LMS 3.2 Inventory collection - Job timeouts after ~5h, all devices "Not attempted"

Hello All,
We have a strange problem with LMS 3.2 regarding Inventory Collection.
This problem started immediatelly after the LMS installation/upgrade (LMS 3.2 was installed on a new server, and LMS 2.6 database migrated to it).
All Jobs finish as failed, with all devices "not attempted".
Job hangs for a five and a half hours and then reports failed status.
The symptoms are the same for scheduled jobs and manually created jobs.
I also have opened a TAC case, but it seems that nothing relevant can be found in the IC_Server.log.
Also, according to a packet capture, it seems that LMS does collect SNMP data from devices after a job is started...
We tried to upgrade RME 4.3.0 to 4.3.1.
One Job immediately after the upgrade was succesful (Inventory was collected for manually selected device), but the next day all Inventory Jobs were failing again with the same symptoms...
Does anyone have a sugestion where to look for a problem trace?
Thanks in advance!
Ragards,
Jasmina

Hi Jasmina ,
Please chech the Existing MDF pacakge :
go to common service > software center > device update >>> check the checkbox for Cisco works common service and click on check for updates
--if there is an Update , please upgarde the MDF version..
--Similarly look for any Available Device Pacakges update for RME , if there are Upgarde all the Device Pacakages ....
--After all of the above Task is done , Now re-run the Job and it still fails then share the IC_server.log again..
Thanks--

Ciscoworks LMS 4.1 Inventory Collection issue

We are having an issue with device inventory collection when a device or component in a device is replaced. The inventory collection job appears to be successful but the changes to devices or modules are not retreived. Short of deleting an object and adding back in, are there any configuration changes that can be made or patches that can be applied to LMS to pick up these inventory changes?

Yes, deleting and re-adding the device works. However, changes have been made to multiple devices in the environment and aside from a bulk delete and re-add there is no guarantee that all changes to all devices will be identified and captured. the side effect will be a loss of historical data.
Are there any options other that deleting and re-adding that will allow the application to identify the inventory changes, or is this a limitation of the product?
Are there any items we should check to identify a potential underlying issue?

LMS 3.1 Inventory Collection fails

I have the same problem as the following post:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/176673?tstart=0&viewcondensed
Also, LMS fails inventory collection every time. I click on the "failed" link from LMS Portal, but the page never comes up detailing why it has failed. This is after I fixed an issue with group policy overwriting the "Logon as batch" setting for casuser. Everything appeared to be up and running normally again, when I noticed the next day that inventory polling/collection is failing. pdshow attatched.
The following error message continues to show up in the rme_ctm.log file:
[ Tue Feb 22 07:40:55 CST 2011 ] URN_NOT_FOUND : urn "JRM" : Not found !!
The last entry in the CTMJrmServer.log file is:

I've been blindly trying to chase this down and getting nowhere.

LMS 3.2 Inventory Collection Failing

Inventory collection is failing without any detailed error information. I'm attaching IC_Server.log. Example device is 10.79.82.250, towards end of log. I see these messages but not sure what to make of them. SNMP communication is ok and walk of system mib is ok.

Go to RME > Devices > Device Management > RME Devices, and edit the device attributes for this device. Change the SNMP timeout to 10 seconds. Make sure you apply the changes you make. After doing that, inventory collection should work.

LMS 4.0 Inventory Collection GBICs and serial nos.

Hi All,
I have larger numbers of WS-C3560X-24/24P/48 Cisco switches with1000BaseSX SFP GIBCs installed per switch in my network and they are all added to my DCR just fine. However, when i generate an inventory hadrware report GBICs and GBICs serial number is not showing up. Is there any special settings i need to make?
Let me know if you need additional information to help to identify the problem, i'll provide it.
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Rob

GBICs and SFPs and such will show up in a detailed device report.
If you create a custom report ("Reports, Report Designer, Syslog and Inventory, Create"), you can extract that information into a useful form for your purposes. You will want to use the report designer and pull out "port serial number" plus something like device name. I just did this myself and verified it will pull the SFP serial number from a device. They key fields are "Inventory Group: port" and "Attribute: port serial number"
Here is a screen shot from the report I created showing the serial number you are asking about:

After eject get: Device not properly put away msg

Hi,
I just solved a problem for my wife. This posting is to help any others in the same situation:
I have a new cruzer usb flash drive. It seems to work well, but I see an unexpected error msg. The sequence:
1) Insert the usb flash drive
2) New icons appear on the Mac desktop: Cruzer (disk drive icon) and U3(DVD icon)
3) Finish use of the drive, close applications, etc
4) Eject the drive using finder
5) Wait a couple of sec, then unplug usb drive from system
6) Problem: then an error message about Device not properly put away is shown by the Mac.
Cause and solutions
This is caused by the usb drive mounting TWO "drives", the "cruzer" drive and the "U3" readonly software drive.
Solutions
1) Ignore the error msg since it concerns the read-only drive.
2) Since the usb drive has two "drives," easy solution is to eject both. Then no error message. Just drag the cruzer disk icon to the trash/eject icon. Then repeat for the U3 icon; then unplug the usb drive from the system.
3) A more complete solution is to re-format the usb drive entirely, replacing its two drives with one. This will also give you access to more of the usb drive. Remember that if you reformat, EVERYTHING on the usb drive will be deleted.
Regards,
Larry

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Thanks for the solution. I see this in 3rd party, such as Motorola, phones as well. In that case though, I would be leary of reformatting the memory card.
The USB is one solid state drive, and it is configured so that it has two partitions.
Your terminology may confuse some folks, especially those of us with a different primary language.

