LMS 3.2 and user tracking problem

rme 4.3.1
cm5.2.1
cv 6.1.9
dfm 3.2.0
ipm 4.2.0
portal 1.2.0
cs 3.3.0
cwasst 1.2.0
running on windows server 2008.
This was a clean bulid, and we imported all pertinent data from our old lms 2.6 server. This was in september 2010. Everything worked as expected and continues to work except for......
We are in an upgrade cycle for our 4500s. We are upgrading from 12.2.50-sg4 to 12.2.50-sg8, and also upgrading rommon to 12.2.31r-sga4.
It appears that user tracking is not working anymore for the upgraded 4500s. UT still runs, and works perfectly for all other devices, including the 4500s that have not been upgraded yet. I know this sounds goofy, but it really does seem to be the common denominator. I've checked the windows updates, package updates, etc in trying to figure out what made this happen. It really does all come back to upgrading to the above version. All aspects of this server are running great and as expected, it's just that UT for the upgraded 4500s isn't working anymore. I do run the logbackup script weekly (past experience has taught me to do this), and try and keep up with any patches or package updates, etc.
If anyone has seen something similar or can suggest anything, I'd appreciate it. I think I am going to have to open a case on this. Thanks - chris

Michel,
Indeed, it looks like that is the problem. I guess I was focused in on CW rather than the whole picture. But yes, indeed, if I walk the mac table for a vlan on a 4500 that has not been upgraded it works. If I do the same on an upgraded one, I get nothing.
The cautious optimism is that we do have a sup6 at our DR location that is running 12.2.53-sg1 and this test works on that switch. So as long as that
version isn't deferred, we'll test that on one of the older sups to verify.
So thanks for the help, I appreciate it - chris

  • LMS 4.0.1 User Tracking Problem "No end hosts found"

    Hi everybody,
    I have problems with devices that do not appear in the user tracking utility.
    These devices are a cisco WS-C4506-E with Supervisor II-Plus-10GE ​​and two WS-C6509 with Supervisor Engine 720.
    When I start acquisition for the devices I receive following message: "Device unreachable". When I try to watch the end hosts, I get following Message: "No end hosts found."
    I have patched LMS 4.0.1 with CSCto06189 Patch.
    Is there perhaps a solution?
    Roman

    400 devices - do you mean 400 end users?
    Do they all use a Layer 3 default gateway that is among your discovered and managed devices?
    Have you followed the steps and troubleshooting from around page 24 of this guide?

  • LMS 4.3.2 User Tracking cannot be started

    Hi everybody!           
    We are running LMS 4.3.2, it was running OK... but now we receive the following message:
    "User Tracking Major Acquisition cannot be started as Network Topology, Layer 2 Services and User Tracking are disabled."
    All processes are running. System restart and re-install the 4.3.2 update does not fix it. I think this happens after a device update, maybe FaultManagementDeviceUpdate... but not really sure
    Regards,
    CCNP R&S       

    Hi ,
    Go to  Admin > Getting Started >
    Device Allocation Settings   just make sure
    Network Topology, Layer 2 Services and User Tracking    should be CHECKED.
    If above is correct then send me the output of pdshow.
    Thanks

  • LMS 4.0.1 and User tracking with SNMP v3

    Hi! (again )
    I've another problem with our new LMS 4.0.1.
    We manage our devices with SNMP v3 but the user tracking don't want to work flawlessly.
    I've attached an example from our SNMP configuration. Basicly it's the same in our devices.
    1st the problem was that no matter what I did the User tracking didn't want to find any host. I left it and worked on something else. After 2 weeks suddenly appeard couple of thousand end host.
    As earlier (LMS 2.6 or 3.2 with snmp v2) it is the same that LMS cannot differentiate normal end host and IP Phones although we have several thousand from both. But this is only one problem.
    The other is that there are switches with the same IOS and SNMP configuration and from one I get the UT data and from another one I didn't get anything. Only from some 4506 (aprox. 12-15) and 6506 (2) works and we have 20+ 4506 and 10+ 6506. Not to mention the other switches (couple of houndred 2960 and 3750).
    I'll be grateful if somebody could advice what to do.
    Thanks

