Problems with TM
Anyone else having problems with Technology Manager? It's reporting none of my 3 buildings have checked in over the past 48 hours and is showing a Critical Warning for their online status, yet the Internet to the buildings are all fine.

Re: Problems with TM
I'm seeing the first 3 of 5 haven't checked in. I'm not sure if it's a problem with TM or a new script was pushed out and the firewalls may be functional, but not "calling home".

Re: Problems with TM
I had one not checking in for a while, then two, and now three of five. They all seem to be working just fine, so I attribute it to a TM error. I'm guessing it something in the check in code, not the actual working of the firewall itself.
They seem to have gone out in the order they were configured to the new software, so the last two should stop phoning home in the next week or two.

Re: Problems with TM
I just checked and the only 881to be updated hasn't checked in since last week. I'm not going to hold off upgrading the other 6 until we see what happened.

Re: Problems with TM
I've just checked the only firewall that has the new configuration, in our Stake. It's showing all the Cisco devices (using Mac address), under User, duplicated with a different IP address for each one. The firewall has been reset, don't how or why in the last couple of hours.

Re: Problems with TM
I think I saw that immediately after the upgrade, but it disappeared in time. Not sure/can't remember what triggered it to disappear.Biggles wrote:duplicated with a different IP address for each one.
Two of the three buildings that were out have come back on-line. The last one is on 4G, which tends to go out quite a bit. So that could easily be real.

Re: Problems with TM
The upgrade for this firewall was done early September. So I don't think that is the issue.russellhltn wrote:I think I saw that immediately after the upgrade, but it disappeared in time.

I've just been informed that there was a power cut to the building earlier today, but I'm certain the duplication was there before that happened. As a matter of habit I normally check the firewall status every morning.
The firewall is connected to a UPS so that doesn't explain the reset, unless the power cut was longer than the backup time for the UPS. The TM log shows that communication was lost for approx 37 mins.

Re: Problems with TM
There may be a bug in the firewall iOS that causes it to stop reporting. You should not delay upgrading firewalls for this issue. As noted the firewall is still functional, but it stops “phoning home” to TM. In this case restarting the firewall usually resolves the issue. After a firewall restart it sometimes takes a while for the status to be updated in TM, so be patient.

Re: Problems with TM
As a followup, Sunday afternoon I called the help desk and reported the problem. They said the team that could solve things like that wouldn't be in until Monday and they opened a trouble ticket for me. Before I could call them on Monday, I noticed that around 9:30 am MST one of the firewalls starting reporting again. An hour later another one came online, and about a 1/2 hour later I saw my third one.
If you are still having problems, give the help desk a call. Apparently, they have the connectivity they need to fix things from their end.

Re: Problems with TM
This might not be worldwide yet, but there have been a few updates to TM overnight. Checkout the tab additions.
