CSCsc85141: RTMT generates directory connection and replication alarms
Symptom:
RTMT generates directory replication and connection alerts in a Call Manager cluster when directory replication appears to be functioning normally.
The following RTMT alerts are seen while the directory service is up and running.
[RTMT-ALERT] DirectoryReplicationFailed
Directory replication failed .
Monitored precanned object has value of 0.
[RTMT-ALERT] DirectoryConnectionFailed
Directory connection failed .
Monitored precanned object has value of 0.
Conditions:
A Call Manager 4.1(3) cluster running RTMT with more than one subscriber will attempt to test replication status by creating the following object.
"ou=zTestReplStatus--(, ou=CCN, o=cisco.com"
All servers will attempt to create and delete the same object, creating a race condition. RTMT generates alerts regarding the failed replication tests caused by this condition.
Workaround:
This is a cosmetic issue. Directory functionality is not actually broken.
One possible workaround is to disable RTMT alerts for directory replication and connection errors until an upgrade is available to a version that has been fixed for this issue. This workaround has the limitation of not being notified when actual directory replication
errors exist.
