Config collection fails occasionally in LMS 4.2

Hello,
In recently installed LMS 4.2 archive collection is failing from time to time for random number of devices with error:
      "Execution Result: CM00139 Could not archive config Cause: Action: Verify that device is managed and credentials are correct. Increase timeout value, if required."
     We have sceduled config collection job to run every day. Credentials are ok. The LMS data is restored from LMS 3.2. Timeout seeting is the same as in LMS 3.2 and we never had this problem before.
     Somtimes it is working for 10 days correctly, and then one day it is not successful for 70 out of ~150 device. Then t is successfull for few days, then again fails for 86 devices. Collction is scedueld in the evening so devices are not overloaded, nor there is some other job in LMS running at the same time.
     Any ideas?
     Thanks,
     Marija

The following did resolve my issue
The bug is fixed in the one of the latest device packages for LMS, SharedSwimIOS.RME525.v2-13-3. The release notes for it is here: http://www.cisco.com/web/software/283418817/118429/SharedSwimIOS.RME525.v2-13-3.readme.txt
Before applying that device package update, the following prerequisites need to be met:
- LMS 4.2.5
- MDF 1.92 (or higher) update : https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284259296&flowid=37207&softwareid=283716219&release=Mdf.%201.92&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
- LibSwim.RME525.v2-13-1.zip & SharedDcmaIOS.RME525.v5-1-2.zip device packages already installed. Those two files and the SharedSwimIOS.RME525.v2-13-3 file can be found here: https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284259296&flowid=37207&softwareid=283418817&release=AutoDev%285.8%29&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest

LMS 4.0 Config Collection failure

Hello Members,
i've added manually a bunch of Cisco Router 2911's and 2801's. On one of the the 2911 and 2801 the Config Collection fails. Data Collection, User Tracking, Inventory and Fault Discovery worked fine for all routers just on the two routers i get the failure?
any ideas? Which log do i have to check?
regards
alex

I believe the LMS reports this error because there was no vlan.dat in the
flash of the router. after adding a vlan.dat file on in the flash the vlan config
could be fetched and the error message doesn't appear any more.

LMS 3.1 Inventory Collection fails

I have the same problem as the following post:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/176673?tstart=0&viewcondensed
Also, LMS fails inventory collection every time. I click on the "failed" link from LMS Portal, but the page never comes up detailing why it has failed. This is after I fixed an issue with group policy overwriting the "Logon as batch" setting for casuser. Everything appeared to be up and running normally again, when I noticed the next day that inventory polling/collection is failing. pdshow attatched.
The following error message continues to show up in the rme_ctm.log file:
[ Tue Feb 22 07:40:55 CST 2011 ] URN_NOT_FOUND : urn "JRM" : Not found !!
The last entry in the CTMJrmServer.log file is:

I've been blindly trying to chase this down and getting nowhere.

LMS 4.2 - Config collection issue

After launching config collection job in LMS 4.2 I can't get job results and receive error message - Unable to get results of job execution for device...
I've increased the job result wait time using option in Admin > Collection Settings ... , but nothing changed.
Here are screenshots of error message and wait settings I used:
Thanks in advance!

i have seen this with SNMP timeout needed to be increased.
please try to increase those values, and not the job completion values.
I just saw in CP LMS 4.2 that the values are assembled on a new page.
all of them ...
Admin > Network > Timeout and Retry Settings > Inventory/Config Timeout and Retry Settings
also in the navigator of the same last windows your screenshot is from try the device specific timeouts:

LMS 4.0 Config collection vlan.dat

Hi Guys,
I have a network with 4500, 3560 and 2960 switches.
In my LMS I have created 1 credential set to access all the switches. The config collection (startup, running and vlan) has succeeded for all the 2960 switches. The collection of the running and startup config has also succeeded for the 4500 and 3560 switches. But LMS doesn't collect the vlan.dat from the 4500 and 3560 switches. (inventory collection is ok with all the switches).
I have only configured SSH as config fetch protocol.
Why doesn't my LMS collect the vlan.dat of the 3560 and 4500 switches. The difference between the 2960 and the other switches is that there are only 2 vlans created on the 2960 switches and +30 vlans on the 3560 and 4500 switches.
Is the vlan.dat file maybe to big on the 3560 and 4500 to be collected with ssh...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Joris

