Cisco LMS netconfig job not saving running config to startup

Hi,
I'm running LMS3.2 and RME 4.3.1. I deployed a netconfig job to our network which consisted of approximately 800 devices.
The report said that the job completed successfully however some of the devices didn't save thier running config to startup. Has anyone experienced this before?
Is it possible to add a command or issue another netconfig job just to save the running config, so I can identify if the job fails on some devices? Using the tick box in the netconfig job doesn't seem to alert you if its not successful.
Thanks,

I have seen in the past where someone is running a netconfig job with the cmd to "wr mem" as a line in the netconfig job.
Sven is correct, there is an option; radio button/check box to save the running config to startup after the job is completed.
if your job is strictly meant to "wr mem/write the config" then run a show command in config mode (non-enable) mode and select the option to save running config after job is completed.

Cisco Prime 2.1: Not writing running config after template deployment

I have noticed that Prime is not writing the running config after CLI template deployments. I deployed a changeset to over 1100 devices the other night and noticed that the configs had not been written the startup config.
I did some testing today and am using the following CLI template:
#MODE_ENABLE
copy running-config startup-config
#MODE_END_ENABLE
All tests failed. I found the syntax for enable mode from the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-0/user/guide/prime_infra_ug/create_temps.html#31705
Any ideas on why it isn't writing the configs by default or how to force it through a template?

I've got a little bit more information for you on this. If you were to login to a switch, enter enable mode and type "copy running-config startup-config" and press ENTER you'd see this:
Destination filename [startup-config]?
You'd then read the documentation and think to yourself "Self, I better use the following syntax in my CLI template"
#INTERACTIVE
copy running-config startup-config<IQ>Destination filename [startup-config]?<R>startup-config
#ENDS_INTERACTIVE
But in Cisco's world, I guess that just doesn't make any sense at all. Why use the actual interactive question when you can simply just use the first word (even though all of their examples show multi-word interactive questions). The correct syntax would then be:
#INTERACTIVE
copy running-config startup-config<IQ>Destination<R>startup-config
#ENDS_INTERACTIVE
#START_SARCASM
Duh! It's so obvious. Why in the world would one ever think anything other than that you would simply take the first word in the interactive question and just leave it at that. I feel so stupid
#ENDS_SARCASM

Config.saveNew() is not saving new config hdr id inside CZ_CONFIG_HDRS

Hi,
I am trying to create a new configuration using CIO something as below.But I see that api is returning new configuration hdr id but i dont see that id in CZ_CONFIG_HDRS table.Here is sample code inside java concurrent program.
// Create the Configuration object
Configuration config = cio.startConfiguration(cp, context);
config.completeBeforeSave();
config.saveNew();
ong headerID = config.getConfigHeaderIdLong();
long revisionID = config.getConfigHeaderRevisionLong();
cio.closeConfiguration(config);
Am I missing anything.Why this code is not saving new config hdr id inside the table CZ_CONFIG_HDRS. Please suggest if anything is missing here.
thanks,
ashok

I have done something similar and followed your approach.
The only real difference I see is that after "closeConfiguration(config)", I had these two lines:
context.releaseJDBCConnection();
context.free();
This was over a year ago and it was only a proof of concept. But I do recall that my test code was properly generating the record in CZ_CONFIG_HDRS. Perhaps these two additional lines would enforce the "commit" of the records. It might be worth a try.
Thanks,
Jason

Running config vs startup

Hi.
Smb can answer - how i can replace running config on startup config comlpitly? withou reload cisco. I can't use copy startup runnig config - it is not correct.
Snks.

Yuri
I understand what you are asking is the ability to do a complete replacement of the running config with the content of the startup config. Unfortunately the only way to do that is to reload. The architecture of IOS does not allow a complete replacement while it is running.
Perhaps it will be helpful to understand that the behavior of copy is different depending on which direction it is copying. If you are copying from running to startup then it is a complete replacement. But if you are copying from startup to running then it is not a complete replacement but is an overlay. And you are right that if the running config has a description on an interface and the startup does not, when you copy from startup to running the description will still be there. That is just how IOS works.
The only way that I know of to get what you are asking for is to manually build a config file that will copy some elements from startup to put into running (which replace existing elements - like IP addresses) and then manually put in statements to remove things from running that you no longer want to have there. It is not automated, and I know that is part of what you want. But it is the only way that I know of to get the result that you want.

