IPSMC & Secmon no longer work after upgrade to 2.1

[mlowery]

During the installation, I got the error:

Interactive SQL

"C:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\MDC\bin\ids\patch\2_1_SP1\CSCsb19306.sql" at Table 'sys_typedel_default' not found.

After continuing the upgrade, when I load the IPSMC, I get:

Problem with File /WEB-INF/screens/devices.jsp!!!Unable to compile C:\Program Files\CSCOpx\MDC\tomcat\work\DEFAULT\ids-config\WEB_0002dINF\screens\devices_1.java:174: Method getIDS5SignatureLevel() not found in class com.cisco.nm.mdc.ids.config.DevicesForm. out.write(myForm.getIDS5SignatureLevel()); ^ 1 error

I hope this will help you in the problem .You can apply the IPS-K9-maj-5.0-1-S149.rpm.pkg major update to the following IDS & IPS

version 4.1 sensors:

- IPS-42xx Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) sensors

- IDS-42xx Cisco Intrusion Detection System (IDS) sensors (except for the

IDS-4220 and the IDS-4230 series)

- WS-SVC-IDSM2 series Intrusion Detection System Module (IDSM-2)

- NM-CIDS IDS Network Module for Cisco 26xx, 3660, and 37xx Router Families

It is not compatible with the IDS-4220 and IDS-4230 series IDS sensors, the

NRS-xx series IDS sensors, or the WS-X6381-IDS series Intrusion Detection System Module

(IDSM).

You must upgrade version 4.0 and earlier sensors to 4.1(1)S47 or later before

applying the 5.0(1)S149 major update. Refer to "Obtaining Software," in Cisco

Intrusion Detection System Appliance and Module Installation and Configuration

Guide Version 4.1 for instructions on upgrading version 4.0 IDS-42xx sensors

to 4.1(1)S47 found at this URL:

The problem is solved. The CD images I downloaded did not have the IDSMC 2.1, but had 2.01. So when I applied SP1 for IDSMC-2.1, it caused Secmon and the IPSMC to fail.

The problem stemmed from incorrect information on Cisco's download page for VMS 2.3, where it stated that the version of IDSMC on the image was 2.01. When I was unable to locate IDSMC 2.1 as a stand alone upgrade (they removed it because it was included in the new VMS 2.3 image), I mistakenly installed SP1 for IDSMC 2.1 since that was the only package that referred to version 2.1.

After downloading and installing IDSMC and Secmon from the new VMS 2.3 CD's, then installing the SP1 for IDSMC 2.1, I was able to successfully see my sensor and re-import the configuration.

Thanks,
