LMS 4.0 and Prime Infrastructure..!

Hi,
I am using LMS 4.0 and as the licenses got expired I came to know that I need to buy Prime Infrastructure license as LMS 4.0 reached End of life.
So now if I buy the prime infrastructure licenses, will it work on LMS 4.0 or I need to upgrade? and how can I get the upgrade?
Thanks..!

You would need to upgrade.  Prime Infrastructure 1.2 has LMS and WAN buildt in.
Thanks,
Scott

  • Prime LMS 4.2 to Prime Infrastructure 2.0 license migration

    A couple of months ago I upgraded WCS to Prime Infrastructure (WCS via NCS to PI 1.2 at that time). Meanwhile PI is running version 2.0. For some reason, when purchasing the upgrade licenses, I also got a 500 device LMS4.2 upgrade license.
    The exact part numbers were:
    R-W-PI12-M-K9 WCS 7.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Migration
    R-PI12-BASE-K9 Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Base License and Software
    L-PI12-LF-500-LIC Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Lifecycle - 500 Device Lic PAK
    L-PILMS42-500-M Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 - 500 Device Upgrade Lic
    I have a virtual LMS appliance running where I installed the 500 device license I mentioned. I've actually never used LMS but that's a different story...
    As I'm running low on PI device licenses (lifecycle licenses to be precise), the question is:
    Is there an officially supported scenario to migrate these 500 LMS 4.2 licenses (that are already the result of a license upgrade) to PI 2.0?
    If so: what part numbers do I need to purchase? I suppose I need
    R-L-PI2X-U-K9 LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x Upgrade
    plus
    (L-L-PI2X-500-U LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x Lifecycle Upgrade 500 Device)
    XOR
    (L-L-PI2X-500-UP LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x Lifecycle Upgrade with PASS 500 Device)
    Maybe someone can comment on that... thanks in advance.

    In case anyone is facing the same issue:
    Meanwhile, I finished the upgrade process using the following part numbers:

  • Netshow and Prime Infrastructure 2.2

    Dear all,
    We have a testinstallation running Prime Infrastructure 2.2
    Is there any way to use netshow in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2?
    In LMS we could run a cli command on multiple devices and export the output… I’m missing (or did not found) this function in PI2.2…

    Is there a road-map for cleaning up some of these things. The Sylog was a lot nicer to look at in LMS. I think a lot of us still have to run LMS to get things we needed. 

  • WS-X45-SUP8-E and Prime Infrastructure 4.2.5

    Hi all,
    we have installed a catalyst 4510R+E with two WS-X45-SUP8-E.  Prime Infrastructure 4.2.5 cisco view didn't show the supervisor engines with any ports or statistics. They are only shown as "Supervisor". If I use the Cisco Network Assistant utility, the two engines are shown as "unknown".
    How can I monitor the engines?
    Regards,

    Hello,
    i changed the patches between 2 switches and now we got the error on a other switch. so the fiber between the core and access switches is giving the problems.
    in the on coming weeks where going to replace the fiber cable.
    MANY THANKS!!!

  • Prime LMS 4.2 Vs Prime Infrastructure 2

    Hi All,
      I am working on a project and was looking for a better solution for doing the monitoring of their Cisco network. The environment comprises of around 350+ Wired devices and couple of AP and wireless controllers.  They currently use Cisco Wireless CS solution.
    While analysing, i saw that cisco is coming up with Infra 2.0 and it is projected as replacement solution for LMS going forward.
    Is it better to go with infrastructure 2.0 instead of LMS 4.2 considering that this project may last for another  3+ years ?
    I am looking for some expert openion from the experts in this forum..
    Skr.

