LMS 4.1 - Archive Mngt - excluded Commands

Dear all,
In previous LMS version, we could edit a list of commands that have to be excluded while comparing configuration.
To do this select
Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Config Mgmt > Archive Mgmt> Exclude Commands
How to do in LMS 4.1? (required in order to exclude "ntp clock-period")
Thanks

Admin > Collection Settings > Config > Config Compare Exclude Commands Configuration
There is alse the legacy menu, the thingy next to the yellow star on the top right of the screen
Cheers,

LMS 3.2 factory default Archive Mgmt Exclude commands

I'm working through LMS 3.2 initial setup and got to configuring device config commands to be ignored for alerting.
I notice that the Archive Mgmt Exclude commands for the Device Category "Routers" has a factory default Exclude list
"end,exec-timeout,length,width,certificate,ntp clock-period"
However, it seems that the "Switches and Hubs" Device Category has no exclude list configured by default, so I'm getting ntp clock-period alerts for my IE3000 switches for example.
Does anyone here have an opinion or reason why I shouldn't copy the default exclude list from the Routers category "end,exec-timeout,length,width,certificate,ntp clock-period" to the Switches and Hubs category?

OK thanks, Joe.
Maybe a factory default candidate for the next release?
Actually, on this subject. It's quite difficult to show which entries have which settings and therefore which item in the hiearchy is taking prcedence. Would be nice to have a similar kind of system ala the DFM overriding group.
Anyway, until then
is there some config or properties file somewhere where I can see a better overall view? (and maybe reconfigure them) [fingers crossed]

Rsync --exclude command .... well, doesn't

I use rsync all the time to keep backups or machines synced.
I like to use the --exclude command to eliminate things that ar enot needed and are slow or take up lots of space. A good example is an address book archive file whcih can take HOURS to sync to my NAS drive - and seems to have a timestamp issue that means it re-writes every darned entry.
Anyway.
I have the weird situation where i may hev 3 or 4 --exclude commands sequentially. The first 3 work, the 4th simply doesn't. I have no idea why. My syntax is, for example:
rsync -avr --delete [source] --exclude 'Microsoft User Data' --exclude Library/Mail --exclude Library/Caches -exclude Documents/Rolodex [destination]
The Documents/olodex folder is NOT excluded.
One update, i just saw something odd in textedit's behaviour, and i think it may be invisibly changing the formatting of the "--X" tag. Maybe in writing this note i finally found it :-)
HNY to all,
Grant
ps: any idea why i have the basic rsync date-stamp problem with address book records int he first place? If they were written once and then incrementally updated I'd be OK with it....

The regular 10.9 edition.
Now if only i knew why it keeps updating files that have not changed. (only certain ones, like address book entries)
Grant
That's why I asked that question. 10.9 still ships with rsync 2.6.9, but 2.6.9 does not deal correctly with resource forks. Any minor change to file metadata can trick rsync into updating the entire file as though content data had changed. Go the the rsync home page and download version 3.x.x (I installed it in /usr/local/bin so that the system still had access to the version of rsync it expects, just to be on the safe side).
3.x.x handles resource forks correctly, but note that there were some significant changes in syntax. For instance, 2.6.9 used -E to handle (badly) extended attributes, while -X isn't used; in 3.x.x they added the -X flag for extended attributes and retasked -E for preserving executablity. Read the man page carefully when updating scripts.

How do you extend the exclude command to subcategories?

In my PSE 6 organizer I have tagged my photios and have various subcategories under a master category. The exclude command only excludes photos in the top directory not to subcategories.

