    • Leverage vROPs 8.4 Truststore manager in place of Java supplied Truststore manager.
    • Kafka Adapter credential management.
    • Updated dashboards using vROps 8.4 widgets.

  • Multiple vROps support.

    • Smarts is enhanced to support multiple vROps.

  • vRealize Operations Collector Enhancements:

    • Ability to contextually visualize vROps alerts as VMware Telco Cloud Operations notification occurring on respective VMs and Hosts. In previous release, the host mapping was not available.
    • VMware Telco Cloud Operations notifications now include a normalized VM name across vROps and VMware Telco Cloud Operations.
    • VMware Telco Cloud Operations notification data now includes vROps information for easier troubleshooting 

  • Miscellaneous enhancements:​

    • [VM-ER-205]: Certification of Nokia SR-1 device variant in ASAM domain manager.

Resolved Issues

  • SMARTA-1196 / SR-21198225502

    Missing typologies for Nexus 3k devices.

    Resolution: A new flag EnableLACPDataConnection has been added to tpmgr-param.conf file and when enabled TRUE, the LACP based connections are avoided by SMARTS. This has been introduced to handle buggy devices that expose wrong neighbouring device details through LACP MIB.

  • SMARTA-1203 / SR-21196119902

    The status of all interfaces is coming as unknown on VirtualSwitchSystem.

    Resolution: Reconfigure code logic has been modified to avoid deletion of Interface-fault-MIB2 instrumentation classes that belongs to VirtualSwitchSystem.

  • SMARTA-876 / SR-19010078206

    A possible code flaw with topo-split-sync-AM.asl script with respect to AddPending call.

    Resolution: The topo-split-sync-AM.asl code has been modified to add the device IP address to the ADDPending call.

  • SMARTA-1063 / SR-20171774511

    IsValid not initialised in wireless-ext-sys-setting.asl leading to error in domain log.

    Resolution: Modified the post processing script wireless-ext-sys-setting.asl and ext-sys-setting.asl to address the following asl errors:

  • SMARTA-980 / SR-20156100609

    Smarts 10.1, Interfaces (with Vlan description) getting deleted and discovered during re-discovery.

    Resolution: Modified the discovery code logic, not to delete the interface and create back between the asl files: ic-create-interface.asl and ic-cisco-context-data.asl

  • SMARTA-1127 / SR-20180127712

    High memory utilization observed on all the IP domains on Smarts 10.1.2 version.

    Resolution: Refined the code logic in file ic-post-topo-management.asl, that will call manage/unmanage based on network adapters managedState instead of IsManaged thus avoiding unnecessary calls to manage/unmanage over the network adapters.

    Note: It is best recommended to EXPLICITLYL_MANAGED/ECPLICITLY_UNMANAGE the network adapters in the custom code so that they are remain in that exclusive state thus the GA code does not override the status in the subsequent manage/unmanage method.

    To explicitly manage an interface use manage(TRUE); passing TRUE as an argument.
    To explicitly unmanage an interface call unmanage(TRUE); passing TRUE as an argument.

  • SMARTA-279 / SR-19000344106

    In Smarts NPM, the EIGRP - CPU usage hits 100% on Instrumentation perl script.

    Resolution: Perl module has been upgraded to 5.32.0, where this high CPU issue has been resolved.

  • SMARTA-1271 / SR-21215181604

    Unable to discover Wireless access points for SystemObjectID = .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.2170.

    Resolution: Updated the certification for sysoid : .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.2170 and added the WIFI driver to discover the WAP [Wireless Access Points] associated to this device.

  • SMARTA-1075 / SR-20176438112

    Smarts 10.1.0.1 BGP does not discover StackSwitchSystem.

    Resolution: Added the class definition StackSwitchSystem in NPM domain manager to map the same class instance coming from the underlying IP domain manager. 

  • SMARTA-977 / SR-20157674509

    StackSwitchSystem Class missing from SAM 10.1.2.

    Resolution: Class model StackSwitchSystem has been added to SAM domain manager along with the DXA entry to map the same class imported via the underlying IP domain manager.

  • SMARTA-1209 

    Issue in Cisco ACI discovery.

    Resolution: Fixed the code flow in ACI discovery, where discovery of multiple cluster discovery without restart (clean-topology) is handled.

