Ciscoworks LMS 3.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2

In order to complete the upgrade the LMS 3.x runs over a physical server that ends with the upgrade(server its gona be retired), the think is that the Cisco Prime comes with an UCS and its gona run over a VM. The question here is the "Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1 - Maj Upg from LMS 2.x/3.x" media could be runs as clean install, I mean with no LMS 3.x intalled  before? an the "Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 - 1.5K Device Maj Upg Lic" could be registered with no license installed of LMS 3.x?

There are a couple of things to distinguish:
1. The product SKU you need to order to migrate from LMS 3 to LMS 4.2.
2. The license file that is installed on that new LMS server.
#1 is based on Cisco agreeing, usually through the partner or reseller you are working with, that you are entitled to order the upgrade SKU (vs. buy a complete new product). The upgrade SKUs are all listed in the ordering guide here.
L-PI12-1.5K-UP (note - NOT the 1.1 product description you noted in the original post) would be the SKU for a major upgrade from LMS 2.x/3.x to the current Prime Infrastructure 1.2 release at the 1500 device license level. That upgrade includes licenses for both PI 1.2 and Prime LMS 4.2. You may choose which to install - most LMS customers stick with LMS for now as PI 1.2 does not yet have full feature parity. Your managed devices should not exceed 1500 combined (in this case) but that combined number is not enforced technically by the product's license daemon.
Once you have purchased the product and have the media you can install it on any host that meets the installation prerequisites as far as OS, memory, disk etc. A clean installation of LMS does not check for or require a previous installation as far as technical checks.
#2 - Once you have installed the new LMS server (and optionally a step near the end of installation, you need to add in the license file (*.lic file). That is obtained through the Cisco licensing portal (or via the TAC if you prefer) using the Product Activation Key (PAK) received with your product.

  • Upgradding Prime Infrastructure version 1.2 and LMS 4.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0

    Hello,
    A customer currently have 2,500 Cisco Prime Infrastructure Lifecycle device license using Prime Infrastructure version 1.2 and LMS 4.x. the customer wants to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade to version 2.0 without additional cost? the licenses from
    Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 has to be upgraded or we need only to rehost the VUDI.
    Also could be possible to upgrade LMS 4.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0?
    thanks!

    The two features you mention are two big missing ones. Another is full syslog capability. I don't believe CiscoView or day one support via package updates is included either.
    Another is less tangible - the depth of experience and documentation available for LMS vs. Prime Infrastructure (particularly the wired management features). I agree for wireless PI 2.0 looks good. Some new features are coming for wired that look promising but they are new as of PI 2.0 so I'm taking a wait and see on them.
    I hope to get 2.0 up in my lab in the next week or so and will hope to be pleasantly surprised but that's seldom the case with a major new release.

  • Upgrade Cisco Prime LMS 4.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1

    My company has asked me to migrate Prime LMS 4.0 to Prime Infrastructure 2.0 for a client and can not find the guide, the questions are? the migration is possible without an intermediate step? and There is a guide to update LMS 4.0 to PI 2.0 ??
    Thanks in advance.

    Prime LMS 4.2.2 added support for the PI template directly:
    Export Data for Prime Infrastructure
    Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution supports data migration to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. This feature enables user to export the Device Credentials Repository (DCR) data from LMS 4.2.x versions to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. The data backup status and backup location are displayed at the bottom of the Export Data for Prime Infrastructure page. The data being exported from LMS and the data imported back to PI are listed as follows.
    Data exported from LMS
    •Device Credentials Repository (DCR)
    •Software Image Management
    •Config Archive
    •Change Audit
    •Syslog
    Data Imported to PI

  • Upgrading from LMS 4.1 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure

    Looking for some information and confirmation on the upgrade process.
    Currently we are running LMS 4.1 with a valid SAS Service Contract which will allow me to upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 1.1 or Prime Infrastructure 1.2 using the upgrade tool at no charge. After using the tool I am given access to download PI1.1 or PI1.2, however, it only actually let me download PI1.1 but said i do not have the proper permissions to download the 1.2 license. I also noticed that the software images for 1.2 are not available ont he ciso download page.
    I am wondering what the latest version of Prime Infrastructure I will be able to upgrade to without an additional purchase. Can I upgrade up to all the way up to 1.4 or can I only go up to 1.2 (but then where is the download for the software).
    If i can upgrade to 1.4 then what path should I take? 1.1 to 1.3 to 1.4? Just skip 1.2 since the download is not available and it will not let me download the license file?
    Thank you for your help

    LMS 4.x to Prime 1.x would not be considered a functional or recommended "upgrade" for most intents as you would lose several major capabilities (Topology, Ciscoview, many reports, compliance templates, etc.). Your best path right now would be to move your LMS along to the current version - 4.2.4. The release notes explain the upgrade path for that.
    Licensing and upgrade eligibility-wise you need SASU for PI (not plain SAS for LMS) for major upgrades (i.e to go to 2.0). An LMS SAS contract entitles you to migrate to PI 1.2 which in effect means 1.3 although Cisco had some issues with updating the ordering system so there was not actually a SKU for PI 1.3 sold - only the 1.2 version which, when combined with your LMS SAS service contract, entitles you to move to PI 1.3 (or 1.4 but that's not generally recommended). More details are in the Prime Ordering and Licensing Guides here.
    Personally, I recommend customers with existing LMS 4.x installations wait until PI 2.1 comes out to consider the upgrade. 2.0 still misses several tools present in LMS 4.x.
    If you really want to move over to PI, you can export the data from LMS 4.2.4 and import into PI 1.3 (or 2.0).