Thanks for the clarification.
First, you need to make sure that the TC is configured correctly.
o Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
o Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
o Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
o Make sure that a check mark is entered next to "Allow this network to be extended"
o Update to save changes
o Disconnect the ethernet cable after the TC has restarted
Next, move the Express close to your computer
o Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express
o Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
o Click the Wireless tab
o Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
o Wireless Network Name = Same name as your TC network
o Enter a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
o Wireless Security = Exact same setting as your TC network
o Wireless Password = Exact same password as your TC network
o Confirm Password
o Update to save settings
o Disconnect the ethernet cable and move the Express to the desired location approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the distance from the TC to the area that needs more wireless coverage. Minimize any obstructions in the signal path.
o Power up the Express in the new location

Archiving using PBS command in purchasing

Hi All,
If any one has worked in archiving using PBS command in purchasing. Please provide some inputs OR any documents.
Ur response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

<b>PBS </b>archive Add-on Software:
This is a third party software solution developed specifically for providing access and reporting to SAP archived data. It is a software solution written in ABAP code. Once installed you are able to access and report on archived data, data from the data base and a combination of both. Users utilize standard SAP methods such as transaction codes, menu paths to access and report .PBS is a ready to run solution without any additional development. Once installed you get all of your accesses. It provides full drill down to the lowest level of detail, document flow and integration across SAP modules. With PBS Archive add-on software you can store the archived data in the file system of your server ( outside of the data base) OR you can store the archived data files externally and the software will read and report on the data. So you can run reports and on line queries any time you want to.
Hope this is useful to you...

Rsync - it simply ignores the "exclude" command...

nomatter what format i try.
I'm using rsynch to make backups to several remote volumes, mounted to my desktop.
(in case you care, one is a NAS drive; others are big hard drives in an old G4 that is largely a aserver now)
Aside from some odd timestamp issues, it works great.
But i want to exclude several folders and filetypes that are not essential can can literally take 10+ hours (like 100,000 email files).
I have tried the exclude command, using many format variations (as found on various internet sites). I have also tried it as "exclude-from" and created am exclude from types file (excludes.txt).
here's a sample of my latest, but i tried many permutations:
rsync -av -e --exclude-from=excludes.txt /usr/bin/ssh /Users/gfl/Documents/Grants /Volumes/90G_G4_Share/exclude_test/
This syncs to a volume mounted locally, ut physically on an old G4 server.
I also tried:
rsync -av -e --exclude=Mail/ usr/bin/ssh /Users/gfl/Documents/Grants /Volumes/90G_G4_Share/exclude_test/
and
rsync -av -e --exclude 'Mail/' usr/bin/ssh /Users/gfl/Documents/Grants /Volumes/90G_G4_Share/exclude_test/
Suggestions?
Would i be better off using rcp? For the kinds of updates i typically make, i'm not sure the delta algorithm is all that important. The slow part of copying for me is the remote processor (a cheap-$h1t WD SMB NAS drive) -- not the network. Copying to the G4 machine is much, much quicker.
TIA,
Grant

Hi Bob,
Thanks. I'll try about any syntx combination now! I'll give that a try and report back.
One gneral update. After reading a few responses here, and reading elsewhere, and some experimentation, i tried the following:
rsync -av -e --exclude="Library/Mail/" --exclude="Documents/Microsoft User Data/" /usr/bin/ssh /Users/gfl/ /Volumes/80G_FW/gfl_backup
I also tried (earlier):
rsync -av -e --exclude="*.emlx" --exclude="Documents/Microsoft User Data/" /usr/bin/ssh /Users/gfl/ /Volumes/80G_FW/gfl_backup
Oddly, i'm making progress and that's making me even more confused. In both cases the "Documents/Microsoft UUser Data" was NOT backed up (hooray!), but also in both cases the mail files (all, like 50,000 of them) were.. The syntax of the wo looks identical, so i simply don't get it.
I'll also ask again, if maybe rcp would be a better choice. I dont modify that many files, and my network is fast. Wht i'm finding is that the remote compare -especially on older servers and the dog-slow NAS drive, take forver. Maybe its easier to just copy them- since 99.99% of the files dont change really ever.
TIA,
Grant

