Usage Guidelines

VFrame has these types of product license:

Managed Switch Port—You must have a license for each switch port to which a managed server is connected. Port limits include ports on Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches. For example, if a server is using one Ethernet connection and two Fibre Channel connections to managed switches, that counts as three managed switch ports. VFrame includes a base license for 100 managed switch ports. If you need more managed ports, you must purchase and install additional managed switch port licenses.

To determine how many ports you using, open the VFrame GUI and select Help > About. The About dialog box displays your current licenses and how many ports you are using.

High Availability—If you want to enable redundancy on VFrame to provide a high-availability configuration with another VFrame Data Center Director, you must install a high-availability license on the active VFrame Data Center Director.

To obtain and install a product license, follow these steps:

1. Enter the show license hostid command to obtain your host ID. If you are obtaining a high-availability license, get the host ID from both VFrame Data Center Directors.

2. Go to Cisco.com and use your host ID to purchase the license you require. Place the license on a server that is accessible to the VFrame Data Center Director and that supports a file download protocol supported by VFrame (for example, SCP, FTP, TFTP, or HTTP).

3. Enter the copy url url_of_license_file license command to download the license to your VFrame Data Center Director. If you are installing a high-availability license, download the license to the active member of the redundant pair.

4. Enter config to start configure mode.

5. Enter the license command to install the downloaded license file.

6. Enter exit to leave configure mode.

7. Enter show license status to verify that the license was installed.

Examples

The following example installs a license:

test-100# config
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Defines the NTP peer. Specify the NTP peer name or IP address in peer-name. The maximum number of characters is 80. The format of the address is A.B.C.D.

prefer

(Optional) Specifies a peer or server as a preferred peer or server.

server server-name

Defines the NTP server. Specify the NTP server name or IP address in server-name. The maximum number of characters is 80. The format of the address is A.B.C.D.


Defaults

NTP is not enabled.

Command Modes

Global configuration.

Command History

Release
Modification

1.1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

If you disconnect from all NTP peers and servers, NTP is not used as the time protocol on your Director. The system clock is then maintained locally.

The system clock can change the peer clock, or the peer clock can change the system clock. The NTP server influences the system clock, but the system does not in turn influence the NTP server clock.

Examples

The following example specifies an NTP peer:

test-100# config
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
test-100(config)# ntp peer 10.100.40.16
test-100(config)#

The following example specifies an NTP server and identifies it as the preferred server:

test-100# config
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
test-100(config)# ntp server 10.100.40.17 prefer
test-100(config)#

ping

To test a remote system, use the ping command in user EXEC mode.

ping ip-address

Syntax Description

ip-address

Specify the IP address of the remote system. The format is A.B.C.D.


Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

User EXEC.

Command History

Release
Modification

1.1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The command sends ICMP echo requests and waits for ICMP echo replies. A ping is successful when echo replies are received. A successful ping indicates that the remote system is alive and responsive.

The ping command sends four echo requests. Press Ctrl+C to end the ping before the four requests are finished.

Examples

The following example pings the remote system 192.0.2.10:

test-100# ping 192.0.2.10
PING 192.0.2.10 (192.0.2.10) 56(84) bytes of data.

reboot

To restart the Director, use the reboot command in user EXEC mode.

reboot

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

User EXEC.

Command History

Release
Modification

1.1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The reboot command shuts down the system, and then restarts it. The shutdown command shuts down the system without restarting it.

After entering the reboot command, you are asked to confirm that you want to reboot the system. If you are connected to the system through an SSH client, you loose connection during the reboot and you must log in again.

If you are rebooting a system that is a member of a high-availability redundant pair and the system is the active member, use the redundancy resign command before the reboot command. Explicit resignation allows the standby system to take over active status without delay, making the transition smoother than if you simply reboot the system.

Examples

The following example reboots a VFrame Data Center Director:

test-100# reboot
Continue with reboot? [y/n] y
Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Fri Jul 14 10:58:46 2006):
The system is going down for reboot NOW!

redundancy

To manage HA settings, use the redundancy command in global configuration mode. To disable HA settings, use the no form of this command.

redundancy {coup | enable | hellotime hellotime-seconds | holdtime holdtime-seconds | interface | peer host-name db-name ha-ipaddress server-ipaddress | resign}

no redundancy {enable | hellotime | holdtime | interface}

Syntax Description

coup

Gives permission to a member of a HA pair to take over as the active member.

enable

Enables the redundancy feature.

hellotime hellotime-seconds

Enables the hellotime feature. Specify how often the heartbeat signal is sent to the other member of the redundant pair in hellotime-seconds. The range is 3 to 30 seconds.

holdtime holdtime-seconds

Enables the holdtime feature. Specify how long to assume the peer is still functioning after not receiving a heartbeat in holdtime-seconds. The range is 3 to 300 seconds.

interface

Configures the HA interface.

peer host-name db-name ha-ipaddress server-ipaddress

Identifies the other member of the redundant pair and enables redundancy. Specify the name of the peer, the name of the peer database, the IP address of the peer high availability interface, and the IP address of the peer server communication interface. The maximum number of characters allowed in each argument is 32.

resign

Takes away the status of active member.


Command Default

Redundancy is disabled.

Hello time is 10 seconds.