  • LMS 4.1 (Windows) & NCS 1.1 (VM) Upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2

    Hi All,
    Im getting a bit confused about the whole upgrade migration process for the following config to Cisco Prime Infrastructure:
    LMS - Version 4.1 , 500 devices. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1
    NCS – version 1.1 , 50 devices  Red Hat Linux ( 64 Bit)  (Installation software - NCS-VA-1.0.1.4-small.ova)
    I want to be able to backup databases and migrate licensing from LMS and NCS to one platform. Does anyone have experience of this and could possible guide me thorugh this process. LMS has SAS and NCS has SAU.
    Help will be very much appreciated!!   

    It's a couple of steps but can be done. You may want to reconsider getting off of LMS since the latest Prime Infrastructure (PI 1.2) does not have full feature compatibility with the latest LMS (4.2.3). Have a look here for the comparison.
    If you still want to do it:
    1. Upgrade your NCS to PI 1.2 (instructions). If you're going with a total of 550 devices on a combined license you should use the medium ova file to get the correct server resource allocation. You will need to get the new license from the TAC or via the licensing portal. I'm not sure if you can get the PI license for your LMS upgrade directly via the portal but you do have the entitlement for LMS 4.2 and PI 1.2 (combined licenses not to exceed the original LMS number) if your SAS is current. You may need to contact the TAC and ask for the licensing team.
    2. Upgrade your LMS to 4.2 and patch it to 4.2.2 (instructions). Once you've done that, there is a simple menu command to export your device credentials to Prime (Admin, System, Export Data to PI in LMS and then Operation, Device Work Center, Bulk Import in PI - instruction on Page 18 here). Do that and then in the new PI installation import the devices.
    Verify everything is working and you can decommission the LMS server.

  • Email notification for config deployment jobs in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 ??

    We're upgrading from LMS 3.2 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure ...
    In LMS 3.2 we're using netconfig all the time to configure various jobs related to port security
    In installing Cisco Prime Infrastructure and working through it's use of templates, I'm having some difficulty finding out how to send out a notification once a configuration job has completed.  It's so simple in LMS 3.2 since it's part of the job creation screens.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    HI, Raymond
    Just wondering if this problem is resolved?
    Thanks!

  • 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?
    Regards,
    Jelena

    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.

    Thanks Marvin for your advice. Just one last question, there's a statement in the URL that you've provided
    "Ensure that the passwords, HTTPS port and SMTP server details are same in both LMS 3.2 SP1, LMS 4.0.1 or LMS 4.1 server and LMS 4.2 server with Symantec Veritas implementation, while migrating data from non-HA to HA environment."
    Does this mean my client need to purchase Symantec Veritas, as well?

  • Cisco LMS 4.0.1 to Prime Infrastructure 2.x Upgrade

    Hello,
    we are using Cisco LMS and want to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
    Now we have received the following license update: L-L-PI2X-100-U     -      LMS to Prime Infrastructure 2.x Upgrade 100 Device
    and I wonder what is the best way to upgrade.
    After a long search I found the following document on cisco:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/cloud-systems-management/prime-infrastructure/guide-c07-729990.html#wp9000727
    There is only the talk of the upgrade from 4.2 LMS to Prime.
    The problem is that we can not update to version 4.2 because of an error. Thats one reason why we need to upgrade to prime.
    Is the only possibility now to export databases?
    thanks in advance

    Hi Heiko,
    Upgarding from LMS 4.0.1 to LMS 4.2  , you need a New Licesne . Are you getting that error..
    Upgarding from LMS to PI is alomost like a new Installation of PI. because only thing you can IMPORT from LMS to PI is the device list .
    you can download the software from the below link:
    http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284422771&flowid=45323&softwareid=284272932&release=2.0.0&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=all
    Installation  link:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-0/install/guide/Cisco_PI_Hardware_Appliance_Installation_Guide/cpi_higmain.html
    hope it will help
    Thanks-

  • Cisco Prime network and cisco prime infrastructure

    Hi,
    What is the difference between Cisco Prime Network and Cisco Prime infrastructure.
    Please advice.

