Prime infrastructure 1.3 / 2.0 - LMS 4.2 and NCS PI coexist on one physical appliance?

I would like to purchase the physical appliance the serves both LMS/NCS. Is this possible on the NCS appliance running 1.3 or is this only available on a 2.0 appliance. If so any documentation supporting this would be appreciated..

You can't run two systems on an appliance. An appliance allows only one OS to run at a given time.  PI and LMS need to be ran on a separate VM'swhich can be on the same VM host, but are individual virtual machines.

  • Future of cisco prime infrastructure

    We have upgraded our CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 to Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.3, and we are running another server for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3.
    My understanding: Prime LMS 4.2.3 is mainly for wired network and PI for wireless network. We have to run two seperate servers to manage the network. Is my understanding correct.
    My question is:  Would Prime Infra still have two parts in future: LMS and NCS? Would Cisco move LMS functionality into NCS in future release? Could NCS be used to manage wired network?

    The roadmap is for more features to be added to Prime Infrastructure until it does everything the old WCS  and NCS products did for wireless (that part is pretty much done as of PI 1.3) and that the LMS product does for wired (not nearly as far along on that path).
    There is a major release (2.0) due out this summer for PI that promises to take a big step towards feature parity with LMS but it will still not be 100%. My experience is that as of right now PI does not have nearly the depth of features (for wired management) - and the documentation on what features it has is very scanty.
    While right now PI can manage a good number of wired infrastructure items, there are a good number of things it cannot do. So LMS will be a current and viable product for the forseeable future (1-2 years out in my estimation). It would be premature at this point for most customers to use a single PI installation for all wired and wireless management. That may change with PI 2.0, but we won't know until we see what features make the cut and how well-implemented they are. Already that product ship date has slipped at least 6 months.

  • Upgrade Cisco Prime LMS 4.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1

    My company has asked me to migrate Prime LMS 4.0 to Prime Infrastructure 2.0 for a client and can not find the guide, the questions are? the migration is possible without an intermediate step? and There is a guide to update LMS 4.0 to PI 2.0 ??
    Thanks in advance.

    Prime LMS 4.2.2 added support for the PI template directly:
    Export Data for Prime Infrastructure
    Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution supports data migration to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. This feature enables user to export the Device Credentials Repository (DCR) data from LMS 4.2.x versions to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. The data backup status and backup location are displayed at the bottom of the Export Data for Prime Infrastructure page. The data being exported from LMS and the data imported back to PI are listed as follows.
    Data exported from LMS
    •Device Credentials Repository (DCR)
    •Software Image Management
    •Config Archive
    •Change Audit

  • LMS 4.1 (Windows) & NCS 1.1 (VM) Upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2

    Hi All,
    Im getting a bit confused about the whole upgrade migration process for the following config to Cisco Prime Infrastructure:
    LMS - Version 4.1 , 500 devices. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1
    NCS – version 1.1 , 50 devices  Red Hat Linux ( 64 Bit)  (Installation software - NCS-VA-1.0.1.4-small.ova)
    I want to be able to backup databases and migrate licensing from LMS and NCS to one platform. Does anyone have experience of this and could possible guide me thorugh this process. LMS has SAS and NCS has SAU.
    Help will be very much appreciated!!   

    It's a couple of steps but can be done. You may want to reconsider getting off of LMS since the latest Prime Infrastructure (PI 1.2) does not have full feature compatibility with the latest LMS (4.2.3). Have a look here for the comparison.
    If you still want to do it:
    1. Upgrade your NCS to PI 1.2 (instructions). If you're going with a total of 550 devices on a combined license you should use the medium ova file to get the correct server resource allocation. You will need to get the new license from the TAC or via the licensing portal. I'm not sure if you can get the PI license for your LMS upgrade directly via the portal but you do have the entitlement for LMS 4.2 and PI 1.2 (combined licenses not to exceed the original LMS number) if your SAS is current. You may need to contact the TAC and ask for the licensing team.
    2. Upgrade your LMS to 4.2 and patch it to 4.2.2 (instructions). Once you've done that, there is a simple menu command to export your device credentials to Prime (Admin, System, Export Data to PI in LMS and then Operation, Device Work Center, Bulk Import in PI - instruction on Page 18 here). Do that and then in the new PI installation import the devices.
    Verify everything is working and you can decommission the LMS server.

  • Prime LMS EOL? Migration to Prime Infrastructure???

