LMS 4.0, Support for Nexus VDC

Hi everybody,
Does LMS 4.0 support the management of Nexus 7000 VDCs?
I don't need it do be able to do anything complex. I was just interested in syslog, polling, and config fetches. I can poll and ping the management IPs of the VDCs from the command line of the server itself, but it stays questioned and "UNKNOWN" in the device list.
The admin context of the Nexus 7000s are being added just fine. We recently built 4.0, coming from LMS 2.6. LMS 2.6 appears to add the VDC to the DCR without issue, but 4.0 does not. I just want to make sure that I'm not missing something.
Thanks for the help!
Tim

Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 - Support for Cisco Catalyst 3560-C Series Switches

Hello together
I have a customer which uses the following switch. Last year I have installed LMS 4.1 for him to manage the switches. Unfortunatly the switch model is not supported. According to the information found on the following site the switch is supported for most of the modules in LMS:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.1/device_support/table/lms41sdt.html
The oid object of the device is the following: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1465
Supported Software: 12.2(55)EX (Customer has 12.2(55)EX3
Version Support Type: Device Update
So I updated all device updates I was able to find.
Step 1: For that I went to Admin > System > Software Center > Schedule Device Downloads and created a job where I have downloaded the latest versions of all packages.
Step 2: Installed the downloaded packages Admin > System > Software Center > Device Update and installed all the packages.
Unfortunatly I don't see the same result like described in the Supported Device Table for LMS 4.1.
- Cisco View -> works
- Inventory and Config Collection -> works
- Fault Monitor not working -> Error Code Unsupported
- Network Topology Layer 2 Services -> Device Type ciscoProducts.1465, Symbol Question Mark
- VLAN Management -> Doesn't work
- User Tracking > seems also not to work
When I open the report for supported devcies (Reports > System > Device Support) and search for C3560C... I find the following devices, but not mine which i need:
C3560C-8PC-S     .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1466
C3560CG8PC         .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1317
C3560CCG8TC     .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1318
wsC3560CPD8ptS     .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1368
Does anybody have experience with the same switch type / model? Am I doing something wrong or is this type of switch not implemented correctly till now? Further the docuemntation supported devices would be wrong.
Thanks for any feedback Erich

Thanks but I just heard back from my Cisco SE and he assures me that an AP will NOT use up a license.
I've asked him to verify his answer for me.
Is your answer based on real world expereince (the best there is)? That is, are you running Prime LMS 4.1 and does it indeed use up a license for each light-weight AP it discovers & manages?
Thanks for mentioning options 1-3 but I do not wish to employ any of them. I don't mind buying the additional licenses for APs ... I just need to know if I have to or not.

Support for Nexus syslogs

I am about to turn up some new Nexus switches, and am curious if anyone else has tried using MARS to discover and collect syslogs from NX-OS. If you've tried it, what was your experience? Are the Nexus syslogs close enough to IOS syslogs to at least let MARS understand most?
If it's a no-go, is there planned support for NX-OS in an upcoming MARS release?
Thanks.

I note Nexus syslogs are still not supported in CS-MARS v6.1.x Revised: January 27, 2011
With CS-MARS product now end of sale June 2011, should I hold out any hope of a fix before end of Software Maint in June 2012 ?

LMS 4.0 support for ASA firewall

I need to add ASA 5520 to LMS 4.0, mainly for configuration archiving. ASA seems to be supported on LMS 3.2 as per the below link.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/3.2/device_support/table/lms32sdt.html
I had directly added the ASA to the DCR, with the right login credentials and SNMPv3 strings , but still LMS fails to detect the ASA.
Thanks in advance.

Cisco LMS 4.2.3 - Nexus VDC - SNMP

Hi All,
I am having some trouble with getting inventory collection work for the VDC's of a Nexus 7k from LMS 4.2.3.
The collection works for the main VDC, just not any of the others.
I have verified (using SNMPWALK) from the LMS server that the snmp credentials in use on the LMS for these VDC's is correct.
We are using SNMP V3.
The error I am getting when trying to run an inventory collection is:
Device Collection Failed. Failed to fetch Containment details.
Does anyone have any experience with getting VDC's to work in LMS and may have seen this error before?
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
You are hitting the below BUG:
LMS 4.2.3 Inventory collection is failing for some of Nexus 7k devices

Development team is still working on the fix.

LMS User Tracking for NEXUS 5548UP

Dear,
A while ago I received a ticket from one of our customers because User Tracking was not working for NEXUS 5548UP on LMS 3.2. I opened a TAC case for this but this was normal since it is a Datacenter switch. Now the customer came back on this because they really want to see which server is connected to which switch port. I understood from the TAC engineer this is not on the roadmap to integrate in LMS 4.x. They want to know if there exists another product (they thought about DCNM) and wanted to know how this integrates or works together with LMS...
Kind regards,
Sven Laureyssens

My latest understanding of User Tracking and Nexus 5K series is that it is not supported due to a limitation of the MIB support in the NX-OS.
The current DCNM (release 5.2) is distinct from the LMS and Cisco Prime umbrella but that wil be changing a bit moving forwad as DCNM is enhanced and rolled into the Cisco Prime family. Last I heard there should be some information coming out of Cisco Live this week and a new release will have some additional functionality and better integration. Still, I doubt we'll see UT for the 5K due to the NX-OS limitation.
One way to do what you're asking apart from use of any of the Cisco products is to enable LLDP on your Nexus and servers. That will at least give you the ability to pull the information from the NX-OS command line ("show lldp neighbor")

Java 7 support for LMS 4.2?

