do you have a date for supporting windows server 2012 r2 and system center operation manager 2012 r2?

reswaran · ‎12-12-2013

We posted UCSM MP 2.6.2 today with support for SCOM 2012 R2 and Windows 2012 R2.

ryochum79 · ‎01-14-2014

Are any of the UCSM MP versions backwards compatible with SCOM 2007 (non-R2)?

amimanda · ‎01-16-2014

No Rachelle, it is not supported by Cisco UCSM SCOM Management Pack versions...

G'day,

I noticed in the release notes that CSCul24411 had been fixed. I just deployed 2.6.2 on a freshly built SCOM 2012 R2 server running on Server 2012 and am getting the 19900 error in SCOM with associated details below:

Could not load file or assembly
'file:///C:\Windows\TEMP\1xpbmjao.dll' or one of its dependencies.

I am getting a "The page could not be loaded. Please review the errors and try again." error when trying to run the "Add Monitoring Wizard" to configure the MP 2.6.2 version. The error mentions something about a proxy; however there is no proxy between the OM server and the UCS Manager environment we are trying to monitor. One other item of note is that we are running Operations Manager 2012 R2 Update 2. The error details are:

Hi Mathhew,

Such error could be observed when "Default Management Pack" is missing from the Management Server where the "Add Monitoring Wizard" is being used to add a Cisco UCS Domain.

This Management Pack (Default Management Pack) is installed as a part of Operations Manager installation (Management Packs Installed with Operations Manager).

Please go to "Administration --> Management Packs" and verify if the "Default Management Pack" is missing. If yes, please import the "Default Managment Pack" and try to add Cisco UCS Domain again.

Thanks,

Amit Kumar

mattmissey · ‎05-29-2014

Amit,

Thank you. While the Management Pack was not deleted it appeared to be corrupt or modified. You pointed me in the right direction and was able to resolve my issue. I did go ahead and actually delete it and then reimported it from media. That fixed my issue. Thanks again for the reply!

Matt

Is anyone else seeing a memory leak with this MP? As soon as I configure the run-as account (i.e. as soon as monitoring is initiated) I see the System Center Management Service Host Process consume about 3MB of memory per second. This contunies until the process crashes out (at about 15GB).

I am running SCOM 2012 R2 and the Management Pack is 2.6.2

mattmissey · ‎06-10-2014

I also am seeing this occur.

fergus_fleming · ‎06-11-2014

I just upgraded to Update Rollup 2 (7.1.10226.1015) for SCOM 2012 R2 and the issue persists.

seanptexan · ‎06-12-2014

I am having the same issue. I have verified that the SCOM action account and the Cisco action account both have full access to the local SCOM server, and that they have permissions to read/write from c:\windows\temp. I've run a trace debug on the SCOM side, but get nothing back but this same error. Does the product team have any guidance on this issue? What steps can I troubleshoot before the probeaction script gets to this point?

I'm running the 2.6.2. version of the MP.

amimanda · ‎06-16-2014

Hi Sean,

Please try the following:

Clear the temp folder and restart the computer ( sometimes this error may occur due to temp folder being full).
Make sure SCOM Action Account has access(Read\Write) to C:\Windows\Temp. Login to the computer using SCOM Action Account and try write to the Temp folder.
Make sure the SCOM Action Account user group has access (Read/Write) to C:\Windows\Temp.

Thanks,

Amit Kumar

seanptexan · ‎06-17-2014

I identified the issue - the error was from a different management server than the one the Cisco UCS Manager service was installed on - I had assumed the workflow would run on the same management server. After updating permissions on the MS where the errors were generated from, this issue went away and discovery is proceeding as expected. Is there a way to specify which management server the UCS workflows run against?

amimanda · ‎06-19-2014

Hi Sean,

In v2.6.2 of Management Pack, workflows are designed to get load balanced by the Management Servers, therefore you will find the workflows executing from other Management Servers as well (depending upon the load on the servers). But the connection to UCS Domain will be made from the Cisco UCS Management Service only, where the UCS Domain has been added.

Feature to target the Management Pack workflows to the same machine where the UCS Management Service (which monitors the UCS Domain) is running is being targeted in our future release...

Thanks,

Amit Kumar
