Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 licensing

I have a customer that is running CiscoWorks 3.2 and they also have NCS 1.1 (upgraded from WCS 7.0).  They have found that it costs way more to upgrade CiscoWorks to Cisco Prime Infrastructure than it would be to just buy licenses after they finish upgrading NCS to Cisco Prime 1.2. 
The main question about Cisco Prime 1.2 is how the licensing works, we need to know if the licensing will work the same as it did for CiscoWorks where they only needed one license for a full stack of switches.  They believe that Prime 1.2 will require a license for each switch in the stack, which will cause them to buy several more licenses than what they feel they can afford.
If anyone knows how the licensing works, it would be appreciated.
Thanks.

    Compliance Management - 500 Device License "L-PI-1.1-CM-500"
    What really confused me that i tried to search server cabalitity for my requirments & Operating system and couldn't find it ...... what i need your help for is the following:
    1) What is the server requirments ???
    2) What is operating system (windows 2008 or VMWare VMware ESX/ESXi Version 4.1 or 5.0)
    3) Is their any deticated applicance from Cisco ??
    Please help
    Thanks in advance

    In addition to the release notes for the 4.2.3 patch noted above, please also see  the 4.2 release notes which further direct you:
    Server and Client Requirements
    For information on server and client requirements for the system and browser, see Chapter 2 of Installing and Migrating to Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.2 at:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/install/guide/
    install.html
    To summarize the options it describes, you can run the LMS product on any number of platforms - a dedicated Cisco hardware appliance, a physical server of your own with Windows or Solaris OS, a VMware server with a Windows server OS guest, or a "soft appliance". The soft appliance is package built with the underlying guest OS (a customized RHEL distribution with Cisco's Application Development Environment OS (ADE-OS)) built-in.
    Once you have installed LMS 4.2, you should patch - first to 4.2.2 and then to the current 4,2,3. then run the software update feature to bring all package components up to date.
    Regarding licensing, there is a Cisco Prime Infrastructure Ordering and Licensing Guide here.
    When you order the licenses for PI 1.2 (new customer), you order the base product and then Lifecycle licenses (required for either PI 1.2 Lifecycle and LMS installations - which option is a customer choice) and, optionally, Compliance and Assurance licenses. An upgrade order for an existing LMS customer will include the base PI 1.2 with Lifecycle licenses as well as LMS in a single SKU as noted in tables 4 and 5 of the Ordering Guide.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3, Mail Configuration

    Hi,
    I have a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 and I want to set up the mail. When I test it,  I get this error:
    Failed  to send mail to primary SMTP server. Failed to send mail to secondary  SMTP server. Please make sure that you save mail configuration by  hitting 'Save' button.
    I have the ip  address, and the username and password. Do I need to create a new buzon  for the prime? because by default the "From" field appears with
    [email protected]
    Thanks!!

    Some extra info that has just come to my attention.  At one point we were running (we're actually still running) CiscoWorks with LMS3.2 and Cisco NCS 1.x.  I merged these two things together into Cisco Prime Infrastructure (upgraded the licensing to get 450 lifecycle licenses to cover the APs + all of the devices coming from LMS3.2).  I followed all of the documented procedures to upgrade the NCS appliance to Prime Infrastructure.  But when I type "show application" from the CLI of the NCS appliance (now the Prime Infrastructure appliance) I see this:
    HQ-NCS1/admin# show application
    NCS             Cisco Prime Network Control System
    Is that normal?  Maybe this is my problem.  Should this output list "Cisco Prime Infrastructure" instead of (or in addtion to) Cisco Prime Network Control System?  When I login to the GUI it shows "Cisco Prime Infrastructure" and the GUI has changed considerably (menus are different) so I'm assuming that the application upgrades I launched from the CLI to go to Prime Infrastructure worked fine.

  • Upgradding Prime Infrastructure version 1.2 and LMS 4.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0

    Hello,
    A customer currently have 2,500 Cisco Prime Infrastructure Lifecycle device license using Prime Infrastructure version 1.2 and LMS 4.x. the customer wants to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade to version 2.0 without additional cost? the licenses from
    Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 has to be upgraded or we need only to rehost the VUDI.
    Also could be possible to upgrade LMS 4.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0?
    thanks!

