsequent restart of NWTopology, the main map gets displayed without the background map but the overview map comes up with the background map. Turning on the background map layer on the main map toggles the display of background map on the overview window.

CSCdk73834

Configuration Restore to BPX/IGX/IPX does not use block size specified in the /usr/users/svplus/config.sv file. As a result of this, the configuration restore process doesn't show any performance improvement, even after increasing the block size in /usr/users/svplus/config.sv file.This problem has been fixed in configd process.

CSCdk75077

No statistics option appears in Wingz reports menu. This happens because of the missing Wingz worksheet and configuration files from SV+ 9.1 distribution.

CSCdk75148

StrataView plus doesn't receive some of the traps intermittently. This problem has been observed with port delete trap. This problem has been fixed in rtm process.

Further problem description: The problem is that rtm process resets KeepAlive Timer (of the src agent) every time when it receives a trap from that agent. If the KeepAlive timer does not get expired, no KeepAlive (SNMPGET ManagerRowStatus) will be sent. So, in a scenario where traps are received continuously from agent by rtm, rtm will delay sending the keepalive everytime it receives a trap. After 30 minutes of continuous trap receipt, the agent will then deregister the trapmgr entry since no keepalive is received from SV+.

CSCdk75845

SV+ SNMP Proxy agent doesn't filter some of the traps like 50600, 50800, 50018, 50500, 50501, 50502, 50021, 50020, 50131, 50303, 25000, 25001, 25002. This trap filter list is installed in /usr/users/svplus directory as rtmIgnoreTraps file. This problem happened because rtmIgnoreTraps file was not included in SV+ distribution.

CSCdk76234

The existing SV+ configuration files are lost during StrataView plus upgrade. The StrataView Plus installation process has been enhanced to restore user configuration files from previously saved set. You can follow the following procedure:

The files you want to save are listed in /usr/users/svplus/config/files_to_be_saved with their full path. For example, if /usr/users/svplus/config.sv has to be saved, add this entire path in the files_to_be_saved file. The names should be one per line. Care should be taken to ensure that the file files_to_be_saved always contains the entry /usr/users/svplus/config/files_to_be_saved.

Stop SV+ processes

Run /usr/users/svplus/install/saveConfig. This will save all the files which are listed in /usr/users/svplus/config/files_to_be_saved in /tmp/.saved.sv.

The SV+ INSTALL process has been upgraded to restore config files from this saved set.

CSCdk76868

SV+ Connection Proxy fails to add CAS connections on CESM-8E1 port if the value of svCEEndPointCAS object is set to 2 (yes). This problem has been fixed in ConnProxy process.

CSCdk78372

RtmProxy process is not configured with large timeout value in /usr/users/svplus/config/watchdog.conf file. Because of this any trap manager that is registered with RtmProxy process times out frequently. RtmProxy line /usr/users/svplus/config/watchdog.conf file has been updated to:

RtmProxy on. RtmProxy -k 2147483647

CSCdk78908

socketd process exits in an unexpected manner, if CDE server in whose environment SV+ processes are running, exits abnormally. This problem has been fixed in socketd process.

When the CDE session exit, all process with the TTY associated gets SIGHUP signal. socketd does not have handler for this signal that why it exit. When it exit, it does not kill other processes.

CSCdk81857

SV+ doesn't get registered with AXIS shelves for a long time. If the first attempt to get registered with the axis fails due to axis agent timeout or other SNMP error and the short timeout (in seconds) command line option (-s) is set to a high value for rtm process in /usr/users/svplus/config/watchdog.conf file.

This problem is fixed by decoupling the use of the short timeout value in the error retry delay scenario. Now, the short timeout value is used only for timeout getting response from snmpcomm. This short timeout can be set to a higher value to avoid too many repeated requests sent to snmpcomm while its busy and end up flooding its message queue. A new command line option "-d" is introduced to set the error retry delay time in seconds. This error retry delay time is used if response is received from snmpcomm but the request was failed. In this case, rtm will retry (resend the request) after the error retry delay time. The default for this retry delay is 60s if its not set.

CSCdk84211

SV+ Service MIB has incorrect range and description for atmEndPointVpi MIB object if the ATM end point is on a NNI port. For UNI port, VPI range is 0-255. For NNI port, VPI range is 0-4095.

CSCdk84820

Inconsistencies between ConnMgr GUI, SV+Service MIB, strata MIB for minimum values of RateUp/RateDown on ABRFS connections on ASI/BXM/BNI cards in BPX and UXM card in IGX has been fixed. Minimum value for RateDown is 1 on BPX/IGX. For RateUp minimum value is 0, for ASI/BXM/BNI cards on BPX and 7 for UXM cards on IGX.

CSCdk84925

SV+ Connection Manager GUI does not show the preferred route properly. This problem occurs when the preferred route contains routing node having "-" as part of the node name. This problem has been fixed in Connection Manager GUI process.

Error "Cmgr: nodeName: 0129/99 11:10:38 from Mgr xx.xx.xx.xx :: SET AtmEndptTable Row 1001343 (MODIFY) Local SCR must not exceed PCR(0+1) (10) Agent:Nodename(xx.xx.xx.xx):Agent reported General Error." is return when adding or modifying ATM-ATM/ATM-FR 2-segment or 3-segment connection.

This problem occur only when there is a BXM card on the routing segment of the connection and CIR is set to < 19.2k or SCR and PCR are set to < 50.

As a fix to this problem cmgrd process has been enhanced to round up the SCR and PCR parameter to 50 for the routing segment if you are adding or modifying the end segment CIR to < 19.2k or SCR < 50. In a 3-seg con case, the end segments will have the user configured value for CIR or SCR while the middle segment will have SCR=50 and PCR = 50.

