Prime LMS 4.2 NFS mountpoint on other server

Hi Forum,
I am lookin into moving the systembackup files out of the software appliance (LMS4.2 OVA), and wonder if its possible to mount a NFS share on a external server running f.ex. linux
then have the system backup saved directly onto this mountpoint.
Any one got any ideas as to if this will work, and which steps is needed ?

Try and login with the FQD of the server and not just the servers hostname, like
http://servername.yourDomainName:1741
instead of just
http://servername:1741

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
CiscoLMS42/admin#
If I run an application operation debug at the same time I get the following output.
CiscoLMS42/admin# 6 [5343]: application:operation cars_install.c[1145] [admin]: Application initialization initiated for appname: Apache, operation: 0
7 [5343]: application:operation cars_install.c[1146] [admin]: Operations: O-APP_START, 1-APP_STOP, 2-APP_STATUS

3 [5343]: application:operation install_cli.c[281] [admin]: Error while starting application - Application: Apache ErrorCode: -999
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.

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

[ Thu Apr 18 20:53:11 GMT 2013 ] TomcatMonitor Tomcat is not ready, it's coming up Connection refused
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.

Any way to find unused ports in Prime LMS 4.2.3 ?

Hi all,
We have just installed Prime LMS 4.2.3 (about a week ago), and it is pretty much working as expected, except for one thing - I cannot get any data back from the reclaim ports report.
I have tried both the Ports Up and Ports Down options, and have even taken the time frame down to one day, but always receive a "no records" result. Has anyone got this working?
Pretty much every other report I've tried so far returns results, just not this one.... We really need to use it to determine (over a period of time) what our actual port usage is for our replacement schedule over the next few years.
-Pete

Hi Afroz,
The detailed device report is really useful, as it contains the time of the port change - I ran it for the switch I was interested in, and then exported the data into Excel and sorted on port status and change date to get the info I needed.
I also ran the "Reclaim up ports" again with the interval set for 15 days with zero result, however when I changed this to 5 days I started to get some info - my guess is that the data that is needed for this report is collected once every week or so.
My server has been running for nearly two weeks now, so I will let it do it's thing for about a month, then run the report again to get some better statistics.
Thanks for your suggestions, much appreciated !
-Pete

Problems getting Prime LMS to start up

Just got the Cisco Prime Lan NMS software. Getting this error when I try to turn up the appliance after I deployed it in ESXi -
Power On virtual machine:Failed to power on VM.
See the error stack for details on the cause of this problem.
Time: 7/16/2013 9:32:26 AM
Target: Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution
ESXi: ucs-c1b4
Error Stack
Failed to power on VM.

This is being deployed on a Cisco UCS B200 M3 with 128GB of ram. There is nothing else deployed on this blade. I elected for thin provisioning on disk storage.
Wouldnt expect that I would have to tweak the install any.
Suggestions ?

5.1 is not supported - only 4.1 and 5.0 (reference). That's most likely the root cause.
I didn't have any specific information for Prime LMS OVA but even though some folks have reported success with Prime Infrastructure 1.3 on 5.1, the product managers told me at Cisco Live that 5.1 would not be supported until PI 2.0. If they ever release an LMS 4.3 (TBD), it might have ESX 5.1 support.

Prime LMS 4.2 installation with solaris 10 volume manager

Hello
Is it possible to use Solaris Volume Manager for disk mirroring in prime LMS 4.2 installation over sparc arquitecture?
This is intended for having hard disk redundancy support.
Is there any documented reference?
O.S. Solaris 10 08/11
Cisco prime LMS 4.2
Regards

They were not tested together, and I recommend they not be installed on the same zone instance (due to potential conflicts). Now, if you're certain you have a server that can accommodate both suites (in terms of resources), create separate zones for each suite. This will eliminate the conflict possibility while still giving you one overall physical machine to manage.

