Cisco LMS. Config Archive

Good day
Recently we've installed LMS 4.2. And also we've configured archive backup, but jobs weren't successfull. I'm getting error check credentials or increse timeout. But procedure of checking device credentials was successfull. I've checked onl ssh transport for archive is it correct?

This can be long to troubleshoot if you talk about various devices. You have to target device by device as reason of failure may differ for each device.
1. Run a job to archive config from a device and share the screenshot of result, if fail.
2. Share the DCMAService.log from server, also enable debug before you run the job for syncarchive.
3. Open device in Device centre and run a credential verification job to see if it succeeds.
4. Try to increase the timeout for telnet and read delay to almost double of what is configured.
Share the result once this is checked.
-Thanks

  • Cisco lms - config collection

    Hi, i'm looking for a way to collect config's from specific devices periodically, is this possible?
    for example, collect configs from firewalls everyday at midnight , and collect routers config once a week.
    firewalls: (about 3 devices, config changes every day)
    routers: (about 800 devices, rarely change the config)
    the only config collection schedule i have found so far is too simple:
    admin > collection settings > config > config collecion settings > periodic collection
    second question, is it possible for cisco lms to send via e-mail the diff of the config pulled from devices? i mean the specific commands that have appeared in the new configuration file.
    regards, ignacio

    Unfortunately, LMS syslog mechanism is very minimalistic and doesn't have a lot of options to it.
    However, the feature you're requesting is not very much LMS dependent. As, Ciscoworks depends on the kind of syslog message it receives from device, based on it, it captures some characters to send a notification as automated actions.
    So usually it is the device which won't send a lot of information on what changes was done by which user in normal IOS syslog messages.
    But, to certain extent, you can try to configure you device for Configuration-Change logger to receive details on what changes were made by users and check it on the syslog report, or configure AA on it for all or important devices.
    You can enable a configuration logger to keep track of configuration changes made with the command-line interface (CLI). When you enter the logging enable configuration-change logger configuration command, the log records the session, the user, and the command that was entered to change the configuration. You can configure the size of the configuration log from 1 to 1000 entries (the default is 100). You can clear the log at any time by entering the no logging enable command followed by the logging enable command to disable and reenable logging.
    Use the:
    show archive log config {all | number [end-number] | user username [session number] number [end-number] | statistics} [provisioning] privileged EXEC command to display the complete configuration log or the log for specified parameters.
    This example shows how to enable the configuration-change logger and to set the number of entries in the log to 500:
     Switch(config)# archive 
     Switch(config-archive)# log config
     Switch(config-archive-log-cfg)# logging enable
     Switch(config-archive-log-cfg)# logging size 500
     Switch(config-archive-log-cfg)# end
    So, in all, it depends on the device and the kind of syslogs it send for LMS to react on it.

  • Cisco VG248 config archive fails

    I beleive in the past these devices could not be managed bij RME config management, but now it says in the supported device table:
    The following features are supported:
    Network Topology Layer 2 Services
    Fault Management
    Inventory Collection
    Configuration Deploy Protocols: TELNET, SSH, TFTP, RCP
    Configuration Fetch Protocols: TELNET, SSH, TFTP, RCP
    The password and enable pasword are correct and simply work when I try a telnet from the server.
    The gui is not CLI but menu driven.
    RME just says:
    TELNET: Failed to establish TELNET connection to 10.1.1.7 - Cause: Authentication failed on device 3 times. PRIMARY-RUNNING config Fetch Operation failed for TFTP. Could not detect SSH protocols running on the device.
    What can be wrong?
    Cheers,
    Michel

    Hi Michel,
    Thanks for the screenshot. I found that you now have customized prompts in tacacspropmt.ini file.

  • Error Message in config Archive in RME in LMS 4.2

                      I got the below error message in the config archive in the LMS 4.2.

    Please tell me the reason for this issue.

    Are you usig only TFTP option to archive configuration. Try to use the telnet/ssh. TFTP as a protocol set for config archive.
    Check the Credential verificatio job to see if the crendentials are configured correctly.

