Issue/Introduction

cdm_mcs_template 6.81 Setup CDM (Enhanced) is not deploying the latest probe, 6.81-MC and instead deploys 6.80-MC

Environment

Release : 20.4

Component : UIM - MON_CONFIG_SERVICE_TEMPLATES

Cause

This is a known issue with cdm_mcs_template 6.81 caused by the probe version dependency.

Resolution

1. Download cdm_mcs_template 6.82, CDM-MC 6.82 and CDM 6.82

2. Deploy cdm_mcs_template 6.82 to the UIM Server/Primary Hub

3. Migrate the template using the MCS probe utility if mon_config_service -> migration -> enable_auto_migration key is set to false.

Example:

<migration>
   enable_auto_migration = false
</migration>

Note: If the enable_auto_migration key is set to true, the migration will automatically kick off after the template is deployed and the migration steps below can be skipped.

Steps to migrate:

a.  From Infrastructure Manager, highlight the mon_config_service probe on the primary hub, then enter <ctrl>p.  From Admin Console, select the "View Probe Utility in New Window" option for the mon_config_service probe on the primary hub.

b.  From the probe commandset list, select the activate_probe_templates_package command

c.  Provide the name of the probe for the probe_name argument, and the <probe>_mcs_templates version for the templates_package_version argument.
These values can be found in the probe_name and probe_template_package_version columns of the SSRV2ProbeTemplatesPackage table.

mon_config_service probe utility command:  activate_probe_templates_package
probe_name:  cdm
templates_package_version:  6.82

d. Select the Play button (green arrow) to execute the command.

4. Newly created CDM Setup Enhanced profiles should now deploy the latest CDM-MC probe version in the Archive. In this scenario, 6.82
