Cisco Prime LMS device unreachable dont know why

Hi
Currently running Cisco Prime LMS v4.2
I am trying to get some Nexus 7K Switches to work and become reachable.
They are running kickstart: version 6.2(2)
system: version 6.2(2)
Now as far as I can see i have 2 identical switches but one is unreachable and the other is reachable.
When i use my snmp tester they both work with the correct V3 auth/priv passwords and the correct ssh
works on the switches.
When i go to monitor/Troubleshooting Tools/Troubleshooting Workflows
Then for the non working one i get the following fails....
Device Information Device availability x
Collector Status
Data Collection Failure
User Tracking Failure
Fault discovery Failure
On the working one The above all are a Success.
Also
Reachability Details
Both ping and traceroute work fine on both switches
For the life of me I cannot see any difference in the configuration of the two devices.
Has anyone come across this before ?
I have attached a copy of the snmp config.
Thanks
Steve

What is the server OS? Windows/Linux or Unix?
From the server to ping and poll device for SNMP and see if both device works fine?
SNMP walk is available under :
Windows : NMSROOT/objects/jt/bin
Linux/unnix/: /opt/SCOpx/objects/jt/bin
Example:
NSROOT/objects/jt/bin/snmpwalk -v2c -c public <ip_add> <OID>
Try to configure the problematic device for SNMP v2 and try to add it from there and test if it works fine.
-Thanks

Cisco Prime LMS - Device discovery

How do you configure Cisco Prime LMS Device Discovery, so that you can have two credentials sets for specific "special devices" (host based statement) and one for the of the devices (global subnet statement)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here is the link to the document containing the detailed steps regarding Credential Sets.
After defining your sets then set up Credential Set Policies.
Thanks!

Cisco Prime LMS Device Names

In Prime LMS 4.2, has anyone seen this issue/bug before?
I've added in all devices indicating their Device Names and Hostnames. However in the Monitor section and only High Severity Faults part, the Device Name is actually showing IP addresses.
In the Syslog report that sent via email, Device Name fields are showing IP addresses as well. Other sections or portlets are totally fine.
Thanks.

Hi Bin,
Check the below link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_device_fault_manager/3.2/user/guide/useDevMg.html#wp1367517
Workaround to get the HOSTNAME in DFM is :
1> Added the Device Name and IP on the DNS Server or /etc/HOSTS file
2> Modified NMSROOT/objects/smarts/conf/discovery/discovery.conf, and changed the DisplayNameFormat from "AUTOASSIGNED" to "MIBIISYSNAME".
That caused DFM to display the sysName as the display name.
Also set the NameFormat to TM_USEAUTONAME, then restarted daemon Manager (net stop crmdmgtd && net start crmdmgtd )
3> Delete and re-add a device in DFM
============
Open name-resolver.conf file and make same changes that we have made in discovery.conf. ie, the following entry should be there in this file also.
#NameFormat = "TM_USESEEDNAME"
NameFormat = "TM_USEAUTONAME"
Thanks-

Device discovery in Cisco Prime LMS 4.1

Hi,
im using CISCO PRIME LMS 4.1 for manage my network, i ran a device discovery job using a ping sweep on the ip ranges of my network, ie 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24 and so on... the discovery found all my devices, but it discovered duplicate devices with illegal ip Addresses, ie
ip                                    device
192.168.1.255               S1
192.168.2.0                    S1
192.168.2.1                    S1 (the real address)
all in reachable status.
i dont undestad why the program adds that repeated illegal addresses.. someone can help me with that issue??
how can i run the device discovery to avoid this problem?
Many Thanks.

Julio,
Don't let LMS decide on what IP address it will manage the device.
For example, let LMS do a lookup of the sysname in DNS, then it will use the IP address coming back from the DNS as management IP.
This is what I do to avoid this.
But I also feel that LMS should be bright enough to never manage the same device twice. I think Campus DFM or RME will eventually figure out the 2 devices are the same, but they can't "fix" what is wrong in the DCR.
Cheers,
Michel

When i try and open itunes a memo pops up saying "itunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected" my iphone is not plugged into my mac so i dont know why its mentioning an iphone nor why i cant open my itunes library

Each time you connect your iPhone to iTunes, you need to eject it before closing iTunes by clicking on the little "eject" icon shown in iTunes. It seems that sometime in the past, you did not do that.
I'm not sure how to undo the previously done damage, but maybe a reboot of your Mac would help.

