Installing LMS problems

When we replaced our Nortel 8600s with Catalyst 4507s last year we also purchased LMS as a replacement to Nortel's Enterprise Switch Manager. ESM was extremely easy to configure and use but LMS seemed overly complicated in comparision. I installed it but gave up configuring it. Now I'm revisiting it and would like to get it up and running but have run into lots of problems installing it let alone trying to configure it.
Last year I had a W2K3 server that I installed LMS4.0 on. It was pretty easy to install and worked straight away with no problems that I remember. Now I have a W2K8R2 server and when I attempted to install LMS4.0 it said it was not a supported OS. I found an official Cisco patch that I ran and selected the LMS4.0 setup.exe when requested. This installed but all services were set to manual. Starting the services worked but the web page would still give a 503 (I think) error. I uninstalled and attempted to run the patch and select setup.exe but it would not go any further and would not let me install it.
I then managed to download LMS4.2.1 and attempted to install it on the same W2K8R2 server but it fails almost immediately with
"ERROR: The file with the name C:\PROGRA~2\CSCOpx\setup does not exist". I've tried the obvious like restarting the server but it still fails?
I could build a new W2K8R2 server (virtual) and try again. Maybe the failed LMS4.0 installation is screwing something up?
Any ideas?

Seems the residuesn of LMS 4.0 are creating issue. Try to run the clean_system.exe to remove everything related to ciscoworks and also see the registry if any CIsco related folder is still under Computer/HKLM/Software.
LMS 4.2.1 is an incremental patch which requires LMS 4.2 to be installed previosly. You can try to install LMS 4.2 directly which should work, but LMS 4.0 and LMS 4.2 have diffrent individual licenses.
If you got your LMS software with SAS contract, there are chances you can get LMS 4.2 software for free, but check with your accounts team for more details on it.
If you prepared Win2k8 server as VM, i guess it will be much easier to deply it from scratch if you have a template.

UCS support for ISO install LMS 4.1

Hi,
can we install the ISO LMS 4.1 directly on a UCS platform?
What platform UCS is supported?
Do you have install experiences you can share?
Is the ISO LMS 4.1 a Linux implementation?
kind regards
Ad

I installed it onto of Windows 2006 R2 on a UCS C200 M2.
You can turn anything into an iso, it just a format of how things are writen on a disk. That's why you can mount and iso file as a disk.
The linux version comes as an ".ova " virtual appliance you can load into a VMware host.
I think the machine could probably run an ESX server and run 2 or 3 LMS servers depending on the number of devices to manage.
For performance reasons buying a bigger box won't help. I've installed LMS on pretty heavy systems and GUI performance remains bad.
I think the problem is with the tomcat part of things. That process is responsable for the web gui. AFAIK Cisco provides no guidance on this.
Cisco says performance will be better in the next version as usual.

When trying to uninstall iTune (because the current install has problems), I get the error message 2324. What should I do to reinstall the application?

When trying to uninstall iTune (because the current install has problems; iTune error message states it cannot sync and that I should reinstall the application; also, it fails when I tried to upgrade to the latest release), I get the error message 2324. What should I do to reinstall the application?

That installer error is a "Can't open file" error
It suggest that you may have a corrupt file.
Try running a disk check
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
If it fixes errors try uninstalling iTunes again.
If that doesn't work, is it possible for find out the name of the problem file, is further information available? Try looking in your Action center - that's on the control panel. Another place is in the Windows Error logs. From the start menu , right click on "Computer" and select manage, then Event viewer.
If nothing emerges, try a manual uninstall of iTunes and related programs according to this method:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Don't worry if an uninstall fails, that is expected. Go on to the part where you have to delete files (2. Verify iTunes etc completely deleted) . Hopefully you manage to find a file that can't be deleted, that is the one we will need to deal with.

CS1 Install/Uninstall Problems ?

