Adding Device support/definitions in Ciscoworks LMS 3.2

Hi All
I am having some issues adding updated definitions for Cisco C3750X-48PS switches.
We have ciscoworks LMS 3.2 and I need to update the definition/device support for these switches. We are conducting a network refresh and are having some issues with ciscoworks polling these devices correctly.
I have looked through the various user guides and searched on google with not much luck as to how to actually do this, the links I have found breifly go into it, but not indepth, and the cisco links I have found, of course have redirects to new pages which bear to resemblance to what is in the original document. Is there a clear guide out there on how to update the switch definiton in ciscoworks? So I can i can try and do this correctly?
I am new in my current role and I want to ensure I am doing this correctly. Apologies if this has been asked before.
thanks

First thing to check is the supported device table for LSM3.2. According to it, the 3750X-48P-S is supported pretty much across the board by the LMS tools.
So you then need to just make sure you update the RME, CM, DFM and CiscoView device packages to integrate the updates into your server. While you can manually download and install the various packages, this task is more easily accomplished via the application GUI itself.
In LMS 3.2, updates can be done via the Common Services Software Center. The User Guide (here) tells how to use that area in great details. I usually just select "everything" for updating so as to be fully updated for whatever gets installed (as opposed to trying to pick and choose the minimal set of packages).

Ciscoworks LMS 4.0.1 and 3850 switch support

HI, I want to know if 3850 switch is supported in ciscoworks LMS 4.0.1, I added the devices, inventory collections successful but devices icon is blue with question mark "?" and config sync fails always.
I tried to download the packages to install it but I couldn't find it.
thanks fo help

Yes LMS 4.2 needs a new license. You can probably check once if your LMS 4.0.1 license allows you a free upgrade.
Many old LMS 4.0.1 were offered free Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.x, which has LMS 4.2 available with.
You can check the contract covering your LMS 4.0 on Product upgrade tool :

Custom device prompt in Ciscoworks LMS

Hello,
In emerging network infrastructure of our client we decided to use some custom promps at device VTY (SSH and Telnet). Console users are network authenticated by means of ACS, and in case ACS is not reachable, we decided to use login prompts as follows:
Username(local):
Password(local):
In this local mode, when CiscoWorks LMS (3.1) tries to collect configuration of switches, VLAN configuration exactly, we got such error messages in LMS interface:
TELNET: Failed to establish TELNET connection to 10.52.0.1 - Cause: Authentication failed on device 3 times. VLAN Config fetch is not supported using TFTP. Command failed VLAN Config fetch is not supported using RCP.
Of course, we have checked the possibility to got from LMS host to these devices by SSH and Telnet, credentials are correct, only login prompts are as described earlier.
I conclude, we need to tell LMS to accept our custom prompts. Is there any possibility and how to achieve this?

If you're sure the failure is due to the custom prompt, yes, you can simply follow the steps in the following document to let LMS know about that:

LMS 3.2 Adding Devices Manually

Can anyone tell me if I need a seed devices to add devices manually or can I just bypass this portion of the setup since I'm NOT going to be discovering anything with Ciscoworks.(My envoronment is to complex to perform and discovering) Or do I need a seed device anyhow for functionality of Ciscoworks and other processes?
Please advaise & thank you in advance,
Erick

If you are adding devices manually, there is no need for a seed device. The whole purpose of seed devices is to use it as staging for discovering neighboring devices.
There is a great document written on the CSDiscovery process in LMS by Joe.

Prblem while adding firewall in ciscoworks lms 2.6

We are not able to add firewall ASA5510 in ciscoworks LMS 2.6.
SNMP configuration on firewall is as follows

Please check attached file for ciscoworks configuration, SNMP Walk command output and Firewall "show version" output.

Now I am able to add firewall but when i am trying to access firewall through Cisco View> Chassis View I am getting following error.

Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 – Fault Device Details Issue

       We currently use Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 but when I go into, Monitor > Fault Settings > Setup > Fault Device Details
       I get the following message (see attached document with screenshot) and being a LMS newbie am unsure what to do? As have tried to search for this
       file but no luck.
       So thanks in advance for any advice.