CSCdk86224

AXIS shelves become unreachable, if different SNMP community strings, other than the defaults settings, for non AXIS nodes are given in /usr/users/svplus/config/svplus.conf file. This problem has been fixed in rtm process.

As a work-around to this SV_COMMUNITY string in /usr/users/svplus/config/svplus.conf file can be changed to public and the GET community string on non-AXIS nodes. Set community string can be something other than the default value private.

CSCdk87682

An SV+ station using Net View reports the error "WARNING!! StrataView Topology submaps are not updating. Either SV+ core process are not running, or there is already an OVW session on this display", during startup OpenView processes. This problem was observed in SV+ 9.1.03 (AXI) Patch1 with NetView 5.0. This happens because of wrong default base port usage during SvOvTopology launch.

Workaround: Change the base port option in /usr/users/svplus/OV/registration/C/SV_registration file. Application "DAS/DNS Config" Command -Shared -Initial -Restart "/usr/users/svplus/svOvLaunch.s SvOvTopology -b 19500" and restart Net View.

CSCdk88603

SV+ service agent doesn't check whether ATM port type is UNI or NNI for VPI range. The ConnProxy process has been fixed the following ranges. For AUSM card: vpi range is 0-255 for UNI & NNI. For ASI/BXM/UXM: vpi range is 0-255 for UNI and 0-4095 for NNI

CSCdk88677

StrataView NewReports show only performance data if plot duration is selected as TOD. Also the Start Date field must be left empty, otherwise the error "Stop date/time must be later than start date/time" occurs.

CSCdk89004

PVC addition using Connection Proxy agent between CESM 8T1 to CESM 8T1 cards fails with the error "Parameter modification for add channel failed". This problem has been fixed in ConnProxy process. This problem happens because EndPortMaxBugSize defaults to value 10000 in ConnProxy.

As a work-around to this one can set value of svCeEndPointBufMaxSize to any value between CDVRxt time 0.7 to 9216 for CESM T1 connections.

CSCdk89167

SV+ ConnProxy reports that CIR, MIR must be greater than or equal to 19200 on remote FR end, if local end is UXM/BXM, while provisioning ATM-FR connections. This problem has been fixed in ConnProxy process. For FRP, FRM, UFM (FR cards on switches) the restriction on CIR, MIR is that both must be greater than or equal to 19,200. This condition is not valid for FRSM cards in AXIS shelves.

CSCdk89368

StrataView may intermittently loose Link 0 /Link 1 access to all the switches in the network, Topology may not get updates for any kind of alarm on the switch. This was observed only one time and that too in a very large network environment, after a network outage due to user error. The problem has been fixed in topod process.

Workaround: SV+ can stopped and re-started.

CSCdk89649

StrataView install fails if there multiple entries in the /etc/hosts file with the same host name. It happens even if the entries are commented out.

CSCdk89934

atmEndPointRateDown value description in SV+Service.mib states that range is 0 to 100 for abr-fs.

For abr-fs, range should be 1-100%. SV+Service.mib has been modified accordingly.

CSCdk90547

The display of SV+ GUIs like Connection Manager, Stats Collection Manager, malfunction in CDE environment.

For CDE support a file called ConnMgr in /usr/users/svplus/app-defaults has been added to SV+ distribution, which specifies the font that should be used when the application is started in CDE. The INSTALL process of SV+ makes a soft link to the above file in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults directory, so that the font details for SV+ Connection Manager GUI are known to CDE.

The window sizes for the SV+ GUI processes like Connection Manager, Stats Collection Manager have been modified, as CDE in some cases need a bigger window size to accommodate all the window components.

The font sizes in other related applications have also been modified wherever needed.

CSCdk91186

A database updated problem in emc process, due to which the node table in StrataView DataBase is not updated with the firmware release of AXIS shelves, has been fixed. This problem happens only with AXIS shelves with IP addresses X.0.0.X where X > 0.

CSCdk91581

In a large network (having several hundred nodes), the redundant state changes (redundant messages between SV+ processes) could potentially cause a deadlock between SV+ processes.

CSCdk92390

SV+ INSTALL procedure fails with a error message ` Unmatched `.

CSCdk92485

An intermittent deadlock problem between processes emd and topod has been fixed by throttling number of keep alive messages sent by rtm process to AXIS shelves during one iteration. The deadlock was caused by a blocked by emd process, which was sending axis link status messages to topod. These messages were caused by windup/down messages sent to emd by rtm.

CSCdk92758

A configured preferred route on a PVC is not removable from Connection Manager GUI. This problem has been fixed Connection Manager GUI. As part of this solution Configure button in Connection Manager GUI is not grayed out, when a Clear Preferred route button is selected.

CSCdk93082

If a connection added through switch CLI is modified using Connection Manager GUI, the connection stops working and the connection type gets changed. This happens intermittently. This has been observed when a FR-ATM connection of ATFXFST type is added on switch and CIR value is modified from Connection Manager GUI. The connection stopped working and the type has been changed to SPFTVBR. This problem has been fixed in databroker process.

This problem is related to some timing issue, depending on the order in which SV+ receives the add conn robust message from the devices. The problem could occur if SV+ receives add conn message from the node on FR end of the connection before it gets the message from ATM side (BPX). As soon as the add fr conn message is received, databroker populates the conn in the DB as a complete connection. Since it does not know the atm endpoint subtype at this point of time, it arbitrarily picks VBR as the subtype of the connection.

The fix is to check the foresight flag on the FR endpoint. If it is ON, populate it as a ABR.FS connection, otherwise VBR connection.

