1 Overview
This chapter provides a small overview of the ServerView environment and
deployment - including the communications paths. To keep this in mind will
assist in searching for the cause of trouble.

Architecture
The architecture of ServerView Operations Manager is based on a
management console, a central management station (CMS), and the managed
servers.

Fujitsu PRIMERGY ServerView 5


Overview

Management console
A browser-based console allows you to manage the
servers and display the determined data. The following
can be used as a browser:
– Microsoft Windows with Internet Explorer or Mozilla
Firefox
– SUSE/Red Hat Linux with default Web browser
released with distribution
The Java Runtime Environment must also be installed.
Central management station (CMS)
On the central management station the ServerView
Operations Manager is installed. The optional
components of the ServerView Suite, such as Virtual IO-
Manager, are also installed on the central management
station and integrated in Operations Manager.
The global user management of ther ServerView Suite
and of the iRMC S2/S3 each centrally stores users for all
Central Management Stations (CMS) / iRMC S2/S3 in the
directory of an LDAP directory service. This enables you
to manage the users on a cetral server. The users can
therefore be used by all the CMS and iRMC S2/S3 that are
connected to this server in the network.
The ServerView Suite currently supports the following
directory services:
– OpenDS/OpenDJ (running in embedded mode on
JBoss 5.1 resp. JBoss 7).
– Microsoft Active Directory
During the installation of ServerView Operations Manager
you have the option to choose ServerView’s internal
directory service (OpenDJ). For further information about
the use of directory services with ServerView, refer to the
manual ’’User Management in ServerView’’ (see
"Documentation for ServerView Suite" on page 9).

Overview

The data which ServerView creates and uses is stored in


an SQL database. The following SQL databases are part
of the ServerView Operations Manager installation:
– SQL Server 2008 R2/2005 Express under Windows
Server 2012/2008
– PostgreSQL under Linux
However, other SQL databases can be used.
The Java Runtime Environment is required on the central
management station.
How to install the ServerView Operations Manager is
explained in the following manuals:
– Installing ServerView Operations Manager Software
under Windows
– Installing ServerView Operations Manager Software
under Linux
Managed servers
On the managed servers, ServerView agents or CIM
providers must be installed, which supply the information
to the central management station. ServerView RAID
Manager and ServerView Update Agent should be also
installed on the managed servers.
The installation of ServerView agents on virtual machines
(VMs) is not released.
– The ServerView agents are available for Windows,
Linux, VMware ESX and Citrix XenServer.
– ServerView CIM providers are available for Windows,
Linux and VMware ESXi.
Currently ServerView Operations Manager only
supports ServerView CIM providers for VMware ESXi.

2 General troubleshooting
guidelines

2.1 Troubleshooting proceeding


There are some steps you can take on your own to qualify your problem. In
some cases the problem is solved on this path. If it is necessary to contact our
Helpdesk, an exact description of your problem is very helpful and improves a
lot.
Ê Can you isolate the problematic behavior?
What factors contribute to the problematic behavior, but are not the cause of
the behavior?
Ê Can you retrace the situation shortly before the occurrence of the
problematic behavior?
Ê Can you locate the problematic behavior?
On which node or communication path in the management network the
problematic behavior is generated?
Ê Can you reproduce the problematic behavior?
Reproducibility is a helpful link for troubleshooting.
Ê Check the respective log files.
The ServerView environment produces some log files in various locations -
see "How to gather diagnostic files" on page 12.

How to gather diagnostic files General troubleshooting guidelines

2.2 How to gather diagnostic files


The ServerView environment produces some log files in various locations.
After Operations Manager is installed on the central management station, a
script to collect important diagnostic data (ServerView and JBoss log files) is
available in the installation folders.
For diagnostic purposes you can also send the collected data to your Fujitsu
Customer Service desk.
To collect this data, proceed als follows:

On Windows:
Ê Switch to the directory Programs - Fujitsu - ServerView Suite.
Ê To start the collection double-click the file CmsCollect.bat.
The result of the collection is stored in the zip file cmscollect.zip in the directory
...\ServerView Suite\svom\data.

On Linux:
Ê Switch to the directory /opt/fujitsu/ServerViewSuite/svom/ServerView/Tools.
Ê To start the collection execute the following command: sh cmscollect.sh.
The result of the collection is stored in the file cmscollect.tar.gz in the directory
/var/log/fujitsu/’ServerViewSuite.

