Many Thanks in advance,
LucaI verified that RME has a license to support 1500 devices while the devices discovered by RME are about 1600.
Many of these devices have now been eliminated from the Network (around 200) and I want to know if there is a way to automatically remove them from CW or if I must remove them manually step by step.
In LMS 3.0.1, you must remove them manually. LMS 3.2 has a feature which can poll devices in DCR, then generate a report for those which are no longer reachable. That will then facilitate removing those devices.

CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 and devices other than Cisco.
Hello.
Can I use some CiscoWorks LMS functions like config management, topology, with devices other than Cisco?
Thanks.
AndreaNo, RME, Campus and DFM are still hardcoded to restrict to cisco devices.
HUM and IPSLA are more open.
The functionality from the HUM will allow you to monitor availablilty, interfaces and you can add OID's yourself.
IPSLA can use non cisco devices as a target for their tests.

CiscoWorks Shadow Directory File Name After Device Rename
I have noticed that when a Device is renamed through Common Services --> Device and Credentials --> Device Management --> Edit Identity, it does not rename the config archive file name in the shadow directory. Changing the Display Name, Host Name, and IP Address for Device Properties. All of our devices are named with the IP Address of the device so we have the IP Address for the Display Name, Host Name, and IP Address.
Example: Device with the name of 10.10.10.10 has a config archive in the shadow directory with the file name 10.10.10.10.cfg. When the device is renamed to 10.10.10.20 it still continues to config archive ok but keeps the file in the shadow directory as 10.10.10.10.cfg.
Is there a way to get the config archive shadow directory file name to change?
Thanks.Hi.
Kindly try resubmitting Device under RME (RME ->Device management -> Normal Device ->Select that particular Device and click on resubmit) and once it is back to normal state, then try to collect Archive after performing any change on the Device and see if it updates the Name of the Device under Shadow Directory.
If above steps does not help, you need to delete and re add Device under Common Services --> Device and Credentials --> Device Management in order to get the correct name reflect under Shadow Directory.
Kindly let me know in case you have any doubts regarding the same.
Thanks & Regards,

CiscoWorks LMS3.2 device selectability in RME Config Management
Hello
All of a sudden we are unable to select individual devices in RME / Config Management, devices appear grayed out, we are able to select the whole device group and run the job but not individual devices. If we go to Device Center we can select individual devices and perform tasks.
We have tried restarting server (windows) and stopping and starting CW Daemon Manager, not sure what else to look at.
Thanks in advance.
carl baggePlease try to break the integration with the following procedure:
CiscoWorks to local login mode (bring down ACS integration)
1. Stop the daemon manager using:
On Windows: net stop crmdmgtd
On Solaris: /etc/init.d/dmgtd stop
2. Execute the following script:
On Windows: NMSROOT/bin/perl ResetLoginModule.pl
On Solaris:/opt/CSCOpx/bin/ResetLoginModule.pl
3. Start the daemon manager using:
On Windows: net start crmdmgtd
On Solaris: /etc/init.d/dmgtd start.
Note: You must have appropriate privileges on the system
Windows = Administrator
Solaris = root
After this check if you are able to perform all the tasks without being integrated with ACS and then integrate again, but in CW Common Services>Server>Security>AAA Mode Setup, please do not check the Application Registration box. -
LMS 3.2 and RME NetConfig Job - No Devices
I'm runnig CW LMS 3.2 on Solaris 10. If I go to Resource Management Essentials, click on NetConfig, and then select "create" as in "create a NetConfig job", it takes me to the Netconfig Jobs screen. On this screen, I check "select all devices ", but afterwards it says that "0 devices selected". There are over 1000 devices in our inventory, so I cannot understand why they are not found. They are visible on the system module, and in RME-Devices. But they are not availalble for RME Netconfig jobs.
Any ideas?When I enter the NetConfig jobs screen, I click on "create" ,which takes me to the next screen, where I click on "device" , which takes me to the next screen where I have a select "device box" and a "select task" box. Checking the "all devices" option results in "0 devices select". If I click on the "+" sign on the "all devices" option to expand a list of all devices, it changes to a "-" but does not show any devices.
About the screen shot, due to the confidential nature of my work environment, I may not be allowed to do that. I'm checking with the security manager about that now. -
Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 – Fault Device Details Issue
We currently use Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 but when I go into, Monitor > Fault Settings > Setup > Fault Device Details
I get the following message (see attached document with screenshot) and being a LMS newbie am unsure what to do? As have tried to search for this
file but no luck.
So thanks in advance for any advice.Check if the fault management rediscovery page shows device as discovered and known or does it have any errors?
Are you able to generate any fault management reports and view other pages?
Just try to reboot the server/restart daemon to see if it is goes away.
Else it is mostly corrupt FM DB. Which would need to be re-initialized.
Fault Mgmt reinitialize is very simple task, which doesnt removes a lot of data, except past 31 days of FM history and custom notifications, if configured.
Thanks
Vinod