    Understanding Debugger Utility
    The utility displays a report on the reasons why User Tracking failed to discover end hosts on specific ports.
    In many cases, User Tracking may not perform as expected. This may be  because of problems in other LMS applications. For instance LMS Server  may have devices that are not discovered or inadequate VLAN discovery in  Topology Services.
    You can run the utility to troubleshoot problems, or provide the report  and log generated by the utility when you contact TAC for help in  diagnosing problems.
    The debugger utility uses the data collected by LMS Server and reports the reasons for the missing ports in User Tracking.
    This tool also has an SNMP component embedded which runs an SNMP query  for the table as a part of verification for SNMP failure. For example,  SNMP bugs in Catalyst operating system because of which User Tracking  may fail to discover devices.
    This generates an Action Report that you can use to analyze the data.
    The Debugger Utility:
    1. Checks the switch ports in a sequential order.
    2. Reports violation of basic rules for each of the missing ports such as link ports and trunk ports.
    3. Checks for SNMP retrieval of data, if the ports pass the validity check.
    4. Generates an Action Report suggesting possible remedial actions to retrieve the valid missing ports.
    Using Debugger Utility
    The Debugger Utility is available at $NMSROOT/campus/bin/ (where $NMSROOT is the directory where you have installed CiscoWorks).
    To run the Debugger Utility, run the command:
    utdebug -switch switch-ip -port port1[,port2 ...] [-export filename]
    where,
    switch is the switch to which the end hosts are connected.
    ports are the ports on the switch which have missing end hosts User Tracking.
    -export filename specifies  that the debug messages be stored in the file specified. If this option  is not used, the messages are displayed on the console.
    For example,
    utdebug -switch 10.29.6.12 -port 5/12
    utdebug -switch 10.29.100.10 -port Fa0/10
    utdebug -switch 10.29.6.14 -port Gi6
    Pretty sure you will find this and perhaps more in the build in help of LMS
    Cheers,

  • User tracking problem - lms 3.2

    Noticed a pretty weird one. LMS 3.2 on windows 2008.
    Everything had been running normally. A while back we noticed the user tracking
    tables diminishing, and found out it was due to a bug in the code we were running
    on our 4500s. So we started an upgrade cycle and the tables started growing again.
    UT runs fine, but there is nothing newer than Feb 25th. Even if I do a manual UT discovery
    it seems to run fine, but there are no new entries in the table, or rather nothing with the
    last seen date of today when I just ran it.
    I did do the usual, run the logBackup script, clean some other log files, I even rebooted
    the server, but it still doesn't update with any new UT entries. I have checked and can
    do snmpwalks per vlan on the cam tables, so I don't believe it's anything with the switches,
    I think this is something within UT or campus.
    I would be happy to send up any log files that might be useful. Thanks - chris

    Gaganjeet,
    that's interesting (and frustrating). In the screenshot I sent yesterday, the UT count is 12500. We should be well over 13000 end hosts.
    In doing a search through the UT.log, one of the IPs that is not showing up when I search user tracking is:
    2011/03/28 10:02:06 EvalTask-vmpsadmin-05 VmpsAdminSMFGetIpXlateTable: router=10.255.3.130 ip=10.242.9.15
    mac=00-19-99-91-a1-14 subnet=10.242.9.0 mask=255.255.255.0 vtp=PETERSACC_10.255.3.130(T) vlan=PETERS-C-USER-1
    vlan Index=1709
    It is clearly in the logfile. But if you refer to the attached screenshot titled peters-ut-screenshot, if I search on just 10.242, I get
    "no end hosts found". This site was brought online a couple weeks ago.
    The second screenshot, titled PACS-subnet, shows no end hosts found. This is due to the SW bug we found in 12.2.50-sg8 and
    the entries already having been purged. This switch was upgraded to 12.2.53-sg3 on March 14th so the entries should be showing
    up. I have not searched ut.log for this subnet. The bug we found with 12.2.50-sg8 was that an snmpwalk of the mac tables, per vlan,
    returned nothing. With 12.2.53-sg3, an snmpwalk of the mac tables per vlan does return the mac tables per vlan.
    The third screenshot is just searching on 10.255, which covers our datacenter. While there are a lot of entries, the "last seen" date
    is Feb 25th. As these servers are always on, I would expect to see the last seen date as yesterday when the last ut run was executed.
    I have not searched ut.log for any of these entries.
    So it does indeed appear that the ut discovery finds the end hosts. But when you pull up the user tracking utility to search, there is nothing newer
    than February 25th. I hope this helps.
    Thanks again for the help, I appreciate it - chris

  • CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1, user tracking acquisition problem.