CSCdk93192

SV+ Connection Proxy updates the ICR value while adding or modifying an ATM-ATM ABR1 connection. This behavior is inconsistent with SV+ Connection Manager where ICR field is grayed out while adding/modifying an ATM-ATM ABR1 connection. This problem has been fixed in ConnProxy process.

CSCdm00124

SV+ Network Browser shows that status of 3810 device as unreachable, though 3810 is displayed as reachable in SV+ Network Topology map. As a fix to this problem the management state of a 3810 will no longer be shown as unreachable in Network Browser. Instead a -- would be shown to indicate that the status is not known.

CSCdm01892

SV+ Connection Manager GUI shows ports on cards, which are removed from the nodes, in PortHelpDialog box. This problem has been fixed Connection Manager GUI.

CSCdm02239

SV+ fails to populate database with collected narrow band trunk statistics. This problem has been fixed in statsparser process.

CSCdm03319

SV+ Connection proxy agent fails to modify an existing ATM connection, with atmEndPointMinAdjustPeriod set to a value less than 20. This behavior is inconsistent with SV+ Connection Manager where it allows this value and successfully modifies the connection. This problem has been fixed in ConnProxy process.

CSCdm04691

A problem in watchdog process and some of backend processes which make them terminated or exited in an unexpected manager has been fixed. The problem occurs when control-C is pressed from the same shell script session as the initial SV+ launch. This happens if you press control-C without exiting SV+ menu.

Further Problem Description:

When control-C is pressed, the Unix kernel sends it to all processes in the same process group. SV+ processes inherited the process group ID from the SV+ launch script. However, some SV+ processes treat control-C as termination request. When they voluntarily exit, watchdog try to restart them again. The problem has been fixed now in a way such that SV+ daemon processes no longer inherit the launch script's process group ID.

CSCdm05611

SV+ Connection Proxy agent fails to add AUSM PVCs if UPC parameters are not specified. The connection addition attempt fails with a error message which says "Wrong ingrQCLPHighThresh value". This problem has been fixed in ConnProxy process.

CSCdm06929

If SV+ window (x-term or shell session from which SV+ menu is used) is closed while stop SV+ core processes option is being executed, some of the SV+ processes may not be stopped properly. Because, of this SV+ doesn't come up properly, when it is started next.

Workaround: This problem has been fixed in stop core processes procedure of SV+.

CSCdm07087

SV+ Port Proxy agent fails to add a port on CESM-8E1 card, with the error "svCesmPortTable is not supported for the card: CESM-8" This problem has been fixed in PortProxy process.

CSCdm07324

svPlusL1.log file in /usr/users/svplus/log directory gets the entry "[ConnProxy]GetActiveInsdHostFromFile: fopen[/usr/users/svplus/config/insd.conf, error[2]" added to it very frequently. This happens while ConnProxy process is running. This problem has been fixed in ConnProxy process.

CSCdm09211

SV+ Connection Proxy agent doesn't accept value 0 for atmEndPointRateUP on ATM end point side of ATM-FR ABRFS and ATM-ATM ABRFS connections. This problem has been fixed in ConnProxy process.

CSCdm09292

SV+ imageDonwLoad process fails to download firmware images for FRSM-HS1/B V35 cards in AXIS shelves, from SV+ Topology. This problem has been fixed in imageDownLoad process.

CSCdm09566

SV+ SCM, in integrated environment, fails during startup with the error message "Can't communicate with SV+. Either SV+ is not running or another GUI is already running". The problem has been fixed in SV+ statsmgr process.

CSCdm09844

On SV+ station OpenView reports the error "WARNING!! StrataView Topology submaps are not updating. Either SV+ core process are not running, or there is already an OVW session on this display.", during OpenView processes startup. This problem was observed in SV+ 9.1.06 This happens because of wrong default base port usage during SvOvTopology launch.

Workaround: User can change the base port option in /usr/users/svplus/OV/registration/C/SV_registration file. Application "DAS/DNS Config" Command -Shared -Initial -Restart "/usr/users/svplus/svOvLaunch.s SvOvTopology -b 19500"and restart OpenView.

CSCdm10618

Connection Manager GUI does not reflect correct connection status of AUSM 8. This problem has been fixed in emc.

The connection manager shows a OK/A-Bit Alarm status on the connections instead of Fail/A-bit status or "Failed" status instead of "OK" status, if a loopback is disabled or enabled on the port on which this connection exists. This problem happens if there is a connection exists on a AUSM 8 port card in a AXIS shelf, and if user enables loopback from a disabled state or disables from a enabled state from Equipment Manager GUI.

The above problem has been observed in SV+ 8.4.12 managing AXIS 4.0.16 shelf with AUSM 8 cards.

Workaround: User can do node resync on the AXIS shelf from Equipment Manager

CSCdm11697

PVC addition using Connection Proxy agent on a AXIS shelf running release 5.0 and above fails with the error message "Invalid release for AXIS". This has been fixed in ConnProxy process.

CSCdm11833

SV+ Connection Proxy agent fails to modify PCR01 value on ATM-ATM or ATM-FR connections, to a smaller value. This problem has been fixed in ConnProxy process.

CSCdm12818

SV+ Connection proxy agent fails to add a PVC with SCR greater than or equal to 14732 CPS, on AUSM IMA ports. This problem has been fixed in ConnProxy process.

CSCdm12903

SV+ Connection Manageru GUI and Connection Proxy agent do not allow setup of UPC parameters like atmEndPointEfci, atmEndPointHiCLP, atmEndPointLoCLP, atmEndPointVcQSize, atmEndPointIBS on ATM-ATM connections for Ausm on AXIS shelf. The problem has been fixed in cmgrd process.