    The two features you mention are two big missing ones. Another is full syslog capability. I don't believe CiscoView or day one support via package updates is included either.
    Another is less tangible - the depth of experience and documentation available for LMS vs. Prime Infrastructure (particularly the wired management features). I agree for wireless PI 2.0 looks good. Some new features are coming for wired that look promising but they are new as of PI 2.0 so I'm taking a wait and see on them.
    I hope to get 2.0 up in my lab in the next week or so and will hope to be pleasantly surprised but that's seldom the case with a major new release.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure Scheduled Configuration Archive not executing

    We have a deployment of Cisco Prime Infrastrcuture 1.3 (1.3.0.20).
    Configuration Archive is a feature that collects and archives the device configurations i.e. cisco switches.
    You have an option to schedule this to run, say daily, weekly etc. Once scheduled you can see it in the "Jobs Dashboard" and with the "next start time" of what you configured. I have a situation whereby  the time it is suppose to start - it doesnt - howevere flags the job as a "success". Not newe device configurations are archived and the "next start time" remain the same. Its almost like it is failing to execute, but some other process under the hood thinks that it was been executed correctly?
    Any ideas or experience that could help here would be appreciated!

  • Can i install Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 with 1.1 license.

    Can i install Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 with 1.1 license.To be more precise it will be fresh installation
    but the licenses I have is of 1.1.As per my overview from Cisco prime Infrastructure 1.2 NCS and NCS(WAN)
    has been bundled into one service.But both were seperate entities in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1.

    It doesn't matter if you want to make a new installation or an upgrade. The questions is the license.
    The base license is necessary for network management nodes (devices). But to get updates for your system you need the additional to your Base License the Lifecycle License (which can be ordered for 12, 24 or 36 months).
    The Lifycycle License is also based on the number of managed devices. In your case 50 devices. So you have that License - congratulations!
    Otherwise order the Lifecycle License for 50 devices (L-N-PI12-50-M). This generates CON-PSUU-PI12LF50 for 12 months, list price 414,81$. Then Upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2, patch the system and upgrade to 1.3.

  • Problem with implementing license in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2

    Goodday,
    For Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 I downloaded an license from the license portal.
    This concerns a eval/demo license, for an demo of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2.
    When selecting the the type of license you get a few options, from which I selected the basic, advanced and lifecycle evaluation licenses. This is the type of license that is required for our demo.
    After completing the wizard I can download en implement the license.
    Until this point everything goes as it supposed to be.
    When i go to the Prime Infrastructure 2.2 appliance (running on VMWare ESXi 5.5.0).
    When I go to the license section in Cisco Prime Infrastructure I can implement the license, however if I implement the .lic file I get the error “Unknown feature (PI_VM)”.
    I have done implementing license files before, but this is the first time i encounterd this problem.
    Who can help me with this error?
    Regards,
    Dennie Verhoeven

    Hi Dennie,
    PI2X-BASE-LF-AS-US-VM-N-EVAL-90   >> I think you have used this product name while generating the license
    Either you try generating a new license or  contact cisco license team to generate a new license
    with the information  like below ::
    Product Name                : R-PI2X-K9
        Product Description         : R-PI2X-K9:R-PI2X-K9 : Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x
        Product Qty                 : 1
        UDI                        : PID: PRIME-NCS-VAPL  SN: ANY:ANY
    Serial no : with ANY:ANY will work as  starting from PI 2.2 , there is no node locking with license.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Express, licensing

    Are there any funcionatility limitation between each edition of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure other than supported number of devices?
    Does it support turning APs on and off on a predefined scheduled?
    I read in the manual "Cisco Prime Infrastructure Classic View Configuration Guide for Wireless Devices" that it is possible to Managing WLAN Status Schedules.  Does it require the assurance license feature set or will lifecycle license will be sufficient?

    I believe you could create a scheduled Lightweight AP Configuration Template job and have it simply turn off the radios on the selected APs. Make it recurring (every night at a certain time) and add a complementary recurring job to turn the radios back on at the desired time.
    See the following screeenshot from PI 2.0 (click to enlarge):

  • When is Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 released, and what does 2.0 offer?

                       We are running Prime Infrastructure 1.3 primarily for wireless management at this point.  We have enough licenses to add all our switches, routers, and firewalls, but we're hesitant to do so until 2.0 comes out.  While there are some features for backing up and configuring switches and routers, 1.3 still seems pretty limited in regards to non-wireless features.  For example, nearly every report in 1.3 is for wireless controllers or AP's, there are no reports I've found relevent for switches and routers.  I've read a lot of blogs, cisco posts, and white papers talking about how Cisco Prime Infrastrucure 2.0 will finally consolidate Prime into a truly all-in-one network management suite that can manage the entire Cisco environment.  Does anyone know when it's officially being released?  Does anyone have an tech sheets on what's new in 2.0, or what its capabilities are?  I want to better understand what 2.0 has to offer, when it's coming out, how to upgrade, so I can start planning for the upgrade and eventually importing all our network devices to Cisco Prime for centralized management.  Any useful information or links would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Christian