Cisco Prime LMS MPLS monitoring

Hi all, have anyone used Cisco Prime LMS for MPLS xconnect monitoring?
Currently when these traps arrive to Cisco Prime LMS they are classified as "InformAlarm Unidentified Trap Generic".
Is it maybe possible to load the correct MIB for these traps and get Cisco Prime LMS to understand them correctly?
The raw traps looks like this:
xconnect down:
09:58:42.352760 IP (tos 0x40, ttl 245, id 12, offset 0, flags [none], proto: UDP (17), length: 114) routerhost.51591 > lmshost.snmptrap: [udp sum ok] { SNMPv1 { Trap(71) E:cisco.10.106.2 10.130.1.13 enterpriseSpecific s=1 424011509 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=2 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=2 } }
xconnect up:
09:59:48.597894 IP (tos 0x40, ttl 245, id 14, offset 0, flags [none], proto: UDP (17), length: 114) routerhost.51591 > lmshost.snmptrap: [udp sum ok] { SNMPv1 { Trap(71) E:cisco.10.106.2 10.130.1.13 enterpriseSpecific s=2 424018144 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=1 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=1 } }
I found some more info about the traps at:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseMIB.do?local=en&step=2&mibName=CISCO-IETF-PW-MIB-V1SMI
BR /Crille

Here is an update:
After discussing with TAC there seems to be 2 possible solutions in LMS right now:
1. Create a threshold that monitors the specific OID for the xconnect vc and generate alarm if it changes.
2. Configure the device to send syslog when a xconnect state changes and create an "automated syslog action".
I have not tried either of them yet so I dont know which one works best, but option 2 seems easiest (its a one time config).

SYSLOG Cisco Prime LMS

Hi friends,
I have a question about my syslog from Cisco Prime LMS 4.1, the hours from this syslog in the LMS is diferent from my switch log. I dont kown why.. I verified the hours betewen switch y the Cisco Prime is the same(the LMS is over Windows Server 2008R2) . both are the same log but in diferent hours about 5 hours.
maybe I have to configure the hours for Syslog in the Cisco Prime.
Log from Switch
Log from Cisco Prime LMS

If you have LMS, i am not sure, but if you have PI 1.2. Take a look at my post.
Basically, syslog feature doesn't work well. I could see couple of syslog through event / alarm, but syslog itself is not working properly.

Drawing network topology in Cisco Prime LMS 4.2

Hi all:
I installed the Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 and managed to discover the Cisco devices and user devices like my PC stations.
Then I tried to draw the network topology from this LMS 4.2 and I found the topology under the Configuration and Monitor tab. By clicking to these two tabs, it appears a page of something like below:
Topology Services
You can use Topology Services to:
- View detailed xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Display the physical and logical services in your network
- xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
There is no action click on this page and it looks like an explanation page and cannot do anything.
May I know how to draw the networl topology by this Cisco Prime LMS 4.2?
Hope to hear the answer from anyone know about this soon. Many thanks!
Warmest regards,
tangsuan

Hi Mantej:
Thanks to your link and I have downloaded the Prime LMS 4.2 document.
I then read and installed the JRE first in 64 bits because my Windows OS is 64bits but it still prompts out the Java installation screen. I then installed the JRE in 32 bits.
After that, it has no more Java installation screen. It then request for downloading file at the Windows top bar. I follow the request to riight click to allow the downloading. The Java running and downlaod the file.
After that, I cannot see any difference. Meaning I still cannot access anything for Toplology Services to draw my network topology diagram.
May I know what should be happen and what is the next step to do the topology drawing?
Many thanks!

tangsuan

Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 - Do access points use up a node count license?

