Time Zone Acronyms and Offset Settings

Table 1 shows time zone acronyms supported in the CiscoWorks2000 applications that use the time zone feature. Column 1 alphabetically lists the supported CiscoWorks2000 time zone acronyms. Change Audit reports may display time zone information differently. Column 2 lists the spelled out time zone definition. Column 3 lists the area covered by the time zone. Column 4 lists the column's offsets from Greenwich mean time (GMT). Column 5 lists the time zone setting for that zone's server and column 6 lists the resulting output in reports.

If you generate reports, output will vary depending on whether the data has been processed through Perl or Java. Table 1 also provides possible output for either case scenario.

To ensure that time zones are translated correctly—especially when your devices, servers, and clients are in different time zones—follow these guidelines:

When configuring time zones on managed devices, use the acronyms listed in the "Time Zone Acronym Setting on Device" column. To set time zones on devices, use the command described in the device-specific Command Reference documentation.

When configuring time zones on CiscoWorks2000 servers, use the supported values in the "Time Zone Setting on Server" column.


Note Changes made to the system time zone from outside CiscoWorks2000 applications might not be reflected in already-running CiscoWorks2000 applications. After
changing the time zone, restart all CiscoWorks2000 applications.

Multi-Homed Machines

A multi-homed machine is a machine that has multiple NIC cards, each configured with different IP addresses. To run CD One on a multi-homed machine, there are two requirements. First, all IP addresses must be configured in DNS. Second, because of restrictions with CORBA, only one IP address can be used by the client/browser to access the server. You must select one IP address as the external address, with which the client will login to the CiscoWorks2000 server.

To select an IP address, modify the gatekeeper file located in opt/CSCOpx/lib/vbroker/gatekeeper.cfg. Replace every instance of "<external-IP-address>" with the external IP address you choose, and remove the "#" character, from the following:

#vbroker.gatekeeper.backcompat.callback.host=<external-IP-address>

#vbroker.se.exterior.host=<external-IP-address>

#vbroker.se.iiop_tp.host=<external-IP-address>

#vbroker.se.interior.host=<external-IP-address>

After modifying the gatekeeper file, restart the Daemon Manager by entering /etc/init.d/dmgtd start.


Note To look up this topic on Bug Navigator II, use bug ID CSCds84075. For more information on using Bug Navigator II, see the "CD One 4th Edition Known Problems" section.


Security Enhancement

To address a CiscoWorks2000 security issue, CD One and other related applications will no longer be installed under the user bin. Beginning with CD One, 4th Edition, CiscoWorks2000 applications will be installed under the new user casuser, which belongs to the new group casusers. The role of casuser is to provide day-to-day product administration and maintenance without root privileges.

In Windows 2000 and Windows NT, the casuser account has the following attributes:

Randomized password

No Windows administrative privileges

During an upgrade to CD One 4th Edition, the following occurs: all currently installed CiscoWorks2000 applications, with the exception of CD One, are disabled. File permissions are transferred to the user casuser, which is created along with the group casusers. Key data from these applications, such as community strings and user and host information, are archived. As the latest versions of the applications are installed, they are re-enabled and the necessary archived data is imported.


Caution Do not give a login shell or create a password for the user casuser. To do so will affect accountability in CiscoWorks2000. If a user is not a member of the group casusers, and wants to run CiscoWorks2000 commands from a shell prompt, add that user to casusers.

Note To look up this topic on Bug Navigator II, use bug ID CSCdj26280. For more information on using Bug Navigator II, see the "CD One 4th Edition Known Problems" section.


Operating System Upgrade

If an operating system upgrade is done after CD One is installed, you must re-install CD One.

Re-installing CD One will allow the installation process to check for required service packs. Install any service packs that are found missing. For a list of required service packs, see Chapter 1 of Installing and Setting Up CD One on Windows 2000 and Windows NT.

If CiscoWorks2000 does not operate properly after installing all necessary service packs, check the permissions on the directory <install-directory>\objects\dmgt\ready. Administrators and casusers must have full access. If the permissions are incorrect, stop the daemon manager, change the permissions, and start the daemon manager again.


Caution If CD One is run without the required service packs, it will not function properly.

