I read in another topic that it's could be a bug, do you know if there is a solution for the problem?
Thanks

I seem to have the same problem, strangely enough importing a universal image for 2960s worked fine, but I get thos error when trying to import a 3750x image

Cisco Prime 1.2 and image management

Does Cisco Prime 1.2 have the ability to work with image management? I was told yes but I do not see the options and I have verified I have the correct license...

Hi,
Go to Operate > Device work Center > software Image Management
check the below link:

Cisco Prime Decryption Settings - Import Certificate

Hi there,
I have exported a PFX from a Windows server and converted it to PEM with an unencrypted key file as pem format also. I have done this many times before for Linux based appliances with no problems so i know the format is correct.
When I go to Decryption Settings and try to import the certificate it is giving me this error: certificate:The certificate to be used by the TLS decryption engine must be enabled as a certificate authority
I have added the root certificate of this certificate chain and the intermediate to the root authority section in Prime (Configuration > Certificates) but it still gives me this error. I could see one post on the Internet with a similar error and he had converted it from PFX to PEM like myself.
If anyone has any tips that'd be great.
Thanks

Hey,
It's actually the root certificate that is meant to be uploaded to Prime not a standard certificate as it turns out (I got replies from a TAC case).
The solution is to use the root certificate from a Windows certificate authority server in a domain environment or use the self signed certificate that Prime can generate. The root certificate then must be installed onto any machines that are using web filtering or else they'll get a certificate warning/error when they start web browsing. If there's a certificate authority server and all your machines are joined to the domain then the certificate will more than likely already be trusted by PCs.
Haven't got around to trying this yet though.
Hope this helps.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Image Distribution Problem

Hey Guys,
Trying to upgrade a switch using Prime. The switch Sync's fine with Prime, SNMP and Telnet/SSH credentials seem to work. However when trying to push an Image I get the following errors in the job description:
Distributing image c3560-ipbasek9-tar.150-2.SE6.tar using protocol TFTP FAILURE
Distributing image c3560-ipbasek9-tar.150-2.SE6.tar using protocol SCP FAILURE
How can I find out more details as to what exactly the failure is?
Thanks!

Interesting note:
I found that when using the "Software Deployment" instead of the "Image" tab under a device in the "Device Work Center" to do upgrades, I encounter this problem less often.
However the problem still does occur at times and an additional problem I'm facing is that at times the upgrade jobs succeed fine, but the devices never get rebooted (in spite of having the snmp-server system-shutdown string in the config). In that case the job will never finish and shows as 'running' 10 days later. The Job also can't be cancelled or aborted successfully.

Can't import images in cisco prime infrastructure 1.2

- Any job , trying to import images, in my cisco prime infrastructure fails with :

Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 fails to import an image from file

We have a standard Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 install. The software repository has been built up by importing the IOS images from the discovered network devices. To implement netflow capabilities on some 3750X switches we need to upgrade the IOS on the chassis and the NM card C3KX-SM10G. I was able to download from Cisco Support the 3750X IOS .tar file and import it from my machines local file system. However, the modules tar file c3kx-sm10g-tar.150-2.SE6.tar fails on the upload from my local file system. When I look at the import rob results they are as follows:
Image collection from source SUCCESS
Copying Image to Staging Location SUCCESS
Copying Image to Repository FAILURE
I've tried to import just the .bin file but this also fails at the same stage as above.
I've also tried to scp the file directly into the backend file structure with no success into the folder /opt/CSCOlumos/conf/ifm/swim/jobs with the other images (oddly noticed the above .tar file for the 3750X isn't listed with the other .bin files - although is available through the webGUI).
I need to distribute the NM .tar file across multiple switches and I'd prefer to use Cisco Prime for the job. Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks.

I had (still have?) the same problem with it not copying the image over. I put in a ticket and they told me to upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 2.1-Device Pack 4 pi_2.1device_packs_4-40.ubf which helped but it still fails sometimes.
I had read a post from another thread about going through software image management to distribute and that seems to work a little better, but still fails sometimes.
So I think that there are still quite a few issues in Prime that need worked out.
We have over many switches that need software upgrades and I was hoping to do it quickly through Prime but I don't want to send out more then one image at a time to switch because I don't want it to fail. So it's a drawback right now, just doing one at a time to make sure it takes.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 import image via WAN link failed.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 behind NAT that can copy image on device to Cisco Prime infra but can not deploy from Cisco Prime Infra import image from device. How to solve problem,please ?

Have you downloaded and applied the latest Device Pack updates?
PI enhanced ASA support after the initial 2.0 release and the Device Packs incorporate that change.
The README file for Device Packs explains how to install them. (A bug currently does not allow the direct download in PI so you need to follow the method for installation from local storage after you manually download. Here is a link to the download location.

This is by no means a full solution, but deleting and re-adding only takes a few minutes if you use the "Export Device" and "Bulk Import" features from the Device Work Center. You can export the desired devices to a CSV file, delete them, then import from the CSV.
Of course, you might lose historical data when deleting the devices, but I'm guessing that's not as relevant since the devices themselves have been replaced by different hardware.

