Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 Standard Install using OVA File HD Requirements

   Hi guys,
       I wanna install the Cisco Prime Infra Standard 2.1 using the OVA File but I haven't 900 HD Space continuous in Storage.
   Two questions
       01) The Virtual Machine allocate this space (900 HD) during the install or allocate dynamically as needed ?
       02) There is a option to install the Standard Version using less HD space ?
      Thanks
      My Best Regards
      Andre Gustavo Lomonaco

Initially we installed medium when Prime 2.0 came out, however about 3 months lately we needed to upgrade to standard/pro. Upgrading the CPU/Core was seamless
Install a smaller OVA with enough cpu/cores for the standard and just add disk space later on

Its not a recommended practice but there are work around...

Can Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 work as syslog server

Hello all,
Customer want Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 to work as syslog server. they want to query text in syslog and get raw log file from Cisco Prime Infra. but when i see in user interface. I think that it cannot query and search text in syslog. but i am not sure whether we can get raw log file per devices from Cisco Prime Infra. Can anyone know about this.?
thanks
sompoj

Hi Sompoj,
In the prime infrastructure Syslogs are directly read from udp port 514 and then filtered
, the non SEV1 and SEV2 syslogs will be dropped and will not be entered into db . The
syslog messages will not be saved into log files .
Thanks-

Cisco Prime Infra and SMS gateway integration

Hello,
Can anyone point me to right documents or resources to integrate cisco prime infra 2.x with SMS gateway?
Is there any way I can get SMS alerts for critical events in Cisco Prime Infra 2.x?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Girish

Not directly.
If you configure PI to email you on alerts, many carriers allow you receive SMS via an email address - i.e. <your_number>@<your_carrier>

Cisco Prime Infra 1.2 Web server

Hello,
I have installed a version of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2.11 with a kickstart .ova file on my production network.
Everything goes fine and I follow the instructions for installation ; i can ping my Cisco PI server and ssh into it as admin.
However, when I try to reach the web server via https, it does not work. I have reviewed my proxy settings and they are not to blame. The nslookup returns the IP address when I poll it. I have read elsewhere that I would need "NCS" service to be started, but I can't find anything called NCS on my Prime Infra server in CLI mode.
Anyone with a suggestion for this issue ?
Thanks
Jeremy

Actually I know what's happening ; the PnP (plug n play) setup was not configured, and so 443 port was not up.
I configured PnP using "pnp setup" command, but then I have to supply a list of certificates and keys :
Enter absolute pathname of PnP Gateway server key file:
Enter absolute pathname of PnP Gateway server certificate file:
Enter absolute pathname of Prime Infrastructure server certificate file:
I tried to do this with the private key I had for my server. I created it on my Certificate Authentication and got a .key and a .csr (certificate server request).
However when i feed them to my PnP setup I get this error :
Setup is in progress.......
Stop PnP Gateway server
OpenSSL command failed for mycert.csr and mykey.key
any idea as to why this is happening?
I read elswhere again that i need to run commands with "ncs" but I don't have "ncs" commands on my prompt...
Thank you for your time

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 INFRA 1.1 License

Hai Recently, we are installing cisco Prime NCS 1.1 and we are facing some issue for License.
I would like to clarrify the below licneses.
L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9
L-PINCS11-300-U
L-PINCSW11-300-U
We installed the second licnese and got 300 device limit. But we have 500 access points in our network. We are using NCS only for Wireless Management and not for Network Devices which is using LMS .
I am confused, we have additional 2 more licenses as above and why is that for??? can any one let me know these!!! Y we are using WCS-NCS license and it is having lonly 25 device limit support , which we cannot import since i already upload the second licnes. Also y this L-PINCSW11-300-u WAN license used for????

You can always remove the license if you installed the wrong license....You need to install your base first then your adder. You don't need to use the LMS or WAN as this comes free with NCS 1.1. The WCS to NCS migration comes with a free 25 ap base license. You just need to make sure you have purchased the correct license to cover your 500 ap count.
Here is another thread regarding the license:

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 DVD install fails

We want to migrate to Prime 2.2, but management doesn't want the downtime of the appliance. Trying to install Prime 2.2 via DVD onto a Dell R300 server, and then import config from our appliance to test for issues. However, the NCS install fails due to a file issue. Second burned DVD fails as well. Has anyone tried this? Using a VM (at this point) is not an option.

I've not tried it but would not expect that to work.
The .iso image (DVD) is custom-built for installation onto the Cisco NCS hardware appliance. To install onto any other hardware, you would have to first have VMware ESXi hypervisor and install using the .ova image.

Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 for Wireless and Wired Management

Hi All,
I've two CPI 2.1 physical appliances running in HA mode. Currently they are used to manage Wireless infrastructure.
Now, we are planning to buy licenses and add wired devices to CPI.
We've two separate teams. Team-A manages Wireless only and Team-B manages Wired infrastructure.
Both teams want their own Admin accounts to access CPI and they don't want to use shared credentials. If Team-A logsin with their Admin Account, they should see Cisco Prime Infrastructure dashboard and if Team-B logs in with their own Admin Account, they should see CiscoWorks LMS Dashbaord.
How can we achieve this? I can create user accounts and provide access to the CPI, but I'm not sure how to specify which dahsboard they will get access to.
Thanks,
CJ

You should consider merging team doing wired & wireless, it is difficult to manage these individually.
By any chance if you deploy 3850/3650, it is both WLC & Switch, so managing by two different teams does not make sense.

Cisco Prime Infra 2.2 + Third Party Inventory and configuration backup

Hi All,
I am having a doubt related to Cisco prime solution capability to do a discovery and config backup for non-cisco devices.
Requirement is to use Cisco prime to do a discovery, inventory and take configuration backup for non-cisco devices. Is it something possible out of the box ?
If not possible out of the box, is there any method to do that using any custom API ?
Can we monitor 3rd party( Non-cisco) devices using Cisco Prime 2.2 ?

Acrobat 9 Standard Install Using Transform Without GPO

I've created an administrative installation and used the Customization Wizard to create a transform. When I run the .msi file from the administrative installation it does not automatically call the transform. Can I run the .msi with the transform (without using GPO and AD) and assuming I can what is the switch? Thank you. - DPW

The easiest way to do this is by creating a batch file that calls the msi and invokes the transform. The code should like this:
msiexec /package AcroStan.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroStan.mst

Error in EM console after silent install using response file

Hi,
I'm trying to install oracle 10g release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) on RHEL 5 using a response file by the silent installation method. The response file itself had been generated by running a normal GUI based installation along with the record option. The same file is later being used for the aforesaid silent installation. All the installation steps go on smoothly and all the messages confirm that the installation was successfull. The database is opening and functioning smoothly on the SQL prompt and so are the listener and EM dbconsole service. But when I try to access the EM Console on the web browser, it gives a 500 Internal Error java.lang.NullPointerException.
The following is the exact grab of the error

How To Install Using "Dreamweaver_11_5_LS1" File ?

Hi,
I have downloaded a version of DreamWeaver (CS5.5) from the ProDesignTools web site that has links to older versions of Adobe applications but am not sure how to install it.
The file I downloaded is named:
Dreamweaver_11_5_LSI
There is no file extension and I get a message box from Windows asking me what application I wish to use to open the file.
Any help most appreciated.
Rgds

You need to use Gizmo Central (http://arainia.com/software/gizmo/download.html) to load the LSI file as a virtual drive. Then you can install it.