    I assume you are asking about Cisco Prime LAN Management System (LMS) vs. Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI).
    LMS is currently the leading Cisco offering for wired infrastructure management. It is the evolution of the earlier CiscoWorks LMS, CiscoWorks RWAN CiscoWorks 2000, CWSI, VLAN Director, original CiscoWorks classic etc. products going back almost 20 years.
    PI is the equivalent Cisco offering for wireless LANs and is the successor to NCS and WCS products.
    The overlap and confusion comes from the fact the Cisco is positioning PI as the overall wireless and wired management platform and gradually introducing wired network management features to make it equal (and eventually exceed) LMS's capabilities.
    There is a comparison table here that shows the current differences. A major new release of PI (2.0) is due out shortly which will close many (but not all) of the gaps on that table.

  • Future of cisco prime infrastructure

    We have upgraded our CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 to Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.3, and we are running another server for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3.
    My understanding: Prime LMS 4.2.3 is mainly for wired network and PI for wireless network. We have to run two seperate servers to manage the network. Is my understanding correct.
    My question is:  Would Prime Infra still have two parts in future: LMS and NCS? Would Cisco move LMS functionality into NCS in future release? Could NCS be used to manage wired network?

    The roadmap is for more features to be added to Prime Infrastructure until it does everything the old WCS  and NCS products did for wireless (that part is pretty much done as of PI 1.3) and that the LMS product does for wired (not nearly as far along on that path).
    There is a major release (2.0) due out this summer for PI that promises to take a big step towards feature parity with LMS but it will still not be 100%. My experience is that as of right now PI does not have nearly the depth of features (for wired management) - and the documentation on what features it has is very scanty.
    While right now PI can manage a good number of wired infrastructure items, there are a good number of things it cannot do. So LMS will be a current and viable product for the forseeable future (1-2 years out in my estimation). It would be premature at this point for most customers to use a single PI installation for all wired and wireless management. That may change with PI 2.0, but we won't know until we see what features make the cut and how well-implemented they are. Already that product ship date has slipped at least 6 months.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1

    Hi Team,
     I have a doubt for version PI-1.1.
    PI 1.1 is installed on the VMware i.e. on the virtual platform
    The customer has bought the following:
    R-PI-1.1-K9 ------Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1
    R-PI-1.1-100-K9-----Prime Infrastructure 1.1 Software - 100 Device Base Lic 
    L-PILMS42-100------------- Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 - 100 Device Base Lic
    L-PINCS11-100------------- Prime Infrastructure NCS 1.1 - 100 Device Base Lic
    L-PINCSW11-100---------- Prime Infrastructure NCS WAN 1.1 - 100 Device Base Lic 
    As it is the 1.1 there is no lifecycle and assurance licenses. 
    Currently L-PINCS11-100 is installed on the server.
    How do I install L-PINCSW11-100 and L-PILMS42-100.
    Can this both licenses be installed on the same server or do they need additional server.
    Thanks in advance..

    If you install PI 1.1 you need a base licence. You must have a single base license to run the software. The base license here is R-PI-1.1-K9.
    After this you need a Device license which decides how many devices you can manage on your application. Here Device Base License is R-PI-1.1-100-K9 which is Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1 Software - 100 Device Base License.
    So to run your Cisco Prime Infra 1.1 you need only these two licenses (more if you want to manage more that 100 device - using add-on license).
    You can check CPI 1.1 License guide here.
    So server 1 = CPI 1.1 :
    R-PI-1.1-K9 ------Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1
    R-PI-1.1-100-K9-----Prime Infrastructure 1.1 Software - 100 Device Base Lic 
    Other Server's, if you want these applications:
    1 for = NCS Application/software (L-PINCS11-100)
    1 for Ciscoworks LMS application/software (L-PINCSW11-100)
    -Thanks

  • 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 1.2 on Windows Server/Hyper-V

    Hi Everyone,
    In Entriprise environment while designing a BYOD solution we need to integrate ISE3315 with CPI 1.2. I know that Cisco ISE software either runs on 3315 platform or other option is virtual appliance (which is VMware based). Now problem is that we have Hyper-V environment as standard so I need to go with ISE-3315. Here my concern is to I install CPI 1.2 on Hyper-V, or on a Windows Server (2008 or 2012) based machine. Is that doable?
    Any help, suggessions would be warmly welcomed.
    Thanks,
    Azhar...

    Cisco Prime LMS will slowly be phased out in favor of Cisco Prime Infrastructure and hence there are no new mainline releases are planned to provide support to new Hardware or virtualization support.
    However, Prime LMS do support Hyper V Virtualization (As an installable in Windows 2008). Please note that Virtualization technologies like, VMWare and Hyper V virtualization systems are not supported in LMS 5000, and LMS 10000 Devices license, in Windows. VMWare Systems are supported in LMS 5000, and LMS 10000 Devices license in Soft Appliance. Virtualization technologies like, VMWare and Hyper V virtualization systems are not supported in LMS 5000, and LMS 10000 Devices license, in Windows. VMWare Systems are supported in LMS 5000, and LMS 10000 Devices license in Soft Appliance.