Further problem description: The setting of UPC Parameters for Ausm for ATM-ATM connection is not supported in earlier releases of SV+ 9.1. The setting of UPC parametrs for Ausm is only supported for ATM-FR connections.

CSCdm15341

After repeatedly opening and closing the SV+ Desktop a time may when it will not be possible to have a working Desktop anymore. The NWTopology process will print the warning:

WARNING: NWTopology - Failed to connect to topod.

Will wait for 60 secs and try again.

NWTopology exits after repeating this warning 5 times at which time Desktop will exit as well.

This problem has been fixed in NWTopology process.

CSCdm15502

SV+ install script gives the error "/tmp/.saved_sv:No such file or directory". Also it tries to install older version of WANCV, even if it finds a latest version WANCV files on the system. This problem has been observed in SV+ 9.1.06.

The error messge problem has been fixed in INSTALL scripts. WANCV release notes has been udpated to caution the user, that while installing if WANCV prompts the user whether to install a older version of WANCV software or not, user is required to decline by typing No.

CSCdm15555

SV+ installation doesn't have an option to upgrade from a previous releases of 9.1 to the current release of 9.1. This problem has been fixed in INSTALL scripts

CSCdm38892

Intermittently SV+ desktop might not be able to bring Equipment Manager GUI upon selection to manage release 4.0.X AXIS shelves. This problem has been fixed in Desktop process.

CSCdm39168

SV+ Connection Manager GUI doesn't show the right A-bit status of the connection, when a loop back is removed and added back. Connection Manager GUI shows the A-bit status as failed, though the switch has it in OK/Clear status.

CSCdm41838

SV+ database shows a non-existent connection in the network. This happens even after starting the StrataView process after creating the database using "create_db" utility. This problem happens intermittently and has fixed in create_db tool.

CSCdm42155

An intermittent exit problem in eventd process has been fixed. Because of this problem, the following error message is continuously shown on SV+ console:

"<write_till_finish>: write failed,errno=32,wrote 0 of 2 bytes, ...."

The problem usually happens when a lot of alarm messages are received by SV+ from the switch. This has been observed only in large network environment. The problem has been fixed in eventd process.

CSCdm43968

Corrected Anomalies Rolled Up From the SV+ 9.0 Release

The following anomalies of the 9.0 release of StrataView Plus have been corrected and rolled into the 9.1.07 release of StrataView Plus.

Bug ID Descriptions

CSCdk08930

A problem related to managing more than 9 networks in emd process has been fixed. This problem shows up in the form of the emd process dying and getting restarted multiple times. This in turn makes the SV+ database to be inconsistent with the status and configuration of Axis nodes in the network.

This has been noticed in a multi-network environment where there are more than 8 networks being managed by SV+.

The problem was caused by the fact that topod was busy when emd comes up and tries to register with topod. This has been fixed by making sure that topod doesn't subscribe to the network before all the core clients including emd have registered so that the client will be able to register successfully. Also a retry mechanism has been implemented in emd.

CSCdk17392

In Connection Manager GUI, DE to CLP mapping is not available for FR-ATM connections. This problem has been fixed in Connection Manager GUI process by enabling the "Set CLP Zero" and "Set CLP One" for Channel types SIW-Transparent and SIW-Translate.

Corrected Anomalies Rolled Up From the SV+ 8.4 Release

The following anomalies of the 8.4 release of StrataView Plus have been corrected and rolled into the 9.1.07 release of StrataView Plus.

Bug ID Descriptions

CSCdj59952

When using the MIB browser in NetView for BPX node in the StrataView map, the nodename is postfixed -BPX. As a result MIB browser doesn't understand if this name is given.

In release SV+ 8.4.10 in the routing level map, all bpx nodes label and selection names are constructed from node names suffixed with "-hub". In the feeder level map, the label and selection name of the core shelf are the same as the node name. Select the core shelf for the BPX node in the feeder level map to launch MIB Browser. For IPX, IGX and AXIS, select the respective node and launch MIB Browser. The name/IP address displayed in the MIB Browser will be correct.

As a work-around for the above problem the core shelf for the BPX node can be selected from the feeder level map. Then from the Misc menu, if SNMP MIB Browser is selected, the name/IP address displayed in the MIB Browser will be correct.

CSCdj92179

The operation for modification of preferred route only through SV+ connection proxy agent is deemed not efficient. A performance enhancement targeted to this specific operation has been done in ConnProxy and cmgrd processes.

CSCdk09192

A problem in configd process which makes the loadcnf command given from BPX/IPX/IGX CLI abort has been fixed. This could happen if IP network is prone to drop packets. When configuration packets going from SV+ to a switch get dropped, the retry (retransmission) mechanism in SV+ does not work and loadcnf aborts.

The work-around for this to use loadcnf command on the switch when the network is less used.

CSCdk11108

SV+ SNMP proxy returns no variable found, when a query is made on MIB variable svMapLogicalPort for non-channelize frsm-8 card. This problem has been fixed in PortProxy process.

CSCdk21635

Non existing trunk appear intermittently on SV+ Topology and NetView Topology maps. This problem has been observed in SV+ 8.4 usually after swithcc operation is done on 8.4 SWSW network. The problem has been fixed in topod process.v

CSCdk22603

SCM appears to get stuck when it is trying to reach timesync host. This problem could happen in either of these conditions.

1 .Time Sync host is not reachable

2 . Network responds after a period close to the (sync with timesync host) retry time.

