DDB-1683

WMI-related issue

Problem: WMI support is affected by the firewall on versions of Windows prior to Windows 7.

Workaround: For Windows versions prior to Windows Server 2008/Vista, use the following steps:

1
Open TCP port: 135.
WMI by default uses the port range 1024 to 5000.
2
Open up a range of ports above port 5000.
Port numbers below 5000 may already be in use by other applications and could cause conflicts with your DCOM applications.
It is recommended to have at least 100 ports opened, as several system services rely on these RPC ports to communicate with each other.
3
Add the registry key, including additional ports.
•
Use the RPCCfg.exe (Windows Resource Kits) by running: rpccfg.exe -pe 5009-5009 -d 0
•
Manually add the registry keys under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\Internet

For Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008:

According to Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929851), the default dynamic port range for TCP/IP has changed in these versions. The new default start port is 49152 and end port is 65535. Subsequently, monitoring instances that run under these operation systems can be carried out by using either one of the following options:

•
Configure the firewalls to allow traffic between servers in the dynamic port range of 49152 through 65535 (less secure).
•
Limit the port range that is used in each monitored server.

FAM-7722

In FIPS-compliant mode, it is required to use at least 2048 RSA and DSA key size to do OS monitoring via SSH connection in DB cartridge.

When FglAM version is lower than 5.9.7.1, FglAM will not check RSA/DSA key size < 2048, and the connection is non-FIPS compliant.

Workaround: Upgrade the FglAM version to 5.9.7.1 or later.

Known issue

n/a

Some base values are not updated when using the Win32_PerfRawData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk WMI class to calculate performance data in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008, because this class does not contain the PercentDiskTime_Base metric.

Workaround: A hotfix is available on Microsoft's Web site, at https://support.microsoft.com/kb/961435/en-us.