I can't uninstall CS1, nor can can I reinstall Photoshop from CS1, which is presently not installed. My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium. I am out of warranty and Adobe will not provide suppport. I have read all I can find about FLEXnet licensing suspecting there is a connection. When I try to either install or uninstall CS1, I get an error message from Microsoft saying that "Adobe CS1 installer has stopped working". There is no other information unless I open the Adobe File folder for Photoshop from CS1 that I saved to my desktop. I can initiate the install procedure from that folder, but when prompted for the original product serial number a message states that the serial number I have provided is invalid. I have talked with Adobe however, and their records indicate that I have a valid serial number.
I have gone to "Services" using the administrative tools in the control panel and tried setting FLEXnet Licensing on manual, then on automatic, and finally disabling it temporarily. I have gone to the Start Up menu on the desktop and entered "msconfig" in the search box and gone to services where FLEXnet was at first "stopped" and is now "running".
On some forums there are recommendations to first copy and save FLEXnet to another area of the hard drive, then delete it altogether from its original location, and then uninstall ALL Adobe software in the computer before reinstalling everything. Other contributors strongly caution the removal of FLEXnet, and some users have complained of ongoing problems after deleting FLEXnet. Firstly, I'm not sure I can figure out how to copy and save FLEXnet to another drive, and secondly I'm afraid of the possible results. Even if I can accomplish those tasks I don't know if that procedure will then allow me to either uninstall the portion of CS1 still in my computer, or reinstall the Photoshop that presently won't install. By the way, all the CS1 programs that remain in my computer are operational. Photoshop is the only missing component.
I am not well versed in technology, and much that I read in the forums is only partially comprehensible to me. If you have the patience and knowledge to help me unravel this mess I would love your help. Thanks. Harrison

Thank you Bob. It was very nice of you to write. I have been using CS1 with Vista since Vista came out. I'm aware that compatibility is considered a significant issue. Fortunately, I never had any problems until now, although I would have replaced CS1 with a more recent and compatible version if money were not part of the equation for me.
Adobe told me that if I bought the CS5 they would help me straighten out any issues now caused by the CS1, but otherwise they would not help. I did not think to ask if Adobe has designed CS5 to be compatible with Vista, but I will. I may buy the more recent version out of necessity, but it does not seem unreasonable to me that Adobe should help someone with a valid serial and registration number access their software regardless of warranties. The problem at hand seems to be a glitch in the licensing application provided by FLEXnet that I presume protects Adobe from unauthorized use of their products. I am wondering how much this situation actually has to do with system compatibility, given that I have been using the software for roughly two years with Vista, or whether it is simply that Adobe's FLEXnet licensing shield can work against legitimate users under certain circumstances. Adobe did not mention FLEXnet to me, but I would like to know one way or the other if FLEXnet is at the core of the problem.
Thank you again Bob for writing. I may wipe my OS clean and reload everything. I suspect the CS1 might work then, but I do realize that CS1 is old by technological standards, in spite of the fact that I would gladly continue to use it. I am among those people that find the cost of keeping current very difficult, and I find it exasperating that so many products and services become obsolete very rapidly when considering their relative cost. Have a nice weekend.
Best Regards,
Harrison

Error when installing LMS 4.2.1

Hi,
I built a new Win2k8 server meeting all prereq's. This is a new install of LMS. Right at the beginning of the install process, i get this error and the install halts.
Any thouhgts?
Thanks in advance.

Please confirm if this error is seen while installing LMS 4.2.1? I assume the newly built server has LMS 4.2 already installed, as it is mandatory.
Also, I would urge to follow this guide and see you adhere to all the mentioned points :

I've thought as an option to re-download boot-camp and run the instalation from windows partition and see if i can repair it that way, didnt try yet thought just in case anyone has a better prposition or dealed with the same problem

Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
Good luck.

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

New Install: dbca problem on ubuntu 10.04

Hello List,
I want to install Oracle 11gR2 on my Ubuntu box which is running 10.04 Lucid:
oracle@z2:~/oh$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
oracle@z2:~/oh$ uname -a
Linux z2 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 06:07:29 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
The above command suggests to me that I am running 32bit Linux.
I downloaded the 32bit Oracle cdroms.
I read this link:
- http://www.pythian.com/news/13291/installing-oracle-11gr2-enterprise-edition-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/
I carefully followed the instructions there.
The instructions there are for 64 bit Linux. Like I said, my box is 32bit.
Here are the results of my libstdc++5 shoehorn-install:

oracle@z2:/usr/lib$
oracle@z2:/usr/lib$
The instructions suggest that I install some debian packages.
Here are my results for that task:
root@z2:/oracle/downloads/database# apt-get install unzip build-essential x11-utils rpm ksh lsb-rpm libaio1

unzip is already the newest version.
build-essential is already the newest version.
x11-utils is already the newest version.
rpm is already the newest version.
ksh is already the newest version.
lsb-rpm is already the newest version.
libaio1 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
The instructions described a software-only install so I did that.
I bumped into no problems.
After the install,
I added env vars to my .bashrc and got a new bash:

Adobe AIR Seamless Install Badge PROBLEM

Hello,
my air badge installation stop working few days back (do not know exactly how many).
Has anybody else this issue here?
Any advice probably.
Thanks

