Re: Cisco CSM real disabled until manually reactivated - is this possible?

Martin,

You could use a simple EEM script to catch the syslog event of the vserver
going down, and manually setting in "no inservice" mode.
I do not have a CSM to test with, but the script should look something like:

event manager applet DISABLE-VSERVER-XXX
 event syslog pattern "THE SYSLOG EVENT FOR VSERVER XXX FAILING"
 action 1.0 cli command "enable"
 action 1.1 cli command "conf t"
 action 2.0 cli command "module csm 3"
 action 2.1 cli command "vserver XXX"
 action 2.2 cli command "no inservice"
 action 9.0 syslog priority alerts msg "VServer XXX has failed and was
administratively shut"