I believe that LMS 4.2 can get the vlan.dat via SCP. Prior versions require TFTP to do this.
The commands to start the TFTP can be send via TELNET, SSH and possibly SNMP.
Cheers,
Michel

Cisco lms - config collection

Hi, i'm looking for a way to collect config's from specific devices periodically, is this possible?
for example, collect configs from firewalls everyday at midnight , and collect routers config once a week.
firewalls: (about 3 devices, config changes every day)
routers: (about 800 devices, rarely change the config)
the only config collection schedule i have found so far is too simple:
admin > collection settings > config > config collecion settings > periodic collection
second question, is it possible for cisco lms to send via e-mail the diff of the config pulled from devices? i mean the specific commands that have appeared in the new configuration file.
regards, ignacio

Unfortunately, LMS syslog mechanism is very minimalistic and doesn't have a lot of options to it.
However, the feature you're requesting is not very much LMS dependent. As, Ciscoworks depends on the kind of syslog message it receives from device, based on it, it captures some characters to send a notification as automated actions.
So usually it is the device which won't send a lot of information on what changes was done by which user in normal IOS syslog messages.
But, to certain extent, you can try to configure you device for Configuration-Change logger to receive details on what changes were made by users and check it on the syslog report, or configure AA on it for all or important devices.
You can enable a configuration logger to keep track of configuration changes made with the command-line interface (CLI). When you enter the logging enable configuration-change logger configuration command, the log records the session, the user, and the command that was entered to change the configuration. You can configure the size of the configuration log from 1 to 1000 entries (the default is 100). You can clear the log at any time by entering the no logging enable command followed by the logging enable command to disable and reenable logging.
Use the:
show archive log config {all | number [end-number] | user username [session number] number [end-number] | statistics} [provisioning] privileged EXEC command to display the complete configuration log or the log for specified parameters.
This example shows how to enable the configuration-change logger and to set the number of entries in the log to 500:
Switch(config)# archive
Switch(config-archive)# log config
Switch(config-archive-log-cfg)# logging enable
Switch(config-archive-log-cfg)# logging size 500
Switch(config-archive-log-cfg)# end
So, in all, it depends on the device and the kind of syslogs it send for LMS to react on it.

Folks, How do you stop tftp being tried for Config collection ?

Hi there. We use LMS 3.2 with RME 4.3.1.[Solaris 10].
tftp is band across our network. So we don't use tftp remotely.
I've removed tftp from the RME config transport settings. [I just allow SSH / SCP ]
We still get 'couldnot determine the tftpboot directory. VLAN Config fetch is not supported using SCP'.
How can config RME to not even attempt to use tftp when pulling back switch configs ?
We don't want the old vlan.dat database form our older switches. Config collection also tries to tftp to routers to pull back the VLAN config.
Please have a think ? Many thanks. Guy

So it still tries anyway?
Well, if you use SSHand RCP/SCP you could try to disable the TFTPserver of ciscoworks.
It is a regular windows service (on the windows version of LMS ofcourse) just stop and disable it.
Archive will fail because it can't get vlan.dat ofcourse but that is how RME is hardcoded
Cheers,
Michel

Error Message in config Archive in RME in LMS 4.2

I got the below error message in the config archive in the LMS 4.2.
CM0056 Config fetch failed for 10.0.0.10 Cause: CM0204 Could not create DeviceContext for 797 Cause: CM0202 Could not access 10.0.0.10 via SNMP. Action: Check the Read Community string Action: Check if required device packages are available. Action: Check if protocol is supported by device and required device package is installed.

Please tell me the reason for this issue.

Are you usig only TFTP option to archive configuration. Try to use the telnet/ssh. TFTP as a protocol set for config archive.
Check the Credential verificatio job to see if the crendentials are configured correctly.

