Update to Prime LMS 4.2.3

Hello
After update to LMS 4.2.3 is get always a message to confirm when login:
"Server is capable for performance tuning. Please enable PTT ...."
Even when i setup PTT the message will come again next time i login.
The message comes also several times after login.
Does anybody know where to disable this message?
Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,
That's bizarre...
After CLI 'rmeptt.bat -show' does the output really show 'The profile applied on this machine is: perftune_Windows'?

After that when i do any update its seem fail and there are no event log anymore. I really appreciate if you can advise

Please share the error you see when you try the software update. Deleting event log will make no effect. Also, please try device update and see if you are able to connect to cisco.com and see device packages properly?
With the screenshot of error, share NMSROOT/log/psu.log from windows server or /var/adm/CSCOpx/log/psu.log from unix/lnx machine.

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

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.)

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).

Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 - Support for Cisco Catalyst 3560-C Series Switches

Hello together
I have a customer which uses the following switch. Last year I have installed LMS 4.1 for him to manage the switches. Unfortunatly the switch model is not supported. According to the information found on the following site the switch is supported for most of the modules in LMS:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.1/device_support/table/lms41sdt.html
The oid object of the device is the following: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1465
Supported Software: 12.2(55)EX (Customer has 12.2(55)EX3
Version Support Type: Device Update
So I updated all device updates I was able to find.
Step 1: For that I went to Admin > System > Software Center > Schedule Device Downloads and created a job where I have downloaded the latest versions of all packages.
Step 2: Installed the downloaded packages Admin > System > Software Center > Device Update and installed all the packages.
Unfortunatly I don't see the same result like described in the Supported Device Table for LMS 4.1.
- Cisco View -> works
- Inventory and Config Collection -> works
- Fault Monitor not working -> Error Code Unsupported
- Network Topology Layer 2 Services -> Device Type ciscoProducts.1465, Symbol Question Mark
- VLAN Management -> Doesn't work
- User Tracking > seems also not to work
When I open the report for supported devcies (Reports > System > Device Support) and search for C3560C... I find the following devices, but not mine which i need:
C3560C-8PC-S     .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1466
C3560CG8PC         .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1317
C3560CCG8TC     .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1318
wsC3560CPD8ptS     .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1368
Does anybody have experience with the same switch type / model? Am I doing something wrong or is this type of switch not implemented correctly till now? Further the docuemntation supported devices would be wrong.
Thanks for any feedback Erich

Thanks but I just heard back from my Cisco SE and he assures me that an AP will NOT use up a license.
I've asked him to verify his answer for me.
Is your answer based on real world expereince (the best there is)? That is, are you running Prime LMS 4.1 and does it indeed use up a license for each light-weight AP it discovers & manages?
Thanks for mentioning options 1-3 but I do not wish to employ any of them. I don't mind buying the additional licenses for APs ... I just need to know if I have to or not.
Ian.

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
6 [5343]: application:operation cars_install.c[1150] [admin]: Verifying app (Apache) is installed ...
3 [5343]: application:operation cars_install.c[1152] [admin]: App (Apache) is not installed.
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.
regards
Rich

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.

SharedArea: Unable to find 'testSharedAreaPtr' in SHARED_PER_VM_VMX area.
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.

Unable to update from Prime Infrastructure 1.2 (1.2.0.103)

Hello,
I would like to update my Prime Infrastructure installation to the latest 2.0. According to this document I'm trying to install the update
pi_1.2.1.12_update.tar.gz but I always get this error:
PRIME-0000-01/admin# copy ftp://172.16.14.102/pi_1.2.1.12_update.tar.gz disk:/defaultRepo
Username: ftpuser

Save the current ADE-OS running configuration? (yes/no) [yes] ?

The file's MD5 is correct on the ftp server, and I've copied it many times into defaultRepo, always getting the same error.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Matteo

Ok, I've found the solution. The ftp copy was changing the file each time, so the file was always corrupted once in the defaultRepo.
On the ftp server:
# ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root     root     11734212 Sep 25 16:19 pi_1.2.1.12_update.tar.gz
On the Prime server, when copied using ftp:
PRIME-0000-01/admin# dir disk:/defaultRepo
   11733763 Sep 25 2013 16:21:10 pi_1.2.1.12_update.tar.gz
So, I've copied the file using http, and this solved:
PRIME-0000-01/admin# copy http://172.16.14.144/pi_1.2.1.12_update.tar.gz disk:/defaultRepo
PRIME-0000-01/admin# dir disk:/defaultRepo

Save the current ADE-OS running configuration? (yes/no) [yes] ?

Thanks anyway!

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

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.
