Backup LMS 3.2

Hello,
I scheduled a weekly Backup using GUI in Common Services; the backup generates a folder and it size is around 300MB (managing around 300 devices). Supposing that the server fails and i have to restore all configurations and databases, is enough with this backup??
In other words, the backup that is taken is just for the databases or it includes databases and configurations and everithing to restore the server exactly as the one that failed?
I'm also trying to schedule a backup using pearl utility but I can't find any document with a guide to do that. If somebody knows how to find one please let me know.
Thank you very much for your help.
Juan Florez.

Hi Juan,
the document how to use a perl script - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/2.5.1/data_migration/guide/bkppl.html.
Backup stores the databases and main properties (minor properties could be missed, for instance the job schedule time for some jobs).

Is seems to be problem related to maximal filesize handling of GNUtar implemented in CW2000.
The problem is with tar'ing HUM-Reports in /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/webapps/upm/reports, and with reaching
tarfile-size of 2,9GByte error is thrown.

Is this a know problem?
Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi Joe,
thanks for your feedback.
These files to be tarred aren't there directly after backup stops with error.
It seems that some process stores data about reports in that file and when trying to
pack these reports via tar they are delete by any cleanup method.
Does this help.
P.S. Backup usually takes about more than 1hour

LMS 4.2 Soft Appliance - No Remote Backups?

Hi All,
I have a new installation of LMS 4.2 on the Soft Appliance and seem ot be only able to configure backups to the local disk?
There is no option to select any of the configured repositories like there is in ACS.
I can backup to /localdisk, after change to filesystem as below:
chgrp casusers -R /localdisk
chmod 0775 /localdisk
but the issue is, how to I get this off the box in an automated fashion so it can be part of our corporate backup schedule?
Thanks,
Aaron

To backup LMS you need to use the built-in backup utility. The target for your backup can be on a different partition / mount point. See this section of the admin guide.
Almost any database server or server which relies heavily on a database (such as LMS) requires that backup solutions be tightly integrated so as to preserve the data integrity.

Backup problem with LMS 3.0 on Solaris

Hi All,
I'm encountering problems with LMS 3.0 when I try to do a backup. After you hit OK on the window that says "Do you want to backup now?", an error would pop up saying: "Enter a new directory name or ask the system administrator of the Ciscoworks Common Services server to make the directory accessible to user casuser", thus I cannot proceed with the backup process. When I do backup, my login privilege is admin. Even tried to do backup on the same partition as my CSCOpx directory but to no avail.
Appreciate your help on this guys. Our LMS 3.0 runs on Solaris platform. Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your prompt response. By the way, what is a casuser? Is he also one of the user that can be found on the Local User Setup on Common Services? The scenario here is that, I am not the one who installed the Ciscoworks LMS 3.0 on the client side, so I am not aware on how they did the installation procedure for the application. I remember assigning casuser password during installation on our other clients that has LMS 3.0.
Will the write access on the backup directory for the casuser be done by the Solaris root administrator?
Thanks for your help.

Problems upgrading from LMS 3.0 to LMS 3.2 - the backup fails.

I'm upgrading from LMS 3.0 to LMS 3.2 on Solaris. I've met all of the prereq's, patches, etc. It keeps failing on the Backup...It claims I need 15 Gig for the backup. The backup directory I'm using (/opt/backup) has 35 Gig free, so that shouldn't be the issue.
Here is the error I'm seeing in the backup.log;

okcwsi:
I've tried this multiple times and each time it appears to fail on a different file/folder in the sw_images directory. This is our FTP directory where we store lots of IOS images for download. I've removed each of these files it errors out on and it keeps failing. I just removed all files from the sw_images folder and am trying the backup again now.
I'm attaching the backup.log which contains the failure information for each backup I've tried in the past two days.
My main question is...can I skip this backup somehow? I've got another LMS 3.0 system that I can export everything I need from. Skipping the backup isn't an option on the install/upgrade? It gives me the option to quit the install or try the backup again.
Thanks,