This problem has been fixed in statsmain process. With this fix the default retry time to sync with timesync host is 5 minutes and this can be set to anywhere from 4 to 14 minutes by a environment variable TIMESYNCPERIOD.

When the above problem happens one can exit SCM and set this TIMESYNCPERIOD to a value more than network response time for timesync host status and then start SCM. This time if timesync host is not reachable, you will be able to change the timesync host from SCM in NodeConfig parameters.

Further Problem Description: There was a problem in the way the time sync host was contacted by SCM. If the time sync host was unreachable then a particular host may kept on gutting retried.

CSCdk30217

Different SNMP community strings other than the default settings are not supported for VNS. VNS is shown as unreachable on SV+ if the SNMP community strings on VNS are changed from default. This problem has been fixed in rtm process.

CSCdk36049

SV+ database table 'column1' shows wrong information in column 'l_line'; the l_line field has value 255. This problem applies to circuit lines on IPX, IGX and BPX only. This problem has been fixed in emsc process.

CSCdk36749

Equipment Manager GUI shows 'wrong value' error message when a port is added on FRSM-HS1 with X.21 back card. This problem has been fixed in Equipment Manager GUI process. This problem can occur in the following ways:

  • Add a new port on FRSM-HS1/X.21 card with CLLM disabled and LMI signalling protocol set to Annex ANNI.

  • Make sure that the newly added port has "Rcv Status Timer" value other than 1000.

  • Add another new line and new port on that line with signalling enabled and CLLM disabled. Equipment Manager GUI shows 'wrong value' error message now.

CSCdk36752

An intermittent problem in SV+ install where the install process hangs has been fixed. The problem is in ilog_cleanup tool which is used by the install process.

CSCdk45447

A problem in Equipment Manger GUI, where it displays incorrect information if a slot number field on Equipment Manager: Configure Port Dialog is changed, has been fixed.

CSCdk50180

Equipment Manager GUI, displays "Port configured does not match the current filter" error message, after a port is successfully added. This has been observed when a port is added on FRSM-HS1 card.

CSCdk60860

Following BPX statistics have been added to SV+ Stats Collection Manager:

  • BIP-8 Errors (stat id 40)

  • BIP-8 Errored Seconds (stat id 41)

  • BIP-8 Severely Err Secs (stat id 42)

CSCdk65341

Equipment Manager GUI, displays "DS0 BitMap is Wrong for E1" error message, when an attempt to up a E1 port on FRSM card with CAS signalling is made.

CSCdk67023

.SV+ does not get registered to the AXIS nodes for a long time. This problem happens if the first attempt to register to the AXIS fails due to AXIS agent time-out or other SNMP error and the short time-out (in secs) given by command line option (-s) to rtm process is set to a high value.

Further Problem Description: This problem is fixed by de-coupling the use of the short time-out value in the error retry delay scenario. Now, the short time-out value is used only for time-out getting response from snmpcomm. This short time-out can be set to a higher value to avoid too many repeated requests sent to snmpcomm while its busy and end up flooding its message queue. A new command line option "-d" is introduced to set the error retry delay time in seconds.This error retry delay time is used if response is received from snmpcomm but the request was failed. In this case, rtm will retry (resend the request) after the error retry delay time. The default for this retry delay is 60s if its not set.

CSCdm09863

Statistics Collection Manager GUI shows excessive timed out messages to time sync host.This problem has been fixed in stasmain process.

As a fix to the above problem, statsmain has been enhanced to try connecting to time sync host 15 times, whenever it receives Node Is Busy or Connection Under Progress type of failure cases, before giving up and record Failed error. For all the other failed cases SCM reports Failed error and logs the error in its log file.

A problem with DB consistency, during SV+ warm-start has been fixed in emc process. SV+ DB doesn't get updated properly during warm-start if some FRSM channels are deleted while SV+ is not running and SV+ is warm-started after this deletion.

CSCdk21838

Communication break alarms 20016 and 20017 are not getting generated, instead 20006 and 20007 get generated. The trap numbers were changed in 9.1, the correct trap numbers are 20016 and 20017.

CSCdk22503

The tbcount, dbcount and svdbcount scripts in /usr/users/svplus/tools directory are not functional.

CSCdk23023

ATM-FR connections can't be added using SV+. An attempt to do so fails with the error message from switch Agent:

"Interworking ATM-CONS are not allowed" or

"Remote card is inappropriate type (AIT)"

This happens when the FR side is an IPX/IGX feeder connected to an IGX hub. This happens because SV+ tries to add the middle segment with subtype=vbr or abr, but it results in error because BTM does not support vbr/abr.

CSCdk25344

Trap 20004 generated after a switchcc on BPX gives undefined values for trapReason (3055) and trapCardStatus (4). This problem has been fixed in emsd process. SV+Network.mib has also been updated.

On certain AIX systems, SV+ has problems in coming up, as port 9000 is in use by x_st_mgrd. One can find x_st_mgrd 9000/tcp entry in /etc/services file. To avoid this problem, base port used by SV+ has been changed to 19500.

Corrected Anomalies Rolled Up From the SV+ 9.0 Release

The following anomaly has been corrected in the 8.4 release of StrataView Plus and rolled into the 9.1.03 version of StrataView Plus.

Corrected Anomalies Rolled Up From the SV+ 8.4 Release

The following conditions have been corrected in the 8.4 release of StrataView Plus and rolled into the 9.1.03 version of StrataView Plus.

Bug ID Descriptions

CSCdj52072:

Connection Manager GUI does not allow value=0 for %util parameter on BXM card with serviceType=UBR. The problem exists for connections UBR.1 and UBR.2 service types involving BXM cards.

A work-around for this is to use CLI to modify the %util value to zero.