    Have a look at the comparison guide posted here.
    Right now,  there are still a couple of things you cannot do with PI 2.0 that you can with LMS 4.2. Cisco projects more things will be rolled into PI 2.1, but then that remains to be seen. Early 2014 is the latest projection I've heard for that.
    One upside is the license for LMS is still included with new PI purchases based on this feature gap. So you can cover your bets and use PI 2.0 for wireless management (getting all the heritage and capability of WCS / NCS) while using LMS (with the CiscoWorks functionality and large knowledge base and documentation set built-in) for wired management. It's a bit messy to run two systems and they have do be on separate hosts (or VMs) but that gives you the broadest functionality right now.
    Going forward, PI is where the Cisco developers will be working - i.e. we won't see an LMS 5.0 (or maybe even 4.3, TBD). All the new features will be developed for PI; so there's that to consider as well.
    The problem I see is that even if PI 2.1 closes the feature gap completely, there's still not going to be the knowledge base for a while getting all the tips and tricks figured out. The PI 2.0 documentation, for example, while an improvement over 1.x, still falls way short of that provided for LMS - by an order of magnitude in my estimation.

  • Upgrade Cisco Prime LMS 4.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1

    My company has asked me to migrate Prime LMS 4.0 to Prime Infrastructure 2.0 for a client and can not find the guide, the questions are? the migration is possible without an intermediate step? and There is a guide to update LMS 4.0 to PI 2.0 ??
    Thanks in advance.

    Prime LMS 4.2.2 added support for the PI template directly:
    Export Data for Prime Infrastructure
    Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution supports data migration to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. This feature enables user to export the Device Credentials Repository (DCR) data from LMS 4.2.x versions to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. The data backup status and backup location are displayed at the bottom of the Export Data for Prime Infrastructure page. The data being exported from LMS and the data imported back to PI are listed as follows.
    Data exported from LMS
    •Device Credentials Repository (DCR)
    •Software Image Management
    •Config Archive
    •Change Audit
    •Syslog
    Data Imported to PI

  • LMS 4.1 (Windows) & NCS 1.1 (VM) Upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2

    Hi All,
    Im getting a bit confused about the whole upgrade migration process for the following config to Cisco Prime Infrastructure:
    LMS - Version 4.1 , 500 devices. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1
    NCS – version 1.1 , 50 devices  Red Hat Linux ( 64 Bit)  (Installation software - NCS-VA-1.0.1.4-small.ova)
    I want to be able to backup databases and migrate licensing from LMS and NCS to one platform. Does anyone have experience of this and could possible guide me thorugh this process. LMS has SAS and NCS has SAU.
    Help will be very much appreciated!!   

    It's a couple of steps but can be done. You may want to reconsider getting off of LMS since the latest Prime Infrastructure (PI 1.2) does not have full feature compatibility with the latest LMS (4.2.3). Have a look here for the comparison.
    If you still want to do it:
    1. Upgrade your NCS to PI 1.2 (instructions). If you're going with a total of 550 devices on a combined license you should use the medium ova file to get the correct server resource allocation. You will need to get the new license from the TAC or via the licensing portal. I'm not sure if you can get the PI license for your LMS upgrade directly via the portal but you do have the entitlement for LMS 4.2 and PI 1.2 (combined licenses not to exceed the original LMS number) if your SAS is current. You may need to contact the TAC and ask for the licensing team.
    2. Upgrade your LMS to 4.2 and patch it to 4.2.2 (instructions). Once you've done that, there is a simple menu command to export your device credentials to Prime (Admin, System, Export Data to PI in LMS and then Operation, Device Work Center, Bulk Import in PI - instruction on Page 18 here). Do that and then in the new PI installation import the devices.
    Verify everything is working and you can decommission the LMS server.

  • Cisco Prime network and cisco prime infrastructure

    Hi,
    What is the difference between Cisco Prime Network and Cisco Prime infrastructure.
    Please advice.