Cisco Prime Soft Appliance not saving changes to syslog.conf

Greetings,
I'm having an issue with the syslog.conf file on a Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.4 soft appliance with a Solaris base. My workplace uses local4 as the logging facility for its network devices, and according to a discussion I found on this site, I need to add the line:
local4.info /var/log/syslog_info
I have attempted this several times; we're approaching at least 5 attempts today. I have attached text files created from putty logs where I've attempted to make the necessary change. I appreciate any assistance the community can provide.
Regards,
Rob

Hi, Afroz,
I really appreciate your assistance, but I'm afraid my hopes have been dashed. The syslog.conf reverted to its original configuration. I will go through my steps to be sure that I understood your suggestion properly.
I edited the syslog.conf to put all messages from local4 in /opt/CSCOpx/conf/syslog-entries.txt. Then, I exited the shell to the console, issued the 'write mem' command, and closed the session. Upon my reconnection, I found that my changes to the syslog.conf were not saved.
Did I make the correct edits in the correct places? Another question, is this bug present in the versions of Prime LMS running Linux and/or Windows, or does it only exist in the soft appliance running Solaris?
Regards,
Rob
Edit:
I'm reading the "Installation and Migration of Cisco Prime" PDF, and it gives me the impression that Cisco Prime is only supported as Windows, Solaris, and soft appliance installations. Is that correct? If it is correct, then installation of Cisco Prime LMS is not supported on other Linux distros such as Ubuntu Server, CentOS, Fedora, etc.?
My thanks.

DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB causes scheduled job not to run again

Environment: 10.2.0.2 Linux 64-bit
Hi,
I have some DBMS_SCHEDULER chain jobs scheduled to run every hour which has been running fine with no issues for a while now.
I needed to run a couple of jobs manually in-between scheduled times so I ran the job using DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB, and that worked as expected as it has done in the past.
This issue is that the jobs I ran manually haven't run at their scheduled time since I did that. The only way around it was to recreate the job completely.
Any idea if this is normal functionality, or should I be raising this as a possible issue through Oracle Metalink?
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,
This is a known bug which is tracked internally by bug #5705385. It will be fixed in the next patchsets for 10.2 and 11.1 (i.e. 10.2.0.5 and 11.1.0.7) . If you urgently need a fix, an official patch seems to be available for 10.2.0.3 .
There does seem to be a workaround - using run_job again after the first run_job has completed will not do anything but the chain job should again run on schedule.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Cron jobs not always run

I have cron jobs which do not always run. Has anyone had this problem. These are simple executables which may run one day, but not the next. Very puzzling.

415/2861
Here's in detail how/why it works this way
(and so far still the same in 10.4.4 I think):
A simple example:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1320152#1320152
Peter Sealy:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1384836#1384836
Dr. Smoke:

The problem is that they are delayed by sleeps.

How do I automatically save running config onto startup config?

When I configure onto a router, the configurations are stored in running configuration and it requires for me to run "wr" command to store running configurations onto startup configuration. Thus, this enables the configurations to be retained even after router restart.
Is there any mechanism, wherein any configuration that I do on the router, should by default be written onto startup configuration, without me explicitly invoking the "wr" command every time.

Hi,
As mentioned, there are several ways to do a periodic backup. You have commands that range from two lines to several lines. I use the following to do a write mem every 6 hours daily.
kron occurrence daily1 at 00:00 recurring
policy-list save-config
kron occurrence daily2 at 06:00 recurring
policy-list save-config
kron occurrence daily3 at 12:00 recurring
policy-list save-config
kron occurrence daily4 at 18:00 recurring
policy-list save-config
kron policy-list save-config
cli write memory
If you want to do a write mem every one hour, You can use the following commands
event manager applet WR_Conf
event timer cron name WR_Conf cron-entry " 25 * * * *"
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.1 cli command "wr"
action 1.2 syslog msg "Config has been saved by EEM script"
Thanks,

Upon startup Firefox says "Proxy is refusing connections." When I select "Auto-Detect Proxy" from Advanced settings and solve problem, changes are not saved and upon next startup I must select again...!

Firefox 4 was working fine. Then one day, when I started up Firefox, it says "Proxy is refusing connections." I solved this by selecting "Auto-Detect Proxy" from Advanced network settings, but my changes are not saved and upon every start-up I must select it again! (I even completely removed my webroot antivirus protection, as it as hindering many proxy related programs, but this seems to not be the source of the problem)

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

Qosimo G20: Wlan WEP settings not possible running Config free?

Hi!
I have a Qosimo G20 running XP media center as OS.
Default Toshiba ConfigFree is installed.
Tried to find out how to set WEP key, but trying to do so in network config/settings task was halted with a message.
This message referring to Microsoft KB 871122.
Wireless Zero Configuration seams to be replaced by ConfigFree (or other software I'm not aware of).
I can not follow the instruction as I see it as I have ConfigFree installed.
Have anyone out there encountered this problem and solved it?
/Jonas

Hi
ConfigFree is a monitoring tool and helps you to monitor your connection. It allows you to pick up the information about used connections and helps you to have a better overview.
You can not use this tool for network configuration. If you want to do this please do this:
- activate the WiFi card at first
- go into Control panel > Network Connections > right mouse click on Wireless network and choose Properties
- under "preferred networks" add your WLAN and configure "Data encryption"
I hope that will help you.
Good luck!

