Does Cisco Prime Infrastructure supports monitoring CPU,Memory, HDD for UCS , VMWare?

Prime Infrastructure/ Assurance is positioned today more towards managing network elements and network performance, rather than server infrastructure. We are in the process of adding Datacenter component support, with more focus on Nexus and UCS- due later this year.
Having said that, Prime Infrastructure allows the system user to add custom SNMP polling templates, which can then be used for polling any SNMP based values from any SNMP enabled device. These can be used to collect the information you specified below and the polled information will be available in dashboards and reports.

Is cisco prime infrastructure support / can be run as syslog server?

Dear All,
is cisco prime infrastructure support / can be run as syslog server?
and,
where i can see network topology diagram, using cisco prime infrastructure?
many thanks,
Jerri

Hello. Cisco Prime LMS will be replaced by Cisco Prime Infrastructure in the near future.
In the current release of Cisco Prime Infrastructure you can't use topology diagrams. This feature is in roadmap.
About syslog, you can send syslogs to Cisco Prime Infrastructure, but I don't recommend using it as syslog server. Please see this link for more information https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2179520

Does Cisco Prime have support for HP Access Points?

I am trying to sell a solution to a client with dozens of large warehouses with a large existing HP wireless solution. I want to sell them on a Cisco wireless solution involving Prime to manage/monitor their current HP Access Points while we do a phased replacement to Cisco WLC and APs.
I cannot find listed in the documentation whether Cisco Prime has support for the HP access points though. I see it has 'some' support listed for some Aruba controllers, but not anything else.

Prime will only support products with a "Cisco" logo.
Note: Prime 2.2 will start supporting Meraki product.

Not normal, seems to be stuck. Try to stop (ncs stop) and start (ncs start) the system processes, which should stop this job.
If it happens again, i would recommend to open a TAC case for further investigation.

Cisco Prime infrastructure 2.0 cpu requirement

Hi,
i'm reading the doc at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2.0/quickstart/guide/cpi_qsg.html#wp46865
and I'm searching for the CPU requirement for a Standard installation. From table 2 in this document, I will need 16 virtual CPUS but there is no frequency mentioned. Does someone know what is the minimum CPU frequency to run PI 2.0 correctly?
Thanks
Theo

The number of vCPU's depends on your ESXi host, either your limited to 8 or you will have 16, 32, etc. The vCPU amount is defined on the VM or PI2.0 and you can change it after the VM has been installed. PI 2.0 has an Express (4 vCPU), Standard and Pro which require 16 vCPU. There is a custome express that uses the Express ova (4 vCPU), but you need to increase that to 8 vCPU. Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Scott

Cisco Prime Infrastructure multitenancy?

Hi can someone please give me an indication if Cisco Prime Infrastructure supports multitenancy? and if so how this is achieved?
I would like to monitor/managed multiple customers who may have overlapping private IP subnets
Thanks

Hi,
With CPI v2.0 there is a multi-customer license:
"L-PI2X-MSP-1 Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x Multicustomer 1 Customer RTU"
What is this license intended for?
Is it safe to assume that CPI v2.0 also does not support multi tenancy?
Then there is CPI v2.0 for Service Providers.
"R-PI2X-SP-K9 Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x Service Provider"
Is this version multi tenant capable?
What is the difference between the two?
Thanks.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 OVA - URL/FTP not working

The ESXi install of the theNCS OVA was successful. NCS seems to load and activate interfaces. The console session is working. Using compliant browsers; https://<ip address> does not work. When I stop "ncs" or halt the vm the web page responds shortly but then the connection is lost. I used "show ports" and tried https://<ip address>/8082 and get a login from the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Health Monitor URL. There is a prompt for the authorization key. How can I confirm the installation is complte and all services are up and running
Thanks
Terry