2.2.5 Database Server Log Files

For certain database related problems, it may be necessary to collect the log
files of the database system used by your SVOM installation. Which files are to
be collected depends on your installation type.
I If a remote database server is used in your installation, the database
server log files are not on the central management station, but on the
remote SQL Server / PostgreSQL machine.

Installation on Windows:
Where you can find the SQL Server error logs:
Ê Select All Programs - Microsoft SQL Server <version> - Configuration Tools -
SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Ê Click on SQL Server <version> Services.
Ê In the right pane, select SQL Server (<instance name>).
Ê From the context menu select Properties - tab Advanced.
Dump Directory contains the path to the log files.
I <version> is the SQL Server version used by your SOM installation
(2005 / 2008 / 2008 R2).
<instance name> depends on your installation of SQL Server. When the
automatically installed SQL Server supplied by SVOM is used, the
instance name is SQLSERVERVIEW.

Installation on Linux:
PostgreSQL log files are located in the following folder:
/opt/fujitsu/ServerViewSuite/Postgresql/pgsql/data/pg_log.

3 Troubleshooting issues in SVOM
- User Management

3.1 Problems with JRE installation


SVOM needs Oracle’s Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on CMS (Central
Management Station) and MC (Management Console). The Management
Console is started in a browser, therefore the Java plugin-in is needed. The
installation of Server JRE is not sufficient.

Problem:
Browser error messages (on MC, CMS) with reference to Java versions.

Cause:
The installed JRE (MC, CMS) has an unsupported version.

Solution:
Make sure the Java Runtime Environment is installed:
– On Windows, check the list of installed programs in the Control Panel.
– On Linux, check the installed rpm packages.

Check whether the correct JRE version is used:


– JRE version
Required versions are:
● JRE 1.7.0_25 (JRE 7) or newer for all SVOM versions >= 6.10
I The use of the JRE 7 is strongly recommended, as Oracle
doesn’t support JRE 6 anymore.
● JRE 1.6.0_45 (JRE 6) for SVOM versions <= 6.00.09

Fujitsu PRIMERGY ServerView 21


JRE User Management

– 32-bit vs. 64-bit JRE


While the 32-bit version as well as the 64-bit version is of the JRE
supported, you must pay attention to use the correct combination of
JRE and browser:
● Windows:
64-bit JRE can be used on 64-bit operating systems. If you use a
64-bit browser, then the 64-bit version of the JRE is required. The
32-bit JRE is necessary for 32-bit browsers.
On Windows Server 2012 a 32-bit JRE is necessary as IE10
starts 32-bit tabs.
● Linux:
64-bit JRE can be used on 64-bit operating systems. In this case
you need a 64-bit browser.
SLES 10: If you use the SLES 10 system for monitoring, 32-bit
JRE is required.
– For support of IPV6 JRE 7 is necessary. IPV6 can only be used on
Windows Server 2008 or higher or on Linux.

Check the system configuration:


There is information about combination of browser versions and JRE
versions on Oracle’s web page:
– JRE 6:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/system-configurations-
135212.html#browsers
– JRE 7:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/config-
417990.html#browsers

22 Fujitsu PRIMERGY ServerView


User Management JRE

Check whether the java plug-in is configured correctly:


Ê Use Oracle’s java plugin check page:
http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
Ê Click on the Verify Java version link.
Ê If you see that the expected Java technology version is reported, then
the plugin is enabled and found.

Check that your browser knows about the Java plugin:


– Firefox:
Choose from the menu Tools - Addons - Plugins.
– Internet Explorer:
Choose from the menu Tools - Manage Addons.
– Linux:
Take into account that the plug-in has to be configured manually:
Ê Create a symbolic link to the libnpjp2.so file in the browser plugins
directory.
Ê Go to the plugins sub-directory under the Firefox installation
directory
cd <Firefox installation directory>/plugins.
Ê Create the symbolic link
ln -s <Java installation directory>/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so.
Refer to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/manual-plugin-
install-linux-136395.html for a more detailed description of the Linux
java installation.
Check that the newest java plug-in is used:
There could be just one plugin registered in the browser.

FUJITSU PRIMERGY ServerView 23


JRE User Management

Check that java is enabled:


– Java Control Panel:
I There is a detailed description of the Java Control Panel on
Oracle’s web page:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/deployment/
deployment-guide/jcp.html.
Launch Java Control Panel as Administrator if you want to
change some settings.
Ê Select Java Control Panel - Java - view.
Ê Check whether the enabled checkbox is selected.
If this checkbox is not selected Java Plug-in will not use this JRE.
– Browser plugins/addons list:
I You find a detailed description of enabling java in a web
browser on the web page:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/enable_browser.xml.
Ê Check whether the plugin is enabled/activated.

