Issue/Introduction

By design, removing users from device configurations does not trigger a new config revision

Environment

NCM - 10.1.x

Resolution

By design, removing users from device configurations does not trigger a new config revision. In order to capture this change, the following modifications must be made to each driver

Example: If it is a CiscoIOSSwitch class, go to this location and get the package file. 

$VOYENCE_HOME/package/pkgxml/CiscoIOSSwitch/CiscoIOSSwitch.pkg
$VOYENCE_HOME/custompackage/pkgxml/CiscoIOSSwitch/CiscoIOSSwitch.pkg (files in /custompackage will only appear if a system administrator creates customizations and places files in this directory)

Comment out the below line in CiscoIOSSwitch.pkg will create a DCS for adding as well as deleting the username: 

<!-- <IgnoreLineRegex><![CDATA[^username]]></IgnoreLineRegex> -->

Note regarding resolution/steps above:

  • Changes need to be carried out in both NCM Application Server and Device Server.
  • For the .pkg files, check permission is 'root:voyence' or as same as permission in NCM Application/Device server package directory.