CSCdj63905:

Equipment Manager GUI does not reflect the correct color for administrative state on SRM3T3 in release 4 AXIS shelves. This problem happens because of improper handling of the related trap by emc process.

The problem has been fixed in both Axis firmware and StrataView Plus releases. Axis fix is in release 4.0.13 or later.

The workaround for this is to do a node resync from Equipment Manager GUI after disabling the line.

CSCdj72753:

The documentation error regarding atmEndPointMinAdjustPeriod object in SV+Service.mib has been fixed. The range now has been changed to 3 to 255.

CSCdj77436:

SCM may not collect statistics files 12 collection cycles back if the history files are set to >= 12. This problem has been fixed in statsmain process.This problem only occurs if the number of history files to collect is set to >= 12.

CSCdj78846:

141) FEBE Counts can be configured for a T3 trunk but don't appear for an E3 trunk
170) Loss of Cell Delineation can be configured for an E3 trunk but doesn't appear for a T3 trunk.

Further explanation of the problem
Frame Sync Errors
As of today, On E3 trunks only Direct Map mode OR HEC framing is supported. With this type of Line Framing "Frame Sync Errors" are NOT supported.
Loss of cell delineation
the Line Framing was SET to HEC framing by doing cnftrk, ONLY then this statistic is valid. When it is configured in the PLCP mode, this count is not valid.

FEBE Count

This fix is done in Switch Software.

The rest of the missing counters are fixed in StrataView Plus SCM.

CSCdj80624

The status of a trunk in the packet_line table of SV+ DB is inconsistent with the status displayed in the CLI of the switch. The packet_line table is written to by both topod and emsd although to update different sets of attributes. But this may at times create the scenario that when either of them is writing the other also tries to write which fails and as a result the database may not get update with the correct values for some of the attributes (trunk status in this case). This gives rise to database inconsistency. This problem has been fixed in topod and emsd processes by introducing retry mechanism for DB writes

CSCdj83864:

CM GUI differs from SNMP/CLI in configuring CLLM ports. You cannot change the cllm enable, and timer when the fr port is configured to LMI or UNI protocol type, in the Equipment Manager GUI.

CSCdj85527:

SV+ install script overwrites the perl executable in /usr/local/bin with the version bundled with StrataView media. This problem has been fixed SV+ INSTALL procedure.

A work-around for this problem is to save the existing copy of perl before the install and restore it back in /usr/local/bin after StrataView installation.

CSCdj88137:

TestConn returns erroneous data in SNMP for FR-ATM PVC. The returned values do not match with the values described in SV+Service.mib file. This problem has been fixed in ConnProxy process.

The above problem happens if a TestConn is executed for a FR-ATM connection from the ATM end and if the test is successful, the test result returned actually contains the delay, a positive integer value, rather than the expected 0.

As a work-around for this any positive value returned can be considered as success.

CSCdj89037

:statsparser process fails to parse stat files collected from AXIS shelves with the following error message in /usr/users/svplus/statsmgrdir/statsparser.err file.

"Mar 17 17:17:00 ERROR:0 statsparser.c@668:File:/usr/users/svplus/incoming/<axisnodename>.0317981700

Mar 17 17:17:00 ERROR:0 BinaryProcessor.c@258:

This problem happens only with release 4.0.09x Axis shelves.

CSCdj89302:

When statistics collection is in progress SCM does not warn you while exiting that statistics collection will be stopped upon exit.

CSCdj89609

Strata View Plus Equipment Manager GUI shows BNM Clock Source as AUM Inband instead of BNM Inband. This problem has been observed with Strata View 8.4.10 manager Axis shelves with release 4 or higher BNM cards.

CSCdj89825

:When a SNMP GET operation is done on the ServiceMib object svPortIfType and svAtmPortIfType for a port on a BXM-12T3 or BXM-8T3 card, the Port Proxy Agent returns the wrong value of 16 which is oc12-smf. The correct value should be 4 for t3. Similar problem happens to BXM-8E3 and BXM-12E3 cards also, for which the correct value is 5 for e3.

CSCdj91893:

OpenView trapd.log file shows some Axis traps in no defined format. This could happen if traps from axis.mib are loaded (using OpenView menu options etc.), prior to StrataView installation. This has been observed in StrataView 8.4.10.

The work-around for the above problem is available only for Axis traps 50120-50123.

Login as root and run following commands from /usr/users/svplus directory:

# /opt/OV/bin/xnmevents -delete dsx1LineNoAlarmTrap dsx1LineInAlarmTrap\ dsx1LineLpbkEnableTr dsx1LineLpbkDisableT

# cd /usr/users/svplus

# ./SV+_HPOV.install

The above problem has two parts

1 .Traps 50120-50123 have some conflicts with axis.mib definition of Trap. The trap names are:

  • dsx1LineNoAlarmTrap
  • dsx1LineInAlarmTrap
  • dsx1LineLpbkEnableTr
  • dsx1LineLpbkDisableT

2 .SV+_HPOV.install was not loading format into trapd.conf for the following traps:

  • coreCardsConfigClear
  • bnmTrunkCellFormatTr
  • trapBERTStart
  • trapBERTEnd
  • trapBERTAbort
  • srmLossOfClockTrap
  • trapImaRcvAisLoam
  • trapImaRcvRdiLoam
  • trapImaFailedOtherRe
  • trapImatmDsx3HecChan
  • trapCardOvrSubscribe
  • trapPortOvrSubscribe
  • trapAusmPortSvcRange
  • trapImaPortSvcRangeC

These missing traps have been added to StrataView's StrataCom_trapd.conf file.