    PI 2.0 is in Beta mode for testing in closed group already. However it may still take some time to get released on CCO for FCS.
    I think it is expected to be released between aug-sep. BU has also started working on CPI 2.1, which you can see test uploads on CCO.
    For what does it have for customers?
    > As Cisco have a vision of one network Management software for both wired and wireless infrastructure, which started getting real partially with Cisco PI.
    As WCS got evolved to NCS and eventually to Cisco Prime Infrastructure, but it doesnt yet have full Management capability for wired infra., which is there with LMS.
    With CPI 2.x Cisco plans to blend entire LMS and WCS features together.
    -Thanks

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 on Windows Server/Hyper-V

    Hi Everyone,
    In Entriprise environment while designing a BYOD solution we need to integrate ISE3315 with CPI 1.2. I know that Cisco ISE software either runs on 3315 platform or other option is virtual appliance (which is VMware based). Now problem is that we have Hyper-V environment as standard so I need to go with ISE-3315. Here my concern is to I install CPI 1.2 on Hyper-V, or on a Windows Server (2008 or 2012) based machine. Is that doable?
    Any help, suggessions would be warmly welcomed.
    Thanks,
    Azhar...

    Cisco Prime LMS will slowly be phased out in favor of Cisco Prime Infrastructure and hence there are no new mainline releases are planned to provide support to new Hardware or virtualization support.
    However, Prime LMS do support Hyper V Virtualization (As an installable in Windows 2008). Please note that Virtualization technologies like, VMWare and Hyper V virtualization systems are not supported in LMS 5000, and LMS 10000 Devices license, in Windows. VMWare Systems are supported in LMS 5000, and LMS 10000 Devices license in Soft Appliance. Virtualization technologies like, VMWare and Hyper V virtualization systems are not supported in LMS 5000, and LMS 10000 Devices license, in Windows. VMWare Systems are supported in LMS 5000, and LMS 10000 Devices license in Soft Appliance.

  • Ciscoworks LMS 3.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2

    In order to complete the upgrade the LMS 3.x runs over a physical server that ends with the upgrade(server its gona be retired), the think is that the Cisco Prime comes with an UCS and its gona run over a VM. The question here is the "Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1 - Maj Upg from LMS 2.x/3.x" media could be runs as clean install, I mean with no LMS 3.x intalled  before? an the "Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 - 1.5K Device Maj Upg Lic" could be registered with no license installed of LMS 3.x?

    There are a couple of things to distinguish:
    1. The product SKU you need to order to migrate from LMS 3 to LMS 4.2.
    2. The license file that is installed on that new LMS server.
    #1 is based on Cisco agreeing, usually through the partner or reseller you are working with, that you are entitled to order the upgrade SKU (vs. buy a complete new product). The upgrade SKUs are all listed in the ordering guide here.
    L-PI12-1.5K-UP (note - NOT the 1.1 product description you noted in the original post) would be the SKU for a major upgrade from LMS 2.x/3.x to the current Prime Infrastructure 1.2 release at the 1500 device license level. That upgrade includes licenses for both PI 1.2 and Prime LMS 4.2. You may choose which to install - most LMS customers stick with LMS for now as PI 1.2 does not yet have full feature parity. Your managed devices should not exceed 1500 combined (in this case) but that combined number is not enforced technically by the product's license daemon.
    Once you have purchased the product and have the media you can install it on any host that meets the installation prerequisites as far as OS, memory, disk etc. A clean installation of LMS does not check for or require a previous installation as far as technical checks.
    #2 - Once you have installed the new LMS server (and optionally a step near the end of installation, you need to add in the license file (*.lic file). That is obtained through the Cisco licensing portal (or via the TAC if you prefer) using the Product Activation Key (PAK) received with your product.