Check that the Security warning:


Block potentially unsafe components from being run is disabled:
I There is a detailed description of the Java Control Panel on
Oracle’s web page:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/deployment/depl
oyment-guide/jcp.html.
Launch Java Control Panel as Administrator if you want to change
some settings.
Ê Select Java Control Panel - Advanced - mixed code security verification.
Ê Select Enable - hide warning and run with protections.

24 Fujitsu PRIMERGY ServerView


User Management JRE

Check whether you have access to the Internet:


Beginning with JRE 1.7.0_25 signing certificates are checked per default
to ensure that they have not been revoked.
These online revocations checks might have impacts on startup
performance of the ServerView applets. In case of managed networks
and without access to the Internet (resulting in no access to the
revocation services provided by Certificate Authorities) you will see a
significant delay in startup times.
Ê To avoid such delay, it is possible to disable online revocation
checking through the Java Control Panel.

Figure 3: Java Control Panel: Enable blacklist revocation check

FUJITSU PRIMERGY ServerView 25


JRE User Management

Oracle recommends this disabling of revocation checks only in


managed environments as it decreases security protections.
I For a more detailed description please refer to the release
notes of JRE 1.7.0_25:

3.2.1 CMS is not reachable via fully-qualified hostname

I Details on the JBoss log files see "JBoss log files" on page 14.
Problem:
CMS is not reachable via fully-qualified hostname.

Cause:
Maybe there is a wrong (old) fully-qualified hostname in the registry.

Solution:
Maybe there is a wrong (old) fully-qualified hostname in the registry.
Example: domain name has changed, the old name remains in the registry
entry.

like:
Failed to boot JBoss:
org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBRuntimeException: Failed to
create a new SAX parser ….

Cause:
Wrong xerces or xml parser related jar files on the CMS system.

Solution:
Ê Check if you java JRE environment has been modified. If there are additional
jar files in %JAVA_HOME%\lib\ext (Windows) resp. $JAVA_HOME/lib/ext
(Linux), like older versions of xerxes.jar, there will be problems with starting
JBoss.
Ê In this case you have to remove this additional jar files or install another

3.3 CAS (Central Authentication Service) login


fails
When there is a problem with the login, the reason lies in CAS itself, or, more
probably, in the used directory service.
If you had typed the username and password, and there appears no ServerView
application but an error message expressing that there is some problem with
LDAP (e.g. like the one shown in 0), then most probably there is something
wrong with the Directory Service. Currently, two directory services can be used
with SVOM, namely OpenDS/OpenDJ (see 3.3.3 on page 39) and Active
Directory (see 3.3.4 on page 40, 3.3.6 on page 42, 3.3.6 on page 42).

3.3.2 ServerView application does not start

Problem:
You had typed the username and password, and there appears no ServerView
application but only a white screen.

Cause:
There are a variety of errors which can cause the above problem. Fortunately
in most cases entries in the log file “server.log” of JBoss gives hints on the root
cause of the problem:
1. Link local IPv6 configuration
In server.log there is a javax.net.ssl.SSLException with cause
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException.
2. Problem with the server certificate of the CMS
In server.log there is a javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException with cause
java.security.cert.CertificateException: No subject alternative DNS name matching
<FQDN of CMS> found..

Solution:
1. Link local IPv6 configuration:
Ê If the CMS FQDN’s name resolution on the CMS yields an IPv6 address
which is only link local, then try to disable the IPv6 protocol stack and
instead enable the IPv4 stack.
2. Problem with the server certificate of the CMS:
You had replaced the self-signed certificate of the CMS:
Ê If you had replaced the self-signed certificate of the CMS by an
own certificate, then double-check its attributes, particularly its
common name and its subject alternative names.
You will probably have to recreate the certificate.
You had not replaced the self-signed certificate of the CMS:
If you had not replaced the self-signed certificate of the CMS, then
perform the following steps:
Ê Rename the key store and the trust store of JBoss, to keystore.prev
resp. cacerts.priv.

Cause:
1. There is no SSL certificate reachable.

Problem:
You had typed the username and password, and there appears no ServerView
application but an error message concerning a no valid certificate or refusal
from LDAP.

Cause:
If the server name changed after installation the server certificate is longer valid.
The reason is that the server certificate of the CMS is only valid for the FQN
specified with the setup. LDAP will refuse the connection.

Solution:
Ê In this case you will have to change the installation of SVOM with Modify
installation and set the new FQN of the server.
Ê Modify installation will create a new certificate.

