Changing server for Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 installation

Hi,
I am planning to install Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 with 50 device license on a temporary server. My question is:
Can we install Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 on Server A, applied the license for 50 devices, and then several months later we uninstall LMS on Server A, reinstall it on Server B, and applied the same license for 50 users?
Is it possible and legal to do that? I am worry if the LMS license is binding to the first server's MAC address.
Thanks in advance.

also :vmversion 4.1 and 5.1 both checked, hdd 256, scsi , memory 8 gig,

    I am not sure if I understand you correctly but if you go for a physical appliance, NCS and LMS both needs their own dedicated appliances. Have a look here:
    Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1 Ordering and Licensing Guide
    that's what is written in section " Ordering Information for New Customers" point 5.:
    5. Purchase the physical appliance if the desired deployment option is a physical appliance rather than a virtual appliance. Both Cisco Prime NCS and Cisco Prime LMS support the physical appliance deployment option. Each product requires its own dedicated physical appliance. Refer to Table 2.

  • Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 - /cwportal/group/lms/lms not found error after login

    After upgrading the MDF (Common Services) and the device packages on our Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 installation we now get an error after logging in. The error is as follows;
    Status
    Not Found The requested resource was not found.
    https://X.X.X.X/cwportal/group/lms/lms
    The top of the page is the normal menu and anything we choose there works fine so we only see this just after logging in to CiscoWorks.
    Has anyone experienced this problem or do you have any idea what might be causing it?
    The installation is running on a Cisco appliance.
    kind regards,
    Michel

    It's being access from a client using Internet Explorer 8 (which is what I'm forced to use due to company policy) by access the DNS name of the ciscoworks server and logging in.. It worked previous to installing the patches so I'm not exactly sure what has happened. I'll try to get another PC to test from though to see if it's something to do with my browser or PC.
    If I add -configuration to the url it works just fine.

  • Cisco Prime LMS 4.1, "License Server/Daemon Manager is down."

    Hello,
    We having problem with Cisco Prime LMS running version 4.1.
    When open Home page shows the next message: "License Server/Daemon Manager is down. Please check license.log for more information." (see attached)
    The daemon server is stopped already and i can't restart it, see below:
    C:\>net start crmdmgtd
    The Cisco Prime Daemon Manager service is starting.
    The Cisco Prime Daemon Manager service could not be started.
    The service did not report an error.
    More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
    Thanks

    It looks like you're seeing CSCte49301.  Follow the release note steps to solve this:
    Symptom:
    The EssentialsDM daemon hangs in a Waiting to initialize state (as seen in the output of the pdshow command).  Additionally, one might see "Error connecting to JRM" in Resource Manager Essentials applications.
    Conditions:
    This occurs on Windows servers after the patch for KB968930 is installed, and only if the Windows Remote Management service was started prior to starting CiscoWorks Daemon Manager. 
    Workaround:
    Shutdown CiscoWorks Daemon Manager with the following command from the server's command prompt:
    net stop crmdmgtd
    Delete the following two files:
    NMSROOT\MDC\tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\lib\ctmregistry
    NMSROOT\MDC\tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\lib\ctmregistry.backup
    Restart CiscoWorks Daemon Manager with the following command:
    net start crmdmgtd
    If that does not work, then the Windows Remote Management service must be stopped, and disabled.  Then, CiscoWorks Daemon Manager must be restarted.

  • Issues with Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.3

    Hi,
    I'm trailing Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.3 Soft appliance on ESXi before I deploy it into a live environment and am having some issues.
    I've upgraded to version 4.2.3 and the box was working fine after the upgrade however on power it up today the Apache service will not start.
    If I look at the LMS application I see this for the Apache service.
    "Apache                Administrator has shut down this server   0 "
    I have tried to starting it.
    CiscoLMS42/admin# application start Apache
    % Application failed to start

    If I run an application operation debug at the same time I get the following output.

    I'm at a complete lose as to where to look next, failing anything else I'll have to rebuild it, but it would be nice to know how to get the Apache up and running again.
    regards
    Rich

    Hi Richard,
    I see the following:
    [ Thu Apr 18 20:53:11 GMT 2013 ] TomcatMonitor After gettingAJPPort : ajpPort = 9009 and host =CiscoLMS42

    It looks like the hostname cannot be resolved. Can you try to add a static entry in /etc/hosts for the IP of the server and CiscoLMS42?
    Restart the daemon manager and it should work.

