Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 NMS service keeps stopping

Has anyone else run into this issues? It was an upgrade from NCS 1.1, but the patch for 1.1 was installed before the upgrade.

Hi Shannon:
There are a number of reasons the NMS service could be stopping. Your best bet would be to get a TAC Service Request open to narrow it down.

But I still face the same problem for the next day.
Please help us to resolved the problem.
Thanks and Regrads.

You have the necessary CPU, memory and hard drive specifications for an Express size installation (Reference).
To install Prime Infrastructure 2.0 you will need to first install VMware ESX/ESXi. This is documented in the same Getting Started Guide I linked to above at this link.
Once you get that far along, just follow the setup wizard and installation is pretty simple.
FYI you will get better attention to Prime questions over in the Network Management forum.

NetFlow export is also supported on other Cisco switches when using a NetFlow Feature Card (NFFC) or NFFC II and the Route Switch Module (RSM), or Route Switch Feature Card (RSFC). However, check whether version 5 is supported, as most switches export version 7 by default.
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.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 and IPAM Solution

Hello everyone,
I'm student in a big company and my manager gave me a mission to study an IPAM solution.
In 3 month, we will use Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0
I turn to you cause I saw on this doc (link below) that CP Infrastructure 2.0 includes an IPAM Solution.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps6491/ps11433/ps11480/ps11609/c45_658846_02_prime_aag.pdf
This IPAM Solution, is it just a repository to manage IP Adresse and DNS ?
Is it possible to write on DNS bind with IPAM of CP Infrastructure 2.0 ?
Thank you for your attention,
Cordially Vincent Malique

Pas de problème Vincent.
The Network Registrar product is usually seen only in very large enterprises or service providers as it is designed to sale up to serving hundreds of thousands of addresses.
In smaller organizations looking to move beyond the spreadsheet method of keeping track of subnets, I have seen people have success with IPPlan (open source). Those wishing more functions and a supported product often go with SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM) product.

Can't import images in cisco prime infrastructure 1.2

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 infrastructure not detect IP address of clients

hi all,
I have Cisco Prime infrastructure 1.2 and when move to monitor >> clients tab it lists me all the clients in my network but their IP address list estates "not detected" ?
please any advice?
I appreciate your kindly support.

Just an update that while this appears to have worked fairly well (as far as Cisco Management Planes go), there was one small 'gotcha' I've noticed so far:
After the services came back up, the entries for our RADIUS servers did not function. No, not because I didn't update the clients address record on the RADIUS server itself, but because the RADIUS server record(s) within CPI have a field called 'Local Interface IP' that still reflects the previous IP assigned to CPI. A quick edit/save with the new interface fixes up the issue however.
Cheers!

Hi Jeremy,
SNMP traps are shown in the events and alerts section of PI.
SNMP config looks fine. Can you run the SNMP debug (debug snmp packets ) .check the logs and see if the device is actually sending the TRAPS to the PI server.
Thanks-

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 Web Log Invalid user password

Hi,
I recently installed Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 per the set up guide. I was able to login into the webinterface.
Then I insert the radius server and reload ncs. Since then I'm not able to login to the web interface. I get the following error message "Invalid Username or Password. Please try again". Even when I set the ncs root user with a new password. One issue could be that i forgot the enable fallback to local.
Is there a way to change the radius config back via cli?
Thanks a lot
Hansruedi

Hi Hansruedi,
Thanks you for your help and your time.
I followed your recomandation until the fourth step.
But after this step, I lost the web page connection.
I check nsc status but all is running :
NMS still stopped. NMS must be running to have an access by web page ?
I restart Prime (by reload command) but nothing changed.
Thanks

Cisco Prime Infrastructure patch 2.1.1 - HA issue

Hello,
I have a problem with the Cisco Prime Infrastructure patched to version 2.1.1. I did exactly what Installation Guidelines say:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-1-1/release/notes/cpi_rn.html
– Install the Prime Infrastructure 2.1.1 patch by using the Administration > Software Updates page on the primary server.
– Restart the primary server.
– Verify that the patch installation is complete. If you find the installation complete, decommission and reinstall the secondary server and add it back to the primary server.
I reinstalled HA server and I'm trying to add it to HA but I get "Failed to authenticate - Primary(xx.xx.xx.xx) and Secondary(xx.xx.xx.xy) PI version does not match"
Can you help me with that? What I'm doing wrong? or maybe this patch is not prepared to work in HA mode?
Regards