Check if the fault management rediscovery page shows device as discovered and known or does it have any errors?
Are you able to generate any fault management reports and view other pages?
Just try to reboot the server/restart daemon to see if it is goes away.
Else it is mostly corrupt FM DB. Which would need to be re-initialized.
Fault Mgmt reinitialize is very simple task, which doesnt removes a lot of data, except past 31 days of FM history and custom notifications, if configured.
Thanks

CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 and devices other than Cisco.

Hello.
Can I use some CiscoWorks LMS functions like config management, topology, with devices other than Cisco?
Thanks.
Andrea

No, RME, Campus and DFM are still hardcoded to restrict to cisco devices.
HUM and IPSLA are more open.
The functionality from the HUM will allow you to monitor availablilty, interfaces and you can add OID's yourself.
IPSLA can use non cisco devices as a target for their tests.
Cheers,
Michel

CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 is supported on Windows 2008 EE R2 SP1?

Installing CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1.
I need to know if Windows 2008 server EE R2 with SP1 is now supported.
Many thanks for help.
Andrea

Hello,
Service Pack 1 of Windows 2008 Server Enterprise Edition R2 is not officially supported yet. Reference the readme.
However, I have applied SP1 to my installation of LMS on Windows Server 2008 EE R2 without breaking it. Your mileage may vary.
Hope this helps.

Extract Devices from Ciscoworks LMS 4.2 to Nagios database

Hello everyone,
I'm working on ciscoworks LMS 4.2 and as part of a project I need to extract all of my devices to a Nagios Database.
Is it possible to do ?
If yes, can you explain me how can I do that ?
Perhaps with snmp traps, I don't know.
Thank for your consideration and your help.
Cordially.

I am not an expert in Nagios, so no idea on what options does it have to import devices.
In LMS, you have an option to export devices and its credentials list in .csv and xml format. Please check if you can use any one of those to get imported on Nagios.
Check details on how to export from user guide here :
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/user/guide/inventory/mng_device.html#wp1132486
Also, you can try to fetch database details from LMS using Open Database Connect. Use the following document for more details :
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/database_schema/dbviews_42.html#wp23144
You should check the possible option on Nagios to import devices and than ask if that is available on LMS.
-Thanks

CiscoWorks: Adding device in CS but it's in pending devices in RME.

Hi,
I have fresh installed the LMS 3.2.1 without any errors. Then I am adding device in CS, give it correct credentials. Its appears in RME automatically, but it always remain in Pending devices in RME.
I have run a job in RME to check the devices credentials and it's appearing that credentials for snmp are wrong but ssh/ telnet appears as "did not try". Although I have added the correct credentials in CS for device, but it appearing as wrong in RME.
Also when I add device in CS, it's not automatically picking it's device type, until in CS I define its device type manually.
Please advise a solution for thiss problem.
Thanks

This usually indicates that SNMP contact to the devices fails
I use the CLI tools like \CSCOpx\objects\jt\bin\snmpwalk.exe to check this.
Cheers,
Michel

How many concurrent admin sessions are supported on CiscoWorks LMS 3.2?

How many concurrent admin sessions are supported on CiscoWorks LMS 3.2?

We recommend having no more than 20 simultaneous users logged into LMS (for performance reasons). All of these users can be administrators. That said, there is no hard limit.

