Ciscoworks LMS 3.2 DCR issue

Dear Cisco,
We are still encountering problems when incorporating a new device type (Cisco Catalyst 3560C-8PC-S Switch) into Ciscoworks common services.
Yesterday, we installed the latest DeviceData.xml 3.6) file, and now the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1466 is in the file !! nevertheless the device stays in the unknown section. When we ask device identity in DRM the device type is known, but it is not classified under device type groups.
Any ideas how to tackle this issue ?
Many thanks!

I hope you're running LMS 3.2.1. If not, please update. Also, please check if you're using the latest mdf package for Common Services. Common Services brings the latest matadata for the devices.
This seems to be strange that even after the device has an identity/icon selected it still shows under unknown.
As a test, if you try to add any device manually with any test ip, say - 10.10.10.1 and use device type as - Cisco Catalyst 3560C-8PC-S Switch and see if that shows under unknown? This is just to verify if it is some specific issue with this device in DB.
-Thanks

Hello.
We are using CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 with TACACS login module enabled.
We have an issue with an account, and only this account. I can successfully login with any other account, newly created also.

Any ideas?
Thanks for help.

Hello.
We are using CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 with TACACS login module enabled.
We have an issue with an account, and only this account. When I try to login into LMS, TACACS server registers a passed authentication but my IE session stops running.
Same issue when I configure CiscoWorks to use the local login module.
Anyway, I can successfully login with any other account, newly created also.
I have deleted and created again without success.

Hi there,
I would like to seek your counsel with regards to the recent incident that we encountered with our CiscoWorks LMS 3.1 running on Solaris 10.
A few days ago, we received a few complains from our users that they were unable to view the pollers or contents of the TOP-N <CPU | Memory | Interface> Utilization on the HUM’s home page (see attached file, hum_homepage.jpg).
We (tech support guys) checked the pollers’ status and they’re all Active (see attached file, pollers.jpg); we notified our Administrators and requested for a copy of the HUMPortal.log (see attached file, humportal.zip).
The following day, while waiting for the HUMPortal.log, we received reports that users accessing the HUM home page are stuck with the message “loading…” on all TOP-N Utilization reports.
As we were about to re-queue our request from our administrators, we received reports (a few hours ago) that our CiscoWorks LMS is inaccessible via web browser.
We alerted our administrators and they attempted to restart the Daemon Manager (/etc/init.d/dmgmtd); they were able to successfully shut it down but took several attempts to start it up.
As they attempt to start up the Daemon Manager, they encountered the following error message:
# /etc/init.d/dmgtd start
Error: Daemon Management could not start. Trying again
Error: Unable to bind to port, please check port (42340) state and permissions.
Error: If the port is in use, please try starting Daemon Manager once it become free.
After several minutes passed, they were able to start up the Daemon Manager successfully although the CiscoWorks LMS is still inaccessible via web browser.
We requested for a copy of the “pdshow –brief” log and every daemon (as far as I know) seemed to be working fine but it never hurts to ask for help to verify my findings (see attached file, pdshow0818a.log).
As of the moment of this writing, we are still unable to access CiscoWorks LMS via web browser; any insight or suggestion on the next step to take in troubleshooting and eventually solving this problem is very much appreciated.

The port 42340 issue is most likley not related to the HUM issue you described. The latest log entry you provided indicates "Possible reasons for 'No Data' in HUM Portlets could be either Poller is not configured, or Poller is deactivated, or Poller Failure has occurred, or Summarization job did not start." The error is repeated back to the beginning of the file dated Aug 14 16:39.
To focus on the HUM issue:
Did any change occur on or around the 14th that you are aware of?
Please provide some additional debugs:
1. Please enable debug for "UPMProcess"
Log files are stored here: #/var/adm/CSCOpx/log/#
- HUMPortal.log
- upm_summarization.log
- jrm.log
- upm_process.log
2. To set log levels:
*Health and Utilization Monitor > Admin > System Preferences*.
- Select Log Level Settings.
- Select the application module from the drop-down list.
- Select the Debug log level from the Logging Level drop-down list.
Thanks,
Nick

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

Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 – Email Notifications Issue

