MSM is to buggy at the moment.

Without hotfixes for mcs, there is no correct functionality.

And the hotfixes are also not very good. My hotfix was on hold one week after installation because they found new problems.

Which hotfix did you have issues with please?

Well ok then.

Thanks for the info. =)

It's the MCS Hotfix Nr. HF279818.

Hotfix-mc-741-58-cumulative-201704

I don't know what the problem is, but the hotfix request was rejected for my second grid after upgrade to 7.4.1.

Emc technician told me, it's on hold.

My first grid has GUI update errors in activity log since the hotfix installation.

I have opened a SR for this.

Hello,

are there any news about this hotfix or perhaps newer hotfixes?

I have to do an MSM installation at a customer with 100 single nodes and 2 Grid systems. As BRM don´t work here since 3 years we hoped that MSM can do the monitoring better.

The customer has just update the Avamar systems to version 7.4.1., and I hope I don´t have to install a hotfix on all 100 single nodes...

Oh, ye of little faith ! Come on, of course you will. and then as soon as you complete those 100 HF installs you will receive either an emergency security patch email or the next GA to v7.5.

We have given up doing any work other than HF and patches, and we only have three dozen Avamar nodes globally.

I had the same problem and it is solved now...

Issue is about dual authentication deployed with Avamar 7.4

You can deactivate it with these commands :

enable_secure_config.sh --undo --secure-session

enable_secure_config.sh --undo --secure-ticket

enable_secure_config.sh --undo --dualauth

dpnctl stop mcs

dpnctl start mcs

dpnctl start sched

After that, it's working on MSM.

Regards.

Ok thank you. I had these commands from a EMC presale. I will look for avp package. Where I can find them ?

The download links can be found in the following KB article:

The recommended way to change the sessions security mode is to use the corresponding AVP package. Also, the commands that you ran will disable not only dual authentication but also the secure session features. This leaves your system vulnerable to published CVEs.

Most customers will likely want "Authenticated/Single" (if they do not have any 7.1 or older clients) or "Mixed/Single" (if they have 7.1 or older clients which do not support secure sessions).

Great, thank you !