CSCdk01192:

When adding a BXM or ASI port that is already existing, the error message in the error table is incorrect. The error message reported the wrong port with a bogus shelfName, in the format "Port routingNodeName.shelfName.slot.port already exists". The correct error message should not have the shelfName. This problem has been fixed in PortProxy process.

CSCdk07105:

When trap 50045 is received, the HPOV event browser dumps the varbind list instead of trap description string. This trap is generated when secondary card becomes active as the primary card fails.

CSCdk07451:

For userLogoutTrap (55021) from axis, OpenView event browser shows incorrect value in user field.

CSCdk09486:

A database inconsistency problem related to user_connection table has been fixed in emsc process. Because of this problem entries in user_connection table do not match with status on network and atm_connection table. This problem could happen if addition and deletion of connections on the same switch are done at a rapid rate or when SV+ is down.

As a work-around for this problem SV+ database can be re-created and SV+ can be started

CSCdk10508:

A database inconsistency issue related to logical connections has been fixed in emsc process. SV+ database table logical_conn contains rows that do not correspond to any existing connection. These rows are leftovers from connections that have been deleted. This problem can happen if connection addition & deletion is performed while SV+ is down or if SV+ is up but the network is busy.

As a work-around for this problem SV+ database can be re-created and SV+ can be started.

CSCdk10837:

Equipment Manager GUI shows the primary slot as empty after the cold start even though the primary card is covered by the secondary card. It should show the primary card as covered slot.

This problem can happen in the following scenario. When primary and secondary cards are setup and then primary card is removed while SV+ is running, Equipment Manager GUI shows the secondary card as active and the primary card as covered slot. If SV+ is then stopped and restarted after creating SV+ database, Equipment Manager GUI shows the primary slot as empty.

As a work-around for this the primary card can be inserted back into the slot.

CSCdk11895:

Equipment Manager GUI displays incorrect values for rcv/xmt AIR counter values for FR-channels, in the view counter screen.

This problem happens if the network has Axis 4 shelves with FRSM-4 cards and SV+ is 8.4.09, 8.4.10 or 8.4.11.

CSCdk13002:

As a work-around to this problem, the line field in Equipment Manager GUI Port configure window can be left out. This results in ports on line 4 displayed along with the other ports.

CSCdk13155:

In a redundancy card setup, when a secondary card takes over in primary card failure situation, no new ports or PVCs can be added to the primary card, if the primary card is pulled out. This problem has been fixed in emc process.

This problem has been observed with SV+ 9.1.02 and prior releases managing release 4.0.12 or later Axis shelves.

CSCdk13162:

StrataView node resync with axis shelves fails. This problem happens only when any redundancy action occurred like softswitch, primary card failed or pulled out. In such cases the SV+ database will be out of sync with axis shelves. This has been observed with StrataView 8.4.11 managing Axis 4.0.13 shelves. This problem has been fixed in emc process.

CSCdk14193:

As a work-around to this problem, node resync can be opted from Equipment Manger GUI. This will update the GUI with line distribution status.

CSCdk14782:

An intermittent exit problem in Desktop process has been fixed. This problem has been observed when SV+ processes are stopped while Desktop is running.

CSCdk21314:

The equipment management subsystem (emd, emc processes) and DataBase schema have been updated to support the new card state reserved in Axis releases 4.0.16 onwards. Axis send this reserved state if a card is pulled out from its slot. In Equipment Manager GUI a card in this state will be shown as empty slot.

CSCdk22603:

SCM appears to get stuck when it is trying to reach timesync host. This problem could happen in either of these conditions.

1 .Time Sync host is not reachable

2 .Network responds after a period close to the (sync with timesync host) retry time

This problem has been fixed in statsmain process. With this fix the default retry time to sync with timesync host is 5 minutes and this can be set to anywhere from 4 to 14 minutes by a environment variable TIMESYNCPERIOD.

When the above problem happens one can exit SCM and set this TIMESYNCPERIOD to a value more than network response time for timesync host status and then start SCM. This time if timesync host is not reachable, you will be able to change the timesync host from SCM in NodeConfig parameters

Further Problem Description: There was a problem in the way the time sync host was contacted by SCM. If the time sync host was unreachable then a particular host may kept on gutting retried.

CSCdk24102:

Maintenance logs (event logs) on switches are logged but do not immediately appear in NetView event browser. Sometimes the delay is very significant, i.e.,in hours. Traps may seem to be bursted into NetView event browser every 2 to 3 minutes. This has been fixed in eventd process.

The problem occurs when a new switch is added to the network, but not yet added to SV+ workstation(s) local /etc/hosts file or on the DNS server. The problem also occurs whenever the entire network status changes.

As a work-around to this problem an entry with node name "NETWORK" (all capital letters) and a dummy IP address can be added to SV+ workstation(s) local /etc/hosts file (or to SV+ system(s) hosts database if /etc/hosts is not consulted by system running SV+).

Prior to introducing a new switch to the network, the node name and its IP address should be added to the SV+ workstation(s) local /etc/hosts file (or to SV+ system(s) host database if /etc/hosts is not consulted by system running SV+).

If for whatever reason, the symptoms occur, try to "ping" all the nodes and node "NETWORK" from the SV+ workstation(s). If any node is unreachable, add the node name to local /etc/hosts file (or to SV+ system(s) hosts database if /etc/hosts is not consulted by system running SV+).

A work-around to this is to select a IPX/IGX feeder which is connected a BPX hub or connection can be added using CLI.

CSCdk24394

If the softswitch command is executed on CLI to switch primary card to secondary card in redundant card setup, the PVCs on primary card are stayed in failed state on SV+ CMGUI. even though the PVCs on AXIS shelves and switches are in clear state. This problem has been fixed in emc process.

