C.5.1.1 EM Declares Successful Node Re-sync When Node Mode Is 3
MGX nodes are managed by OOEMC component in Cisco MGM. Equipment Management (EM) uses
coldstart, warm start, and periodic resync to sync up network data. Each of these resync methods will
involve configuration file upload, parsing, and DB population. Node mode in node table indicates the
state of the sync up process. The possible node modes are 1, 2, 3 and 5. Expected mode for a successful
node resync is 3. If the node mode stays in other mode for a long period of time, it indicates some kind
of resync problem. Keep in mind that any sync up problem could be caused by switch, SNMP, FTP, and
OOEMC itself. User needs to branch out to different areas for identifying the root cause of any sync up
problem.
