"VCS database failure: Please contact your Cisco support representative"
The support representative will help you work through the following steps:
1.
Take a system snapshot and provide it to your support representative.
2.
.
3.
Restore that VCS’s database by restoring a backup taken on that VCS previously.
4.
.
A second method is possible if the database does not recover:
1.
Take a system snapshot and provide it to TAC.
2.
.
3.
Log in as root and run
clusterdb_destroy_and_purge_data.sh
4.
Restore that VCS’s database by restoring a backup taken on that VCS previously.
5.
.
Note
:
clusterdb_destroy_and_purge_data.sh
is as dangerous as it sounds – only use this command in conjunction with
instructions from your support representative.
Cisco TMS Warnings
Cisco TMS Cluster Diagnostics
If Cisco TMS cluster diagnostics reports a difference in configuration on VCS peers, it is comparing the output of
https://<ip address>/alternatesconfiguration.xml
for each VCS.
To manually check the differences, on a Unix / Linux system, run:
wget --user=admin --password=<password> --no-check-certificate https://<IP or FQDN of
VCS
>/alternatesconfiguration.xml
for each of the VCS peers, then use
diff
to check for differences.
Conference Factory Template Does Not Replicate
This is by design; the Conference Factory %% value is NOT shared between cluster peers and the Conference
Factory application configuration is NOT replicated across a cluster.

VCS’s External Manager Protocol Keeps Getting Set to HTTPS
Cisco TMS can be configured to force specific management settings on connected systems. This includes ensuring
that a VCS uses HTTPS for feedback. If enabled, Cisco TMS will (on a time period defined by Cisco TMS) re-configure
the VCS’s System > External manager Protocol to HTTPS.
