Issue/Introduction

The Operator Console (OC) was updated to UIM version 20.4 but the wasp probe does not start and throws a Max. restarts in the wasp.log and/or takes a very long time to start.

How can we uninstall, reinstall and configure wasp in 20.40?

Environment

  • Release: 20.4/20.41/20.42
  • Component: UIM OPERATOR CONSOLE - WASP & CORE
  • wasp probe

Cause

  • wasp.cfg - possible corruption

Resolution

Here are the steps to safely uninstall, reinstall and configure wasp in 20.40.

(All steps and results tested in UIM 20.4/20.41/20.42)

On the Operator Console (OC) robot,

1. Copy and save (backup) the entire wasp folder in a safe place for later restore of 1 or more sections if needed.

2. Deactivate wasp

3. Rt-click and delete the wasp probe.

4. Delete the existing, current wasp probe folder.

5. Restart the OC Nimsoft Robot Watcher service.

6. Redeploy the wasp probe v20.40 from your local archive on the Primary hub.

7. Under the wasp <setup> section, set the data_engine key in wasp.cfg to the NimBUS address of the data_engine on the Primary hub, 

    e.g., data_engine = /<uim_domai>/<uim_hub>/<uim_robot>/data_engine

8. wasp should start and get a port and a PID but if not, rt-click and Deactivate wasp.

9. Activate wasp.

10. Redeploy the version-specific wasp webapps from the local archive on the Primary hub.

ump        20.40
wasp_alarmviewer_api      20.40
wasp_service_wrapper      20.40
nisapi_wasp       20.40
ump_operatorconsole      20.40
ump_cabi        4.25
ump_slm       20.40
ump_reportscheduler      20.10
mcsuiapp_portlet      20.40
ump_dashboard       20.40
ump_accountadmin      20.40
policy_management_ws      20.40

11. Set the loglevel to 5, and set a logsize of 50000.

12. Set the Java min/max memory settings to at least 2048 and 4096 respectively as a start.

13. Update wasp.cfg ump_common section in wasp to the appropriate probe locations, eg.,

<ump_common>
   nas = /<uim_domain>/<uim_hub>/<uim_robot>/nas
   sla_engine = /<uim_domain>/<uim_hub>/<uim_robot>/sla_engine
   automated_deployment_engine = /<uim_domain>/<uim_hub>/<uim_robot>/automated_deployment_engine
   discovery_server =/<uim_domain>/<uim_hub>/<uim_robot>discovery_server
   lists_use_java_cache = false
   mcs_ui_app_url = /<uim_domain>/<uim_hub>/<uim_robot>/mcs-ui-app/
   policy_management_ws = /<uim_domain>/<uim_hub>/<uim_robot>/policy_management_ws
   maintenance_mode = /<uim_domain>/<uim_hub>/<uim_robot>/maintenance_mode
   ems = /<uim_domain>/<uim_hub>/<uim_robot>/ems
   mpse = /<uim_domain>/<uim_hub>/<uim_robot>/mpse
   sla_engine = /<uim_domain>/<uim_hub>/<uim_robot>/sla_engine
   udm_manager = /<uim_domain>/<uim_hub>/<uim_robot>/udm_manager (if still applicable to the UIM 20.4 CU version you're running)
</ump_common>

14. Deactivate wasp
 
15. Activate wasp

16. Access the OC Portal and the pages should render as expected

      http://<your_oc_robot><example.com>/operatorconsole_portlet/overview

17. Manually deploy the updated, version-specific OC webapp components for OC 20.4 CU <#> from here:

      DX Unified Infrastructure Management - Cumulative Updates & Patches

18. Deploy these packages listed below, manually to the OC Robot.

mcsuiapp_portlet-20.4.1.zip
policy_management_ws-20.4.1.zip
uim_reportscheduler-20.4.1.zip
ump_dashboard-20.4.1.zip
ump_operatorconsole-20.4.1.zip
ump_slm-20.4.1.zip
wasp_alarmviewer_api-20.4.1.zip

19. Activate wasp.

20. The wasp probe should then start up within 3-5 minutes without any significant delay.

Additional Information

Alternatively, this approach can also be tested:

  1. In IM, Deactivate the OC robot wasp probe
  2. RDP and login to the OC Robot machine
  3. Open wasp.cfg ~\Nimsoft\probes\service\wasp
  4. Select the wasp probe section <ump_common>
  5. Edit the ump_common section by adding a new parameter/key

         wasp = /<domain name>/<hub name>/<OC_robot_name>/wasp