    I assume you are asking about Cisco Prime LAN Management System (LMS) vs. Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI).
    LMS is currently the leading Cisco offering for wired infrastructure management. It is the evolution of the earlier CiscoWorks LMS, CiscoWorks RWAN CiscoWorks 2000, CWSI, VLAN Director, original CiscoWorks classic etc. products going back almost 20 years.
    PI is the equivalent Cisco offering for wireless LANs and is the successor to NCS and WCS products.
    The overlap and confusion comes from the fact the Cisco is positioning PI as the overall wireless and wired management platform and gradually introducing wired network management features to make it equal (and eventually exceed) LMS's capabilities.
    There is a comparison table here that shows the current differences. A major new release of PI (2.0) is due out shortly which will close many (but not all) of the gaps on that table.

  • Migrate from Prime LMS to Prime Infrastructure

    I'm currently running CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 on Windows 2003 under VMware and just got upgrade licensing for Prime Infrastructure 1.2.  I am assuming that I will need to upgrade the current server to Prime LMS 4.2 in order to ensure that data migration to Prime Infrastructure goes well.  I am planning to follow Cisco's recommendation to run Prime LMS and Prime Infrastructure in parallel for a time and migrate individual functions.
    My real question is about Syslog handling.  All of the managed devices are currently sending Syslog data to LMS.  As a last step in the migration, is it possible to change the IP address of the Prime Infrastructure server to replace the Prime LMS server so that the Prime Infrastructure server will just start getting all the Syslog data, or do I need to go change hundreds of managed devices to point to a new address?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Putting LMS up against Prime Infrastructure is like comparing Apples to Oranges.
    LMS is a very mature product and Prime Infrastructure is in it infancy stages...
    My suggestion would be to leave the current LMS system up and running; bring a Prime Infrastructure server up with a Demo License; add a few of each type of device to your Prime Infrastructure server; setup a proof of concept scenario to prove you can do everything in Prime as you can do in LMS.

  • Understanding licenses/PAK - LMS/Prime Infrastructure.

    Hi,
    I purchased an upgrade LMS 3.2 to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 and one more license for 300 devices.
    I received 6 differents PAK numbers for:
    Cisco Systens - R-PI12-UP-K9
    L-PI12-LF-300-LIC - Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Lifecycle - 300 Device Lic PAK
    L-PILMS42-300-U - Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 - 300 Device Maj Upg Lic
    R-PI12-BASE-K9 - Prime Infrastructure 1,2 Base License and Software
    Cisco Systens - R-PI12-K9
    L-PI12-LF-100-LIC - Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Lifecycle - 100 Device Lic PAK
    L-PILMS42-100 - Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 - 100 Device Base Lic
    R-PI12-BASE-K9 - Prime Infrastructure 1,2 Base License and Software
    I'll need to download 6 .lic files and install all?
    Thanks.

    PI and LMS are both entitled products with your upgrade. You may install one, the other or both (but on separate hosts).
    When you install either, you will need to use your Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) to download two license files - one for the base 100 devices and another for the 300 devices. You will need to do this separately for each product.

  • 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.

  • Is VSS supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2?

    Is VSS supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2?

    VSS support (converting standalone switches into a VSS)  was introduced with LMS 3.0.1 if I remember well and it is still there in LMS 4.2 (Cisco Prime Infrastructure):
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.1/user/guide/configuration/configvss.html
    Config Mgmt is supported, also.

  • Syslog Email forwarding on Cisco Prime Infrastructure

    Hi everybody,
    We are performing a migration from LMS 4.2 to Prime Infrastructure 2.1 and we are realizing that some features are not in this new platform.
    I suspect that one of them is syslog forwarding by email. In our old LMS we collect some syslog messages, we filtrate them and we email some of them, based on a criteria. Some of them we email to someone, and some of them are droped.
    Does someone know if this feature is avaliable in Cisco Prime? I think we can collect syslog messages and view them, but we can not process. Am I right?
    Regards and thank you in advance,
    David

    Hi David,
    Yes , unfortunately  so far syslog forwarding is not supported. 
    Also so far only SEV 0.,1 and 2 syslogs are supported in PI. Hoping to have these features in PI 2.2
    Thanks-
    Afroz