Hold time is 20 seconds.

Command Modes

Global configuration.

Usage Guidelines

You have to setup a remote GIR before you can enable redundancy.

You must enable high-availability during initial configuration for any of the redundancy commands to work. You also must install and configure the peer correctly.

If you disable redundancy, and reconfigure the system to use the local system as the backup location, the redundancy enable command prompts you to select a remote backup location.

If you did not configure the system to use an external database backup location during setup, the redundacy peer command prompts you to select a backup location. You must select a remote backup location to successfully configure redundancy.

Use the show redundancy status and show redundancy config commands to view the current status and configuration.

For redundancy to work correctly, the show system services command will show the hdrh and hsrp services as started. When VFrame is operating in standalone mode, the opposite state is normal for these services.

The coup command works only if the member is the standby member of the pair and redundancy is enabled.

The resign command works only if the member is the active member of the pair and redundancy is enabled.

Hold time is reset every time a heartbeat is received. After hold time is exceeded, the system assumes the peer is no longer functioning. If the system is currently the standby member of the pair, it takes over as the active member. To avoid unnecessarily quick failover, ensure that hold time is a multiple of hello time.

Usage Guidelines

VFrame system fault alarms relate to the functioning of the VFrame Data Center Director instead of your data center equipment and service networks. You can configure notifications for these fault alarms in the SMTP system settings.

VFrame system fault state machines can have these states:

Clear—There is not an active fault alarm for this fault state machine. If there had been an active fault alarm, it has been resolved.

Raise—There is an active fault alarm for this fault state machine.

When you use the show fault history command, the fault alarm severity is represented by a number. The numbers have the following meanings:

0 (Emergency)—The system is unusable.

1 (Alert)—You must take action must immediately to resolve the problem.

2 (Critical)—This is a critical condition.

3 (Error)—This is an error condition

The following are the VFrame system fault notifications:

HA Peer Unreachable—The local VFDC (VFrame Data Center) is not receiving HSRP packets from the peer VFrame Data Center.

To resolve the problem, use any of the following:

Use the show redundancy config command on both the local and peer VFDC to determine the source of the problem.

Check the Ethernet cable that connects the peers.

Reboot the peer.

Check the redundancy configuration in both peers to ensure they use the correct IP addresses.

DB Down—The VFrame Data Center database experienced a read/write failure.

To resolve the problem, use any of the following:

Use the debug services database command to determine the source of the problem.

Reboot the system.

VFDC Service Is Down—One or more VFrame Data Center system services is not functioning correctly.

To resolve the problem, use any of the following:

Use the show system status command to determine which services are down, then use the debug services <service> command to find out why the service is down.

Use the tech service reset command to restart the service.

Reboot the system.

HA Peer Version Mismatch—The VFrame Data Center software installed on one peer is a different version than the software installed on the other peer.

To resolve the problem, use any of the following:

Use the debug services hsrp command to determine the source of the problem.

DB Backup Device Unusable—Either VFrame Data Center is not able to reach the NFS filer or the LUN, or the disk space is low on the NFS filer or LUN.

To resolve the problem, use any of the following:

Use the debug services sysmnt to determine the source of the problem.

If the fault was generated because the service com IP directory or the VIP directory on the filer was deleted, use the debug services sysmt command to find out what directory was deleted, then recreate that directory.

Disk Space Low for DB Backup—VFrame Data Center is using a local disk for data base backup and the disk space is low.

To resolve the problem, create space on the local disk.

Usage Guidelines

When you display the status of system services, the expected state differs depending on whether the system is part of an active redundant pair. If the status is OK, the state of that service is the expected state under the current operating conditions.

Standalone mode—If the system is not part of a redundant pair, all systems should be started except hsrp and hdrh, which should be down.

Paired mode—If the system is part of a redundant pair, all systems should be started except ids, which should be down. Use the show redundancy status command to view the status of the IDS system.

If the status of a service is listed as not OK, you can use the tech service reset command to restart the service. If the tech command cannot restart the service, you must reboot the system.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show system services command:

test-100# show system services

Usage Guidelines

If you shut down the system, reboot it using the iLO interface. If you want to shut down the system and restart it immediately, use the reboot command.

If you are shutting down a system that is a member of a high-availability pair and the system is the active member, use the redundancy resign command before using the shutdown command. Explicit resignation allows the standby system to take over active status without delay, making the transition smoother.

Examples

The following example shuts down eth2:

test-100# config
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
test-100(config)# interface eth 2
test-100(config-eth)# shutdown

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The admin account is the default superuser account. The password you configure controls the password for SSH, console sessions, and for logging into the GUI.

After entering the user password command, you are prompted for the password and asked to enter it again to confirm it. As you are typing, the password does not appear on your screen, but the system accepts the typed input.

If the system judges the password to be inadequately secure, it notifies you with a BAD PASSWORD message. However, you can ignore the prompt and reenter the password to confirm it.

If you want to choose a different password after receiving the BAD PASSWORD message, you can press Enter without reentering the password at the retry password prompt, and you are prompted for a new password.

Examples

The following example changes the admin password:

test-100# config
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
test-100(config)# user password admin
Changing password for user admin.
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
test-100(config)#

Note The preceding command is successful, even though the BAD PASSWORD message appears.