    Hello.
    We are using Catalyst 3750 with 12.2(44)SE. We have two stack configured, one with IP routing enabled.
    When we try to run an Acquisition Action on IP routing enabled stack, from Admin> Collection Settings> User Tracking, the system replies with an error "Failed to start acquisition: Device unreachable. Please enter a valid device".
    Acquisition starts successfully when we try with the other stack.
    We are going to investigate!
    Any suggestions is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Regards.
    Andrea

    You aren't using SNMP v3 perchance are you? If you are, you need to use contexts. Reference this thread.
    Have you tried initiating a full data collection and been successful? Reference this thread.
    If neither of these suggestions works, the latter thread linked above has some more detailed troubleshooting suggestions.
    Hope this helps.

    Hello Andrea,
    just wanted to let you know that I have fixed that for our system. I reinitated the UT Database with the following command:
    /opt/CSCOpx/bin/perl /opt/CSCOpx/campus/bin/reinitdb.pl -restore -ut -all
    It's important to call perl with the full path, otherwise it will completely fail.
    Hope this will help you.

  • CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 and user tracking utility 2.0.

    Hello.
    We are using UTU 2.0 on more computers. For one of these we are unable to obtain results from search.
    How can I debug UTU?
    Thanks.
    Regards.
    Andrea

    UTU uses the same ports as a browser would to connect to LMS. 1741 and 443 depending on what is configured on the LMS side.
    You should test from that computer if the used port is open .

  • Prime Infrastructure 2.0 and User Tracking

    Hello
    I'm having a look at getting wired User Tracking working on Prime 2.0. I checked that it is supported in the following link:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps6504/ps6528/ps12239/guide_c07-729089.html                  
    I'm having a problem getting dynamic user tracking working for wired non-802.1x clients. The switches are configured for mac-notification traps and the config works fine for LMS.
    Another LMS User Tracking feature I'd link to get working in Prime 2.0 is CUCM intergartion where Prime would pull IP Phone extensions/names etc from CUCM.
    Are either of these User Tracking features supported in Prime 2.0 (or at least roadmapped) or should I stick with LMS 4?
    Thanks
    Andy

    I am gettng good non-802.1x wired user tracking info. see the screenshot below (click to expand).
    I don't have a CM so I can't comment on that bit.

  • LMS 4.2.2 User Tracking - IP resolving

    Hello,
    I have made a fresh install of LMS 4.2.2 and I have a problem with the user Tracking.
    My architecture :
    A pair of 4500-X running  Version 03.03.00.SG
    10 stack of 2960-S running IOS : 12.2.55.SE5
    The 4500-X are routing cores. Everything is running SNMP V3 and I have entererd the commands for each VLAN :
    snmp-server group SDIS03-GP-RW v3 priv context vlan-x write SDIS03-V-RW
    All equipments are seen correctly by LMS. My problem is the user Tracking does not show the IP Addresses, I only have the MACs. I suppose this is an issue with ARP Table of the 4500-X that are not dowloaded by LMS but I don't konw why.
    I have seen several post on the forum for similar problems but it do not seems to resolv mine.
    Thanks by advance for your ideas.
    Regards,
    Abel.

    I found a reference on the LMS Supported Devices Table:
    The following features are not supported:
    VRF Lite, LANE Management, User Tracking, VLAN Management
    Configuration Deploy Protocols: HTTPs
    Configuration Fetch Protocols: HTTPs
    I wonder if it's due to this fact (mentioned in the 4500-X IOS XE Release Notes):
    The following features are not supported on a Catalyst 4500-X Series switches:
    •CISCO-IETF-IP-FORWARD-MIB
    •CISCO-IETF-IP-MIB