We currently use Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 with over 1000 devices in the database. I'm a LMS novice. And have been assigned the task of minimising the amount of email notification’s we receive, as if one device goes Operationally Down all devices off that switch also send alerts to the email notification group, which in turn overwhelms the mailbox.
The ports are configured not to log or send snmp traps.
no logging event link-status
no snmp trap link-status
So any advice on how we can limit these alerts being generated would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Nessie,
Go to Monitor > Fault Settings > Setup > Fault Device Details
select the device and click on view then Click on the hyperlink or the device name\ip address
that will bring a new window from there click on Interface and chanaged the Managed state from ture to FLASE for those interfaces for which you do not want ALERTS.
Thanks-
Afroz

CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 - Could not generate the report

Hello,
I am running CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 since 6 months and I wanted to generate today a report about the interface utilization on 2 Cisco switches (Catalyst 3750G). The corresponding job is created, it runs and then i get "succeeded with info" in the "Run Status" column. When I want to click then on the "View Report" link, I get the following error: "Could not generate the report. Either data is not available for the specified duration or the report job failed."
I tried the same procedure with 2 other switches but I have got the same result.
Does anybody has an idea of how I can fix this issue?
Thanks a lot in advanced.
Best regards,
Marc Hoffmann

Hi Marc,
I have this problem too. I rebooted my Windows but no solved. You known the service name responsible for this error? You have any other sugestion?
Thank you !!!

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.
thanks

First 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 LMS 3.2 Won't Start on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise

All,
I installed CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 RME on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and the daemon manager won't start. The server is a VMware ESX server 4.0.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing.
I get message "The service is not responding to the control function"
Has anyone had this issue?
Stephanie

There could be several reasons this happens. Common one in Windows 2008 is the swap is not set properly as it defaults to "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives". Try setting the swap to 8GB manually or whichever is the recommendation for your current device count as per:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/3.2/install/guide1/prereq.html
Also make sure the startup services are set this way:
CiscoWorks ANI database engine: Manual
CiscoWorks Daemon Manager: Automatic
CiscoWorks RME NG database engine: Manual
CiscoWorks Tomcat Servlet Engine: Manual
CiscoWorks Web Server: Manual
CWCS Cmf database engine: Manual
CWCS rsh/rcp service: Automatic
CWCS syslog service: Automatic
CWCS tftp service: Automatic
DFM dfmEpm database engine: Manual
DFM dfmFh database engine: Manual
DFM dfmInv database engine: Manual
Set DEP for "Windows Essential Programs Only" and set an exclusion for CSCOpx in your anti-virus on-access scanning settings. Note that Windows 2008 R2 versions are not supported.

Ciscoworks LMS 3.2 Processes down

Hello all,
I have installed ciscoworks lms 3.2 on windows 2003.

After a few days, the ciscoworks processes were automatically down.
“Processes NOSServer, CmfDbMonitor, FHServer, IPMProcess, Sysloganalyser, 1041, CTMJrmServer,
Interactor1, EDS-GCF, IPMOGSServer, CMFOGSServer, 1015, DFMOGSServer, UPMDbMonitor, ChangeAudit, Inventory Collector, CampusOGSServer, Interactor, TISServer, jrm, UTManager,

Why were the processes down?
What might be the solution?

Ciscoworks LMS 3.2 bug summary report

Hi,
I have one Ciscoworks LMS 3.2, it managed around 500 devices. I tried to generate bug summary report and the bug number is zero. Please kindly help to solve this problem.
Best Regards,
Jackson Ku

For how many devices are you running the report?
[ Wed Jan 05 21:26:50 CST 2011 ],INFO ,[main],com.cisco.nm.rmeng.bugtool.BTBugSummary,populateResults,295,Cisco.com URL Connection TimeOut: Try again later or with less number of devices.
Have you tried running it for just one?
This is also kind of strange,
[ Wed Jan 05 21:26:50 CST 2011 ],INFO ,[main],com.cisco.nm.rmeng.bugtool.BTBugSummary,formBTDevHash,228,Device(s) are not supported by Cisco.com.
[ Wed Jan 05 21:26:50 CST 2011 ],INFO ,[main],com.cisco.nm.rmeng.bugtool.BTBugSummary,formBTDevHash,229,Hence Could not generate report
Like as if cisco.com would not know about these C3750's
Maybe do an export of these 3750's in the DCR to see if the all have the same OID and if it is a supported OID.
Are your device packages up to date? You may want to sync those with CCO.
Cheers,
Michel

