Hi Joseph,

Thanks for your reply. Please find attached the compressed dcmaservice.log file.

Some reference information: I created job 1159 to archive sync one switch - ip address 10.86.194.67. The device is fully accessible to LMS both via SNMP and SSH.

I also upgraded RME from 4.3.0 to 4.3.1.

Thanks,

Jose

RME is trying to copy the vlan.dat to 10.86.195.31.  Is this the correct IP of the RME server?  The copy appears to timeout (i.e. it's not a permissions problem).

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for your reply.

Reading other posts I found out about the Natted IP option and configured it on the server. The number of "Partially Successful" devices decreased but did not clear.

Here's a message I get from one of them:

The device above is a 6509-E running s72033-entservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF1.bin in full IOS mode.

I noticed the device doesn't have a vlan.dat file saved on its flash.

Thanks,

Jose

An update Joseph,

I found a vlan.dat file on the following filesystem:

Directory of const_nvram:/

    1  -rw-        2184                      vlan.dat

129004 bytes total (126820 bytes free)

Thanks,

Jose

The problem here is that RME is unable to telnet to this switch.  RME needs to be able to login to the switch via either telnet or SSH to fetch the vlan.dat.  Make sure that telnet or SSH is allowed, and verify the credentials in DCR for this switch.

Hi Joseph,

The ciscoworks server has full access to the switch as per below. Neither access nor credentials seem to be the issue here.

I've read a few posts where it was stated the need to create a 'dummy' vlan.dat file so that the device would not show as partially successful on the RME job. Is this the case here? If so this is a very strange solution.

Thanks,

Jose

The error is very clear: RME cannot telnet to this switch.  It's trying to connect on tcp/23, and the switch is refusing the connection.  You should be able to see that in a sniffer trace.  If SSH is supposed to be used to connect to this switch, make sure SSH is present in the Config Fetch protocol order at RME > Admin > Config Mgmt > Transport Settings.