LMS 3.2.1 - 'no pager' command

Hi,
I'm having some minor problem with the RME config puller:
Every time RME logs in to pull the config from my firewall (pix 535) it issues 'no pager' command, and doesn't change it back after the job is done;
So every time I log on to the FW I have to configure the terminal to 'break' the output page, which is very annoying;
Is there any way to change this behavior?
I have recently update the LMS to v. 3.2.1 and the RME is v.4.3.2 ; also I have all lates device updates;
I never had this problem before;
Thanks for your advice
Pawel

Hi,
Kindly enable the debug for Archive Management from RME > Admin > Log level settings > select ArchiveMgmt and select DEBUG for both the modules.
Clear out the contents of dcmaservice.log and then run the new sync Archive job again only on one problematic device.
Wait for the job to complete \ failed and then share the screenshot of the error and the dcmaservice.log from the location CSCOpx\log
Note :- dcmaservice.log might contain data that might be sensitive, so kindly clear out the same if required.
Explanation about the issue:-
RME connections to the PIX and authenticates
It enters enable mode on the PIX
It then runs the command show pager to get the current pager configuration
It then enters the command conf t
It then enters the command no pager
Once it copies the config it then places the pager command back that it
read in the show command initially.
Rest dcmaservice.log will shed more light on it. Kindly let us know what version of ios you are running on PIX.
Thanks,
Gaganjeet

LMS 3.2 Archiving Partially successful

Hi,
We have installed LMS 3.2,But for some of the switches archiving is partially successfull.Switches are 6500 in transparent mode.We use ssh for archive management.dcmaservice Log says...
[ Thu Jan 21 14:51:05 AST 2010 ],ERROR,[Thread-1540],com.cisco.nm.xms.xdi.transport.cmdsvc.LogAdapter,error,19,Unknown authentication method: keyboard-interactive.In the RME I can see the log as Command Failed.

For RME to be able to fetch the VLAN config, it must be able to copy the vlan.dat file from flash back to itself using TFTP. RME will issue a command similar to:
copy flash:vlan.dat tftp:
Make sure the device can properly copy the vlan.dat back to the RME server using TFTP.

LMS 4.0 Archive Poller starts failing after some working cycles

Hi,
We have a LMS 4.0 running in our network with arround 650 nodes.
We are having problems with the Archive Poller.
The first few days it worked fine, but then it started to fail for some devices and on the next day it failed to poll all devices. I have restarted the daemon manager after the failure and it came back working fine for another few days. Since then the Change Poller works for a few days, then it degrades polling to a complete failure, a restart of the daemon manager get it working only for a few days.
Here is some output of a failed node:
*** Device Details for zagora4-sw ***
Protocol ==> Unknown / Not Applicable
Selected Protocols with order ==> Telnet,SSH
Execution Result:
Unable to get results of job execution for device. Retry the job after increasing the job result wait time using the option:Admin > Collection Settings > Config > Config Job Timeout Settings
It seems that the poller is not even trying to poll nodes...?
Do you think the DB might got corrupted, as I restarted the machine without shutting down the processes some weeks ago...
Any hints or ideas would be appreciated !

Hi @ all
I have the same Problem as Ruslan. Do ansbody have a idea to solve this problem ? Afer some succesfull runs ob the ArchivePoll it stop with the mentioned error...

I´d tried to increase the "wait time" but notthing happens ...
HELP Please ...

LMS 3.2: Compliance Mngt: ASA tacacs configuration

Hi there!
I'm stuck (again *sigh*) with CiscoWorks compliance managment.
I would like to check our tacacs configuration (ASA):
aaa-server TACACS+ (inside) host <server1>
timeout 20
key <key>
aaa-server TACACS+ (inside) host <server2>
timeout 20
key <key>
aaa-server TACACS+ (inside) host <server3>
timeout 20
key <key>
I would like to know if there is a timeout and key statement for every tacacs server configured.
How can this be done with compliance managment ?
It seems to me, that the compliance mngt can't check for three occurrences of the same line (e.g. key or timeout) ?
If you have any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks!
Holger

RME doesn't break out all of the sub-modes of the ASA. Only interfaces are broken out into sub-modes. To make sure the "inspect sqlnet" and "inspect esmtp" commands aren't in the config, you'd have to check in global mode.