Adding Device support/definitions in Ciscoworks LMS 3.2
Hi All
I am having some issues adding updated definitions for Cisco C3750X-48PS switches.
We have ciscoworks LMS 3.2 and I need to update the definition/device support for these switches. We are conducting a network refresh and are having some issues with ciscoworks polling these devices correctly.
I have looked through the various user guides and searched on google with not much luck as to how to actually do this, the links I have found breifly go into it, but not indepth, and the cisco links I have found, of course have redirects to new pages which bear to resemblance to what is in the original document. Is there a clear guide out there on how to update the switch definiton in ciscoworks? So I can i can try and do this correctly?
I am new in my current role and I want to ensure I am doing this correctly. Apologies if this has been asked before.
thanksFirst thing to check is the supported device table for LSM3.2. According to it, the 3750X-48P-S is supported pretty much across the board by the LMS tools.
So you then need to just make sure you update the RME, CM, DFM and CiscoView device packages to integrate the updates into your server. While you can manually download and install the various packages, this task is more easily accomplished via the application GUI itself.
In LMS 3.2, updates can be done via the Common Services Software Center. The User Guide (here) tells how to use that area in great details. I usually just select "everything" for updating so as to be fully updated for whatever gets installed (as opposed to trying to pick and choose the minimal set of packages). -
CiscoWorks 3.1 RME devices hung in pending state
I added over 4800 devices to my new instance of CiscoWorks LMS 3.1 using the dcrcli tool and a about 75% of them are stuck in the RME pending state. About 900 of them have moved to the normal state and inventory and config archive collection has been successful on them. 3950 have not moved from the pending state and when I click pending no devices show up. They also show as failed under the inventory collection state. I am new to CW so any help would be apreciated.
Thanks!Is LMS integrated with ACS?

