Best practices for maintenance of RSA Authentication Manager 6.1.2

1. Maintain correct local time on Primary server. 

• Utilize the Network Time Protocol (NTP) if possible.
• Server local time must be monitored at all times to ensure that there is no drift in system time. 
• If you notice a drift in the local time, do not correct it without scheduling. It may be required that you need to run the RSA 'setsyncint' utility and it may require downtime for administration.

2. Schedule regular reboots of the Primary authentication server. 

• This will free up all resources, particularly if your Primary server maintains inbound TCP connections from remote admin, Quick admin and Deployment Manager products.

Note : If these connections exceed the limits set by the operating system, the server may refuse the requests for new connections from web server or remote administration machines.

• The server may run out of resources when not restarted on a semi-regular basis, especially if it is extremely busy.

3. Utilize the database compression feature.

• If your database is prohibitively large (e.g. > 5,000 users and tokens), plan and schedule server database compression and log database compression.
• Schedule compression of your log database and server database on separate days.
• Utilize the 'sdcompress' utility to accomplish this.

4. Monitor file sizes of RSA system files.

• Closely monitor the sizes of the sdlog.* and sdserv.* files in the RSA "prog" sub-directory.
• The file size of any single file should never be allowed to exceed 2 GB.

5. Utilize the Automated Log Maintenance feature.

• Use the "delete and archive" feature to accomplish this. 
• Refer to page 153 of the "RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 Administrator's Guide".

6. Maintain the Windows Event Viewer or UNIX system logs.

• Use the Windows Event Viewer to save and subsequently clear the Application log and System log. 
• Clear all logs frequently. 
• If the system log is too busy, you will be forced to delete it.

7. Replica nomination.

• If for some reason, the Primary server cannot be restarted due to a hard disk or other failure, immediately nominate a replica server to become the primary server.

8. Maintain Windows or UNIX operating system patches.

• Update the Primary server with most recent service pack, and other security patches. 
• It is not necessary to update the web browser.

9. Backup your data.

• Do not backup the files while RSA services are running. 
• Stop the RSA services and save the RSA Authentication Manager\data directory. 
• Save the data on an alternate server or filesystem.

10. Monitor logs for status of replication.

• Always ensure replication is running correctly.
• Monitor the Primary server system log and application log for positive messages regarding successful replication.

General Parameters

• Adapter parameter -aN
  The parameter -aN (where N is a number starting with zero or the string ALL) specifies the adapter ID. If you have only one controller it’s safe to use ALL instead of a specific ID, but you’re encouraged to use the ID for everything that make changes to your RAID configuration.
• Physical drive parameter -PhysDrv [E:S]
  For commands that operate on one or more pysical drives, the -PhysDrv [E:S] parameter is used, where E is the enclosure device ID in which the drive resides and S the slot number (starting with zero). You can get the enclosure device ID using MegaCli -EncInfo -aALL. The E:S syntax is also used for specifying the physical drives when creating a new RAID virtual drive.
• Virtual drive parameter -Lx
  The parameter -Lx is used for specifying the virtual drive (where x is a number starting with zero or the string all).

Hot Spare Management

• Set global hot spare
  # MegaCli -PDHSP -Set -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
• Remove hot spare
  # MegaCli -PDHSP -Rmv -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
• Set dedicated hot spare
  # MegaCli -PDHSP -Set -Dedicated -ArrayN,M,... -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN

Rebuild a drive that is marked 'Foreign' when inserted:

1. Bad to Good
   # MegaCli -PDMakeGood -PhysDrv [E:S]  -aALL
2. Clear foreign setting
   # MegaCli -CfgForeign -Scan -aALL
   # MegaCli -CfgForeign -Clear -aALL
3. set global hot spare
   # MegaCli -PDHSP -Set -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN

MegaCli -PDList -aAll | grep --before-context=12 Firmware Find drive that the "Firmware state" is not "online"

Change/Replace a drive

1. Enable autorebuild
   # # MegaCli -AdpAutoRbld -Enbl -a0
2. set the drive offline
   # MegaCli -PDOffline -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
3. mark the drive as missing
   # MegaCli -PDMarkMissing -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
4. prepare drive for removal
   # MegaCli -PDPrpRmv -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
5. change/replace the drive
6. if you are using hot spares, the replaced drive should become new hot spare
   # MegaCli -PDHSP -Set -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
   if you are not using hot spares, you must re-add the new drive to your RAID virtual drive and start the rebuilding
   # MegaCli -PdReplaceMissing -PhysDrv [E:S] -ArrayN -rowN -aN
   # MegaCli -PDRbld -Start -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN

To identify the problem drive:

• Gather information:

  MegaCli -LDInfo -Lall -aALL

  MegaCli -PDList -a0

  MegaCli -CfgDsply -aALL

  MegaCli -AdpGetProp AlarmDsply -aAll

  MegaCli -LDCC -ShowProg -L0 -a0 -Nolog

  MegaCli -FwTermLog -Dsply -a0

• Locate a physical drive: MegaCli64 -PdLocate -start -physdrv [E:S] -a0
• To Clear Terminal Log: MegaCli -FwTermLog -Clear -aN
• Check battery status: MegaCli -AdpBbuCmd -aAll
• Check BBU (battery backup unit) status:
  MegaCli -AdpBbuCmd -GetBbuStatus -a0 -NoLog | egrep 'charge|battery'
• Work with bad BBU: MegaCli -LDSetProp CachedBadBBU -LAll -aAll -NoLog
• To find enclosure IDs: MegaCli -EncInfo -aN
• To view a particular physical drive: MegaCli -pdinfo -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
• To replace a drive:

  MegaCli -PDOffline -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN

  MegaCli -PDMarkMissing -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN

  MegaCli -PDPrpRmv -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN

  ** swap the drive **

  MegaCli -PdReplaceMissing -PhysDrv [E:S] -ArrayN -rowN -aN

  Note: The number N of the array parameter is the Span Reference you get using MegaCli -CfgDsply -aALL and the number N of the row parameter is the Physical Disk in that span which you are replacing, not the slot number. S is the slot number of the NEW disk.
  For example: to replace physical disk 0 in span 1 using disk ID 25 you would use the following command: MegaCli -PdReplaceMissing -PhysDrv [:25] -Array1 -row0 -a0

Warning: Drive rebuilds do not start automatically! You have to actually tell the controller to start rebuilding the drive.

MegaCli -PDRbld -Start -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN

To rebuild a drive that has a "foreign" configuration:

• Mark the drive as good: MegaCli -PDMakeGood -PhysDrv [E:S] -aALL
• Clear the foreign setting: MegaCli -CfgForeign -Clear -a0
• Set global hot spare - drive should start rebuilding after this:
  MegaCli -PDHSP -Set -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
• Stop consistency check:MegaCli -LDCC -Abort -L0 -a0 -Nolog
• Silence Alarm Beeps: MegaCli -AdpSetProp -AlarmSilence -aN
• Show Rebuild Status:
  watch -n 10 /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -PDRbld -ShowProg PhysDrv [E:S] -a0

-----

Dump the log file

${megacli} -fwtermlog -dsply -aall > /tmp/ttylog.txt
~/tmp $ grep -n ErrLba ttylog.txt
    The ErrLba= indicates a hardware error on the specified block.  It seems
    the raid controller attempted to read the data, and found it to be
    corrupted.  But, it then wrote it back, and all is now okay again

~/tmp $ grep -n orrected ttylog.txt
    if it sees many of these errors (many being a loose
    definition which varies from disk to disk) the controller will raise a
    predictive failure error.  Until then, we ignore it.