Is there a Definitive Answer? Apple Mobile Device Support won't install

Firstly apologies, i have lost track of the number of threads i have read on this site, but none seem to resolve the issue. I am running Windows 7 64Bit (Professional), also have the same problem on a XP SP3 laptop... but the works laptop will allow the install, also win7 64 bit (but not alllowable software so need to uninstall)
I have mangemed to finally install Itunes and all associated software packages to 10.7.21, following months and months of hassle (last working version of itunes was down in 10.1.??)
BUT, frustratingly i still cannot get Apple mobile Device support to install. Before any one asks the obvious questions i have tried just about everything (assuming the one i havent tried is the one that works)
I have extracted the install file and ran that seperately, yes as administrator (both right click and forcing the compatibility in the file properties), both accounts on the machine, also created a new account and tried on that. Same issue as most people, failed to install and rolled back
I have tried installing whilst in compatibilty check and get a report that it is an incompatible application.
When opening Itunes itself i get a message that i need to install the 64bit version.
This is starting to get seriosly annoying in that my iphone 4 has now also decided to fail during an update to ios6... serves me right for listening to one of the genius's instore.
Anybody with any ideas please throw them this way. Next step is to format machine and start from scratch

So, after another evening of trawling the internet i found the following and decided it was worth a try
http://randomwindowstips.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/windows-7-itunes-9-software-is -not-installed/
The following is taken straight from Aurelius, so huge HUGE thanks. (This works if you still have 10.6.3, failing that, if you know anyone that has the latest version, this is how i got this **** programme to actually work (or wait, as this will be updated shortly!!) I had at this point let everything install from Itunes installer and again had the rollback on the AMDS.
Copy the following folders from a working machine to your machine (apologies if you don't know anyone with a working copy, keep an eye on the link as it will be updated)
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
Next, type regedit into windows search and allow the programme to start. Go to the following address:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apple Inc.\Apple Mobile Device Support]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Apple Mobile Device]
Right click and export the files. Next you need to copy them to your machine and double click them and allow to install. Restart and hopefully all is finally well (or it was on mine).
Good luck to anyone who finds this.

Can't Ciscoworks LMS 4.2.2 back up the configuration of Cisco VPN 3000 concerntrator?

Hi All,
In VPN 3000 concerntrator, I've enabled tftp, telnet, snmp. I've also successfully added the concerntrator into Ciscoworks LMS 4.2.2. All the ports are verified open to Ciscoworks. No question mark shows next to this device in the device management of LMS. However, when I run configuration Achive Job, I always get the following failed message. Can anybody tell me how to to back up the configuration of Cisco VPN 3000 concerntrator in Ciscoworks LMS 4.2.2? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but apparently not. Please see the supported devices table (here).
That table states, among other things:
The following features are not supported:
Network Topology Layer 2 Services
Fault Management
Configuration Deploy Protocols: HTTPS, TELNET, SSH, SCP, TFTP, RCP
Configuration Fetch Protocols: HTTPS, TELNET, SSH, SCP, TFTP, RCP

User tracking not finding any hosts in Ciscoworks LMS 3.1

L.S.
Our test-configuration is as follows:
Application versions:
Ciscoworks LMS 3.1
Ciscoworks Common Services 3.2.0
Campus Manager 5.1.4
We have 31 managed devices in Campus Manager (data has been collected on all),
Edit: All of them show up green in the topology window.
The device are: 2 6509 cores (running IOS s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-M version 12.2(18)SXF8), 1 ASA firewall (running ASA-OS version 8.0.5) and 29 switches (2960 and 3560 models both running ios version 12.2(52)SE). The switches are connected as follows:
User tracking jobs are running normally, but aren't finding any end-hosts or IP phones at all (I suspect around 250-500 hosts+ on these switches)
We are running SNMP v3 on the switches and have added the following configuration items to all the switches:
snmp-server group readonly v3 auth context vlan-1
<repeat for all present snmp-contexts as shown in show snmp context output>
snmp-server group readonly v3 auth context vlan-83

I'm slowly getting to a dead end here. What am I missing?

Well, our problem was resolved finally through a weird coincendence after having a websession with a Cisco TAC engineer (TAC case SR 613376661)
We changed the
snmp-server group readonly v3 auth context vlan-xxxx
commands in the switches to:
snmp-server group writeonly v3 auth context vlan-xxxx
that is: use the writestring in the snmp-server groups instead of the read string.
After we changed that, all of the User Tracking mysteriously started working.
As far as I know, the writestring should not be needed, but apparently it is....
Is there any explanation for this?