You can skip the backup with a hidden option:
./setup.sh -b nobackup
However, I wouldn't feel comfortable until figuring out why the backup has been failing, ostensibly because tar is running into the 255-char limit (100 for the filename and 155 for the path), a result of the many iterations of the following:

LMS 3.2 - Backup hangs with validating ANI-DB

Hello all,
on our Solaris Systems running LMS 3.2 backup struggles with backing up ANI-DB (even after doing Restore of orig db).
As the problem arises on more than one LMS 3.2 system with same patch-level my question
to you -> is this a known problem?
Thanks for any feedback

At this phase, the backup is trying to verify the database. When that hangs, it typically means the database is corrut in some way. It could also point to a very large ANI database, and this phase is just taking a long time. It also looks like you're trying to backup to an NFS mount. Can you try a backup to a local file system, and see if the verification completes?

LMS 3.2 with RME 4.3.1 backup configuration problem

Hi,
I am faing some problems in backing up devices in the network where it shows errors.
i am trying the to backup configuration for switches
1- WS-C2960-24PC-L with an ip 10.10.x.1 (10.10.11.1, 10.10.12.1, 10.10.14.1,,,,,,,,,,,,,) but it is giving me errors, sometimes it gives:
*** Device Details for 10.10.12.1 ***
Protocol ==> Unknown / Not Applicable
Selected Protocols with order ==> Telnet,TFTP,SSH,RCP,HTTPS
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
i have tried to change the fetch setting but it keeps on changing it to default setting.
and another time this output
CM0151 PRIMARY STARTUP Config fetch failed for 10.10.14.1 Cause: TELNET:
Failed to establish TELNET connection to 10.10.14.1 - Cause: Authentication failed on device 3 times.
PRIMARY-STARTUP config Fetch Operation failed for TFTP.
Could not detect SSH protocols running on the device
Failed to fetch config using RCP.Verify RCP is enabled or not.
Action: Check if protocol is supported by device and required device package
is installed. Check device credentials. Increase timeout value, if required.
2- WS-C3560V2-24PS with an ip 10.10.x.2 (10.10.11.2 ,,,,,,) with error that i have to check the dcmaservice.log
3- WS-C2960-48PST-L with an ip 10.0.0.100 with error that i have to check the dcmaservice.log
Note: the switches 3560v2 and 2960-48PST-L are showing as unknown in the DFM although i updated the DFM with the patch
Please find the attach the dcmaservice.log , i was not able to analyz it
Please i appreciate some help.
Regards,
George

Without debugging, it's impossible to say exactly why things are failing. However, based on the errors, I would double-check the DCR credentials for these devices and make absolutely sure you can connect to them using the DCR credentials from the LMS server. You can confirm this by exporting the records for these devices from Common Services > Device and Credentials > Device Management. If SSH should be the protocol that works, also try telneting to the device from the LMS server on TCP port 22. You will get an SSH version string back. Make sure it is one of 1.5, 1.99, or 2.0.
The timeout problem could be symptomatic of another bug. Restarting ConfigMgmtServer (pdterm ConfigMgmtServer/pdexec ConfigMgmtServer) may help. The fact that the job timeout resets to the default means there is a problem with your regdaemon.xml file. If you post this file, I can fix it for you.

LMS 3.1 Backup job Failing

Hello,
We have LMS 3.1 installed and the backup is failing with the following message
[Tue Feb 8 09:20:26 2011] ERROR(247): E:/Backup_3/backup.LOCK file exists
Most probably another backup process is running
[Tue Feb 8 09:20:26 2011] Backup failed: 2011/02/08 09:20:26
I tried to do the following, but it didn't work:
1- Run again the backup job, but specify a new backup directory folder (ex: E:/Backup_4/). --> Did not work
2- - Stop the Deamon Manager service using: net stop crmdmgtd --> Did not work
     - Delete the backup.LOCK file from the E:/Backup_3/ folder
     - Restart the Deamon manager service using: net start crmdmgtd
     - Run the backup job again using the new Folder destination.
Please Advise,
Regards,