CAS User Management

Cause:
You get this error when another program is listening on the LDAPS port rather
than the configured directory server. If you look into the file server.log, then you
will see an entry like this one:

connection handler defined in configuration entry cn=LDAPS
Connection Handler,cn=Connection Handlers,cn=config was
unable to bind to 0.0.0.0:1474: IOException(Address already
in use)
...

Solution:
1. If you had just installed SVOM, then the probably simplest solution is to
reboot the CMS, because the setup procedure of SVOM does reserve the
ports which SVOM and JBoss need for their own.
This means that if another program had gotten one of these ports from the
OS, then it will get another one after the reboot.

44 Fujitsu PRIMERGY ServerView


User Management CAS

2. If you had already rebooted the CMS, or cannot reboot it for some reason,
then you probably want to identify the other program listening on the LDAPS
port, and abort it.
You can, for instance, use the netstat tool, which is available in Windows as
well as in Linux, to identify the program.
Ê The call netstat -ano delivers the list of all currently active ports along with
the process IDs (PIDs) of the programs listening on the respective ports,
as shown by this example:

Example:
Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign State PID


Address
TCP 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4000
TCP 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4000
...
TCP 0.0.0.0:1325 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4768
TCP 0.0.0.0:1474 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4360
TCP 0.0.0.0:3168 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4000
TCP 0.0.0.0:3169 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4768
TCP 0.0.0.0:3170 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4768
...
As we can see here, the PID of the program occupying the LDAPS port
is 4360.

Windows:
Using the Windows tasklist tool you can easily identify the program:
Ê First create a file containing the current task list with the call TASKLIST
/V /FO LIST > TASKLIST.LST.
Ê Then open the file TASKLIST.LST using a text editor, and search the PID
number.
You will find an entry like this:

PID: 4360
Session Name: RDP-Tcp#7
Session#: 0
Mem Usage: 5.144 K
Status: Running
User Name: PONTRESINA\Administrator
CPU Time: 0:00:00
Window Title: Port Listener

Linux:
On Linux you can use the system tool ps for that purpose:
Ê Calling ps –p <PID> delivers the information of the wanted program
only.
You should now have the information necessary to abort or even uninstall
the program.
Ê After having aborted the disturbing program, you must restart the JBoss

3.3.8 CAS Communication Errors from Managed Node -


Connection refused (CMS)

For some actions services on the managed node must be able to connect to the
CAS service on the management station.

Problem:
It might happen that on management station side only the hint on CAS
communication error is visible - in most cases Connection refused is displayed.

Cause:
1. RedHat 6:
In RedHat 6 it is necessary to add CAS port 3170 into IPv4 AND IPv6 firewall
of the management station.
Otherwise it might happen that an communiction error will be displayed (e.g.
for PrimeCollect calls). System error text in traces would be Connection
refused.
2. VMware ESX:
For VMware ESX managed node it is necessary not only to define incoming
portnumbers but also output portnumbers.
Otherwise there might be Connection refused situations and CAS
communication error when the managed node tries to contact CAS service on
the management station.

Solution:
1. RedHat 6:
Ê Add CAS port 3170 into IPv4 AND IPv6 firewall of the management
station.
2. VMware ESX:
Ê For VMware ESX managed node it is necessary not only to define
incoming portnumbers but also output portnumbers.

3.5.2 Missing or wrong CA-certificate/ hostname check


problems on managed node side

Problem:
Error message concerning missing or wrong CA-certificate on managed node
side or concerning hostname check problems.

Cause:
1. Scheduled tasks send the CMS key certificate and the provider on managed
node side like update agent provider requires full hostname check. To do so
it is necessary that the managed node can find the request IP address or the
name(s) assigned to this IP address inside the CMS key certificate.
2. Normal request working with RBAC require a call back from the managed
node to the management station to validate the security token. This requires
the ability that the full quailified name inside corresponding config file is
known to the managed node.

Solution:
For problems for servers not addressable by DNS servers it might help to add
additional entries inside the managed node local hosts file for the CMS.

– SV Update Manager Win/LX (applet of SV Operations Manager)
>=V5 (includes Remote Connector Service >1.06)

Ê Therefore look up the log file server.log (as described in "JBoss log files"
on page 14s), and look for occurrences of the phrase port ... already in use,
or address already in use.

3.7.4 No connection to the Configuration Manager:


Request Timeout - error 408 (SCM)

Problem:
The connection in SVOM to the managed mode is working well, the server
status is shown as OK, Test connectivity shows all OK, but the ServerView
Configuration Manager (SCM) is not able to connect to the managed node:
Request Timeout” – error 408.