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the Reply.
After quite a bit more testing and some digging around under the hood, I've solved the problem. Below is what I found out, hopefully this will help others out with the same problem:
When downloading Air and the Air app in one go using the install badge, trying to open an SQL connection was throwing errors on most machines (it was not limited to Macs alone). If i down loaded Air separately, then installed the app with install badge (with air already installed) it worked on some machines.
The error was caused by trying to create the database file at the wrong in the file system:
// Causes Errors some machines.
var dbFile:File =File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath (databaseName);
// Works fine.
var dbFile:File =File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath (databaseName);
I'm not sure why the different installation process showed up the errors on some machines and not others, but it's fixed now.
Hope this helps.

HP 3550 re-installation problems

WIN XP-sp3 on Compaq DC5750, 3GB Ram, larger hard drive, no other problems.
Had a crash a few months ago and d/l (from HP site) drivers for my Deskjet 3550... that worked swell, except they were in Spanish!
So, tonite I decided to d/l the ENU verzion from HP and install the drivers so the printer and I spoke the same language... And the fun began.
The instructions were to d/l the package, put it in a certain directory on the C:/ drive (which I did) then connect the USB cord to the printer and when the install wizard appeared, tell it not to search, direct the program to the directory/exe file and sit back and watch the printer work.
Nope.
I already was connected to the computer and figured the re-install would just over-write the existing drivers.
Nope.
Tried to print a test page and the test page simply hung up... Nothing happened. So I tried to delete the test page.... Even less happened.
Seems no matter what I try to do now I can't get there.
Thought I'd delete the printer entirely, unplug it and go with instructions "A"... 'cept that the print spooler is STILL trying to print that bloody test page, even if I restart the box (several times) to kick it out. As a result, the following happens:
Can't go to "printers and Faxes" and delete the drivers, 'cos the printer is "in use by another program", even tho it's disconnected from the computer at present. I assume that that means the drivers are still trying to print that test page......................(Remember the test page?)................but with no discernable result.
Now, to add insult to injury, the silly buggar is asking for "hpfmom09.hlp" from the HP installation CD. If only I KNEW where the (censored) CD had got to, we'd not be reading this drivel, innit?
I'm a bit puzzled as to how to fix this, short of 3 ounces of Geglinite or resorting to a restore point para printar en espanol...
So, O My Droogies, what hast thou that thou wouldst recommend to your wayward Brother?
(I DO like the Geglinite, but Guy Fawkes is a ways off yet...)

Hmmmm.... no help? I'm still speaking Spanish with the printer but I seem to have solved (don't ask me how) the other problems.
I'd REALLY like to get this thing back to speaking English, however.
Any thoughts at all would be appreciated!