I am currently working on a same issue with LMS 3.1 on windows;
After stopping dmgtd have you been able to delete the backup.lock or have you restarted the server?
In my case I was not able to delete the file and it turned out dbvalid.exe blocked this. The backup seems to run without any problems. When the backup is done dbvalid.exe trys to verify the backup database files. This validation fails and dbvalid starts dbsupport.exe to get some detail information on the failure and trys to send them to Sybase support. You should find (several ?) crash files here: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\SQL Anywhere 12\diagnostics. dbsupport.exe seems to be started interactively and thus hangs up waiting for some user input...
In the crash file I see dfmInv mentioned as the database which did not pass dbvalid. I assume I will end up reinitializing the dfm databases to recover - but let's wait and see. I found some hints that there could be a bug with dbvalid.exe form Sybase- not sure if this is the culprit or a real DB error. What I found really strange is the cli of dbsupport.exe (see the option -gui at the end... )
D:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\objects\db\win32\dbsupport.exe" -crash "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SQL Anywhere 10\diagnostics\SA10_20110215_040218_4348.crash_log" -crashpn "dbeng10" -crashsn "dbvdfmInvEng" -gui
Also, I would quickly backout the last know good backup from the backup directory - just in case... (the one before the failure raised the first time)

How to backup RME in lms 3.2

I am going to update RME 4.3.0 to 4.3.1. It is recommended that I take a backup of the RME data. How do I backup RME on Solaris? Please help.
Thanks,
Katarina

Hi Katarina,
As far as I know there is no way to backup RME alone, you'll need to create a complete LMS backup.
To create the backup please go to: Common Services > Server > Admin > Backup

Backup/restore questions LMS 4.2

Hello,
I have several questions regarding data migration from LMS 3.2.1 to LMS 4.2.We will perform backup and restore procedure on new LMS4.2 server machine .
1. I am wondering what will happen with admin password aftrer restore, and all the other passwords in LMS. What will be effective? What will happen with database passwords?
2. Other thing is : LMS 3.2.1 is installed on D:\ProgramFiles\CSCOpx and the new LMS 4.2.1 is installed in D:\CSCOpx
Will there be problems during restore, because the paths on old and new LMS server are not the same?
3. When to perform the licensing? Should I apply license before restore? I think I would have to apply it before beacause customer has 300 devices and eval license iz for 100 only.
4. Does PI_CM license - Compliance Management License comes with the product? How do we get this license? I am aware that this CAAM is new feature in 4.2 version so I am not sure does the customer have rights on it. They have bought upgrade from 3.2 to 4.1 and they have valid support contract so we will go to 4.2 version.
Thanks!
Marija

Following are the answers :
1. LMS's user info and passwords are stored in cwpass file under NMSROOT\lib\classpath\com\cisco\nm\cmf\servlet, which is also
backed up with DB backup. Hence restore would bring all previous user names and passwords.
2. Ciscoworks has a mechanism which doesn't bothers the install directory. It sets environment variable as NMSROOT which is replaced by
the install directory and hence there should not be any issue. Please note that Inter-OS resotre are not supported.
3. You can apply the license anytime, but it is good to install it before backup restore, else the excess of devices, more than 100
will go to unmanaged state and will have to be brought back to managed state once lic is applied.
4. CAAM lic has to be purchased separately. You can contact lic. team or your accounts team for this.Till that time you can use it with its 60 days eval lic.
-Thanks

Upgrade from LMS 3.2 to 4.0 - Backup inquiry

I'm going to upgrade very soon from LMS v3.2 to v4.0, and I want to back up all my router and switch configurations just in case anything goes wrong at any point. Is there some sort of document I should look at that contains a brief on:
Everything I need to back up
How to go about backing the system up completely
If something does go wrong, how to restore using the backup
If someone could help me out with the above info, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Aamir

If anything is wrong with the backup you will have an error message. Also could double check in the backup.log file that the backup was succesfull.