Figure 13: No connection to SCM: Request timeout -1

Figure 14: No connection to SCM: Request timeout -2

74 Fujitsu PRIMERGY ServerView


User Management Connection problems

Cause:
In SVOM normally the browser hosts JAVA applets (e.g. Single system view) that
communicate with the CMS to get data. The CMS then queries its managed
nodes and replies data back to the browser’s applet.

Figure 15: No connection to SCM: Data transmission paths in SVOM

Whereas most of the SVOM applications communicate to the managed node


via CMS (figure 15 - green path), the SCM applet directly communicate (from
the client’s browser node) to the managed nodes (figure 15 - red path).
1. Managed nodes are in other network than client PC and CMS – protected
by a firewall:
Normally a firewall allows communication over port 80; other outgoing ports
may be blocked. Since the client applications use port 80 for communication
and SNMP traffic remains within the protected network, SVOM can operate
properly.
SCM requests however are blocked because they use port 3172 to
communicate directly to the managed nodes.
2. Managed nodes are accessed by a link-local IPv6 address:
The client is using IPv4 connecting to the CMS and the CMS is using a link-
local IPv6 address for communication to the managed nodes. Since CMS
and managed nodes are in the same IPv6 subnet, they can connect to each
other. But a link-local IPv6 address is not routed by any IPv6 router!

FUJITSU PRIMERGY ServerView 75


Connection problems User Management

So there is no direct connection from the client to the managed nodes,


whereas the client can properly connect to the CMS by IPv4.

Solution:
1. Managed nodes are in other network than client PC and CMS – protected
by a firewall:
Ê Allow TCP port 3172 (ingoing) on the firewall configuration.
2. Managed nodes are accessed by a link-local IPv6 address:
Ê Use an IPv4 or a global unicast IPv6 address in your Server List for
connecting to the managed nodes.

User Management SQL Server

3.8 Remote SQL Server Not Valid


Affected versions:
– SVOM 6.00 and higher

Problem:
Sometimes you receive the following installation error after having selected the
option Use existing remote SQL Server:

Figure 16: Error message: Remote SQL Server Not Valid

Cause:
For this situation, two cases come into consideration:
1. You have chosen a remote SQL Server which is already used by another
CMS:
You are trying to install from a different Central Management Station to the
same remote SQL Server already in use by another ServerView Operations
Manager installation.
This is not allowed.
I Please see further information in the manual „ServerView Operations
Manager, Installation Guide under Windows“, chapter „Remotely on
a different system“.
2. Your previous ServerView installation was not uninstalled properly:
You are trying to install from a CMS into a remote SQL Server used only by
this installation. Your old ServerView Operations Manager installation was
uninstalled before.

FUJITSU PRIMERGY ServerView 77


SQL Server User Management

In rare cases it may happen that the database was not deleted and
uninstalled properly.

Solution:
1. Use a dedicated SQL Server instance for each ServerView Operations
Manager installation.
Remote SQL Server
If you want to proceed with using a remote SQL Server, you must use
or possibly install another SQL Server instance for the new
ServerView Operations Manager installation.
Please see chapter „Parallel (side-by-side) installation of SQL
Server“ in the manual.
Local SQL Server
Alternatively, use or install a local SQL Server on the CMS. If a free
edition of SQL Server is suitable for your installation, you may select
the option Install free edition of SQL Server in the installation dialogue
Select SQL Server.
I Observe the database size limits described in the ServerView
installation manual for SQL Server Express Editions.
2. Proceed as follows:
1. On the CMS, check whether Fujitsu ServerView Operations Manager is still
installed under Programs and Features.
If not, proceed as follows:
2. Backup the ServerViewDB database.
3. Call SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the remote SQL
Server instance you have chosen.
4. Expand Databases, right-click the entry ServerViewDB and select Delete.
5. Confirm the operation in the Delete Object dialogue with OK.
6. Then retry the ServerView Operations Manager installation.

I Starting with ServerView Operations Manager 6.12, the error


explanation text in the message box shown below was adapted to reflect
the two possible error causes described.
Up to V6.11 the error box contains the wrong instruction for case 1 on
page 77 unfortunately. Renaming the file ServerViewDB.ini and the
database ServerViewDB is not recommended. The name of the
ServerView database must never be changed for an existing SVOM
installation. This is also emphasized in the manual ’’ServerView
Operations Manager. Installation Guide under Windows’’.
