The alerts were for rebooted devices. I ended up going into SQL and deleting the data from the active alerts table. I will see if the next alerts allow me to clear them. Not a big deal so far. Can't have operations doing that now, can we? We have the same post-upgrade problem with devices that have had their IOS version…

The Orion admin would. Give them an option to "UnManage" the vm guest.

using Orion version 9.1 and a RO community screen you should see something like... Displaying the vmware icon is something new in the 9.1 release. There is a new ESX View that will be avaiable to take advantage of the new information. Make certain that the servers are configured in Admin /Views by device type (VMware ESX…

Denny the following would be helpful start Each Disk Physical Drive (Fiber Channel / SATA) Enclosure and Disk Number Physical Disk Size Each LUNS ID Raid Type Physical Size Allocated Each Storage Groups Server(s) LUN ID Storage Process Status Enclosure Serial Number Onboard Power Supply Status After that we would be able…

Having recently upgrade the engineer's toolset, Orion, and Cirrus to the latest releases I wrongly A$$umed that we would have the latest. Not so Charley Brown. After downloading the "Orion MIB" and adding to three different locations (ugh!) I was able to browse the cLARiiOn. It is really functionally limited. Need more…

This is because the Report schemas are updated automatically when you add a custom property - you can also update them manually if you wish as follows: Open the Custom Property Editor tool Right click on a blank grey area of the Toolbar, and go to ‘Customize..’ Click the Commands tab Under the “Commands” section, scroll…

Sorry didn't follow up and I'm not use the this newer Thwack interface. OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.2.19 CISCO-STACK-MIB:chassisSerialNumberString Renamed to - Chassis_Serial_Number (3750 Stack) the network doesn't have a real Chassis for 4500 /6500 testing. OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11 ENTITY-MIB:entPhysicalSerialNum Renamed…

JWERELIN, To disable topology calculations: * Log in as an administrator to the Orion Web Console on the SolarWinds server that is polling the object for which you want to disable topology calculations. * Click Settings in the top right corner of the web console. * Click Manage Nodes in the Node & Group Management…

I use the internal loopback 127.0.0.1 address as a monitored "reference ICMP" of external sites. Then used the APM http/https: url / port for web monitoring. For the past 3 months it has worked. What I can not do is get any APM monitors onto an Orion map.

All, Thanks for your input. We hear you and are taking your input into account: we have released 7.0.1 that helps with some of the flexibility that NCM 7.0 reduced and have a 7.0.2 in preparation that continues along the same lines. As far as the speed of the intertace, this is something we hear quite often (as well as…

For me this would be top priority. I would like to be able to manage devices from the web console just like we can now do from NPM. Thanks I'd prefer adding the node in NCM (we need more information there) and have NCM add the deivce into NPM. I think the current process on NPM -> NCM is backwards. I don't want all…

I tried this as a manual process a while ago and couldn't figure out the file format. After your noe I did try again and reviewed Cisco's website to see if there were any leads and nothing. I never thought to try this through Cirrus, soley because the application can not seem to automate a series of command lines and the…

Following the above example, elect the node's interface and add the counters you want. You may then elect to connect the interfaces together. It is not easy work!

To help us prioritize, can you rank your requests for changing Config Change Report output: E.g. 1. Provide option of NOT reporting "no changes" 2. Send report as a PDF attachment 3. Send report as a MHTML attachement 4. Provide options for sorting (please describe desired options) Best. Options 2 and 3 would affect every…

Is your backup time frame set to a weekly? If so, change the granularity to something bigger than a week to see data. There is a check box "Only save if configs changed", if this setting is checked in your download config job, NCM won't count that as a backup. This is a bug that is scheduled to resolved in 5.1. Nightly…

I have asked and it does not look like we have encountered this issue in the past. Did you open a case for this? Might be worth doing it and loading diags so we can take a look. Thank You for doing a behind the scenes investigation. I resolved the problem by moving LWAPs to another controller and back again, with no +…

Well I just made a simple device template to download the running-config at least off of my WLC. For now, that will have to do. I took advantage of your script for my 3750 Integrated controller which should have the same internal guts as a 4400 WLC and am getting stuck. The following is what is coming back in the trace…

Same here, unable to select. I guess with at least 2 installations having the same problem it's a bug, not an admin mistake.

On your scrren for any device open a config Once you have your configuration open Uncheck the line number opton

Hi, Looking forward to seeing how others operate in this area of the product. In the mean time, it is well identified (97581) that there is a requirement to be able to manage a node in NCM but not monitor is at all in NPM (in the case of both being integrated). For some, it is a temporary state, like in your case, for…

Thanks for the reply. Using some of the OID these DELL websites came up: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/svradmin/2.2/en/SNMP/snmpc4.htm and http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/svradmin/1.9/en/SNMP/SNMP.pdf This site did not enumerate the values returned. Only that the Syntax is DellStatus.…

There have been several requests over the years for Smartnet useful reports and there are requests for this from 2007.... http://thwack.com/search/thwacksearch.aspx?q=smartnet&s=forums I've been trying for three years to get a simple "Smartnet or Warranty" report with the additional Solarwinds data fields for expiration…

Wouldn't be nice if there were Thwack folders with subdirectories of this stuff along with information on how to display it meaningfully. The interface will not allow the uploading of the ISeries.UnDP... Try copy / pasting the following with a text editor. If this doesn't work I'll get it to you somehow. If I missed…

Verify your security settings on the server's application console. At the NCM console File / Settings ... 2nd option should be Security This is where you will find selection options for username and passwords

I'll chime in here as well. I have worked in an "all Cisco shop" where NCM made it really easy to inventory all of the network devices and keep that inventory up to date. I have always read about multi-vendor support in release notes and marketing materials since the day that NCM was introduced (as Cirrus back then). Now…

I have been asking for storage support for several months now. Specifically, EMC and Brocade (selfishly that's my environment).

I don't know if this is the correct forum for Cisco Switch command line management: I believe the command syntax you are looking for is: !!!! Advanced IP Services ((CORE)) archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://X.X.X.X /c3750-advipservicesk9-tar.122-44.SE1.tar Note the .tar I would start reviewing this by starting with…

Brandon, That may not he a functional design logic. According to Cisco data center best practices and follows the examples of the data center 4900 and Nexus5000V. Each host should be connected to two independant switches and not stacks. I don't necessarily agree with this design, but other organizations are implementing…

Absolutely, Many corporations support or have internet based web sites that are important for monitoring. A normal ping response is something that typically will not respond. When attempting to monitor a http only site, orion will display the node as down because there are no ICMP responses.Thanks

You can bypass Computer Manager by typing in "services.msc" as a Run... command or Command Prompt. Additionally; Right Click on Services(Local} and enter the server to be edited. As above find SNMP and edit Agent/Location. If you want to test this immediately. Restart SNMP (generally not required, but this is a test), and…