After digging almost 1 month, I found the answer.
When you do provision from ESXi with ova file, you have to create "Thick Provision" otherwise, you wiil have same problem such as "some services are not up"
In my case, I am running ESXi on the top of VM WorkStation since I don't have any ESXi server. When I added 250GB into the WorkStation and did provision with "Thick" it works !!!
Since my testing envrionment is little complicated (ESXi with VM WorkStation), I added first 250GB HDD into ESXi, and tried. It didn't work. So I added 250GB into VM WorkStation and did provision through Workstation, it worked (If you don't understand this statements, do not worry. If you have ESXi server, you don't need to worry about)
As far as cisco ova is concerned, when I talked to one of my my friend who was working for new ACS (Virtual Appliance) he had same issue. He also solved with "Thick Provision"
FYI, even if when I installed with "Thin Provision", PI 1.2 used only 10GB out of 200GB, so I did not think that I should use "Think Provision". But definitely not.

Is Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 or 2.0 compatible on UCS ?

hello, can we install Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 or 2.0 on UCS C22, C220M3 or NCS Hardware Appliance without using VMware ?
thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately, this isn't yet supported for Prime Infrastructure.
you have Installed VMWare first.

How to mornitor VSS (Virtual Switching System) & Stack (Switch) By Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Dear all,
I have 02 C6504-E with VSS (Virtual Switching System)
and 02 C3750X-24T-L used Stack
How to you Cisco Prime Infrastructure to monitor VSS & Stack tatus?
Thanks.

Virtual Switching technology is the process of combining two standalone distribution switches found in the local distribution layer into a single management point.
The Virtual Switching System functions and appears as a single switch to the wiring closet and the core layer. You can also create Virtual Switching Systems with a pair of standalone switches available in the core layer.
For configuration please check the below link:

Hi Aaziz,
Unfortunately this download of this file is not available anymore on cisco.com site.
As an alternative, you can download PI 1.3 OVA, where you can find the same features and
interface:

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 - SNMPv3 can´t get CPU, memory info.

Hi,
I have a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 deployment with Catalyst 2960S switches. Switches are running IOS 15.0(2) SE2. All switches have SNMPv2 configured, and all appears to be fine. I'm migrating one switch to SNMPv3, and PI have reachability to the switch, but PI doesn´t receive traps from the switch, and neither poll CPU and memory information (all displays 0.00%).
Somebody have a sample configuration of SNMPv3 with Cisco Prime (Infrastructure or LMS)? I cannot find a Cisco official (or unofficial) document related to this version, usually all mention SNMPv2.
Thank you.
Eduardo

Hi Eduardo:
SNMPv3 is indeed supported for general administration. There's a bug with SWIM using SNMPv3 (CSCud92758), but you should be fine for just monitoring. Have you deleted the switch, waited until Prime Infrastructure told you it was gone, then readded it as SNMPv3 natively? Bug CSCug78869 keeps things from working well when changing SNMP versions.
If you don't have the new Update-1 patch for Prime Infrastructure 1.3.0.20 installed (filename PI_1.3.0.20_Update_1-12.tar.gz) installed, I'd suggest you get it. While it's not going to specifically address this issue, there are a lot of really good fixes in it.

UPS monitoring support with Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2

Dear Members,
Good day,
I am having a project implemented wherein i have the UPS power redudancy solution for our network devices.
Now can anyone gide that is it possible for below :-
UPS units installed with SNMP cards be monitored via Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 as our monitoring & management solution is Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 ?
if yes
Can you guide if following action would be possible to export the below logs from UPS unit to our Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2
   a) UPS fault status information
   b) UPS operational status(input power available Y/N)
   c) Battery fault status
   d) Battery charging current
   e) Battery charge level
   f) Output current
Conclusion is we need to confirm that would it be posible to achieve remote monitoring of these UPS units via our CPI 1.2
Thanks in Advance for your support & replies to this query.
Regards,
Muzammil N.