  • LMS 4.0.1 user tracking issue

    Hi All,
    I have an interesting problem at one of my customers. They are using LMS 4.0.1, but they have a problem with user tracking with SNMPv3. They using a very simple SNMP configuration, wich is the following:
    access-list 80 permit x.x.x.x
    snmp-server group SNMPV3GROUP v3 priv write SNMPV3_VIEW access 80
    snmp-server view SNMPV3_VIEW iso included
    snmp-server view SNMPV3_VIEW mib-2 included
    snmp-server view SNMPV3_VIEW cisco included
    User name: SNMPV3USER
    Engine ID: 8000000903000014F2C38169
    storage-type: nonvolatile        active access-list: 80
    Authentication Protocol: SHA
    Privacy Protocol: AES128
    Group-name: SNMPV3GROUP
    snmp-server group SNMPV3GROUP v3 context vlan-X
    Now they have UT working well for their Ctalyst 4500 switches, and the half of the 6500s (They have 2950 switches as well, but for those UT with SNMPv3 is unsupported). So the problem is the following: they have 12 6500 switches, with the same IOS version (10 pieces of WS-C6506-E + SUP720-3B IOS: 12.2(18)SXF17 (IP Services), 2 pieces of WS-C6506 + SUP720-BASE IOS: 12.2(18)SXF17 (IP Services)). They have identical SNMP configuration on both devices. Based on the logs from LMS it seems that on the problematic switches for some reason LMS identifies the switchports as routed:

    I'm not sure why Campus looks at that port as a routed port, but I ignore the errors in the campus ANI logs as there are too many of them even when everything works.
    I always forget the OID (google knows it), but you best try to do an SNMP walk of the mac address table on the LMS server for a vlan you are interested in. Just to see if it can get it
    In CSCOpx\bin you find a snmpwalk.exe
    I'm not immediately sure why LMS would not be able to get that info via SNMP but it does narrow down on the root cause of your problem

  • LMS 4.2.4 User Tracking Acquisitions Info almost empty

    Hi ,
    I reinstalled lms because I had problems on the server, they are now more than a month that the new use but I have trouble seeing the hosts connected to a switch or rather I see only a few. The settings are identical to the old man all by default, but with the old man had acquired many hosts. I suggested a way to make a little troubleshooting. I attach screensshot.
    Thanks Emiliano
    the old had over 5000 acquisitions

    When a fresh installed LMS is working properly for all the modules, like Inventory, config, fault, performance etx, it could be something on this module which is responsible for Data collection.
    It doesn't have much data which can be lossed, it can be easily taken as the first step to verify and rule out any possibilites of DB not working properly.
    Also, you can share :
    NMSROOT\campus\etc\cwsi\portsData.xml
    NMSROOT\campus\etc\cwsi\RouterData.xml
    NMSROOT\campus\etc\cwsi\vlanData.xml
    These files have essential entries to be used by User tracking.

  • Campus manager user tracking problem

    Hi We are using LMS 3.0.1 and the campus manager verson is 5.0.2. We have two subnet which are used for the management ip of switch kept in two different geographical areas. I have made the entry of all devices kept in both subnets and all the devices are know device in DCR, RME and DFM. also after data collection the devices are shown in campus manager database. But I am not able to learn the end host details of the hosts connected to one of our segment.
    even if the perticular subnet is not appearing in "campus user tracking" as well as the devices belongs to the subnet. but I am getting all end host details from the second subnet.
    please help.

    Hi clarke,
    i have updated the cm to the latest but still it did not learn. Later i added the 10.188.7.x ip addresses manually in the discovery settings instead of " *.*.*.* " - ip range. Now i am able to see these devices in topology view > layer 2 veiw as connected devices & not seen in unconnected..
    Now i need to see the hostname, ip address etc details of these segments in UT acquisition window.... Secondly in topology view, the core switch is showing in "?" question mark symbol. This device is WS-C6509-E (sup-bootdisk:s72033-ipbase-mz.122-33.SXH3a.bin). I tried to delete this device from common services and added it again, there i selected "ws-c6509", i did not see the " ws-c6509-E".
    in Cisco site, the serial number of the device is showing as the device "VS-C6509E-S720-10G"
    Can u pls help me on this..

    Thanks for your advice.
    Now all my devices are connected in Layer View [Devices View], but User Tracking still not shows me informations from several switches about hosts. Its works like randomizer. Now 5 devices form User Tracking  don't show me informations.[WS3550 2 devices and 2  WS-C2960S-48LPS-L]. In lists devices Acquisition Action i check acquisition for this 5 devices.
