Lee,
We've been struggling with that one for over a year. Cisco is promising a
new release sometime in the next 6 months that will fix the problem. We
had originally set our maps up with all the walls and other barriers
carefully added. As soon as we got the Location Appliance and fired it up,
it crapped out. It took much struggling with Cisco to find out that the
internal data structures were sized for a single building, not a whole
campus. One problem is the limit on objects. Another is the overall limit
on memory consumed by the maps. If I remember right it's 32MB.
I figured we weren't the only ones suffering!!

Subject: Cisco Location Appliance
Am seeing a running condition on our two Cisco Location Appliances,
where we show constant orange error on WCS for hitting the maximum of
2,500 objects tracked- though the WCS itself reports far less. We have
told the appliances to only log clients (not rogues, RFID tags, etc.)
and have cut the history way done as per Cisco. There is no overlap in
network designs assigned to our two servers- meaning that any one
network design is assigned only to a single location server.
Even when WCS says that each location server sees less than 1500
clients, Location Appliance alarm is pegged. My sense is that we may not
the only environment experiencing this condition.
Wondering if anyone else has had to go down this road, and if there has
been any remediation or explanation for the condition identified?
Thanks-
Lee Badman
