Cisco Prime Infrastructure v2.1 - Delete device fails

Hi.
I'm trying out PI, but I have come across an error.
I'm trying to delete a device (a WLC 5508), but I keep getting this error every time I try:
Delete Device(s) Failed: 172.29.254.6. Please see log for more information.
But there are about 200 log files in Prime, so does anyone know where I should be looking?
I had 2 similar controllers in Prime, the first one got deleted without problems. Strange.
Thanks.

Thank you, that helped.
I found what I needed in ifm_intentory.log
It seems there was a problem deleting the AP's associated with the WLC.
So I deleted the WLC only first, and the AP's next, and now it's gone.
One strange thing though: The WLC could be seen correctly under the Virtual Domain I added it in, but the AP's could only be see in the root Virtual Domain.
I will try to re-add it now, to see if they all end up in the right place this time.
Thank you for your help.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Express OVA failing to boot up

Hi all, i'm wondering if you can help me, i'm trying to deploy Cisco Prime Infrastructure in a lab envrionment but it's not working correctly.
I've deployed "PI-VA-2.1.0.0.87-Express.ova" to a VMware ESXI 5.1U2 hypervisor with 2x AMD 8128HE CPUs, 96GB RAM, ASUS KGPE-D16 motherboard. The installation works fine, I can answer all the questions and enter the IP address. Once the system reboots, it hangs at the following screen:
"Kernel direct mapping tables up to 340000000 @ 10000-1c000" is the last thing I see
Interestingly at this point I can actually ping the VM... I cant connect to the managemnet console on HTTPS though :(
I did find some related info on a blog https://deekayen.net/kernel-alive-lock which mentions booting with "noapic", however when I try to press "P" on the grub boot loader it prompts me to enter a password which I dont know! My normal admin passwords arent working.
Any help to ge tthis running would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Ben

The server takes about 30 mins to boot up, it's not actually broken it's just extremely slow .. I have found numerous people reporting this issue online, and our production system also does this! I guess my original problem is solved, although I would prefer this issue not to exist!

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1: SNMP Connectivity Failed

Hi,
I have discharged all my Cisco devices within Cisco Prime and after a few days and when everything worked correctly one of the switches is displayed with the SNMP error Connectivity Failed, nothing has been changed.
I deleted and i have returned to create the object but it continues to be the same, I've also tried to create another SNMP community still receiving the same error.
This is the configuration of snmp in the switch WS-C3850-48P with version 03.02.02.SE
snmp-server community "community" RW
snmp-server location "location"
snmp-server contact "contact"
snmp-server host 10.180.5.22 version 2c "community"
Best regards.

Hi ,
check if you are getting these errors in "show log" again:
%SNMP-3-INPUT_QFULL_ERR: Packet dropped due to input queue full
If yes , then either a lot of SNMP polling happening on the device
or
CPU utilization is going high sometime , being SNMP as a least priority process , you will see this issue. check for "show proc cpu history"
It is a device side issue definitely.
I would suggest to apply a Access-list on the SNMP community string allowing only the
valid NMS to poll the device
Thanks-
Afroz

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.

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.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure - I can't see the hardware virtual image when I selected a device managed by Prime Infrastructure. See attached picture

My Cisco Prime Infrastructure ver. 1.2.1.12
Cisco Prime Infrastructure - I can't see the hardware virtual image when I selected a device managed by Prime Infrastructure. See attached picture.
Please let me know how to access or enable the feature.
Thanks,

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.

Pushing Configs to devices using Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Hi All,
I am trying to push a simple configuration to WLC using Prime Infrastructure. But it is failing as PI doesnot have RW SNMP access.
My question is that can I use PI to push configs without using SNMP. Like do it using ftp or something.
Also do the Wired Devices also need SNMP RW access on PI's part.
All your help is appreciated.
Mukul

You need SNMP RW.
If you use CLI template you need ssh/telnet credentials though.

Device Reachable but Unmanaged in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3

Hi,
I am running the Eval version of cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3
I tried running discovery for WLC and it worked fine where all the controllers were discovered.
But when i try to discover a Switch, the reachability tab says Reachable but in Collection Status tab it shows Unmanaged.
When i click on the Unmanaged tab it says " Pre-collection check failed because: "
I have configured the SNMP correctly.
Does anyone know why is this happening.
All the help is greatly appreciated.

Had the same issue and noticed that the licence count for 100 devices (Eval Limit) was consumed as soon as we added the WLC
On your page https:///webacs/welcomeAction.do#pageId=LicenseCenter_pageId look at how many are taken and if it is in violation.
We added our 500 pak upgraded, and it still didn't fix the issue when re-syncing. We had to remove the device and re-add.
This is now resolved for us.

Getting past "Fetch VLAN configuration - Command failed" errors in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 - How?

I've got a handful of devices in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 which show up in the "Archive Failed Devices" view. The "Failure Reason" is some variation of "Fetch VLAN configuration - Command failed" sometimes including "TELNET: Failed to establish TELNET connection to x.x.x.x". What does this mean? How do I overcome this? In all cases, the device is configured to use SSH and has valid SSH credentials. In all cases, I can SSH from the command line of the NCS appliance to the devices listed in the "Archive Failed Devices" view.

Hi
I was able to fix the "Fetch VLAN configuration - Command failed" by allowing tftp from the device to PI server in firewall. See if this can help.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure - not updating device details

We run Cisco prime Infrastructure and I have found an interesting problem that I can't see an easy way round.
If I have say a Cisco 2950 switch on my network, managed by Prime and I upgrade it to a 3560 - I then ask Prime to re-sync the device details.
This works - you can see the updated configuration files etc but the device ID stays the same - Prime still thinks it is a 3560, which it was when the device was originally added.
Is there a way, short of deleting the device and adding it again (losing the config archive) of getting prime to update it's details to reflect the hardware change?
It came to light as it screwed up a network hardware audit I was doing - this is all showing up on Prime as the old 2050's which I have replaced with 3560's.
There must be an easier way that just deleting the device and re-adding it?

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.

Cisco nexus 6001 not a supported device on cisco prime infrastructure 2.1?

I have installed Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 and Prime Infrastructure still doesn't seem to support the Nexus 6001 platform? Can someone tell me if Cisco Prime Infrastructure will ever support the Cisco Nexus 6001 platform or is there any plans to support it in any future device packs?

The Nexus 6001 isn't currently supported in PI 2.1. There's no workaround except to wait for a device or product update that adds support. Right now I know the 9000 series is on the 2.2 roadmap but I haven't seen any reference to the 6001 and PI.
Interestingly, Prime LMS does support both the 6001 and 6004. Reference.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 -- Third Party Devices

Hello,
we are using cisco prime infrastructure 2.0. Is it possible to manage third party devices? (We have a lot of Enterasys Switches)
When i want to Archive the config of the device there is an error --> No Device Package found for the specific device.
It is necessary to install device packages for third party devices? Where can i find and install these packages?
Thx in advance

it seems not to be on the road-map according to the functional /feature comparison between LMS and PI 2.0:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps6504/ps6528/ps12239/guide_c07-729089.html
...and I doubt it will come (quickly) because config management has a lot of pitfalls and Cisco has a lot to do to get around all of them with their own devices..
However, Inventory Management for third party devices is on the road-map
older version of the document (feature comparison PI 1.2 - LMS 4.2) can be found here:

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 import image via WAN link failed.

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.

Download devices syslogs of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2

Hello,
I'm working with Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2, wish I could download to my PC syslog captured by PI.

Hi ,
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 .

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.