  • Cisco Prime LMS appliance Compatibilty with Cisco Prime NCS

    Hi,
    Is it possible if we can install Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 in the appliance which is inbuilt with Cisco Prime  NCS .
    We have PILMS42-1.5K-U license available with us.
    Rgds,
    Kamal

    One can install either LMS 4.2 or NCS on the a physical (software on PRIME-NCS-APL-K9 hardware) or virtual appliance (software installed on customer-provided VM).
    The two products (NCS and LMS) cannot coexist on a given appliance instance. This is due to change in the future as LMS and NCS merge under the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 release but for now they are distinct and separate products with a common approach and similar look and feel but requiring separate servers, whether physical or virtual.
    Please refer to the ordering and licensing guide here.

  • VMware Tools on Cisco Prime LMS 4.1

    Hello,
    I have just installed Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 from .ova file on a VMware architecture. My customer wants to know if the server is compatible with vmware tools.
    I looked over Cisco documentation but it is never mentionned.
    Has someone allready take a look into that ?
    Thanks,
    Regards,
    Abel JULIAN,
    Nextiraone FRANCE.

    Yes, the datastore is located on a remote SAN so the original source won't be impacted by the loss of the ESXi. But in a perfect world (with VMtools), Vmotion will move VM from one ESX to another in case of failure, performance problem etc.
    Those functions won't be accessible here, and the VM will need to be restarted manually and reaffected to another ESXi in case of failure. Like I said before, the LMS server is not a critical application so that is not a huge issue. The important is to know that Cisco does not support this feature.
    Anyway, I have my answer so it is ok for me, I will notify my customer.
    Thanks you for your time,
    Regards,
    Abel

  • Cisco Prime LMS MPLS monitoring

    Hi all, have anyone used Cisco Prime LMS for MPLS xconnect monitoring?
    Currently when these traps arrive to Cisco Prime LMS they are classified as "InformAlarm Unidentified Trap Generic".
    Is it maybe possible to load the correct MIB for these traps and get Cisco Prime LMS to understand them correctly?
    The raw traps looks like this:
    xconnect down:
    09:58:42.352760 IP (tos 0x40, ttl 245, id 12, offset 0, flags [none], proto: UDP (17), length: 114) routerhost.51591 > lmshost.snmptrap: [udp sum ok]  { SNMPv1 { Trap(71)  E:cisco.10.106.2 10.130.1.13 enterpriseSpecific s=1 424011509 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=2 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=2 } }
    xconnect up:
    09:59:48.597894 IP (tos 0x40, ttl 245, id 14, offset 0, flags [none], proto: UDP (17), length: 114) routerhost.51591 > lmshost.snmptrap: [udp sum ok]  { SNMPv1 { Trap(71)  E:cisco.10.106.2 10.130.1.13 enterpriseSpecific s=2 424018144 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=1 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=1 } }
    I found some more info about the traps at:
    http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseMIB.do?local=en&step=2&mibName=CISCO-IETF-PW-MIB-V1SMI
    BR /Crille

    Here is an update:
    After discussing with TAC there seems to be 2 possible solutions in LMS right now:
    1. Create a threshold that monitors the specific OID for the xconnect vc and generate alarm if it changes.
    2. Configure the device to send syslog when a xconnect state changes and create an "automated syslog action".
    I have not tried either of them yet so I dont know which one works best, but option 2 seems easiest (its a one time config).

  • SYSLOG Cisco Prime LMS

    Hi friends,
    I have a question about my syslog from Cisco Prime LMS 4.1, the hours from this syslog in the LMS is diferent from my switch log.  I dont kown why.. I verified the hours betewen switch y the Cisco Prime is the same(the LMS is over Windows Server 2008R2) . both are the same log but in diferent hours about 5 hours.
    maybe I have to configure the hours for Syslog in the Cisco Prime.
    Log from Switch
    Log from Cisco Prime LMS

    If you have LMS, i am not sure, but if you have PI 1.2. Take a look at my post.
    Basically, syslog feature doesn't work well. I could see couple of syslog through event / alarm, but syslog itself is not working properly.

