Unity Connection 7.1x, web access stops daily?

dmotloch · ‎10-15-2009

Anyone else having this problem? I'm going to open a TAC case, but each day our PUB seems to decide to stop taking web requests (admin, pca, etc.) Just wondering if others are having this prob?

Rebooting the pub is the only way to recover as I don't know of anything I can kick-start via cli.

Thanks.

Hi -

I recommend you install RTMT from the UC server - under System Settings Plugins onto your PC workstation. You can use this tool to inspect your syslog files, application and system event log information. To set this up you will need to assign one of your UC user accounts the Remote Administrator role; System Settings - Advanced - Change Database Proxy to a value other than 0; and then finally Activate the Database Proxy service on the server from Serviceability. Another thing to check in your UC server's Serviceability web page when the problem occurs to see if any services have stopped (Connection Administration under Base Services for example) and provide that information, if applicable, to Cisco TAC. Hope this helps! Ginger

I'll check the Tomcat service next time it happens.... I'm pretty sure it's stopping/crashing.

I've got a case open with TAC on this now. We've got traces setup to capture the problem on Monday as well.

Restarting the tomcat service from the CLI will be a much quicker recovery (thanks for this!)

Now we just need to figure out why this keeps happening every few hours.

I'll update this post when I know more.

Thanks again.

Hi

dmotloch ,

Have you sorted out the problem? We have the same issue here.

That was a long time ago, however, I believe it was a bug and we upgraded to correct it.
