Hi. Maybe there is a better way. But this is my approach for ACE, and also for other clustered, virtual environments I discover both load balancers on their managenet phy address. Then I create pingables for all virtual addresses, instances, an put them in a nice picture I import all relevant mibs via Event configuration (combine mix tools with CLI event files) to have them in, and can manage them easily in my /custom/Events eventdisp and alertmap files. Then SNMP traps send by the virtual addresses are also mapped on pingable models.
The DUPLICATE MAC WITH DIFFERENT IP DETECTED alarm is disabled in general at event level (other option is to add them to your alarm filters) To verify duplicate mac issues, I have a policy to get them listed in a global collection. Regards Erwin From: GATTY Markus [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: maandag 5 december 2011 15:57 To: spectrum Subject: [spectrum] Model a Cisco ACE Hi list, does anybody has experience in modelling a CISCO ACE (load balancer) and all of its contexts. The problem is that the Cisco Ace is using some kind of virtualisation. That means an Ace has its own admin context and a context for each load balancing environment. Each of these contexts has its own ip address. So I'm able to model the admin context and each of the load balancing contexts - but Spectrum has no association between them. So during modelling the different contexts spectrum raises an "DUPLICATE MAC WITH DIFFERENT IP DETECTED" alarm on all contexts on the same box. And if the box will fail, there would be several "DEVICE HAS STOPPED RESPONDING TO POLLS" alarms. But for modelling the whole environment it is necessary to model all the contexts because each of the contexts has its own interfaces. The environment has a similar behaviour like a VMWare ESX Server and its virtual hosts! Any experience or ideas!? Thanks in advance!