Ciscoworks LMS 3.2 - CS job browser extremely slow

Hello,
I have ciscoworks LMS 3.2 on a solaris server with 8 GB of RAM.
Whenever I try to access Job Browser (CS->Server->Admin->Job Browser), the page is just loading forever. All other links like Backup, Log Rotation, Selftest etc load pretty quickly.
But opening the Job Browser seems next to impossible. All the processes are up and running, so I am not sure what the root cause might be.
Please help me if anyone has a solution to this issue.
Thanks,
Siva

Hi Sivarama,
I had a similar issue when LMS had many jobs ? Did you try to purge them (<30 days, for example) ?
Hope it helps,
Elisabeth

CiscoWorks LMS not sending mail

Hi,
I have CiscoWorks LMS functionning properly. For some time, I am seeing problems with it sending mail notifications. When it is rebooted, it sends the mail properly but after some time, the mail notifications are not sent.
Is there a log file to see the issue with the mail sending? I am not sure whether it is a CiscoWorks LMS issue or the mail server (on which i have no access) to try to isolate the problem.
The last change that I made to the server, that might be a possible cause. I had installed the HP NIC teaming with 2 NIC cards teamed and assuming the IP address of the server.
I just want to check with the server before proceding to mail server blacklisting or other.
Thanks in Advance,
Ashley

CiscoWorks LMS cannot add PIX/ASA in software repository

Hi,
I can see that LMS in RME Software Management cannot add PIX/ASA software saying not supported.
Any configuration issues.
I have got another problem. CiscoWorks LMS need to download IOS on cisco router, the process fails in RME Software Mgt. But the LMS is nated when it goes through the router.
i guess the script does not know the natted ip when running it on the router. If there is a way that I can specify the natted IP of the LMS. Fortunately, it is a nated static IP.
Thanks,
Ashley

Hi Joseph,
It is working fine. My mistake, issue with TFTP source interface.
However, I had got a small issue.
I have got a cisco router which RME accesses with ip natted ip, which you have indicated and It is working fine with RME. RME can manage the router perfectly.
However, DFM is leaving this router in questioned mode. So, the SNMP Credentials must be ok since it is good with RME.
Do I have to specify the Natted DFM ip as well for this router? Or something else must be done.

CiscoWorks LMS problem

We are running CISCOWORKS LMS in our Data Network,
But right now getting below problem,
1.    Unable to integrate Cisco-3925 integrated service router
2.    Unable to integrate Cisco-2811 integrated service router
3.    LMS cannot sense link status
4.    LMS cannot auto discover link
Attached Image for your kind reference.Appreciate your concern about this issue.

Hi Hafiz,
Kindly let me know how you are adding device to CiscoWorks LMS 2.6.
As a best practise, when you will add new device to CiscoWorks, you should not select the device type while adding the device to CiscoWorks. Let the ciscoworks collect the inventorty on device and identify it automatically.
To start with make sure you have the lastet MDF device packages install for Common Services and then install all device pachages for other components like RME, CiscoView etc but make sure to have lastest MDF install first.
Thanks

Need assistance in Ciscoworks LMS 3.2 for enable monitoring of cisco switches

Hello,
I am new to the ciscoworks LMS 3.2. I have a task to add a devices in ciscoworks and configure the SNMP on the devices and ciscoworks both. My company has bought the ciscoworks LMS3.2 in 2009 december since then one engineer has configured some devices in it but not fully. I tried to look into the guides and documentation but has huge stuff. My infrastructure lead also not familiar of ciscoworks tool. I know there is lot of documentation in it but I have very less time say this weekend I have to activate monitoring of devices in ciscoworks LMS 3.2. Can anyone please provide me the screenshots or step-by-step procedure to how to enable a device for monitoring who has prior experience on ciscoworks LMS 3.2.
Regards,
Ahmed

Regarding SNMP reachabilty, you are the man........ thats true the firewall is blocking, because the subnets for the swithces which i m trying to add into the ciscoworks are not added into the firewall. Those subnets are different than the other 20 switches which are shown as reachable.
and regarding the swithces which are already seen reachable, based on the document you have provided me for alert and monitoring of a device. I checked the DFM and configured as it is but still i didn't see any of the alert when I turned off one of the 4506E power supply. Is there something I am missing it.
What do you need from my side to provide information or screenshot so that we can sort out the issue of monitoring of the device. Should I get an alert even if the device goes down?
regards
Ahmed
