Resource Manager Essentials
The CiscoWorks2000 LAN management solution is also bundled with the
Resource Manager Essentials (RME), which are primarily responsible for
inventory control, system configuration repository and configuration
management, syslog server and syslog analysis, and other reporting functions.
RME Release 3.1 is the minimum release that supports detailed reporting
capabilities and manageability for Cisco CallManager hosts that are imported.
System logging capabilities of Cisco CallManager, described in the “System
Logging Components” section on page 11-3, are well integrated with
CiscoWorks2000. RME serves as a single point of management for Syslog
Collector message filter configuration and device detail reporting for
Cisco CallManager and other Cisco managed devices.
Inventory Control and Reporting
Cisco CallManager is supported in RME in the same manner as any Cisco device.
The MIBs supported by Cisco CallManager are accessible through a standard
SNMP agent. RME identifies the Cisco CallManager via the Compaq
sysObjectID, so it is imperative to avoid exporting a similar system that is not
running Cisco CallManager; otherwise, RME will waste resources by periodically
collecting configuration information from the non-CallManager system.
RME also creates a separate group in the device selector (a new system view
named "Cisco CallManagers") once it detects that Cisco CallManager hosts have
been imported for inventory and reporting management. Reports exposed for the
device selector are intended to show data about the configuration and state of
Cisco CallManager itself, and they do not report on information regarding the
individual components configured on Cisco CallManager. Figure 11-7 shows an
example device report from RME.