Prime LMS 4.2.1 Netconfig and Template TFTP/SSH issue

I have cisco Prime 4.2.1 installed and am trying to deploy templates and Adhoc Netconfigs. The jobs are failing with the following message:
Command(s) failed on the device TFTP: Failed on the device. SSH: Failed to establish SSH connection to 10.104.114.231 - Cause: Authentication failed on device 3 times.
If I deploy a Netconfig Task, say just adding a Syslog Server to the same switch it succeeds, no problem.
I am using Cisco ACS 5.2 - TACACS and have configured the tacacspromtps.ini file for the username and password prompt. I can log onto the switch with the Prime Account no problem using Telnet. SSH has not been configured on the switch. I can't find where the protocols for connecting to devices are configured within Prime LMS?

hi gary,
based on my understanding, its because the device is not configured with SSH.
is the device running SSH enabled (K2 or K9) image? if yes, you can enable the SSH.
if no, then perhaps you want to try find it here to change it to telnet

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
•Syslog
Data Imported to PI

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.

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

Uploading 3rd Party Cert NOT Working Prime LMS 4.2

Hi all,
I followed the next steps but when I tried to upload the 3rd party cert into the Prime LMS using SSL Utlity Script option 5 or 6, the process is stuck. I did not get a message similar to step 4 like: "introduce the location of the certificate...."
1.-Create a CSR using OpenSSL as usual. (it always works on Cisco ISE, ACS, etc).
2.-Create the LMS Server Certificate on my local CA Server using the previous CSR.
3.-Downloaded the CA Root & Intermediate Servers Certificate (Base64 Encoded - In fact the Cisco Guide DO NOT MENTION this part, only when I ran the OPTION 4, I realized I needed it instead of DER Encoded I have been using regularly).
4.-Downloaded the Prime LMS New Certificate, again 64Base Encoded.
5.-Using SSL Utility Script, I ran Option 4 to validate the Certificates previously downloaded and the process went sucessful. No error messages.
6.-TRY TO UPLOAD the LMS and CA Server Certificates but the process is STUCK after introducing YES whe this is required.
Any ideas about this (may be is a bug or similar)?
thanks
Abraham

I get the identical message with a USB audio device (Cakewalk UA1G) attached to the camera connection kit. I started getting the message after I upgraded to 4.2.1.
I started a thread about it here this morning...
Apple has done something unpleasant to the USB power requirements in the 4.2.1 upgrade.

Migrate from Prime LMS to Prime Infrastructure

I'm currently running CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 on Windows 2003 under VMware and just got upgrade licensing for Prime Infrastructure 1.2. I am assuming that I will need to upgrade the current server to Prime LMS 4.2 in order to ensure that data migration to Prime Infrastructure goes well. I am planning to follow Cisco's recommendation to run Prime LMS and Prime Infrastructure in parallel for a time and migrate individual functions.
My real question is about Syslog handling. All of the managed devices are currently sending Syslog data to LMS. As a last step in the migration, is it possible to change the IP address of the Prime Infrastructure server to replace the Prime LMS server so that the Prime Infrastructure server will just start getting all the Syslog data, or do I need to go change hundreds of managed devices to point to a new address?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Putting LMS up against Prime Infrastructure is like comparing Apples to Oranges.
LMS is a very mature product and Prime Infrastructure is in it infancy stages...
My suggestion would be to leave the current LMS system up and running; bring a Prime Infrastructure server up with a Demo License; add a few of each type of device to your Prime Infrastructure server; setup a proof of concept scenario to prove you can do everything in Prime as you can do in LMS.

Intel Xeon E7 4830 for Prime LMS 4.1

Is this processor model "Intel Xeon E7 4830" supported for the installation of Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 in a virtualized environment ?

That CPU type will be fine, subject to the processor requirements outlined in the Installation Guide here.
A new installation should be based on LMS 4.2 however, and not 4.1. LMS 4.1 will limit you to being hosted on VMWare 3.0-4.1 (see elsewhere in the same Installation Guide). LMS 4.2 introduced support for VMWare 5.
There are also a fair number of updated features and bug fixes in 4.2. See the Release Notes for the full listing.

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.)

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
