RE: Date Time incorrect after a power reset

2013-04-09T22:43:36Z

Hi John, Understood. When you do a soft reload of the router meaning that you type 'reload', the service module is not affected which is by design. This is why the time is not lost. However, powering down the router will obviously power the service module down as well and the time is lost. When the system is powered back up, ESXI will need to synch with the NTP server which can take several minutes. Until that synch occurs ESXI will sit at its default date. Thanks, Brett

John, This is because of the SRE module had two RTC (Real time clock) chips. Only one had a backup battery and ESXI recognizes the RTC without back up. So when you do a Power reset the time goes back to 2008/2007 (depending on the time zone). After the power cycle since the time goes to 2008 the NTP sync takes longer than usual.

RE: Date Time incorrect after a power reset

2013-04-09T21:25:43Z

Hi John, The time is not persisted during a reload, but the NTP server should sync so that correct time is given after a short period of time. There is a scenario where the synch may not occur, and I've provided the issue and workaround below. This information is in the Release Notes as well. [color=black]Symptom[/color]: If the VMware vSphere HypervisorTM clock is manually set using the vSphere Client GUI, and then an NTP server is added to the clock settings, the Cisco SRE Service Module fails to synchronize with the NTP server. [color=black]Condition[/color]: This problem can occur if the clock is manually set using the vSphere Client GUI, and at a later date, an NTP server is added to the time configuration using the vSphere Client GUI. [color=black]Workaround[/color]: To resolve this problem, reload the Cisco SRE Service Module. Thanks, Brett

I'm running SRE-V 2.0 on the SRE-910. I've been prepping it for a customer and noticed that after a power reset the date/time on the hypervisor is incorrect. I have to manually reset it in vSphere client. Is this a hardware clock issue? Please advise. Thanks. John

Hi John, To confirm, IOS APIs are not part of SRE-V. However, you have 2 options for accessing IOS commands from applications running on SRE-V. The first option is to use the Web Services Management Agent (WSMA) feature in IOS. For more information see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/netmgmt/configuration/guide/nm_cfg_wsma_ps6441_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html The 2nd option would be to use the new One Platform Kit (onePK) APIs. See http://developer.cisco.com/web/onepk for more information on onePK. We are starting Controlled Availability for the onePK APIs on the ISR G2 in April.

Hi Kshitij, I'm sorry that you're having so much trouble getting everything set up. I have a few steps below and requests for data. 1. Please send me your latest router configuration. On the router type: 'show run' and send me the data. 2. On the SRE 910, please power down the router, remove the service module then reseat it. Power back up the router. Then retry the status command. 3. Please verify that your ftp server is working correctly by downloading a file from it to another workstation. Thanks, Brett
