Cisco Prime Infrastructure MESH LINK ISSUE

Hi,
a Customer of us has a trouble with cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2.0.12 and AP mesh link.
There is an huge database ( i suppose the issue can be here ) and when we display some map ( each floor has about 6 RAP and 24 MAP ) we cannot see the MESH information and link draw.
The only way to dipley them is to disable "refresh from network": this way I'm able to show these link..... until a click before.
What i noticied when all was working fine, after i click to some floor:
1) the software started to show the map with normal color and no mesh info displayed ( just ap and coverage cloud )
2) after few time ( less than 1 second ) the map was becoming a little bit lighter and the mesh info was merged to the map
We are missini the second step
Anyone had the same issue ?
best regards
Luigi
PS: I opened a case with WCS version 6.0 ( same issue ) but, after some months, no risult. The last version working fine was WCS 5.2

Just to add some more informations:
- disabling "refreshj from network" ( building properties ) the link and mesh info are showed
- while I'm on a floor, after some refresh, i loose the mesh link draw and, if i click on an AP, i loose also mesh info in the popup. It' s like, after some refresh, the AP are no more recognized as Mesh ( !?!? )
regards
Luigi

Cisco prime infrastructure 1.1 issue

hi：
i purchase a R-PI-1.1-K9 with R-PI-1.1-100-K9,but now i find the cisco website can't download Prime infrastructure 1.1 anywhare,only 1.2 and above version exist.but the device base licences(R-PI-1.1-100-K9) is based RI version 1.1.how do we resolve this issue.somebody tell me that R-PI-1.1-100-K9 can use in prime infrastructure 1.2 ,anyone can help me and tell me how to use it and give me the step by step guide,thanks very well.
jerry

A 1.1 license file should work with PI 1.2. See the note at the bottom of Table 3 here.
Hopefully your product was ordered with Software ApplicationSupport with Upgrade (SASU) option. That will further entitle you to upgrade to PI 1.3 and, soon, to PI 2.0. Each release ins incrementally more functional and many bug fixes are incorporated.

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.

Well the issue what we have now is that access point has been added but its not recognized by the NCS prime. I have tried all three versions of SNMP but I get the same result. The SNMP configuration is valid since I use the same for my switching infrastructure. When I enter "debug snmp packets" and "terminal monitor" I can see the SNMP communication between Prime and Aironet 1250 which is standalone.
When I switch to Lifecycle theme and go to Operate > Device Monitor Center I see all devices I have added. The Aironet 1250 is reachable but under collection status I get Managed with Warnings. When I hover over with my mouse I get "None available".
I have successfully added my switching infrastructure in total, which is operating perfectly for Catalyst 2960/3650/3750/4500 series but for 6500 under VSS I have some warnings. The device is recognized by the system which is excellent and all is operational. I get the following errors under Collection Status:
feature_sensor
SNMP request timed out
feature_powerSupplyFanStatus-6k
SNMP request timed out
IdentityCapability
The device is unreachable.
feature_flashdevice
SNMP request timed out
sam_ipsla_feature
The device is unreachable.
What can be done to resolve these issues ? I have attached a screenshot of this particular issue. The affected access point is 172.16.165.241.

Hi rajeeshp,
Currently I am not allowed to upgrade it because of internal procedures involved in upgrading a specific piece of software (obtaining permissions from various departments). Is it free to upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 or there is a specific charge for that.

Cisco Prime infrastructure Change severity Switches and hubs - link down alarm

Hi, I want to change the severity of the link down alarm in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3, but in the menu Administration -> System Settings -> Severity Configuration i can not find the alarm. Some body knows where is it? o where i can change the severity of that alarm?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Rollin and Daniel,
the first test i did changing the severity was with a new installation, with no devices added and it worked, when i did it in a Prime infrastructure with devices added it didn´t work, well, for this Prime with devices i upgraded it with the patch for 1.3 version and now it works too, the alarms is ok as the alarm severity, this is the link for the patch:
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284652876&flowid=38562&softwareid=284272933&release=1.3.0&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=all
i hope this helps,

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.

