  • 1.  SEPM Servers not reporting status to SEPMs

    Posted Nov 01, 2012 09:58 AM

    Hello,

     

    I have a problem with SEPM that has been perpetual.

    We have 6 SEPM servers that load-balance for the same site. One of these SEPMs are not reporting status to the SEPM console.

    For instance, when I log onto SEPM, the HOME dashboard loads. On the upper-right hand side I click "Virus Definition Distribution" and it opens another window. I scroll down the window where it says "Virus Definition Distribution" where it lists the Server and the number of computers checking in

     

     

    One of the SEPM servers is missing. When I run report

    Monitors > Logs > Log type: System > Log content: Server Activity > Server: Name of Missing Server

    It turns up blank.

    I opened a Case with Symantec and I am yet to get any resolution. All I have been doing is running the SEP Support Tool on the affected SEPM, but I am yet to hear back from anyone.

    And now, when I just came into the office, I find a second SEPM server is not reporting anything to the Management console.

    Please tell me other ways to troubleshoot this.

    What version of SEP/M?

    This sepm is local to the server which is having issues or you are checking from a different SEPM.

    Did this issue just start? Were any changes made recently?

    Are all SEPMs listed via the SEPM Console -> ADMIN -> Servers, or are they missing from here too?  Are you able to log into the SEPM console of the missing SEPMs?

    No changes were recently made on the SEPM. 

    When I go to SEPM Console > ADMIN > Servers, all the SEPMs are listed.

    When I try to log onto that SEPM I get "Unexpected Server Error" even though the actual Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager service is on.

    Can you check the missing SEPMs' connection to the DB?

    #EDIT1#

    Also, make sure Java has not been updated to 7:

    #EDIT2#

    Oh, and could you post the scm-server-0.log file from teh missing SEPMs?

    The SEPM is connected to the Database, and Java 7 is NOT installed. I uploaded the scm-server-0.log.

    Hi ,

     Lots of log entrres which is related to connection pool

     

    Cannot get a connection, pool error Timeout waiting for idle object.

     

    Problem

    SEPM hang or crash with error "Cannot get a connection, pool error Timeout waiting for idle object"

    when try to login SEPM console, the login process hang, or return error and service down.
     

    Cause

    this is cause tomcat connection pool is full at that time 

    Solution

    modify SEPM server.xml

    Step is
    1. Find server.xml in %SEPM install path%\tomcat\conf\
    2. Open server.xml and modify maxactive from 150 to 300
    3. Restart Symantec Endpoint protection manager service

    I restarted SEPM and all symantec services and now they check in.

     

    I will get the server.xml from all SEPMs.

    That's great, why don't you keep it under observation for sometime and see if the issue re-occurs?