Hi Everyone,
I wish to purchase Cisco Prime LMS 4.1, particularly Cisco part # R-LMS-4.1-500-K9 which support 500 Cisco nodes.
We have about 360 Cisco switches/routers/ASA/FWs/WLCs so the 500 nodes license would seem to suffice for now & for future growth.
We also have about 200 lightweight APs that are managed & monitored by our WLC/WCS/Navigator environment.
According to the device support documentation for LMS, it supports and I assume will auto-discover these APs.
Does that mean these APs will use up node licenses on LMS even though management of the APs is done by WLC/WCS? If so is there an easy way to suppress discovery of APs by LMS so we don’t have to purchase extra node licenses for LMS? Or, does LMS offer additional support features for wireless APs not already offered by WLC/WCS/Navigator?
Just trying to understand how many network node licenses for LMS I have to purchase.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ian.

Thanks but I just heard back from my Cisco SE and he assures me that an AP will NOT use up a license.
I've asked him to verify his answer for me.
Is your answer based on real world expereince (the best there is)? That is, are you running Prime LMS 4.1 and does it indeed use up a license for each light-weight AP it discovers & manages?
Thanks for mentioning options 1-3 but I do not wish to employ any of them. I don't mind buying the additional licenses for APs ... I just need to know if I have to or not.
Ian.

Issues with Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.3

Hi,
I'm trailing Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.3 Soft appliance on ESXi before I deploy it into a live environment and am having some issues.
I've upgraded to version 4.2.3 and the box was working fine after the upgrade however on power it up today the Apache service will not start.
If I look at the LMS application I see this for the Apache service.
"Apache Administrator has shut down this server 0 "
I have tried to starting it.
CiscoLMS42/admin# application start Apache
% Application failed to start
CiscoLMS42/admin#
If I run an application operation debug at the same time I get the following output.
CiscoLMS42/admin# 6 [5343]: application:operation cars_install.c[1145] [admin]: Application initialization initiated for appname: Apache, operation: 0
7 [5343]: application:operation cars_install.c[1146] [admin]: Operations: O-APP_START, 1-APP_STOP, 2-APP_STATUS
6 [5343]: application:operation cars_install.c[1150] [admin]: Verifying app (Apache) is installed ...

3 [5343]: application:operation install_cli.c[281] [admin]: Error while starting application - Application: Apache ErrorCode: -999
I'm at a complete lose as to where to look next, failing anything else I'll have to rebuild it, but it would be nice to know how to get the Apache up and running again.

Rich

Hi Richard,
I see the following:
[ Thu Apr 18 20:53:11 GMT 2013 ] TomcatMonitor After gettingAJPPort : ajpPort = 9009 and host =CiscoLMS42
[ Thu Apr 18 20:53:11 GMT 2013 ] TomcatMonitor theMgr constructor successful.

[ Thu Apr 18 20:53:11 GMT 2013 ] TomcatMonitor Tomcat is not ready, it's coming up Connection refused
It looks like the hostname cannot be resolved. Can you try to add a static entry in /etc/hosts for the IP of the server and CiscoLMS42?
Restart the daemon manager and it should work.

VMware Tools on Cisco Prime LMS 4.1

Hello,
I have just installed Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 from .ova file on a VMware architecture. My customer wants to know if the server is compatible with vmware tools.
I looked over Cisco documentation but it is never mentionned.
Has someone allready take a look into that ?
Thanks,
Regards,
Abel JULIAN,
Nextiraone FRANCE.

Yes, the datastore is located on a remote SAN so the original source won't be impacted by the loss of the ESXi. But in a perfect world (with VMtools), Vmotion will move VM from one ESX to another in case of failure, performance problem etc.
Those functions won't be accessible here, and the VM will need to be restarted manually and reaffected to another ESXi in case of failure. Like I said before, the LMS server is not a critical application so that is not a huge issue. The important is to know that Cisco does not support this feature.
Anyway, I have my answer so it is ok for me, I will notify my customer.
Thanks you for your time,
Regards,
Abel

Cisco Prime LMS Sofware Update

I had do some software update on my Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 but its seem fail. I also check to the Admin>Software Centre>Event Log its nothing appear. This thing happen after i delete all event log. After that when i do any update its seem fail and there are no event log anymore. I really appreciate if you can advise

Please share the error you see when you try the software update. Deleting event log will make no effect. Also, please try device update and see if you are able to connect to cisco.com and see device packages properly?
With the screenshot of error, share NMSROOT/log/psu.log from windows server or /var/adm/CSCOpx/log/psu.log from unix/lnx machine.
-Thanks
