You do not get Xian mail notifications from OpsMgr RTM or SP1 but you are getting mail notifications from other management packs.

Xian reports on OpsMgr are being shown empty. When you execute the report an error is shown on OpsMgr that you do not have sufficient permissions to view them.

Xian NMS and Data Server components are in charge of receiving and
processing all the rule’s alerts and performance data information. The
NMS obtains all the data from the devices, then processes it and finally
sends the information to the data server, which receives the
information from all the NMS associated to it and store the information
in the Xian database.
In Xian 2005 Network Manager build 2.1.20.104 and previous, when
there is a lot of information arriving to the data server, such as
performance data from many rules applied to many interfaces. In this
case the data server creates a queue in memory because it can not
handle the information as fast as it arrives, so depending on the
amount of data, the queue consumes large amounts of memory
causing eventually the whole system to collapse due to a memory
leak.

Jalasoft Xian Network Manager 2005 SP1 has the possibility to add new plugins
to its environment allowing users to monitor other devices such as
NetScaler switches, 3Com switches, Solaris servers and new plug-ins that are
not included in this release version of Xian Network Manager. This document
will cover the plug-in requirements, installation and un-installation process.

When you launch rules configured to collect performance data over
any device on the Xian console, this data is never shown on the MOM
2005 operator console under the performance view.
|
A repeated unsuccessful attempt to discover a network device generates the message that the IP address is already being used.
|
Xian Network Manager can not execute queries to the database
because the DB manager is configured in a case sensitive mode, which
means that it makes a difference between lowercase and uppercase
sentences. This causes the queries performed on it to refer to the
database objects exactly as they are named. The problem which is
created is then that the Xian Data Server executes queries to the
database in a non sensitive mode and some tables and table elements
are not reached. Finally, the Xian console can not be opened because
it depends on the Data Server.
|
Xian can not discover a specific device model because it is not supported by the current management packs. A patch is generated to correct this issue.
|
If you have installed Xian 2005 Network Manager build 2.1.13.97 or
earlier, and then you migrate this environment to Xian SP1, the migrated
Network Scan Tasks do not discover any Linux agent.

The Xian 2005 Network Manager SMP for UNIX Server (Linux and Solaris) monitors
the most critical components from the computer such as the CPU load, system
uptime, file system usage and interface traffic among other features. Additionally, it
is critical to monitor the state and performance of the most critical and important
processes running on the UNIX Server. To provide a solution for this, Xian 2005
Network Manager SP2 implements the UNIX Server process monitoring feature.
|
Jalasoft Xian Network Manager 2005 provides a stable architecture and
functionality for network devices and UNIX Servers monitoring. However, the
success of the product is based on the capability of monitoring the network
infrastructure 24 hours, 7 days a week. Even if a Xian component goes down,
Xian must still work and monitor properly the network. It is for this reason
that Xian Network Manager 2005 implements the NMS failover mechanism
feature.
|
The Cisco Router 4700 sub interfaces have problems with the Xian
rules that obtain information from these interfaces; this causes Xian to
give error messages in MOM.

Workaround describing the steps to take to make the Xian UI controls compatible with OpsMgr.
|
When you open the Xian console you see that all the rules are on the
‘pending to start’ state and never change from that state. Additionally, if you
launch another rule, this rule also goes to the ‘pending to start’ state.