Symptom:
The installation instructions of PI 2.1.1 patch in a High Availability environment are not accurate and following these steps will result in the inability to re-pair the Primary and Secondary servers.
Conditions:
If the instructions are followed, then when the user attempts to re-pair the servers, an error will be encountered:
"High Availability Registration Failed - Failed to authenticate - Primary (x.x.x.1) and Secondary (x.x.x.2) PI version does not match".
Instead, the following steps have proved to work correctly:
1. Upload and install patch on primary.
2. Upload and install patch on secondary.
3. Stop NCS services on secondary
4. Stop NCS services on primary
5. Start services on secondary
6. Start services on primary
7. Re-pair HA servers from primary
Workaround:
Workaround 1:
On the secondary, go under root and issue:
# cd /opt/CSCOlumos/bin/
# ./hamode.sh primary
Answer 'yes' when prompted.
Go to admin user and execute
# ncs stop
After the services are stopped:
# ncs start
When the services are back up, login to the secondary GUI as you would login to a primary server
Go under Administration > Software update, upload the patch and install it.
Go to admin user and execute
# ncs stop
After the services are stopped:
# ncs start
When the services are up, go under root and issue:
# cd /opt/CSCOlumos/bin/
# ./hamode.sh secondary
Answer 'yes' when prompted.
Go to admin user and execute
# ncs stop
After the services are stopped:
# ncs start
After the message that services started successfully on the secondary, initiate a new High Availability configuration from the primary. Now the synchronization between the two servers should succeed.
Workaround 2:
Redeploy or reinstall the Primary server, restore the backup which was taken prior to applying the patch, reconfigure the High Availability and continue with the steps described in the Conditions section.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 - SNMPv3 can´t get CPU, memory info.

Hi,
I have a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 deployment with Catalyst 2960S switches. Switches are running IOS 15.0(2) SE2. All switches have SNMPv2 configured, and all appears to be fine. I'm migrating one switch to SNMPv3, and PI have reachability to the switch, but PI doesn´t receive traps from the switch, and neither poll CPU and memory information (all displays 0.00%).
Somebody have a sample configuration of SNMPv3 with Cisco Prime (Infrastructure or LMS)? I cannot find a Cisco official (or unofficial) document related to this version, usually all mention SNMPv2.
Thank you.
Eduardo

Hi Eduardo:
SNMPv3 is indeed supported for general administration. There's a bug with SWIM using SNMPv3 (CSCud92758), but you should be fine for just monitoring. Have you deleted the switch, waited until Prime Infrastructure told you it was gone, then readded it as SNMPv3 natively? Bug CSCug78869 keeps things from working well when changing SNMP versions.
If you don't have the new Update-1 patch for Prime Infrastructure 1.3.0.20 installed (filename PI_1.3.0.20_Update_1-12.tar.gz) installed, I'd suggest you get it. While it's not going to specifically address this issue, there are a lot of really good fixes in it.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Alarms (switch port down)

We have a cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 managing switches, routers and AP.
By default, when a port of a switch goes down, the cisco Prime Infrastructre generates a Critical Alarm for that. (this is a problem, because every phone of laptop disconnection will generate a critical alarm for me)
I found out that if we go to Administration --> Alarm Severity --> Link down, I can change the Alarm from Critical to another type of alarm.(ex: warning)
The problem is that I want to keep the Critical Alarm for my Uplinks ports and for some important switch ports, and I would like to make the alarm as warning for the normal user ports.
I know that I can create Port Groupping and add ports to each group and apply monitoring templates on those groups. But This couldn't Help me solving my alarm problem.
So I just need to know how to manage the alarms severity for each group of ports.
Thank you

Hi,
Same problem here.
I am using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (evaluation version for 60 days). I want to deploy port monitoring for my trunk ports between switches and some other important ports e.g. servers. Basically I want to get alarms when these ports are down, there are errors on ports and etc.
So in Design>Port Grouping I created User Defined group with important ports. In Deploy>Monitoring Deployment I selected Interface Health (default)>Deploy selected Port Groups and when selected port group I created.
Now the rule shows Deployed: Yes and Status: Active. After that I just pulled out one port which was in monitored group, waited 5min as it is set in Interface Health (default) template, and nothing happened, and worse, alarms started to show up of other ports where regular users are connected (computers was turned off), which I do not want to see at all. I tried redeploy template, I even created my own template but still no desired result.
Any suggestions how to make port monitoring work?

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?

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

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.
Have fun,
Chris