Ciscoworks LMS 2.5 don`t working software & devices updates
Terrible happened The old server with LMS on the Solaris operating system refused to work, but I have backup. I installed LMS 2.5 (CiscoView 6.1.2), RME 4.0.3. Posted all network objects that were in the old system from backup. But none of them can not do in the utility Netconfig, all the checkbox on the switches Cisco ME 3400-24TS-A inactive, butwith the Cisco 3750 is no such problem, it works. As I understand it, I must run Device Update, but the answer is a "No updates available in CCO for selected product (s)." The same problem with Software Update, I can not upgrade to LMS 2.6 and other products too. Tell me what to do? Some screenshots attached below.
Maybe Cisco has stopped maintaining the online update repositories for LMS 2.x. Alternatively, you can try finding the relevant RME/CiscoView/Campus Manager device updates at
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html?mdfid=268439477&i=rp
For example, select RME, instead of LMS, to find if the RME device pkgs are available for download. Once downloaded, you can apply them on the LMS servers locally. -
LMS 3.2 RME Device Update failed
Hello experts,
I got a new error on my LMS 3.2 with RME 4.3.1
I can´t install any of the RME Device updates.
e.g. : "Installation failed for product [Resource Manager Essentials] with message : com.cisco.nm.xms.psu.packagemgmt.InstallerException: Repository in use. Another Package Support Updater client session may be modifying device support."
I looked up for a .lock file in my CW dir but there is no one.
NMSROOT/Psu.Lock and NMSROOT/www/classpath/com/cisco/nm/xms/psu/Psu.Lock does not exist.
There are no other .lock files in the CW dir and subdirs.
I attatched a psu.log file. Maybe u will see the failure.
What I tried:
- Restart daemon
- install from cisco.com
- install from local dir
... everytime the package installation failed.
Bye,
PatrickYou will need an identical server (RME 4.3.1) with an updated/healthy package repository. If you have that, you can follow these steps to regenerate maps:
1. Shutdown daemons:
net stop crmdmgtd
2. On the bad server, delete all .zip files under the two RME package repositories:
NMSROOT\www\classpath\com\cisco\nm\xms\psu\pkgs\rme
NMSROOT\MDC\tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\lib\pkgs
3. Copy all of the packages under one of the above locations on the good server to both of these locations on the bad server.
4. Delete your bad rme*.map files under NMSROOT/www/classpath/com/cisco/nm/xms/psu/maps/ and replace them with the good ones.
5. Restart daemons:
net start crmdmgtd -
Custom device prompt in Ciscoworks LMS
Hello,
In emerging network infrastructure of our client we decided to use some custom promps at device VTY (SSH and Telnet). Console users are network authenticated by means of ACS, and in case ACS is not reachable, we decided to use login prompts as follows:
Username(local):
Password(local):
In this local mode, when CiscoWorks LMS (3.1) tries to collect configuration of switches, VLAN configuration exactly, we got such error messages in LMS interface:
TELNET: Failed to establish TELNET connection to 10.52.0.1 - Cause: Authentication failed on device 3 times. VLAN Config fetch is not supported using TFTP. Command failed VLAN Config fetch is not supported using RCP.
Of course, we have checked the possibility to got from LMS host to these devices by SSH and Telnet, credentials are correct, only login prompts are as described earlier.
I conclude, we need to tell LMS to accept our custom prompts. Is there any possibility and how to achieve this?If you're sure the failure is due to the custom prompt, yes, you can simply follow the steps in the following document to let LMS know about that:

How to specify a wildcard in LMS 4.2 Device Manager
I am in the process of transitioning from LMS 3.2 to LMS 4.2. Device Manager in LMS 3.2 uses asterisk as a wildcard when searching for a device. When I use the asterisk in LMS 4.2 it does not work. For instance I enter VCG1* and get "The device is not available in the Device Credential Repository, or you are not authorized to view the device details." VCG100-IT-AX is visible, selectable, and editable if I select the icon to list the devices available. How do wildcards work in LMS 4.2 Device Manager?
You're welcome. Thanks for the rating.

Extract Devices from Ciscoworks LMS 4.2 to Nagios database
Hello everyone,
I'm working on ciscoworks LMS 4.2 and as part of a project I need to extract all of my devices to a Nagios Database.
Is it possible to do ?
If yes, can you explain me how can I do that ?
Perhaps with snmp traps, I don't know.
Thank for your consideration and your help.
Cordially.I am not an expert in Nagios, so no idea on what options does it have to import devices.
In LMS, you have an option to export devices and its credentials list in .csv and xml format. Please check if you can use any one of those to get imported on Nagios.
Check details on how to export from user guide here :
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/user/guide/inventory/mng_device.html#wp1132486
Also, you can try to fetch database details from LMS using Open Database Connect. Use the following document for more details :
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/database_schema/dbviews_42.html#wp23144
You should check the possible option on Nagios to import devices and than ask if that is available on LMS.
-Thanks

Ciscoworks LMS RME / ASA Firewall configuration pre-shared key savings
Does anybody know the concept about saving pre-shared by Ciscoworks LMS /RME ?
Is there a way to get the unencrypted values from Ciscoworks LMS /RME for an ASA Firewall ?
ASA config. saved with RME
pre-shared-key *
ASA config. saved to TFTP from ASA
pre-shared-key 1ZdmaKVwEkQ66nD37d9kA9fj9z75If you enable "shadow directory" (RME - Admin - Config Mgmt - Archive Mgmt - Archive Settings), you can find the raw configs in locations such as /var/adm/CSCOpx/files/rme/dcma/shadow/Security_and_VPN/PRIMARY on Solaris, or its Windows equivalent, after one requisite cycle of Periodic Polling and/or Periodic Collection. That's the same config one'd get saving to TFTP manually.
However, I don't recall how to unscramble the "asterisks" in the RME GUI, if at all possible.