9.2.2 install/move problem with G4 QS 2002

My problem is: 10.5 doesn't support/have the "Classic Environment" and I don't want to risk screwing up having a bootable 9.2.2 OS by the 10.5 installation, so I'd like to have the "System 8.6 - 9.2.2" partition be able to boot 9.2.2 instead but I haven't been able to achieve that yet.
What I've tried is:
1. Booted into 9.2.2 and attempted to do a copy but when booted into 9.2.2, it doesn't "see" the target partition because I don't let it reformat the partitions that it doesn't recognize such as the "System 8.6 - 9.2.2" partition when I boot into 9.2.2, so that partition and a few others are not mounted when I boot into 9.2.2 (I might let it reformat it if I can be sure which of the partitions it wants to reformat is which).
2. I created an image of the 9.2.2 bootable partition with Tiger's Disk Utility and tried to restore it with the "System 8.6 - 9.2.2" partition as the target. It didn't want to do that. I booted with the Tiger install DVD and restored the bootable 9.2.2 image to the "System 8.6 - 9.2.2" partition (selected the "Erase target" option). I restarted the Mac and I notice that the restored system folder is not graphically "blessed". I can choose the "System 8.6 - 9.2.2" partition as the startup disk but it won't boot and instead the Mac eventually boots another OS. If I restart and hold down the option key, I can see that there are two bootable volumes labeled "Leopard", the original one and the restored one which in the Finder and Disk Utility is labeled "System 8.6 - 9.2.2" but it won't boot with the "System 8.6 - 9.2.2" partition that way either.
3. I put the special version of the QS 2002 specific System 9 install CD into the DVD drawer, restart, and held down the "C" key, but the Mac eventually booted another OS. I booted into 9.2.2 and tried to launch the install SW but it couldn't see the "System 8.6 - 9.2.2" partition (see #1 above) and neither could any of the System 9 disk utilities with the CD. I boot Tiger, launch "Classic Environment" and try to run the installer but after a few screens it complains regardless if I let it do a clean install or update the restored 9.2.2 from the Leopard partition.
The options I think I have at this time are:
1. Boot into 9.2.2 and let it reformat the "System 8.6 - 9.2.2" partition if I can determine which partition it is and try the various steps again hoping that one will work.
2. Install 10.5 into the Leopard partition and hope that it doesn't screwup the ability to boot 9.2.2 afterwards.
3. Install 10.5 into the "System 8.6 - 9.2.2" partition, which is half the size of the Leopard/Tiger/Panther partitions, and live with the smaller size (or try a partition utility like iPartition, DiskStudio, or hope that the DU with 10.5 can resize partitions without really deleting them first).
4. Do what I did originally, locate my System 9 install CD, see if I can still boot with it and install a generic System 9 into the "System 8.6 - 9.2.2" partition and update the SW with the QS 2002 specific System 9 install CD so it is bootable.
5. Try a cloning utility like CCC, SuperDuper, etc. and hope it works better than creating an image and restoring it (isn't that how Apple intends for us to do backups and recoveries?).
6. Back up everything even though making images doesn't seem to be foolproof, repartition the HD and reinstall/restore (I don't like this since I don't seem to have the image/restore process working to my liking and this would take a very long time (maybe 10.6 will be shipping by the time I'm done but I doubt if it Apple will support G4's with 10.6)).
OR somebody tells me what I'm doing wrong or why my efforts don't work or what is the process that achieves my end state.
TIA.

Hi, barubin -
If a volume (volume = an unpartitioned drive, or a partition of a partitioned one) does not mount when the machine is booted to OS 9, this usually means the drive or the volume does not have OS 9 drivers installed. This usually results when the drive was last formatted using OSX's Disk Utility to initialize the drive, and the option to install OS 9 drivers was not selected.
Article #106849 - Disk Is Available in Mac OS X But Not in Mac OS 9
If a volume does not mount when the machine is booted to OS 9, then OS 9 can not be installed on it using an OS 9 Install CD (since it is not available to, can not be 'seen' by, the installer app); and it can not be used as an OS 9 boot volume (if OS 9 can not mount the volume, then OS 9 on it can not mount itself).
The above article suggests one possibile way to recover from that without re-initializing the drive - boot the machine to OS 9, run Drive Setup. Select the drive in question (Drive Setup can not do this for a single partition of a partitioned drive), then choose Update Driver from the Functions menu. Note that this is a non-destructive function - no data will be lost from the drive whether or not it works. If it does work, the drive, and its partitions, will then be mounted on the desktop.
Unfortunately that recovery method rarely works, and it then becomes necessary to redo the partition or the drive.
This can be done using OS 9's Drive Setup, but only on a whole-drive basis - Drive Setup can not re-initialize a single partition of a partitioned drive.
It can also be done using OSX's Disk Utility; Disk Utility may be able to redo a single partition of a drive (I don't use OSX so can not test that), but it is probable you would need to redo the entire drive. Be sure to select the option to install OS 9 drivers when using Disk Utility - that option is not always selected by default.
In either case select Mac OS Extended as the format.
<hr>
OS 9 has a boot limitation - the volume it is on can not exceed 200GB. 190GB is a safe max volume size to pick for an OS 9 boot volume when partitioning a drive.
<hr>
The installation of OSX (any version) on an OS 9 boot volume should have no effect on the OS 9 install or its bootability, provided the install method is a simple installation (no Archive and Erase, etc.).
<hr>
It is not necessary to use a cloning utiity to move/copy OS 9 to a different volume or drive, and have it be usable. OS 9 can be installed -
• From an Install disk valid for the machine
• Or by doing a simple Finder copy of it - drag the OS 9 Syatem Folder (and its associated folders, such as Applications (Mac OS 9) and Documents) to the target volume and let go, letting Finder copy it there.
Usually a copied OS 9 System Folder is usable immediately.
Occasionally it will arrive unblessed - it will not display the Mac OS glyph on top of the folder icon. The solution for that is to re-bless it. This can be done one of two ways (best done while booted to OS 9) -
• Open the System Folder, double-click the file System to open it. Close System; close the System Folder.
• Drag the files Finder and System out of the System Folder; close the System Folder. Drop the files Finder and System back into the closed System Folder.