Any idea if LMS 4.2 is going to get support for Java 7? Java 6 reaches end of Public Updates February 2013.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html

I don't have any inside information but would strongly expect an update to LMS in 2013 that will introduce Java 7 support.
For now, though, you are best advised to stick with the supported Java 6. LMS has gotten better in tolerating minor updates; but I have yet to see anyone get LMS working completely with Java 7.

IS Prime DCNM support for 2960 switches

Hi All,
There is a requirement for a NMS solution, Solution must have a single dashboard
but in the netwroks i am having 2960s, N2K, N5K, N7K, in order to mange this data-center network
do I need to quoted for Cisco LMS and DCNM or LMS is enough

The most comprehensive single product solution for those set of devices would be LMS. It does have limitations in managing the User Tracking, VLAN (provisioning primarily) and SAN aspects of the data center switches. Note Nexus 2ks are not separately managed, but rather viewed as an integral part of their controlling 7k or 5k.
LMS Catalyst 2960 support described here.
LMS Nexus support described here.
DCNM is not really designed for IOS-based devices. It has some very limited support for the Catalyst 6500 but other than that it is primarily focued on the NX-OS-based data center products. See the DCNM Release Compatibility Matrix for more details. (And add the DCNM 6.1 release notes updates.)

QPM support for NX-OS?

Any word on when NX-OS is going to be supported by QPM? LMS 3.2/4.0 have support for NX-OS, just wondering if anything has been announced about when QPM is going to get updated to add this support.

Hi Jeremy,
You can use QPM on Cisco Nexus 7000 10-Slot Switch (N7K-C7010) using the latest version of QPM 4.1.5
Please see the below link for more information on this.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_qos_policy_manager/4.1.5/readme/qpm415rwin.html#wp1080161
Hope this help.

Cisco LAN Management Solution is required to support Cisco Nexus 5548P and 5596UP switches?

Hi,
Could someone help to know what Cisco LAN Management Solution is required to support Cisco Nexus 5548P switches and Cisco Nexus 5596UP switches?
These new Cisco switches are being implementing on customer network and he ask us that he requires these equipments be supported on a LMS solution (customer currently is using LMS 3.2.1)
Can someone help?
Thanks in advanced,
guruiz

Some very limited Nexus support is present in LMS 3.2.1 - see the supported device table here.
To get more complete support, including the 5596UP, they need to upgrade to LMS 4.x (e.g. LMS 4.2.2 is the latest and is sold under the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 umbrella). The major upgrade from 3.x to 4.x requires purchasing an upgrade license.
Some functions (namely User Tracking ) will not be available on the 5k due to non-support of the requisite MIB on the device. I believe LMS still doesn't let you do VLAN management on 5k's - you need to use DCNM for that if you want to do it from a GUI.
See the table here for LMS 4.2 device support.

Support for C 'n' Q with CG-revision Athlon 64

Recently I bought a MSI K8T FSR motherboard and an Athlon 64 3000+, CG-revision. The new system is very stable and fast, the processor seems to be correctly identified, the only problem is Cool and Quiet isn't working.
I've installed clean copy's of Windows XP and Windows 2000, installed all latest software (corecenter etc), biosses and drivers, configured power management in Windows and enabled the feature in the bios, installed the special processor driver/software but still the clockspeed seems to be locked. The AMD cpuinfo tool and the msi corecenter both report a constant clockspeed of 2000 Mhz when run in Windows 2000 and a constant speed of 1600Mhz when run in XP. Heavy benchmarking or let the pc idling for 15 minutes, clockspeeds won't change. The constant 1600 Mhz reading in Xp is especially starnge, according the to AMD whitepaper this isn't a speedstepping for the processor, it should be switching between 1000/1800/2000Mhz. (see http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/30430.pdf , page 9, at column ADA3000AEP4AR)
In the release notes, it says support for the CG-revision of the processor is added in the last bios version, but C 'n' Q for Cg is still to come?
In a dutch forum, I'm not the only one encountering this problem, so I suspect it's not a standalone case.
The other hardware in my system, just for the reference: zalman 7000A cooler, nexus 3000 psu, 40 GB maxtor harddisk, geforce 2 MX, 512 MB PC3200 Kingston mem.

That worked! I went to the AMD site you mentioned, more specifically, this page, and downloaded the last program on the bottom of the page. After a restart, vwaa-la! 800 MHz! Never thought I'd be so happy to see my new machine run slower than my old machine.
Anyway, it works now... thanks for the help ... hope you get yours working too.