Inventorycollection ENTITY_Mib:device sensed but collection failed

Dears,
It appears in LMS 4.2, Inventory Collection, is trying to query some POE MIB or MIB entries that older devices don't support.
This makes devices fail saying: 'device sensed but collection failed'
My biggest issue is that RME categorically bins all device data already collected, making the device disappear from inventory reports.
Rather than test if a mib is supported it just assume it is there. !!!!??? (what about some backward compatibility?)
BugId CSCub09829 describes the issue:
I was able to fix the issue for some older 3750's with package LibInventory ver 3.6.1, but I have several other 'older' device types giving me the same type of error.
Anyone else seeing this?
Anyone got a solution from cisco?
Cheers,
Michel

I heard noises that a fix will be available in LMS 4.2.2.
I really wonder how this got through QA in first place.
Cheers,
Michel

VLAN RUNNING Config fetch Failed

Hi;
I have running Ciscowork LSM 3.2 with RME Ver 4.3 and Running SNMP V3 on all device. Out of 134 device 12-13 shows me Vlan running Config fetch failed. Please also find the dcmaservice.log in attachment.
I already verify the Crediential number or times, I can access the devices from SSH and Telnet, on Cisco works RME shows Running and Startup Config success while VLAN Running Config fetch failed. and on some device it show following
Protocol and Platforms passed = TELNET , RMEIOS
trying for Telnet
Failed to get CmdSvc from DeviceContext....
Thanks,
Best regards;
Shoaib Ahmed

HI Shoaib,
Try ssh\telnet into the device manually and issue the command copy flash:vlan.dat tftp: and
enter the IP address of the LMS server? Does it work? If that works fine, try to increase
the tftp timeout.
This can be done under RME> Admin> System Preferences> RME Device Attributes.
if it failed with an Error as below :
%Error opening tftp: ............
Then check if there any firewall in between these device and LMS blocking TFTP as TFTP is the only protocal
that fetch the vlan.dat from the device.
Thanks--
Afroj

Config Fetch Failed

The error message below is from a device that I am trying to sync a configuration, device is using TACACS:
RUNNING
CM0151 PRIMARY RUNNING config fetch failed for ROUTER Cause: TELNET: Failed to establish a Telnet connection to
X.X.X.X Cause connection refused.
SSH: Same message as aboove except authentication failed on device 3 times.
ACTION: Check if protocal is supported and required on device package is installed.

The error about authentication is usually correct. Go to Common Services > Device and Credentials > Device Management, select the device in question, then export the credentials. Look at the CSV export, and take the username and password, and try to SSH to the device from the LMS server. Verify you can login and get into enable mode using the same credentials in DCR.

CiscoWorks-Config collection problem

Hi,
I have configured config collection on Cisco Works. But only one device's configuration has been succesfully collected, rest of the devices are showing failed.
check the log...showing telnet authentication failed 3 times. but I have checked the username and password configured on Cisco Works is perfect even the same username and password configured on the device, which configuration collection succeded.
Please give me some troubleshooting process so I can fix the issue.

yes..I have checked so many times...and username / password is ok....but still I am not able to fix the problem.....It the username and password is configured wrong , then it should work for one device,,,because the username and password is configured in Tacacs Server and same for all devices.

Config Test Failing in Mapping test

HI,
When I am executing config test in ID for an interface it is failing in Interface determination and mapping test. It does not giving any log.
Now the mapping for this is multimapping and used enhances Interface determination.
I tries with Payload XML both with and without the additional message message1 wrapper that gets generated for multimapping but am getting the same error.
Any idea if the config test is supposed to behave that way only for multimapping.
Thanks and Regards,
Himadri

Hi Prateek,
I am afraid this is not the answer.
Let me add the additional info.., the interface is working fine.....
However the config test fails... So there can not be any mistake with the interface,.
Also I have cross checked before posting.. this is not a cache problem...
THanks for the links though
Thanks,
HImadri