Touch 2G not saving runs

Hi,
This has happended the last two times I have been running now. I've been for a run and then at the end of my run clicked on "end workout" as soon as I do this instead of the summary of my workout I just get the first page of the nike+ app asking what type of workout I want to do. In the history there is not evidence of my run and the run has effectively dissapeared.
Has anyone else experienced this or is there a limit to how many runs you can have stored on the iPod (I have the 1st 5 runs I did and they are all there as expected).

I've been having this issue on my tocuh 2G with 3.0 software.
The one thing I have noticed is that it only happens when I also have a 3rd party (Jaybird) bluetooth dongle attached to the dock connector.
Hitting the Pause or end workout button on the nike app hangs the ipod. It takes almost an hour before it will let me reboot it.
I don't have the iPod in Landscape mode, only in portait. It is just laying on the treadmill shelf.

How to backup a "show tech" and a "running config" from MDS switches

hi, guys
I am a newbie of MDS switches.
but I got a request this week asking me to actively backup a "show tech" and a "running config" from the MDS switches........
so my questions are:
1) if I want to back up MDS configurations, which commnds should I run? or just "show tech" is enough?
2) is the MDS itself have the backup function? for example can ftp the configuration to someplace?
please help point me the right direction or is there any official referece docs I can refer to ?
thanks in advance!!!

Transparent Mode - running-config are not saved to Startup-config, Normal ?

I config a switch to be a Transparent Mode, then I issue the copy run start command, then I issue the show start-up command, however the Running-config is not copy to the start-up config
Is it Normal for the switch ???
vtp mode transparent
int fa0/1
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 5
int fa0/2
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 6

Hi,
If you use transparent instead of server or client, there should be no problem wit copy run start. (The difference is that in this case your switch doesn't participate in the VTP communication, only forward the received messages and doesn't update its vtp db).
During the copy running-config startup-config did you get some error message? (not enough space or something) PLease first check the flash with the show flash command.
Or try to save your running to flas not to startup config: copy running flash:test.cfg
If you need more help please send me output of show flash at least...
bye

LMS 4.2.1 Netconfig job CLI output empty

Hi,
I have run a netconfig jobs in LMS 4.2.1 with these settings:
Task Details
Task: AdhocCommands
show interface status
Devices
switch-1
switch-2
switch-3
Task: AdhocCommands
show versionDevices
-----------switch-1
switch-2
switch-3
After running the job the "Device Details" of the jobs say "Successful Devices" for all three switches:
"Deploy successful (Primary Login Succeeded   / Primary Enable Succeeded )"
For the devices switch-1 and switch-2 I get the desired output:
CLI Output

Any ideas why there is no output although the job is successful?

You Seems to be using incorrect module of ciscoworks to do this. You are using NetConfig.
Netconfig is one of the Configuration Management applications, and it allows you to change the configuration of network devices, provided the configurations are archived. Netconfig automatically updates the archive when it changes the configuration. When you use it it will try to execute the commands to configure on device and would not be interested in collecting the output.
For show commands you should use the NetShow (Nwtwork Show) module. Network show (NetShow) commands represent a set of read-only commands. These are primarily, show commands that you can run on devices that are managed in LMS.
You can specify the commands that you want to group together and then run these commands on one or many devices. The output is displayed in a browser window.
For more details see the Using NetShow Commands section of Monitoring and Troubleshooting with Cisco Prime LAN Managmement Solution 4.2 guide.

Netconfig Jobs- Error URN_NOT_FOUND: urn "JRM": Not Found!!

I have a server running Ciscoworks LMS 3.2.1 version. Server has been working without any issues.
Now when I try to go into Netconfig Jobs, I get the following popup:
CFG0008: Error occured while processing.
Possible Cause: URN_NOT_FOUND : urn "JRM" : Not found !!
I've been looking at various threads similar to my situation and tried several, to no avail.
I've progressively been getting better response from my system, by following some potential fixes.
PDSHOW works now and Server Info shows all PASS with exception of ODBC version mismatches (5).
But I still see that JRM will not start.
referenced the following thread:

Many Thanks !! Up and running.

followed the proc for deleting the two ctmregistry files and shutdown Win Rmt Mgmt Svc
Rebooted (clean restart), waited about 15 mins to settle, and all is back to normal.
I did restart Win Rmt Mgmt Svc afterwards, without any impact (left at Manual at startup)