Cisco Prime infrastructure 1.2.1.012 -- HA issue

Hi All
I will explain the background before, our customer using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2.1.012 and do HA. However I got error message wcss1 (in attaced file) from HA configuration. (First I had done HA configuration before and it worked. But I get error message wcss1 after i tested failover on cisco prime). I found bug case CSCud12229 that is same error message. But i still confuse with work around "Workaround:Change the database mode to Read-Write by executing query ?alter database open? or execute the shell script - /opt/CSCOlumos/bin/recover_HADeadLock.sh" anyone understand please help.
And another option I tried to upgrade with version 1.3 also but it have a bug no CSCud80157. It is the problem with HA registration fial so, i would like to ask you all that if i need to do HA on Cisco Prime infrastructure which version i should to install ? coz I saw 1.2 or 1.3 also have a bug with HA
Thanks

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Remote FTPrepository Sizing Guide

Can anyone provide a link to a sizing guide for remote FTP repository for backing up Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 to a remote FTP server?

A personal observation; In PI 1.1, with the small ova we were running around 300 AP's and I had noticable slowness and issues. At that time, TAC mentioned that I should go with the medium as it was a known problem Now, despite being on 1.2 and alot of the issues resolved (and now new ones), if faced with the need to start over and I could spare the hardware, I would still go with the medium. My personal opinion is that Cisco VM's require way to much. On the other hand, knowing that it's relying on a built in Oracle DB, which from my experience with virtual servers, databases in VM = bad, it's understandable. Not everyone agrees with this point from vm gurus to db geniuses, and I'm not a professional vm guy, just play one on tv, but personally i shove as much hardware as I can afford from my host at it if it's a db in a vm. This comes from being in an enterprise with multiple oracle db's in multiple vm environments. My 2cents.

Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 makes every 15 minutes cpu high on cisco 800 routers

I have an issue with cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 and cisco 880 routers, every 15 minutes the cpu goes to 100% on those routers, but I cannot find the job on the prime which is causing this, if I look in the job dashboard I have some jobs like sam_poller_22_15_getvpnpoller_27977292 that runs every 15 minutes (other jobs that I see CDBPoller_dmvpnPoller and CDBPoller_getvpnpoller) , probably is it on of these jobs, but how can I stop it (job type : poller job, owner =system) and what are they doing?
thanks for any assistance

This is what i expected. I know many platform like 29xx/39xx or ISR's has known issues with Cisco Prime Infrastructure when it polls CISCO-LICENSE-MGMT-MIB, devices go high on CPU.
You have to block clmgmtLicenseInfoEntry by creating a view on your 800 router by configuring snmp view.
Following is the command/example:
Step 1: Configure SNMP View:
snmp-server view iso included
snmp-server view clmgmtLicenseInfoEntry excluded
Link community string to SNMP View:
snmp-server community view ro|rw
Example per your configuration:
snmp-server view PrimeInfra iso included
snmp-server view PrimeInfra clmgmtLicenseInfoEntry excluded
snmp-server community ArgSnmp view PrimeInfra RO ACLSNMP_RO
OR you can try following on your Cisco PI:
Manually update file below,
Open the /opt/CSCOlumos/conf/sam/template.xml, modify the template id=20 (licensePoller)
Update tag for value 600 to 86400 for all attrributes () of
template id =20
Old: 600
New: 86400
Some known bugs on such issues are :
CSCug97914 and CSCuc72024
Please check and let me know the updates.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 not showing alerts from switch

Hello,
I have a prime infrastructure 2.0 running at a customer place and the customer now complains that he is not receiving link up/down messages from the switch. When i checked I have seen that if I shut down a port in the switch the prime identifies after a long time, but its not generating an alarm still. How can I fine tune the prime to fix this issue. Please help on this.
Thanks in advance

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?

