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 4.0.1 / Device Discovery

Simple question, not so simple answer?
I have tried multipule times to do device discoveries, the same 26 devices come up unreachable. I have checked, double checked, and tripple checked the snmp community ro and rw strings on the switches and that snmp is enabled.. All seems configured correctly on the switches. I have tried arp, ip ping, cdp, just about all of the proper discovery protocols. I have tired using different seed devices, even already known reachable devices.... I'm stuck, no clue why I can't get this going! Please help. As a side note.. If imanually added unreachable devices as an snmp target in snmp setting windows during device discovery configuration it will "reach" and add the devices.

John...did you get this resolve? I am having the same issues. Several of my devices with subnet of 10.83.*.6 (seed switches) are unreachable in CW. I can telnet to many of the devices from the CW server and see that the community string (RO/RW) is the correct string in the configure however, still unreachable. Was you able to get this working? I do have a TAC case open for this. Still working through the issue. Write back...thanks in advance.

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-

CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 - some questions

Hello community,
I would like to ask some questions about CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1.
We are using for a few days, and I can't set some request in the system. I hope someone could help me to customize the CW as I would like to use it.
- We have some Catalyst 6500s, and between them there are Etherchannels. CiscoWorks sends us email because HighUtilization, and it relies on a Gi interface. I read that CW doesn't support etherchannels, is this true.
- I would like to receive email notifications about errdisabled state, etc. I know this is dome by RME, not DFM. The CiscoWorks server acts as Syslog server, too, and it collects the syslogs. I see in the Syslog summary, that the device sends to CW the syslog, but I can't receive email. I did an automated actions, (Monitor-Syslog-Automated actions), I defined the parameters (Facility: *, Sub-facility: *, Severity: 2, Mnemonic: PSECURE_VIOLATION, Description: *), but CW doesn't send me an email.
- I would like to customize interface threshould parameters per device. We have some router with Tunnel utilization 90%, but it's okay because we have a 10Mbit line for the external site. But when our distribution switch ethernet utilization would be 90%, it would be critical. Where can I set these parameters per device/interface?
Thank you for your help in advance.

If you go to Monitoring > Fault Settings > setup > fault device details
Select the device click view and click the device to open the detailed device view.
There you may see the tu interface under interfaces and set it to managed.

LMS 4.2.2 Device Interface Monitoring

HI,
On LMS 3.2 there was a way to disable the monitoring of Device Interfaces.
Examples are ISDN30 Channels, which go up and down during calls. I could disable the channel monitor on the relevant device and only monitor the Circuit as this is the main device to monitor.
I can not find the same option in 4.2.2
Could some provide the link.
Thanks

Monitor -> Fault settings -> Setup -> Fault Device Details
From there you select the device you want do modify.

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).

LMS 4.2 Fault Monitor - Device Name and Frequency of Events

Hi all,
I've just installed LMS 4.2, like it a lot so far. But I'm running into a few problems, and I'm hoping someone out here has a suggestion.
In the Fault Monitor, the Device Name column shows the device's IP address rather than the host name. We need for it to show the host name, for ease of troubleshooting; most folks don't have the IP addresses memorized. Likewise, when an email is sent out for an event, the managed device field also shows up as the device's IP address.
The devices were all discovered with their IP addresses rather than a host name...should LMS have automatically found their host names? Regardless, I manually updated all of the device's host names, yet they still display as an IP address in the fault monitor.
Also, it appears I need to figure out some way to throttle alerts. One particular device will report an event (ie a temperature out of range) dozens of times in a polling period...several per second, even though it's the same alert. Any suggestions on where I can throttle this? My inbox is exploding.
If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it!
Jen

I am having the IP vs. device name issue as well. The funny thing is if you hover over the IP of the device in Fault Monitor, you can see the device name listed. I was on a conference call with Cisco recently and pointed this out. One of the reps said the faults and alerts showing IP address issue should be fixed in version 4.2.3, but I don't know if he was basing this on first-hand knowledge or was just assuming. Does anyone know if this is the case?
As for throttling alerts. I had a false positive alert from a device that I put in a custom fault group and changed the threshold on to keep them from firing. You probably have already resolved this issue, but I didn't see a resolution listed here. You would have to determine if raising a threshold for a device is adequate for your situation.
Thank you,
Mark

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

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:

Ciscoworks LMS 3.2 SP1 upgrade issue

Dear all,
I've recently upgraded our CW 3.2 to 3.2.1 and I'm having a strange issue with HUM application registration with ACS. The privileges options such as 'Super Admin' etc are no longer there! All the privilege options for all of the other LMS components are there, it's just the HUM module! This is having a knock on affect on the server as Common Services DCR is now failing as it reports the System Indentity User configuration as not having all the privileges assigned!
Anyone else seen this?
Regards and thanks in advance,
Col

So I worked this out. I decided to try and re-register the Ciscoworks applications within ACS. The major issue was that Common Services just refused to talk to the ACS servers. I then remembered that we closed down the tcp port range on the ACS to a manageable number of sockets to firewall. This appartently is the issue, Ciscoworks registration with ACS wont work unless you re-open the port range! Once I did that Ciscoworks re-registered with ACS and I could re-register the applications and HUM was restored back to how it was!

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.
Andrea

No, 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.
Cheers,
Michel

CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 login issue.

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.
I have deleted and created it without success.
Any ideas?
Thanks for help.
Regards.
Andrea

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.

LMS 3.1 Device Discovery issue

Hello,
I have been getting myself familiar with LMS, but can't figure out why I am having issues seeing some devices. I can't find any solution to my problem on other posts.
I have a server farm connected to my core switch, both can see each other via CDP, and the SF can ping the LMS server. However, I have 'device unreachable' on device discovery and CiscoView. SNMP community strings are the same on each device, and are configured on LMS.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
LMS tries to contact each device directly via SNMP. If it can talk directly to the device, the device is added into DCR as Reachable. If it cannot talk directly to the device, the device is deemed as Unreachable and it is not added into DCR to be managed by LMS.
If LMS is unable to communicate it could be due to any number of things including timeout, incorrect community string, snmp-server view, firewall or access list.
A definitive way to determine the issue would be to perform a packet capture during discovery to see the SNMP transaction between LMS and an 'unreachable' device.
You can also try increasing the timeout value.
Thanks.

Issue in Device Details Report RME 4.0

Hi guys,
I have LMS 2.5 with RME 4.0. When I generate a "Device Detail Report" alias field is truncate and don't show all device description.
Someone knows what can be happening?
Thanks for all,
Juliano Tibo

Hi Juliano,
The Alias field is restricted to 65 characters long including spaces due to the fact that RME queries for that information from IF_MIB (1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18)
This variable is restricted to 4 octets (18: ifAlias - DisplayString(4 -octets))
Since the MIB itself is returning a truncated string, RME shows that only.
Hope this answers your question.
Regards,
-Joe R.