  • SMARTA-999 / SR-20162531710

    Smarts 10.1.x and 9.6 WebConsole does not work with latest Java 1.8. build 26.

    Resolution: Code fixed has been done on the support the latest version of Java 1.8.X.

  • SMARTA-1197 / SR-21199241602

Known Issues

The known issues are grouped as follows.

Known Issues in SAM
  • SMAR-1567

    Installing SAM console on the Linux platform is not creating applications "VMware Smarts Global Console" icon for quick launch. User needs to go to install directory and type sm_gui command only, the icon option is not available. This appears when previous version 9.5.1. or 9.6 console is already installed.

  • VSAC-209

    Default DCF password is not working for DCF SAM-OI communication. Notification will not be pulled from vROps to SAM-OI.

    Workaround: Create a new user and password in DCF at <DCF Location>/Tools/Webservice-Gateway/Default/conf/users.

    For example: admin1:admin123 at users file, and restart the Webservice-Gateway in DCF.

  • SMAR-1444

    All Services are not installed post upgrade for SAM and SAM-Console.

    Workaround:

    Refer Services for the Service Assurance Manager section in VMware Smart Assurance Installation Guide to install services manually.

  • SMARTA-1088 / SR-20168937511

    Cisco ACI related switches are discovered via Cisco APIC are not showing real device name in the display name of its components, instead it shows "node-xxx" as the device name

    Resolution: As Cisco APIC provides actual name for the leaf/spine switches, the DisplayName for components of the switches are extracted and populated from the DisplayName of the switches in the discovery post processor. The parameter 'CiscoACIComponentsRenameEnabled' (default value is TRUE) in tpmgr-param.conf controls the components renaming.

  • VSAC-1065

  • VSAC-261

    SMARTS NCM adapter fails to connect to VSA domain managers when there are a higher number of domains registered with the broker. As broker.getDomainManagers() API returning all domain managers attached to the broker and due to the character variable size restriction at the NCM adapter code, there are failures in processing the domain manager list. The acceptable characters are limited to 256.

    Workaround: Connect to the broker where there is less number of domain managers registered.

  • VSAC-776

    Map nodes are not getting displayed intermittently through dmctl command.

    Workaround: The maps instance gets refreshed in dmctl session when the Console GUI is launched and accessed.

Known Issues in ESM
  • SMAR-1509

    When all the EdgeNodes of NSX-T goes down which has Tier 0 Router due to ESX(Host)Down or VM going down then Compute VMs host Unresponsive will not be explained by the Host(ESX) / VM Down RCA alert.

    Currently there is no workaround available however RCA alert will be shown only impact to Host unresponsive will be not available for NSX-T Compute VMs. In the impact list EdgeNode Down, LogicalRouter(T0) Down will be shown.

  • SMAR-1668

    User needs to mandatorily  discover ESX Servers for getting Virtual Machine Down event. Currently the Virtual Machine Down event is not generated if the corresponding ESX Servers are not discovered in IP Server. So, its recommended to discover Virtual Machines to get proper Root cause events.

  • SA1-576

    When Kafka is not reachable, monitoring failure event appears in SAM after reconfiguration of ESM Server.

    Workaround:

    1. If Kafka server goes down, a notification for VCD monitoring failure appears in SAM once ESM Server is reconfigured.
    2. When Kafka is brought back, the failure notification is cleared from SAM once ESM server is reconfigured.
  • SMAR-1848

    Exception appears when selecting "Tiered application map" by right clicking on any map icon.

  • VSAC-126

    Mapping of ElementName attribute to the device for notification on AggregatePort is missing. ElementName appears as Aggregate Port instance name instead of Device name.

    Workaround: Detach the INCHARGE-AM-PM from SA and underly it again. Once you re-attach INCHARGE-SA-PRES to the domain manager, you may lose all the active notifications. 

  • SA11-1244

    The following error message appears in the ESM log while discovering VCD and its dependant components like NSX-T, vCenter, etc..

    NV_MESSAGE-*-NV_GENERIC-MSG ERR : [Thread-8 DmtObjectFactory]:insert(TransportNodeInterface::10.107.146.14/10.107.146.69::ConnectedVia += Tunnel:): SVIF-E-EREMOTE-Remote error occurred.

Known Issues in IP
  • SMAR-1555

    Objects deleted in IP are not getting deleted in vROps even after object deletion time interval.

