Defect Information

Defect ID Headline
CSCvx19005 false bwCPUMon alerts at midnight post ap372024

Problem Description

Cisco Broadworks patch ap375018 will fail to apply if patch ap372024 is not already applied on the server.

Background

If ap375018 is installed before ap372024 is applied, the patch application will fail to install correctly. This is due to a script required by ap375018 that was introduced in ap372024, and thus would not be available during the installation process.

Problem Symptom

Once BroadWorks patch ap372024 is applied, administrators might begin to see alerting at midnight server time from the bwCPUIdleTimeLimitReached alarm. This will continue until patch ap375018 is applied.

Workaround/Solution

These patches are now available on the Cisco Software Download Center and must be applied to correct the issue:

Release 22

Release 23

Release 24

This update was re-released to include a fix for the order of operations issue that was encountered by installing it out of order.

The version of BroadWorks that is currently deployed as well as the patches activated can be checked by executing the get versions all command from the CLI. More information on how to check the patch level can be found in section 8.2 of the Cisco Broadworks Maintenance Guide.