Prime Infrastructure 1.2 can manage non-Cisco devices in a limited fashion via SNMP query and trap processing. It cannot import logs and does not have a generic syslog server,
So if your devices have snmp read only support and can generate SNMP traps for the above you can add them to PI. Follow the manual add device procedure here.

Monitoring ASA in Cisco Prime infrastructure 2.2

Hi everybody. I have some issue with cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2. We use this product in our network for monitoring network devices and I need to monitor also our ASA 5550 device with soft 8.4. I added ASA to Cisco PI but see only basic component like my device can reachable via and read via snmp. But cannot see CPU, RAM, Device ENV like Temperature, l2l vpn connection, Interfaces status and Utilization that interfaces, cannot see sub interface that placed on ASA like that g0/0.20. I need fully monitor ASA and See logs and trap for my device:
CPU RAM ENV (Temperature), Interface and sub interface status, L2L VPN Status.
1 Cisco Prime infrastructure can full support ASA for monitoring and logging.. IF YES how can i configure that features in Cisco PI 2.2 for ASA
2 IF not which product Can full support that features for full monitoring and logging ASA devices
I have a little deadline for finishing
thanks everybody before

I've not success monitoring ASA interface utilization either. I'm using PI 2.2 with device update #1. The ASA is a 5585-X with 9.2(3) software.
I have deployed the PI monitoring template to the ASA and do see its overall status and PI has enumerated the interfaces in the device page.
I even looked at a packet capture and see PI querying the values of the interface counters and those values being sent back to PI - yet I cannot select any ASA interface when drilling down under Performance Detail monitoring.
When I get some free time I will open a TAC case on it, meanwhile I am getting all the info I need from the upstream and downstream switches.

Cisco nexus 6001 not a supported device on cisco prime infrastructure 2.1?

I have installed Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 and Prime Infrastructure still doesn't seem to support the Nexus 6001 platform? Can someone tell me if Cisco Prime Infrastructure will ever support the Cisco Nexus 6001 platform or is there any plans to support it in any future device packs?

The Nexus 6001 isn't currently supported in PI 2.1. There's no workaround except to wait for a device or product update that adds support. Right now I know the 9000 series is on the 2.2 roadmap but I haven't seen any reference to the 6001 and PI.
Interestingly, Prime LMS does support both the 6001 and 6004. Reference.

Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 makes every 15 minutes cpu high on cisco 800 routers

I have an issue with cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 and cisco 880 routers, every 15 minutes the cpu goes to 100% on those routers, but I cannot find the job on the prime which is causing this, if I look in the job dashboard I have some jobs like sam_poller_22_15_getvpnpoller_27977292 that runs every 15 minutes (other jobs that I see CDBPoller_dmvpnPoller and CDBPoller_getvpnpoller) , probably is it on of these jobs, but how can I stop it (job type : poller job, owner =system) and what are they doing?
thanks for any assistance

This is what i expected. I know many platform like 29xx/39xx or ISR's has known issues with Cisco Prime Infrastructure when it polls CISCO-LICENSE-MGMT-MIB, devices go high on CPU.
You have to block clmgmtLicenseInfoEntry by creating a view on your 800 router by configuring snmp view.
Following is the command/example:
Step 1: Configure SNMP View:
snmp-server view iso included
snmp-server view clmgmtLicenseInfoEntry excluded
Link community string to SNMP View:
snmp-server community view ro|rw
Example per your configuration:
snmp-server view PrimeInfra iso included
snmp-server view PrimeInfra clmgmtLicenseInfoEntry excluded
snmp-server community ArgSnmp view PrimeInfra RO ACLSNMP_RO
OR you can try following on your Cisco PI:
Manually update file below,
Open the /opt/CSCOlumos/conf/sam/template.xml, modify the template id=20 (licensePoller)
Update tag for value 600 to 86400 for all attrributes () of
template id =20
Old: 600
New: 86400
Some known bugs on such issues are :
CSCug97914 and CSCuc72024
Please check and let me know the updates.