    Hi All,
    I'm a little bit confused about the support for Prime LMS 4.2.5... is there any date for end of Life/end of support for LMS?
    Should customers migrate to Prime Infrastructure or what does cisco recommend???
    best regards

    Prime LMS 4.2 is not yet End of Sales or End of Life. Cisco continues to provide support develop minor device package updates etc. for it.
    It will not get another major release going forward as strategically the platform being developed for wired and wireless LAN management is Prime Infrastructure (PI).
    For existing LMS customers, they are encouraged to review the current feature comparison (link) and determine which product better serves their needs given that PI 2.2 does not have feature parity with Prime LMS 4.2.5. (Even new PI customers are given a license for Prime LMS in acknowledgement of this fact. How long that continues remains to be seen.)

  • Prime infrastructure 1.2

    Hi all,
    Yesterday I installed my first Cisco prime infrastructure 1.2.
    I'm a bit confused now, is this the integrated version of LMS and NCS? At first sight, there's not a lot LMS in it.
    I don't see topology services, netconfig etc.
    Since the release of LMS 4.0 I'm struggeling with the licenses every time. No exeptions this time, our customer has + 100 access points and + 100 switches.
    We have 125 NCS licenses
    Do we need separate licenses for the switches? Or are they included in the NCS license. According to a cisco licensing engineer LMS and WAN are not compatible with Prime Infrastructure 1.2.
    Can anyone clarify this for me?
    Thanks
    Best Regards,
    Joris              

    You are correct in saying there's not much LMS in Cisco Prime Infrastructure.  They are essentially still 2 different products even thought future plans are to combine both wireless and wired mgmt in future releases of Prime Infrastructure.
    Licensing will also stay separate for now even though Cisco is generating LMS and WAN license files with Prime Infrastructure...both of which are useless and have only confused the fact. 
    Certain contracts allow for migrating LMS licenses to Prime Infrastructure but it makes no sense to do that because the current version of Prime Infrastructure has only a couple of LMS features currently available. 

  • Netshow and Prime Infrastructure 2.2

    Dear all,
    We have a testinstallation running Prime Infrastructure 2.2
    Is there any way to use netshow in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2?
    In LMS we could run a cli command on multiple devices and export the output… I’m missing (or did not found) this function in PI2.2…

    Is there a road-map for cleaning up some of these things. The Sylog was a lot nicer to look at in LMS. I think a lot of us still have to run LMS to get things we needed. 

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure - Is there a report of unused switch ports?

    Hello,
    Is there a report in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.4 showing the unused switch ports?
    There used to be one in Cisco Prime LMS (Reclaim Unused Up/Down Ports Report).
    Thank you,
    Luke

    Hello,
    I now have Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 running, and I don't see a report like the "Reclaim Unused Up/Down Ports" report that existed in LMS.
    I found one called "Interface Capacity", but it only shows the number of ports that are "connected", "notconnect" or "disabled".
    Does anyone know if a report of Unused ports exists in Prime Infrastructure 2.0 or if it will be available later on?
    Thank you,
    Luke

  • Email notification for config deployment jobs in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 ??

    We're upgrading from LMS 3.2 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure ...
    In LMS 3.2 we're using netconfig all the time to configure various jobs related to port security
    In installing Cisco Prime Infrastructure and working through it's use of templates, I'm having some difficulty finding out how to send out a notification once a configuration job has completed.  It's so simple in LMS 3.2 since it's part of the job creation screens.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    HI, Raymond
    Just wondering if this problem is resolved?
    Thanks!

  • Email Notifications on Prime Infrastructure 2.1

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 with almost 100 switches registered and managed properly. I have configured the Mail Server and alarm notifications are sent with no problems.
    The deal is that I don´t want to recieve alarm mails for every single device that is registered. Is it possible to recieve mails just for a group of devices? I was checking the Cisco documents but could not find something clear about this.
    Thanks for your help,

  • WCS to prime infrastructure 1.2

    Hello,
    I need to know how to do the upgrade from WCS 7.0 to Prime Infrastructure 1.2.
    I was reading and i need to upgrade to the NCS 1.1 before to go to prime infrastructure 1.2.
    I will need license to NCS 1.1 before upgrade to infraesctructure 1.2 ?
    Will i have some problem with this upgrade ?
    Can someone pass me the correct process for not have any problem with this upgrade ?
    Thank You.