    Workaround:

    To delete the objects manually:

    1. Go to Administration > Configuration > Inventory Explorer. 
    2. Select the objects to be deleted and click delete button (Bulk deletion is also supported). 
  • SMAR-1544

    A set of reports are created by default when user installs the Smart Assurance Adapter pack. These reports are retained in the dashboard even after uninstalling the management pack. Ideally, these reports must be deleted as part of the management pack uninstallation process. 

    Workaround:

    User can manually delete the reports from the dashboard.

  • SMAR-1543

    When a new credentials added without any username and password while configuring an instance of the adapter and edit it later with correct username and password, the password field wont be updated resulting the connection failure.

  • SMAR-1441

    Special characters are present after migration from Windows to Linux.

  • SA1-958

    Patch files are getting migrated, when performing migration on ESM 10.0.0.1 and in IP 10.0.0.2 to 10.1.0.0 respectively.

    Workaround:

    This is applicable only if migration is triggered on the below two products and patch versions:

    • ESM - 10.0.0.1 (ESM 10.0 patch 1)
    •  IP - 10.0.0.2 (IP 10.0 Patch 2)

    When performing migration only on the above two versions, you need to follow the below procedure:

    Step 1: Collect the backup from the old installation using sm_migrate utility.

                 -Run 'sm_perl sm_migrate.pl --old=<dir> --archive=<tar/zip> --sitemod=<local_directories>' from  the old installation.

    Step 2: Perform manual migration on the customized files.             

                      -Copy the archive file from ‘step1’ to new host.

                      -Run 'sm_perl sm_migrate.pl --archive=<tar/zip> --new=<dir>' from the new installation.

                      -Once the sm_migrate utility backs up all the customizations under smarts directory (Eg: /opt/InCharge/IP/smarts/.migrate.bkp.10.0.0.2)                         and prompts for merging the customizations with below options, the user has to select “N” to not merge.

                                          a. Press 'n' to skip FileMergeUtilty.

                                          b. Press any other key to start FileMergeUtilty...[y]n

    Step 3: You need to manually copy customizations from backup directory (Eg: /opt/InCharge/IP/smarts/.migrate.bkp.10.0.0.2) to respective local                     directory and rename the files to remove ‘.local’ extension.

Common Issues to all products
  • SMAR-1377

    During product upgrade, patch folder is not highlighted.

  • VSAC-220

    On RHEL 7.8 version, if you start any domain manager as a service, the domain gets registered to a broker using both v4 and v6 IP address space. Due to this issue domain manager v6 entry will go to DEAD state in brcontrol output and the communication between the servers is failing sometimes due to this issue.

    Note: Issue also detected on some machines with RHEL 7.2 and 7.6

    Workaround: To avoid a domain running in v6 mode, allow only v4, by setting the below flag in runcmd_env.sh file:

    SM_IP_VERSIONS=v4

    Restart the domain manager, after updating runcmd_env.sh file.

Known Issues in Smart Assurance Management Pack
  • SMAR-1583

    Few Log messages are tagged as ERROR in the collector log incorrectly.

  • SA1-719

    The vCenter Management Pack does not have any API to detect floating IP. If a VNF (sprout or bono) is configured with floating IP and private IP, only the private IP is used to establish the relationship between VNFs (P-CSCF or I/S-CSCF) and VirtualMachines.

  • VSAC-860

    After successful installation, while viewing the content of management pack the number of dashboards displayed as 0 instead of 11. There is no functional impact due this,  you can still view all the management packs in the dashboard area.

Known Issues in ASAM
  • VSAC-143

    ASAM server is not running in service way, but the user able to run via the Server way. When the user installs any application with java 11 enabled on the VM, ic-serviced (sm_serviced) is also installed, which is compiled with java 11. And, when the user installs another application with java 8 installed (in this case ASAM), then the application crashes during the starting of service (ic-asam). This is because all the executables installed under ASAM bin directory are compiled with java 8 which in turn not compatible with ic-serviced, hence crashing only in the service way starting.

    Workaround: User needs to stop ic-serviced and start it again from the ASAM bin directory and then again try to start the server in service way. Also, the ASAM must be installed on a fresh VM without any other application installed along with it (except SAM CONSOLE Linux which is also on java 8).