As a work-around for this problem, StrataView can be cold started (clearing the DB and restarting SV+).

CSCdk28135:

Checksum error is shown in statsmain error log even though the collected statistics file is not corrupted. This problem has been fixed in statschild and statsparser processes.

This problem occurs when the collected statistics file is of such a size such that the checksum straddles two blocks. Each block is assumed to be of size 4096.

Further Problem Description: The child process on getting the statistics file validates it using the checksum at the end of the file. When this checksum straddles two blocks of size 4096, StrataView checksum computation procedure breaks down and flags the file as corrupt.The child process on getting the statistics file validates it using the checksum at the end of the file. When this checksum straddles two blocks of size 4096, StrataView checksum computation procedure breaks down and flags the file as corrupt.

CSCdk33001:

Statistics collection won't get completed on nodes running 8.4.X SWSW. This problem has been observed when running SCM with SV8.4.11.Patch2 and SCMSA_8.4.11.Patch2 on 8.4.X nodes. This problem has been fixed in statschild process.

Statistics Collection Management Application Notes

When installing statistics collection management (SCM) over existing 9.1.X SV+, there are two procedures to follow to get the correct behavior for SCM autoenable and config files.

SCM Autoenable INSTALL Procedure over existing 9.1.X

The SCM has a master file used to autoenable a switch during statistics collection.

In the /usr/users/svplus/statsmgr directory, enable.master.81.stats is a binary file that is sent to the switch when autoenable is invoked. It comes initially set to 60 minute collection and 60 minute buckets for statistics and a limited set of statistics for Frame Relay.

During normal operation, when a you select new statistics or different collection intervals, this file is reset to whatever values you have selected in your configuration and setup.

If a you install a new 9.1.X over an existing environment, the enable file will be overwritten to the defaults. To avoid this, move the enable.master.81.stats file to a temporary file then move it back after install. Or you can bring up the SCM GUI, select the statistics as desired, send statistics enable to the network, and the enable file will automatically be overwritten by your settings.

SCM Statistics Configuration Procedure Over Existing 9.1.X

The SCM has a master file used to setup the selected statistics in the user interface.

In the /usr/users/svplus/statsmgr directory, statsenablelist.stats is a ASCII file that is used to initialize the list boxes for statistics in the GUI. The file is initially set to a limited set of statistics for Frame Relay.

During normal operation, when a you select new statistics, this file is reset to whatever values you have selected in your configuration and setup.

If you install a new 9.1.X over an existing environment, the file will be overwritten to the defaults supplied on the install file. To avoid this, the you can move the file to a temporary file then move it back after install. Or you can bring up the SCM GUI, select the statistics as desired and select the OK button in the window. The file will automatically be overwritten by your settings.

Application Note for Multiple SCM Configuration

Collecting Statistics from the Same Nodes Using Multiple SCMs

Some users who will be doing redundant file collection and others who will be using multiple SCMs to collect files to a common SV+ workstation. The restrictions that are discussed here apply to both configurations. Refer to Figure 3 Multiple Statistics Collection Manager Configuration below.


Figure 3: Multiple Statistics Collection Manager Configuration


There are SV+ WingZ and Parser considerations if you are using multiple SCMs for TFTP Statistics collection. When you configure a node for TFTP collection, the SCM keeps a copy of the node configuration on the LOCAL SCM workstation.This configuration list is used by WingZ to determine what statistics have been enable/disabled on a given node. In order for WingZ to turn on the statistics enable table, these configuration files are opened and parsed by the SV+ statsenable program, and the database "stat_enable" table updated for that node.

It is recommended that you use a single SCM to enable all TFTP statistics for all nodes in the network. The single SCM should be the SCM that runs on the same workstation as WingZ and SV+.

It also important to note, that the Network Parameters window on the SCM that is running stand-alone contains configuration parameters for the statsParser. Since the SCM is running stand-alone where there is no statsParser or SV+, the Parser parameters will have no effect upon other SCMs running on other machines. If you want to change a statsParser parameter, you must go to the machine where SV+ and the parser are running and configure the parameters appropriately for them to take effect

Auto Enable Feature in SCM 9.1.X

The auto enable feature is only available in SCM which is running along with SV+ core processes. Stand alone SCM does not have auto enable functionality. The function of auto enable is to do TFTP put statistics enable to the nodes which are configured to have statistics master SCM as this one. This is done when SCM first starts up. If no statistics enable file was sent to a node from this SCM, it will send a default enable.master.81.stats file; otherwise, SCM will send the same stats enable file which was sent by this SCM to that node previously.

The important note for this auto enable feature is that there is no provision to turn this feature off. The side effect is that after the installation of SV+ 9.1.X, for the first time when SCM is run, it will put the default enable.master.81.stats file to all the nodes which are configured to have stats master SCM as this one. In this case, if you do not want default statistics, you must again select the statistics and send to the nodes.

The other important note for SCM in 9.1.X is that the stand alone SCM uses YP page if ypbind is running otherwise it uses local /etc/hosts file to get the nodes name. On the other hand, SCM which is running with SV+ core processes, gets all the node from topology.

SCM 9.1.X does not support local host or any UNIX work station as time sync node. You must select one of the routing node for time sync node.

SCM 9.1.X allows different groups of nodes to have different bucket intervals, collection intervals and time sync nodes. However, the main window in SCM always displays the most recent settings of network parameters. They are valid for those nodes which were enabled and done start collection, after these parameters were set. To see the collection period, bucket interval and time sync node, you can select a node and apply Show Collect Info from node selection window.