  • RME config archive problem - lms 3.2

    just wondering if anyone else has seen this.
    about a month or so ago, I grabbed about 6 or 7 patches for our ciscoworks machine, across cm, rme, and cs. (yeah, we were a little behind)
    after applying these patches, it seems, all of the 2960s and 4948s are failing the config archive with the following:
    cm00139: could not archive config:cause: action: verify that device is managed and credentials are correct. Increase timeout
    value if required.
    so I've triple checked the credential set applied to these devices, adjusted timeout and retry values, and have gotten nowhere.
    Deleting these devices doesn't seem to help, they are rediscovered just fine, but the config archive continues to fail.
    Other than maybe trying to reinstall the rme patches (or uninstall) that were recently applied, I'm out of ideas. This is LMS 3.2.1 with
    cm 5.2.2
    cs 3.3.1
    rme 4.3.2
    running on windows server 08.
    So if anyone may have seen this and/or has any advice, I'd appreciate it. Thanks - chris

    ok, so it's been a year and a half since last post. So in addition to the above mentioned archive failures with the 4948s, the 4948s were also showing up in config out of sync summary. The only difference that were showing between running and startup was the ntp clock period.
    I did see that the clock period statement was in the exclude list for routers and a bunch of other things, but not for the 4948s. I added this as an exclusion yesterday. Today when I checked, all 4948s are archiving now, and are off the out of sync report. Never would have crossed my mind to check there, but that exclusion seems to have done the trick. Maybe someone else can use this if they're seeing the same thing. - chris

  • Cisco Prime 2.2 Config Archive get Partial-Success

    Good morning everyone!
    I have a question regarding Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 and Config Archive. Im trying to backup a configuration for an old WS-CBS3020-HPQ blade with IOS version 12.2(58)SE1 and im getting an error under "Fetch vlan" that says :
    Couldn't able to collect VLAN on the device. TFTP server not accessible from device.
    Im not sure what this means? It gets partial-success, but the error message worries me. Im not able to find anything in the logs or by searching for the error code. Anyone have any idea where to look? The credential is correct, i tripple checked :)

    I tried using the "tftp-server flash:" command, but didnt help. Im also seeing this problem with a couple of Cisco 3750x switches.

  • Config Archive Failure

    This image shows that I have Telnet, SSH, TFTP and HTTPS configured for  Config Fetch. What am I missing?
    Thanks Joseph!
    I don't know why, but nearly ALL of my Config Archive VLAN is failing. I am  receiving the following:
    TELNET: Failed to establish TELNET connection to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - Cause:   Connection refused. Command failed  VLAN Config fetch is not supported using  RCP.   VLAN Config fetch is not supported using TFTP.
    The above switch is using SSH - not Telnet, but it doesn't try???
    The other error is:
    Command failed  Could not detect SSH protocols running on the device     VLAN  Config fetch is not supported using RCP.   VLAN Config fetch is not supported  using TFTP.
    On this one, it should be using Telnet as that is what is supported on this  particular switch.
    I have verified the credentials are set up correctly for both of these.
    Also, this isn't isolated - it's happening on 293 devices. Only 2 are  successful.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I am running LMS 3.2

    The following is what I see in the logs:
    ],ERROR,[Thread-1926],com.cisco.nm.rmeng.dcma.configmanager.ConfigManager,updateArchiveForDevice,1355,VLAN RUNNING Config fetch Failed for csw-a1xc-201-004

    Please ensure that you have the credentials corrected in the DCR under Common Services --> Device and Credentials --> Devices Management --> Select all the devices in question, edit credentials.
    1. Ensure the primary enable username and password is correct and populated.

    Afterwards, rerun the device credential verification to test for telnet, ssh, SNMP RO and RW and ensure it passes. Then do a sync archive and let me know the results.

