Need help troubleshooting CiscoWorks on Solaris

[evannerash]

Thanks for the help in advance...

We've just recently installed our CiscoWorks on Solaris. We've had it justlong enough to configure all of our network devices into the database and start some use.

Unfortunately, we had a power outage in our building where our backup power also failed. The server crashed very unceremoniously. The server itself came back up with no issues, but we are unable to reach CiscoWorks with a browser. There were no fsck's to be done and all services up and running.

I've checked the support page for troubleshooting guides. There's one for CiscoWorks for Windows, but nothing for CiscoWorks for Solaris. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place?

The error message from the browser (firefox):

Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.

I have one Cisco process up:

root 678 1 3 13:53:52 ? 95:19 /opt/CSCOpx/objects/dmgt/dmgtd.sol

No apache processes.

We don't have another working server that I can use to compare with.

Any hints or starting points are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Post the /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/etc/regdaemon.xml file, the daemons.log, and the dmgtd.log.

That's a lot of info, so I'll give you what should be the relevant info.

root@CiscoWorks # more daemons.log

ERROR: open file dmgtd failedWARNING: dmgtd exiting now: (thread:1 sig:15)

INFO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> REACTOR thread (tid=1) exited; rc=1.

ERROR: open file dmgtd failed

root@CiscoWorks #

Two messages in dmgtd.log from 7/15/09 when it was started back up:

Jul 15 14:33:01 CiscoWorks dmgt[683]: [ID 921214 local0.info] #3001:TYPE=INFO:Us

ing port: tcp/42340.

Jul 15 14:33:01 CiscoWorks dmgt[683]: [ID 215912 local0.info] #3003:TYPE=INFO:No

application started at start time.

(nothing else until today when I rebooted)

The /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/etc/regdaemon.xml is attached.

Thanks!

Post the /opt/CSCOpx/objects/dmgt/dmgtd.conf along with the ls -l output of the dmgt directory.

[evannerash]

Here's the ls -la:

root@CiscoWorks # ls -la /opt/CSCOpx/objects/dmgt/

total 1018

It looks like the dmgtd.conf file was backed up and emptied out 3 days before the crash. I'll attach the dmgtd.conf.backup file.

Thanks!

That's the problem. Copy dmgtd.conf.backup to dmgtd.conf, then restart dmgtd, and you should be good to go. Make sure dmgtd.conf is owned by casuser:casusers.

[evannerash]

That worked like a charm! Thank you so much for your help.
