CIFS AO down after software upgrade

[joepena2012]

Hi all,

i'm currently starting software upgrade procedure in my WAAS environment.

I'm upgrading from 4.1.5b to 4.2.3c

after rebooting my WAE's i'm having the following alarm:

Critical Alarms:
----------------
        Alarm ID                 Module/Submodule               Instance
   ---------------             --------------------          ---------------
   1 cifs_ao_down              wafs                         WAFS

Major Alarms:
-------------
None

Minor Alarms:
-------------
None

nkrwa222#sh licens
License Name   Status      Activation Date Activated By
-------------- ----------- --------------- --------------
Transport      active      06/22/2010      guf
Enterprise     not active
Video          not active
nkrwa222#

However even if i start the CIFS Accelerator the alarm still persists.

nkrwa222(config)#accelerator cifs ena
Enabled windows-print accelerator
Enabled cifs accelerator
WARNING: Accelerator doesn't optimize the traffic until license is configured.
It takes up to 2 minutes to start the traffic optimization after the license is activated.
nkrwa222(config)#
nkrwa222(config)#

I'm running no application accelerator cause i'm using transport license. And so i do not really need CIFS AO however i need to clear the alarm especially on CM.

Any ideas how i can fix this?

thanks for your input

Dieter,

Correct, you can not enable any accelerators if you only have the Transport license.

I'd suggest you execute the following commands to see if the alarm clears.

pdi-7341-19(config)#no wafs edge enable

pdi-7341-19(config)#no wafs core enable

pdi-7341-19(config)#no accelerator cifs enable

Hi Mike,

once again: thats it.

Thank you very much for your help.

I've now running a WAAS environment with 4.3.1 on CM and 4.2.3c on WAE's, and beginning from monday i'll start a WAAS express Instalation in this environment.

Lets see how it will work.

thanks again for all your help.