  • Cisco LMS 3.2 SYSLOG not storing after 10 days

    Hi ,
    Im facing one issue with Cisco LMS 3.2
    Issue : The logs is generating only for 10 days and post that im not able to see the logs. I have not done any config changes. The only change i have done is i have completely reinstalled the LMS. i did multiple troubleshoot but not able to resolve this isse. It would be great If any some one is  able to help me in this isse.  Thanks.
    Regards,
    Juliet

    Dear Vinod
    Thanks for ur response and the problem has been resolved.
    The purge policy was set to 60 days only .The problem in reports viewing setting.
    Syslog folder under LMS would store syslog reports of both the device as well as applications for defined folder size , which in your case was 1 MB ( same can be viewed under log generator option).  The  older reports would get deleted from the folder upon reaching the limit.
    The only way to view device syslog is under following option :  Reports -> Reports Generator  in LMS  GUI where we will have to choose syslog with desired attribute.
    Regards,
    Juliet

  • Cisco lms - backup out of the box

    when using cisco lms 4.2.5 linux version, what would be the best way to backup the config files out of the box?
    what i'm lookin for is a way to take the shadow folder to another box for disaster recovery.

    Hi, i found this solution to work very well for exporting files out of the box:
    As user root:
    1) on cisco-lms install sshfs, which lets you mount a folder on a remote box through sftp:
    install in the following order:
    rpm -ivh fuse-libs-2.7.4-8.el5.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -ivh fuse-2.7.4-8.el5.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -ivh fuse-sshfs-2.5-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
    2) mount 
    mkdir /mnt/backup
    sshfs root@<remote-linux-box-ip>:<remote-folder> /mnt/backup -o allow_other
    3) rsync with cron
    00 1 * * * rsync -r -v /var/adm/CSCOpx/files/rme/dcma/shadow/* /mnt/backup/ >> /root/rsync.log 2>&1

  • Upgrade Cisco LMS to PI

    We currently operate Cisco Prime LMS v4.1 and we're looking to upgrade Cisco PI (Prime Infrastructure) in the next few weeks.
    Is there an upgrade path from Cisco LMS to PI?  The reading I have completed seems to indicate that an upgrade can only be completed from Cisco NCS.
    If I need to perform a new install of PI, can I somehow Migrate / Import my existing device database and config into the new software?  I have configured some syslog fault rules for e-mail notification, config templates, custom reports, etc, that I would also like to keep and not necessarily recreate.
    Thanks.

    As cwallin noted, LMS 4.2.2 patch added the ability to migrate some information from LMS to PI.
    Most customers would not be well-served by migrating a mature LMS implementation to PI at this time due to the fact that PI does not yet have feature parity with LMS, Even PI 2.0 (due out in a couple of months) will not have complete feature parity.
    See this link for a current comparison.

  • Device Alert from Cisco LMS

    The alerts are quite generic.  The individual EVENT details will contain many more details.  Initially, it looks like DFM is showing you trap information relating to config  and STP changes.  If you have determined that these are not important, then you can clear the events (or mark them as acknowledged).  If you're receiving these as notifications (e.g. email notifications), you might consider creating event sets to filter the events to just the ones in which you are interested, then unchecking the boxes for alerts in your Notification Group.

  • Cisco LMS VS HP open view

    Good day team,
    is there any major difference between them more than the one belows
    Cisco LMS
    only cisco devices
    easy to manage
    can use cisco discovery
    HP OPEN view
    MultiVendor
    hard to manage
    can not use deivce discovery