Note To look up this topic on Bug Navigator II, use bug ID CSCdt32795. For more information on using Bug Navigator II, see the "CD One 4th Edition Known Problems" section.

a. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel.

b. Double-click Java Plug-in.

c. Select Enable Java Console.

To enable the Java Plug-in console when using Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX:

a. Run the program <Pathname to your Java 2 runtime environment installation directory>/bin/ControlPanel.

b. Select Show Java Console.


Note The Java Plug-in console will automatically open when you launch an application that uses it.


Documentation Errata

The following are areas in which documentation may be inaccurate or have become outdated:

Disregard references to Event Query which appear in some copies of the Getting Started Guide with the CiscoWorks2000 Server. The option is no longer available.

Disregard the section in Getting Started Guide with the CiscoWorks2000 Server which reads,

"Microsoft Windows Systems—CiscoWorks2000 must be installed by the administrator and is installed as the user casuser. The user casuser is created at install time and will prompt for a password."

The section can be found in the "Files, File Ownership, and Permissions" section of Appendix B. It should read,

"Microsoft Windows Systems—CiscoWorks2000 must be installed by the administrator and is installed as the user casuser.

If it is a new installation, the system displays a Yes/No message box asking whether to proceed creating the user casuser with a 14-character randomized password.

If it is not a new installation, the system displays a Yes/No message box asking whether to proceed with resetting the password to a randomized 14-character password."

One problem of note is CSCdt26215. Installing CD One on a Pentium 4 machine results in two errors regarding configuring JRE2 and testing for JIT options. These errors are harmless. Click OK when both errors appear to allow installation to continue.

Table 2 CD One Installation Known Problems 

ID
Summary
Explanation

None.

Installing CD One returns an error message stating that there is not enough space on the C: drive to complete the process.

Installation requires 20 MB of space in Windows temporary directory: C:\Temp on most systems. If destination path is other than default and drive where \Temp directory resides does not have required space, error occurs.

CSCds07866

Unable to access ODBC Database.

If ODBC Driver Manager installed on machine is an earlier version than 3.51, ODBC database access will fail.

Problem caused by version mismatch of Sybase ODBC driver and ODBC Driver Manager. Sybase v6 requires ODBC Driver Manager 3.51 or later.

To correct problem, download MDAC 2.5 Service pack or later, which includes proper ODBC Driver Manager, from http://www.microsoft.com/data/, and install it as instructed.

CSCds33712

Re-installation of CD One fails when IPM installed on same machine.

If IPM is installed on machine that has RWAN bundle, re-installation of CD One may fail due to a shared library being locked. Problem also occurs when CiscoWorks2000 and IPM installations exist on same machine and you install or upgrade other CiscoWorks2000 components.

To work around problem:

1. Run ipm stop

2. Run ipm cw2ksetup uninstall

3. Re-install CD one

4. Run ipm cw2ksetup install

5. Run ipm start

The first two steps remove IPM's dependency on the shared library and the last two steps integrate IPM with CiscoWorks2000.

Integration Utility Known Problems


Note Windows NT users with NTFS: The file NMIDBOptions.properties contains CCO passwords, in an encoded form, and is accessible only to root/admin users or any member of the casusers group. Root/Admin Access to the host needs to be restricted if CCO password security is a concern.

Windows NT users with FAT file system: The file NMIDBOptions.properties is not protected from general access. If CCO password security is a concern, users should disable the CCO update option, and manually download the nmidb.*.zip file from the CCO location ftp.CCO in the directory /cisco/netmgmt/ciscoview/5.0/packages.


Table 9 Integration Utility Known Problems 

ID
Summary
Explanation

None.

The integration currently done with Network Node Manager (NNM) 6.0 to integrate MIBs, icons, and application registration will not be visible to web clients of NNM, and is not supported in Integration Utility.

If you access NNM through a Web browser, you might not see integrated information.

No workaround is available at this time.

None.

Changing the browser used by one application changes the browser used by all applications registered through the Integration Utility.

In Application Registration screen, change browser used by an application - CiscoView, for example. Now click tab for another application, like Essentials, and you will notice that its browser has also changed.

CSCdm61980

Cannot launch CiscoView by double-clicking device icons in NMS after integration.

Some NMS adapters do not support double-clicking device icons from topology map, even if CiscoView is set as default application (using Change Integration Options).

No workaround is available at this time.