    Just to add...
    Leo like to tease people with new stuff
    That is the correct path though. You will have to be first on 7.0.220.0 if your planning on exporting and importing the day from WCS to NCS 1.1. From there you will upgrade to Prime 1.2 and then you can upgrade to Prime 2.0 whenever it comes out. I would build the NCS server with the specs for Prime though.
    Just follow the configuration guide for WCS to NCS and then follow this for NCS to Prime

  • Including Interface Description in Cisco PRime Infrastructure Alarm Message

    Hi all,
    i succesfully configured a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 applliance to display an alarm and to send me an e-mail when switch uplink ports goes down.
    The text displayed in alarm message is :
    port 'interface_id' is down on device 'device_ip_address'
    I'd like to include in this text also the interface description so the text will display :
    port 'interface_id'  'interface_descriprion' is down on device 'device_ip_address' 
    Is this possible?
    Thankyou in advance

    Hi,
    i followed these steps :
    SWITCH SIDE
    - configured Prime Infrastructure as snmp-server host;
    - enabled snmp-traps for linkup and linkdown events globally;
    - disabled snmp-traps for linkup and linkdown on non relevant interfaces using the no snmp trap link-status command
    PRIME INFRASTRUCTURE SIDE
    - under "Deploy/Monitor Deployment" i deployed template "Interface Health"  for all the interested switches
    -  under "Administration/System Settings/Mail Server Configuration" configured my internal SMTP server to make Prime Infrastructure able to send e-mails
    - under "Operate/Alarms & Events" click on "Email Notifications" , then on "Switches and Hubs"
       - check the "critical" box ,  insert the destination e-mail address into the "To" field then click "Save"
     -  check the "switches and Hubs" box and then click Save
    As i know is possible to avoid to configure every single not-interesting port on the switches with "no snmp trap link-status" command (it's a bit annoying when you have tens of switches), using Port Grouping configuration on PI but i tried it without success.
    Hope this helps.
    Best Regards,

  • Fail back unsuccessful in Prime Infrastructure 2.0

    Fail back unsuccessful in Prime Infrastructure 2.0.
    Getting foll error while starting NCS services:
    health monitor running with an error....

    Hi Yusuf,
    there could be many reasons of the failure of the health monitor services ... could be a databases faulty..
    If you have  backup  or if your PI was running on VM and you have some snap shot then I would suuggest you to Restore(backup)  it.
    ***Try to reboot the server once before you try to restore the backup..
    Thanks-

  • Cisco Prime infrastructure 2.0 cpu requirement

    Hi,
    i'm reading the doc at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2.0/quickstart/guide/cpi_qsg.html#wp46865
    and I'm searching for the CPU requirement for a Standard installation. From table 2 in this document, I will need 16 virtual CPUS but there is no frequency mentioned. Does someone know what is the minimum CPU frequency to run PI 2.0 correctly?
    Thanks
    Theo

    The number of vCPU's depends on your ESXi host, either your limited to 8 or you will have 16, 32, etc.  The vCPU amount is defined on the VM or PI2.0 and you can change it after the VM has been installed.  PI 2.0 has an Express (4 vCPU), Standard and Pro which require 16 vCPU.  There is a custome express that uses the Express ova (4 vCPU), but you need to increase that to 8 vCPU.  Hope that helps.
    Thanks,

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 not showing alerts from switch

    Hello,
    I have a prime  infrastructure 2.0 running at a customer place and the customer now complains that he is not receiving link up/down messages from the switch. When i checked I have seen that if I shut down a port in the switch the prime identifies after a long time, but its not generating an alarm still. How can I fine tune the prime to fix this issue. Please help on this.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Same problem here.
    I am using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (evaluation version for 60 days). I want to deploy port monitoring for my trunk ports between switches and some other important ports e.g. servers. Basically I want to get alarms when these ports are down, there are errors on ports and etc.
    So in Design>Port Grouping I created User Defined group with important ports. In Deploy>Monitoring Deployment I selected Interface Health (default)>Deploy selected Port Groups and when selected port group I created.
    Now the rule shows Deployed: Yes and Status: Active. After that I just pulled out one port which was in monitored group, waited 5min as it is set in Interface Health (default) template, and nothing happened, and worse, alarms started to show up of other ports where regular users are connected (computers was turned off), which I do not want to see at all. I tried redeploy template, I even created my own template but still no desired result.
    Any suggestions how to make port monitoring work?