LMS 3.2 - RME 4.3.1 Inventory Collection never stops (Job Result = pending)

Hello all,
with our LMS-System running on Solaris 10 we have the following problem:
- Inventory Collection never stops after starting
- This can be seen with all devices or 1 device selected
- Config-Mgmt is working
- After re-init of RME-DB the problem persists
In Logfile (IC_Server.log) no problems are shown.
In Job-Logfile only the collection request is shown.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks for your feedback
Lothar

Hi Joe,
with further troubleshooting this problem I discoverd the following.
- Having problems with inventoring certain Cat4000 we requested patch for Bug-ID CSCtb16925 (LibInventory.zip-File).
- Replacing this file with the old one or installing the newest IDU for RME the problem was solved.
It seems that the LibInventory.zip file given with Bug-ID CSCtb16925 is somewhat buggy (maybe in context with device-number) greater
than 1000.
Thanks for your support.

Inventory Collection Failure with LMS 3.2

Hi,
I've been running LMS 3.2 with RME 4.3.1.
Inventory Collection fails while trying to collect data from 7825I Media Convergence Servers running Call Manager 6.1.
It fails with the following error:
RICS0001:Internal Error,unable to process the collected data from the device.
I have tried deleting and adding the device again, but with no effect.
The Call Manager server has ip 192.168.5.5, here it is the IC_Server.log attached.
Looking at the log, I see there is some kind of database error, but I don't know how can be avoided.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Velin

I have removed the Call Managers from RME, and then re-added them again.
After that I started a inventory collection job but it failed again with the same error. I've tried some times with the inventory job but it fials every time.
I read about the bug you've mentioned and it is advised to patch the RME. Since i'm running the latest version, what can i do?

Inventory Collection Slow

Is anyone experiencing inventory collection jobs going very slow in LMS 4.0? I have 2 devices that are scheduled for collection and after 20 minutes they are still in a Pending state. I turned a debug on the routers and I'm seeing the traffic from the LMS server hit the device. I can pull up CiscoView for the router, too. It just won't store the inventory.

The device type is recognized if removing then readding the device. The configuration on the device can be collected without a problem, in under 30 seconds, too. The device credential verification jobs confirm the RO and RW string are in LMS correctly. Packet captures on the server show SNMP requests and replies coming and going when deleting/readding the device via Inventory > Add / Import / Manage Devices.
Still working with TAC to investigate but was curious if anyone else is having this issue, or something similar. It's just the inventory collection that doesn't seem to work.

Inventory collection fails on VSS and 6509 switches

We have approximately 12 devices that are listed as "Inventory Never Collected". When trying to run the collection manually we get errors as shown in the attached log files.
We are running RME 4.3.1 under LMS3.2.
The devices are running IOS versions:
12.2(18)SXF7
Can anyone assist?
Jon

The last error I saw was a timeout issue, and that is a known issue that can be solved by increasing the timeout. With the higher timeout, clear out the IC_Server.log, then run a new inventory collection job and post the new log. You may also need to do a sniffer trace filtering on all SNMP traffic to the device while performing the inventory collection. This should indicate to what value the timeout needs to be set.

Inventory collection

Team
IN RME inventory collection some of the device inventory arent displayed
Inventory Never Collected and Inventory Recently Failed
Kindly suggest how to rectify this
Thanks

Pick one failing device, then run a new inventory collection for it under RME > Inventory > Inventory Collection Jobs. Then post the IC_Server.log.

LMS 3.2 Archive Update Job Failing

The scheduled archive update job is failing for all devices. Every one that I've checked is failing with the same message:
Execution Result:
Unable to get results of job execution for device. Retry the job after increasing the job result wait time using the option:Resource Manager Essentials -> Admin -> Config Mgmt -> Archive Mgmt ->Fetch Settings
This setting is at 120 seconds. I've tried adjusting this setting and get same results
Attaching job logs from most recent failure.
Thanks for any help.

Hi ,
Archive purge can fail for many reasons. I can suggest few things , If it did not work. You can open up a TAC case for troubleshooting.
Try this :
Increase the ConfigJobManager.heapsize as “1024m” in the following file:
NMSROOT/MDC/tomcat/webapps/rme/WEB-INF/classes/JobManager.properties (ie,,ConfigJobManager.heapsize=1024m) ·
Restart the daemon manager ·
Once the daemon manager is started successfully, Go to Admin > Network > Purge Settings > Config Archive Purge Settings, increase the “Purge versions older than:” to 12 Months (Also configure large value for no. of versions that you would like to have per device) and trigger the job. ·
Once job is completed, decrease the number of months gradually, until the desired no. of days & no. of versions required is reached. This exercise is to reduce the number of archives loading in memory during a purge job, which will cause job hanging.

LMS 3.2 Netconfig Not Attempted

Hi,
We have LMS 3.2 in production. Some new devices have been discovered and added to the DCR. The config backup for these devices are working fine.
The Net config jobs are giving the output as " Not attempted".
what could be the reason for this.
The same user name and password is working from a terminal emulation software on LMS system.

Inventory Collection problem for RME 4.3.1 LMS 3.2

I recently upgraded from LMS 3.1 to LMS 3.2 and RME v 4.3.1. I have problems with the inventory collection. It will start scanning, but stops after approximately 10 devices. The rest of them will have a pending state. If I stop the collection job and start it again none (0) devices will be scanned. If I restart the ICServer it will result in the first option. That is, it will scan only 10 devices and then stop. I have extended the SNMP timeout to 30 secs and zero retries. Any suggestion would be appreciated

I have read through the dump and cant find anything in particular. Another discovery I've made is that the SNMP walk of an unsuccessful device takes 10 times longer than a successful device. An inventory job on a unsuccessful device only goes into pending and the job never starts.