CSCdm91445

If you run the utility to change only application registration information (such as browser, server, and port number), a full integration occurs.

If you change only application registration information, only application integration should occur. Instead, full integration occurs.

No workaround is available at this time.

CSCdp17559

Login screen appears every time CiscoView is started from the Network Management Platform (e.g. HP OpenView) using Internet Explorer.

No workaround is available at this time.

CSCdr38931

Error messages may be displayed when running Change Integration Options on a system with insufficient disk space.

After integration, when you run Change Integration Options, your system extracts NMIDB. If there is not enough disk space to extract NMIDB, extraction fails.

To work around problem, clear up some disk space and relaunch Change Integration Options. For Windows NT, if FAT file system is in place, make sure you have at least 190 MB of free disk space. For other file and operating systems, make sure you have at least 25 MB of free disk space.

CSCdr80401

Uninstallation of CiscoView 4.2 removes all Cisco icons from HP OpenView.

Cisco icons added by CD One 4th Edition installation removed from HP OpenView after following actions:

1. Install HP OpenView 6.0.

2. Install CiscoView 4.2 and integrate with HP OpenView.

3. Install CD One 4th Edition and integrate with HP OpenView.

4. Uninstall CiscoView 4.2.

To work around problem, run nmic and run integration with HP OpenView again.

CSCds19672

Only one subset of Cisco traps is loaded into the NMS by the Integration Utility.

Integration Utility only loads one subset of Cisco traps into NMS using trapd.41x file. File does not include many Cisco traps that can be found in newer Cisco MIBs. HP OpenView and Tivoli NetView integrations are impacted.

To work around problem, manually add/define traps using Event configuration GUI provided by NMSs.


CA-Unicenter Adapter Known Problems

Table 10 CA Unicenter Adapter Known Problems

ID
Summary
Explanation

None.

CA-Unicenter adapter does not integrate icons and MIBs.

CA-Unicenter adapter does not use MIBs or device icons from Cisco NMIDB. Adapter uses its own icons for Cisco devices on TNG maps.

CSCdp17554

Reintegration with CA-Unicenter adapter does not work.

Using Integration utility, integrate with CA-Unicenter adapter. If you try reintegration after changing parameters, adapter warns that applications have previously been registered. Consequently, changes in application parameters are not reflected.

To work around problem, you must unintegrate, then reintegrate:

1. From DOS command line, enter:
C:\program files\cscopx\bin\nmic.exe -u

2. Select Start > Programs > CiscoWorks2000 > Change Integration Options and reenter adapter information.

Note You will receive numerous popup menus. Click OK each time to continue.

CSCdp17571

Numerous popup messages appear during CA-Unicenter adapter execution.

When you integrate with CA-Unicenter adapter in Windows NT 4.0, many popup messages ask for confirmation. Also occurs while running Integration Utility with -u option set. This is expected behavior for TNG adapter and does not affect integration of TNG with CiscoWorks2000. Click OK to continue.

Note Always use the same repository name in the Select Repository dialog box.


ANI Server Known Problems

Table 11 ANI Server Known Problems 

ID
Summary
Explanation

CSCdj60832

All configuration changes lost when device accidently shut down, if device running Cisco IOS software image.

Configuration changes are only applied to device's running configuration. Because the changes are not stored in start-up configuration, if device is accidentally shut down all changes are lost.

To avoid problem, open Telnet session to device, and save configuration changes by entering write mem from command line interface.

CSCdm48015

An ATM trunk port is shown as belonging to a VLAN, even if there is no corresponding LANE client associated with that VLAN.

In VLAN-to-port association, all ATM ports on switches (except ATM switches) belonging to VLAN will be displayed.

Ignore ATM ports in VLAN-to-port association.

CSCdm58624

LANE trunks are not considered when determining a VTP disconnected domain discrepancy.

Ignore discrepancy.

Note If VTP domain spans across ATM cloud and default ATM-VLAN is configured to carry VTP advertisements across cloud, domain is still displayed as disconnected domain discrepancy due to lack of support.

CSCdp41757

An empty virtual circuit list is returned by two LS1010 devices, even when a virtual circuit exists between those devices.

Running SNMP query on ciscoAtmSvcAddrTable returns empty table for devices. Problem observed in LS1010 devices running Cisco IOS Release 12.0.