  • Migrating from CiscoWorks LMS 3.1 to Cisco Prime LMS 4.2

    Hi Everyone
    My client was formerly having CiscoWorks LMS 3.1. Recently, they purchased Cisco Prime Infrastructure v1.2, which comes with Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.

    Thanks Marvin for your advice. Just one last question, there's a statement in the URL that you've provided
    "Ensure that the passwords, HTTPS port and SMTP server details are same in both LMS 3.2 SP1, LMS 4.0.1 or LMS 4.1 server and LMS 4.2 server with Symantec Veritas implementation, while migrating data from non-HA to HA environment."
    Does this mean my client need to purchase Symantec Veritas, as well?

  • Cisco Prime LMS device unreachable dont know why

    Hi
    Currently running Cisco Prime LMS v4.2
    I am trying to get some Nexus 7K Switches to work and become reachable.
    They are running  kickstart: version 6.2(2)
                                 system:    version 6.2(2)
    Now as far as I can see i have 2 identical switches but one is unreachable and the other is reachable.
    When i use my snmp tester they both work with the correct V3 auth/priv passwords and the correct ssh
    works on the switches.
    When i go to monitor/Troubleshooting Tools/Troubleshooting Workflows
    Then for the non working one  i get the following fails.... 
    Device Information   Device availability  x
    Collector Status
    Data Collection  Failure
    User Tracking    Failure
    Fault discovery   Failure
    On the working one The above all are a Success.
    Also
    Reachability Details
    Both ping and traceroute work fine on both switches 
    For the life of me I cannot see any difference in the configuration of the two devices.
    Has anyone come across this before ?
    I have attached a copy of the snmp config.
    Thanks
    Steve

    What is the server OS? Windows/Linux or Unix?
    From the server to ping and poll device for SNMP and see if both device works fine?
    SNMP walk is available under :
    Windows : NMSROOT/objects/jt/bin
    Linux/unnix/: /opt/SCOpx/objects/jt/bin
    Example:
    NSROOT/objects/jt/bin/snmpwalk -v2c -c public <ip_add> <OID>
    Try to configure the problematic device for SNMP v2 and try to add it from there and test if it works fine.

  • Device discovery in Cisco Prime LMS 4.1

    Hi,
    im using CISCO PRIME LMS 4.1 for manage my network, i ran a device discovery job using a ping sweep on the ip ranges of my network, ie 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24 and so on... the discovery found all my devices, but it discovered duplicate devices with illegal ip Addresses, ie
    ip                                    device    
    192.168.1.255               S1
    192.168.2.0                    S1
    192.168.2.1                    S1 (the real address)
    all in reachable status.
    i dont undestad why the program adds that repeated illegal addresses.. someone can help me with that issue??
    how can i run the device discovery to avoid this problem?
    Many Thanks.

    Julio,
    Don't let LMS decide on what IP address it will manage the device.
    For example, let LMS do a lookup of the sysname in DNS, then it will use the IP address coming back from the DNS as management IP.
    This is what I do to avoid this.
    But I also feel that LMS should be bright enough to never manage the same device twice. I think Campus DFM or RME will eventually figure out the 2 devices are the same, but they can't "fix" what is wrong in the DCR.
    Cheers,
    Michel

    You'd get a lot more views for this question on the Network Management forum.
    In any case, PI 1.2 (2.0 is the curent version) is the product Cisco is positioning for wireless (successor to WCS and NCS) and wired (successor to LMS) infrastructure management. However it hasn't yet reached feature parity with LMS so they are including licenses for customers to continue to use both if they so desire. The products are mutually exclusive and must be run on separate servers.
    Please refer to the following pages for more info:
    Whitepapers including PI-LMS functional comparison and PI Deployment Guide
    LMS Design Guide (title says Prime Infrastructure but it's actually LMS)
    LMS 4.1 (not just) for Dummies
    Also search youtube for Cisco Prime. There is a series of VODs the product team did on use cases.