    Hi,
    I dont have a much experience with HPOV, but i can share more benefits from what you have already mentioned about
    CWLMS, due to which I think it surpasses HPOV in many sense.
    CiscoWorks LMS is a very powerful management  tools that simplify the configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of Cisco networks.
    Following are some of the more detailed features which separate LMS from any other NMS software :
    > A strong next-generation device discovery is done using cisco Propreitary CDP and other new technologies, modules and protocols like HSRP, ARP, BGP, OSPF, Cluster Discovery Module, LLDP, and routing Table as well.
    > Real-time network fault analysis with easy-to-deploy, device-specific, best-practice templates.
    > Hardware and software inventory management, centralized configuration tools, and syslog monitoring.
    > Monitoring and tracking of network response time and availability via IP SLA
    > Real-time device and link management, as well as port traffic management, analysis, and reporting.
    > Support for network virtualization through configuration, reporting, monitoring and troubleshooting for VRFLite networks.
    > More quickly and reliably utilize Cisco best practices using Cisco Smart Business Architecture (SBA) templates.
    > LMS has Smart Services Interaction for contextual Technical Assistance Center (TAC) case creation and Cisco Support Community and it's interaction can Smartly tap into the Cisco Support Community knowledge base, streamline interactions with TAC.
    > Cisco Prime LMS manages the deployment of the latest Cisco technologies and services such as medianet, Cisco TrustSec, and EnergyWise.
    > A very crucial support for End-host manangement, including a separate IP Phone information.
    > An integrated Inventory, software and configuration archive mechanism.
    > Get immediate up-to-date information about the network through flexible reporting for inventory, user tracking, compliance, switch port usage, end-of-sale, PSIRT, and other critical areas.
    > Easily manage all phases of the end-to-end lifecycle of Cisco value-added technologies and solutions, such as medianet, EnergyWise, TrustSec and Identity, Auto Smartports, and Smart Install.
    A better comparison, if you are planning to get one, is ofcourse by using both of them. A evaluation Copy of Ciscoworks can anytime be downloaded from :

    Hope it helps!

  • Cisco Prime Configuration Archive on Interface Flap

    Hey All,
    We've been using Cisco Prime 2.1 for a bit now and I have a question about the configuration archive based on change events.  Will Cisco Prime go and attempt to perform a config backup based on an interface flap?  Looking at the audit logs it appears that it does that (see attachment).  Is this a default behavior and does anyone see any benefit to this?  It seems like if an interface is flapping it will continuously log into the device to see if the configuration has changed.
    Brian

    Hi Brian,
    I don't think configuration achieve can be triggered due to interface flap ,however if there is any change in the configuration yes PI can do the config Archive
    Go to Administration > System Settings > Configuration Archive
    Archive Configuration on receiving configuration change events?    Check box this option
    Thanks-

  • Cisco LMS - logs exceed limit

    Hi friends,
    First of all, let me introduce myself since I'm new with cisco community. I'm syafiq currently working as an network administrator in Malaysia.
    I need guidance on cisco LMS as I'm really new with the LMS systems. Currently I'm having issue with LMS where the log files are exceeding the size limit set by pervious administrator. Can anyone help me on how to backup/ remove the logs file and set it to a new locations i.e. new drive ?
    thanks in advanced!

    Hi,
    Welcome to CSC.
    Ciscoworks has many features and all of those features has dedicated processes. All those processes and many ciscoworks agnets write their output (logggin) to the *.log files. Most of them are under NMSROOT/logs.
    These files are usually not important enough (except syslog.log mostly) unless there is any issue with any of the LMS function and it needs to be t/shooted.
    But these logs files should not be deleted, nor there data needs to be preserved for long, unless your organisation policy says so.
    Because processes keeps on writing constantly to these log files, these log files can grow and can continue to grow to become extravagantly huge sometimes, hence need to be controlled, which is why the 'Logrot' feature was inlcuded.
    Logrot is a log rotation program that enables you to control the log files size growth. It helps you to:
    •Rotate log files while CiscoWorks is running.
    •Optionally archive and compress rotated logs.
    •Rotate log files only when they have reached a particular size.
    You can configure it from :
    Common Services > Server > Admin > Log Rotation
    Please check configuring log Maintaining Log Files section of the user guide for more details.

  • Cisco LMS - Check for multiple words?

    Can anyvbody help me out with a Cisco LMS query.
    I'm doing a complaince check for snmp-server location
    +snmp-server location [#.*#]
    But I assume as I've got mulitple words which may vary it shows as not present in the complaince check even though it's in the config.
    e.g. snmp-server location Martin's house in the middle of Scotland
    I think [#.*#] stands for a missing string but not for multiple words, can anyone help me out with what I could use for multiple words?
    Thanks in advance
    Martin

    I could solve the monitoring issue with snmp context configuration. I had to map each OSPF process to a snmp community. So i could retrieve data for each OPSF process. My issue now is how to add multiple communities to an LMS controlled device.
    As far as i know, LMS support only one RO community per device.