No workaround is available at this time.

CSCdp76410

3. Select Display View

4. Select devices, and click Tools->RMON Data Collection->Show Enabled Devices

No workaround is available at this time.

CSCdt56346

Discovery filter does not permit discovery of single device.

Specifying single device for example, in ANI Discovery Filter section does not work. The filter string will be accepted, but ANI will not discover device.

To work around problem, specify a wildcard: To specify a wildcard, replace last part of IP address with the character *. For example, if IP address is 209.165.200.224, wildcard is 209.165.200.*.


Device/Agent Known Problems Impacting ANI Server

Summary
Explanation

CSCdm91634

In Campus Manager device report, number of ports in a device's ATM module are incorrectly displayed as zero.

Problem, observed in Catalyst 5000 device running Catalyst operating system version 4.3(1a), is caused by missing ifEntry for device ATM module. ANI Server depends on ifEntry to determine number of ports in a particular module.

No workaround is available at this time.

CSCdp00593

General Known Problems

Table 14 General Known Problems 

ID
Summary
Explanation

CSCdr97090

CiscoWorks fails if Oracle, Ingres, or Informix installed on same systems.

When Oracle, Ingres, or Informix are installed on a system with CiscoWorks2000, these tools use resources CiscoWorks2000 expects to have available.

To work around problem, tune kernel according to situation. Consult your operating system vendor for instructions on tuning the kernel.

CSCds71189

Remote Software Image Management (SWIM) upgrade of 2948G router fails when subnet contains 3COM devices.

To work around problem, use Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) to upgrade 2948G router when subnet contains 3COM devices.

CSCds75572

CiscoWorks2000 database grows too quickly.

CiscoWorks2000 database (cmf.db) grows several Mb per day, reaching above 20Gb within 5 weeks. System becomes slow, with jre.exe eating 90% of CPU.

To work around problem, do not enable Event Logging.If Event Logging already enabled, disable it by performing the following steps:

1. Select Server Configuration > Administration > Event Management > Event Consumer Admin.

2. Set EventLogger to None, and click Apply.

CSCds90118

CSCdt16895

JRunProxyServer crashes when Netconfig invoked.

When opening Netconfig, the following error occurs:
Unable to retrieve message from catalog for message ID 300 Message Catalog is Null

No workaround is available at this time.

CSCdt22462

Delay when downloading Java applets on Win2K.

On some Windows 2000 systems, the initial download of large Java applets (or subsequent downloads of the same applets that are not cached locally) might take longer than expected (up to six minutes in some instances). After the applet has been loaded and cached locally, the problem no longer occurs.

The delay is caused by client side filtering mechanisms such as virus scanning. Some virus scanners are configured to automatically scan content downloaded by browsers. Scanning consumes a lot of memory and results in disk paging on most systems.

Because of this, downloading is significantly slower than expected. (The effect is less on systems with large amounts of RAM and virtual memory.)

To work around this problem, disable the automatic scanning of all downloaded files, and instead enable the scanning of program files only (specified by file extension).

Exact instructions vary depending on the virus scanner installed on your system.

For more information, see the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q240/3/09.asp.

CSCdt50353

Unable to access help files for user-created management connections after reinstallation/upgrade of CiscoWorks2000.

After reinstallation/upgrade, CiscoWorks2000 fails to launch help files for user-created management connections that existed prior to reinstallation/upgrade.

To work around problem, access help files directly. For example: to access help for a connection with folder name xyz, enter following URL in browser: http://<CiscoWorks2000host:port>/help/extern/xyz.html.

CSCdt59720

Crmtftp fills Windows Event Viewer with messages.

Windows Event Viewer fills with Informational and Error messages sent by crmtftp service. These messages indicate that a file is being transferred or a file was not found.

To work around problem, delete crmtftp events from Windows Event Viewer so they do not fill with messages.

CSCdt73198

CiscoWorks2000 freezes when machine's connection to network is lost.

CiscoWorks2000 is a network intensive application, and as such the recovery period from a network outage is substantial.

There is no need to attempt a workaound. CiscoWorks2000 will come back by itself. When tested, it has come back within half an hour.

CSCdt83908

When using PSU in "Scheduled Download" mode, and using GMT time zone, download happens one hour earlier than scheduled time.

No workaround is available at this time.