Cisco Prime Infrastructure and VLAN fetch

I have about a dozen systems which are showing up under the Archive Failed Devices section of Device Work Center -> Configuration Archives. The reason is Fetch VLAN configuration - Command failed. All of the affected devices have something in common in that they are all managed by hitting a publicly routable IP address outside of the network on which the NCS server lives (NCS IP is 172.19.40.51). To the devices, NCS looks like it is coming from an publicly routable IP address (because it is NAT'd by the firewall). I suspected that the issue was that NCS was trying to TFTP the VLAN.dat file to the NCS server but that it was trying to send it to 172.19.40.51 instead of the NAT address. I turned on debugs on one of the affected devices and sure enough I see that the device is trying to TFTP something to 172.19.40.51. Of course that will never work. I can find no way within the Admin UI of Cisco Prime to change this behavior such that NCS will try to collect the VLAN.dat file in some other way or use the NAT'd IP address for the copy attempt.
Is there a way to get it to use something other than TFTP? Is there some way to turn this off entirely so that it doesn't show up in the Archive Failed Devices section? Prime seems to be able to parse the VLANs by way of the configuration file (since we use transparent mode throughout) so it seems like an extra step I don't need.

Marvin,
This is where everything goes off the rails for me when it comes to understanding Prime Infrastruction, Prime LMS and everything that you're talking about. Refer to this link: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/cloud-systems-management/prime-lan-management-solution/data_sheet_c78-697479.html
How should I interpret this?:
"Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1 bundles campus switch, branch, core routing, and wireless LAN management into a single, easy-to-order solution that enables businesses and enterprises unparalleled operational efficiencies and investment protection. The bundle consists of:
● Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution, which delivers simplified management of Cisco® Borderless Networks and reduces operations costs by aligning network management functionality the way network operators do their jobs
● Cisco Prime Network Control System, which provides complete wireless LAN management with converged user and access management, and integrated lifecycle management of branch routers
For more information about Cisco Prime Infrastructure, please visit http://www.cisco.com/go/primeinfrastructure."
Am I wrong to assume that the first bullet point, which states "Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution" is referring to Prime LMS 4.2?
Thanks,
Steven

What are the features supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure for WLAN for autonomous AP's?

What are the features supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure for WLAN for autonomous AP’s?

• PI provides visibility for autonomous clients within the same list view as lightweight and wired clients (client list page).
• Rogue AP detection for autonomous AP's is not supported (it's supported in CUWN).
• Alarms/events for client authentication issues (e.g. authentication failure) are displayed in PI.
• Config management for autonomous AP's is via CLI template. Config comparison and archiving functionality in PI leverages these same features that were brought in from LMS, so need to defer to others in terms of whether this is a cross-platform feature in PI or is only supported on a subset of platforms. Config comparison/archive is supported in CUWN.PI supports both infrastructure (e.g. AP Tx Power and Channel, busiest AP, AP utilization, etc.) and client (e.g. client count, client sessions, etc.) reports, and there are extensive reports for CUWN

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 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!

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 and Cisco ASA

Hello,
We've recently installed trial version of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Express. We hoped that it already supports Cisco ASA 55xx series (especially 5505, we have pretty amount of them). But we had some problems with PI and asa durind the exploitation process.
First, I've added ASA to PI, and Inventory Collection Status is Completed, but I can't see CPU and RAM utilization graphs. Inventory.logs are non-informative.
Also, config backup is success, but when I try to watch the backuped configuration at Configuration Archive PI says "Failed to fetch raw configuration". And so on.
ASA version is 5505, image is 9.1(2).
So, I have a question: is it possible to manage ASAs with PI 2.0?
UPD: I've just tried to upgrade asa to 9.1(4), and behavior of the equipment is quite the same. Seems we shall wait for 9.2 to be released.

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.