After Update Cisco Prime Infrastructure from 1.3 to 2.0 imported floor plans has black background

Hello everybody,
we have updated cisco prime infrastructure from 1.3 to 2.0. When we now import a floor plan (autocad-file, dwg-format), the background from finally image, that is show in prime, is black. Previous imported floor planes has a white background. We also tried to import a previous imported floor plan again, the background is now black. Is there a possibilty to change the background to white? Thanks

Hi,
Look no further, these issues are related to know bugs. It seems that autocad files have multiple issues with PI 2.0, Only feasible way is to convert them to JPGs and import them. Lets hope these will get fixed to the level they where at PI 1.3.
CSCuj63017, PI 2.0 dwg(AutoCAD file) import reports Tailormade is for Demo use only
Symptom:
When dwg files are imported to Prime Infrastructure, they report
"For Demonstration Purposes only
Tailor made software"
Conditions:
Prime Infrastructure - 2.0.0.0.294
Use of dwg (Auto cad) files
Workaround:
None at this time
Further Problem Description:
CSCuj94500, Loading DWG floor maps on PI 2.0 appears in black background
Symptom:
On PI 2.0 when we try to import autoCAD .dwg file to map, the map appears in black background.
Conditions:
On PI 2.0 when we try to import autoCAD .dwg file to map
Workaround:
use 3rd party tool like Draftsight or AutoCAD Trueview to change the file to .jpg and import again to PI, after that the map appear in white background in PI 2.0.
Further Problem Description:
However, the same .dwg file when we imported it to PI 1.3 appear in map with white background.

Import local net users to Cisco Prime 1.2

Hi,
We have 4400 WLC that has about 400 local users configured under local net users and we are deploying Cisco Prime 1.2 in our company. Does anyone know how to import these users to Cisco prime? I was told that it could only be done manually like re entering all 400 entries to Cisco Prime! if this is the case it 'll be tedious.
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
Complete the following steps to migrate data from WCS:
1. Place the WCS export ZIP file (for example, wcs.zip) in a repository or folder (for example, repositories).
2. Log in as the admin user and stop the Cisco Prime Infrastructure server by entering the ncs stop command. Configure the FTP repository on the Cisco Prime Infrastructure appliance using the repository command as shown in configuration snippet below:
pi-appliance/admin# configure
pi-appliance/admin(config)# repository pi-ftp-repo
pi-appliance/admin(config-Repository)# url ftp://209.165.200.227/backup
pi-appliance/admin(config-Repository)# user ftp-user password plain ftp-user
Note: Make sure the archived file is available with the show repository command.
3. Enter the ncs migrate command in order to restore the WCS database.
pi-appliance/admin# ncs migrate wcs-data wcs.zip repository pi-ftp-repo
4. By default, no WCS events are migrated. Enter the ncs start command in order to start the Cisco Prime Infrastructure server after the upgrade is completed. Log in to the Cisco Prime Infrastructure user interface with the root login and the root password.
For mmore information you can refer to the cisco prime infrastructure deployment guide:

Software images Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Hi,
I have Cisco Prime infrastructure 2.0 and all it works ok except when i try to get software image from device. I don´t see any device, so i can´t select any device and I get "RSL error".
When i try to access "Operate" > "Configuration Archives", i get the same error.
The machine from where I navigate has last "flash player" version and it has all requeriments.
Which can be the problem?
Thanks.

Hi!
I have experience the same problem under different tools in PI. I did notice it first under “Deploy>Monitoring deployment>Interface Health template>deploy and I get the 2032 error.
I have learn that this occurs when you use a client with no internet connection and you try to start above deployment tools.
What happens is that when you try to open such page in PI web interface, the flash player starts and try to get some files on the PI but the URL it get from the PI application points to a library that do not contains the file (Bug in PI?). The files the flash player looks for is called something like framework_4.5.1.21328.swz and spark_4.5.1.21328.swz and so on. The url from PI looks like https://PI_Server/webacs/applications/SAMDeployTemplate/js/framework_4.5.1.21328.swz but the file is missing.
The flash player have a backup way to get the xxxxxx.swz files it needs. If it can’t find the files in the application, it try to get it from Adobe http://fpdownload.adobe.com . But in my case my client can’t access internet so I get the error 2032.
I have another installation at another site that allows internet access everything works fine. The flash player can load the files it needs and store them locally on the client PC. Then I can take that PC back to the another site with no internet access where I did get the 2032 error and now It works fine because the flash player have the files it needs to handle the PI application.
I have a case open and it has not been solved yet.

Hi All,
I am trying to do image upgrade through cisco site & when i try loging in it shows wrong credentials thogh i use the correct one. Where exactly i should enter login cred for cisco.com in prime.

Step 1 Log in to the Prime Infrastructure server and choose Administration > Software Update .
Step 2 Click Check for Updates.
Step 3 Enter your cisco.com credentials and select the software updates you want to install.
You might be prompted to restart the Prime Infrastructure server to complete the update.

Thanks for the response but I got to know that LMS and NCS are combined in single ISO image from PI 1.2 and can be installed on the same physical NCS appliance.
Can you pls check this.