  • Prime LMS 4.2 to Prime Infrastructure 2.0 license migration

    A couple of months ago I upgraded WCS to Prime Infrastructure (WCS via NCS to PI 1.2 at that time). Meanwhile PI is running version 2.0. For some reason, when purchasing the upgrade licenses, I also got a 500 device LMS4.2 upgrade license.
    The exact part numbers were:
    R-W-PI12-M-K9 WCS 7.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Migration
    R-PI12-BASE-K9 Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Base License and Software
    L-PI12-LF-500-LIC Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Lifecycle - 500 Device Lic PAK
    L-PILMS42-500-M Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 - 500 Device Upgrade Lic
    I have a virtual LMS appliance running where I installed the 500 device license I mentioned. I've actually never used LMS but that's a different story...
    As I'm running low on PI device licenses (lifecycle licenses to be precise), the question is:
    Is there an officially supported scenario to migrate these 500 LMS 4.2 licenses (that are already the result of a license upgrade) to PI 2.0?
    If so: what part numbers do I need to purchase? I suppose I need
    R-L-PI2X-U-K9 LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x Upgrade
    plus
    (L-L-PI2X-500-U LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x Lifecycle Upgrade 500 Device)
    XOR
    (L-L-PI2X-500-UP LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x Lifecycle Upgrade with PASS 500 Device)
    Maybe someone can comment on that... thanks in advance.

    In case anyone is facing the same issue:
    Meanwhile, I finished the upgrade process using the following part numbers:

    You can check the below steps to diagnose the issue::
     To verify that NetFlow is exported from a device to PI, follow the steps below:
    1)    Browse to Administration > Data Sources page. Check the value in column ‘Last Active Time’  for the ‘Device Data Sources’ table. If the table is empty or  the value does not represent recent time, then
    it is possible that the device is not exporting NetFlow or PI Assurance license is not applied / expired.
    2)    Login to PI console ( via SSH) as root user and run the command:
                    netstat –an | grep 9991 – Output of this should be like :  udp        0      0 :::9991         :::*
                    Check the firewall settings on PI server using the command: firewall -L
    1)    Check the configuration on an IOS / IOS –XE device. Run the commands
    a)    sh running-config | inc destination
    1)    This should list the IP address of the PI SERVER ( along with other outputs if any)
    b)    sh running-config | inc 9991
    1)    This should list at least one entry.
    c)    If the above are fine, then verify that the flow monitor, flow exporter and the flow records are correctly configured on the device.
    Refer to the URLs below to configure NetFlow export.

  • WCS and LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 Upgrade

    Hello,
    Our customer is currently having WCS for 500 devices and LMS 3.2 for 1500 devices. We are planning to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3.
    I want to check is the upgrade procedure that we have planned is ok or we have missed something.
    Phase 1: WCS to CPI 1.3 upgrade
    1. Check that WCS is at 7.0.230.0  version
    2. Export WCS database
    3. Install NCS 1.1.1.24 software
    4. Contact cisco to obtain trial license for NCS software (L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9 license).
    5. Migrate WCS license and import it in NCS software
    6. Migrate WCS data to NCS software using ncs migrate command
    7. Patch NCS software
    8. Inline upgrade to CPI 1.3 software
    9. Install proper licenses on CPI 1.3 (WCS and LMS device count)
    My concern in this first phase is should I use NCS large image since our Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 software should manage 2000 devices at the end.
    Or is it better not to perform inline upgrade and insted go with exporting data from NCS and then importing them to CPI 1.3 that is going to be installed separately?
    Phase 2: LMS 3.2 to CPI upgrade
    1. Export LMS 3.2 database
    2. Install LMS 4.2 software
    3. Install license to LMS 4.2
    4. Restore data from LMS 3.2 to LMS 4.2
    5. Direct upgrade from LMS 4.2 to 4.2.2
    6. Export the device list with credentials from LMS 4.2.2  and import it as a Bulk Import in CPI 1.3
    At the end we will have CPI 1.3 and LMS 4.2.2 software running.
    Is it possible to directly upgrade from LMS 4.2 to LMS 4.2.4 and then import data to CPI 1.3 or we need to go with 4.2.2 version?

    Jelena

    Are this errors going to affect our LMS 4.2 operations?
    Then we have upgraded to LMS 4.2.2 and exported data and credentiales for PI import.
    On PI 1.3 we have installed WCS 500 devices upgrade license and LMS 1500 upgrade license and now we are having 2000 devices lifecycle license. We have successfully restored WCS data in PI and we have imported LMS devices as bulk import. What is strange is that we have this message in prime regarding licensing:
    On LMS 3.2 our customer had saved unlimited number of configuration versioning. After upgrading to LMS 4.2 we can only see last 3 configurations regardless of unlimided number of configurations in previous LMS, so my question is where can we find older configurations in LMS 4.2?
    We are planning to turn unlimited versioning on CPI 1.3 now, so our customer will again have feature that they need. Do you have some experiance regarding disk space when all device configurations are stored forever?
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards,
    Jelena