LMS 4.2 | Archival Summary failed

Hi Netpro
at the Archival Summary failed part the reason behind the failure is as below , pls how to solve this issue and let lms download all configuration from the devices
TELNET: Failed to establish TELNET connection to 10.1.1.9 - Cause: Authentication failed on device 3 times.
PRIMARY-RUNNING config Fetch Operation failed for TFTP. Could not detect SSH protocols running on the device Failed to fetch config using RCP. Verify RCP is enabled or not
Thanks
ibrahim

I was referring to the LMS server. From the Device Center where you checked the credentials, you can choose "Tools, Edit Device Credentials". from the window that opens up from that, re-type your SNMP RW credentials to verify that you are using the correct ones as configured on the device.
After you do that, then re-submit the Archive job and telll us your results.

Hi,
I am still loking at the issue with no resolution.
I am trying Telnet, which all correctly configured and working (with Tacacs and have looked at the Taccas...ini file)
But still my archive jobs fail on LMS 3.2 for 2900 Routers
SSH - is beacuse of the client used on LMS has the "keyboard-interactive" mode setting set in its client cfg, which as it's a Java ssh client , it is not configuable and therefore needs a fix.
Telnet - seems to failing with authentication or prompt issues, with Tacacs enabled.
I have seen no resolutions to these issue.
Any ideas
Thanks

Cisco LMS. Config Archive

Good day
Recently we've installed LMS 4.2. And also we've configured archive backup, but jobs weren't successfull. I'm getting error check credentials or increse timeout. But procedure of checking device credentials was successfull. I've checked onl ssh transport for archive is it correct?

This can be long to troubleshoot if you talk about various devices. You have to target device by device as reason of failure may differ for each device.
1. Run a job to archive config from a device and share the screenshot of result, if fail.
2. Share the DCMAService.log from server, also enable debug before you run the job for syncarchive.
3. Open device in Device centre and run a credential verification job to see if it succeeds.
4. Try to increase the timeout for telnet and read delay to almost double of what is configured.
Share the result once this is checked.
-Thanks

EXCLUDE COMMAND IN CALC SCRIPT

Is anything wrong in this script:
EXCLUDE ("&CurrMon","&PrevMon","&NextMon")
"FCM" = "FCM" * -1;
"UTB" = "UTB" * -1;
"LBB" = "LBB" * -1;
ENDEXCLUDE ;
I am trying to change the sign for all historical values in the cube from Positive to Negative.
When I run this script it runs fine but it doesn't do anything.The values are the same as before the Calcs.Please advice.
thanks,
VK

The Substitution Variable is set correctly -
EXCLUDE (&CurrMon,&PrevMon,&NextMon)
"FCM" = @ABS("FCM") * -1;
"LBB" = @ABS("LBB") * -1;
ENDEXCLUDE ;
I have added @ABS as suggested in the thread.
I was wondering if I have to use a FIX along with Exclude.Can I use it ?
thanks,

Thanks for any help.

Hi ,
Archive purge can fail for many reasons. I can suggest few things , If it did not work. You can open up a TAC case for troubleshooting.
Try this :
Increase the ConfigJobManager.heapsize as “1024m” in the following file:
NMSROOT/MDC/tomcat/webapps/rme/WEB-INF/classes/JobManager.properties (ie,,ConfigJobManager.heapsize=1024m) ·
Restart the daemon manager ·
Once the daemon manager is started successfully, Go to Admin > Network > Purge Settings > Config Archive Purge Settings, increase the “Purge versions older than:” to 12 Months (Also configure large value for no. of versions that you would like to have per device) and trigger the job. ·
Once job is completed, decrease the number of months gradually, until the desired no. of days & no. of versions required is reached. This exercise is to reduce the number of archives loading in memory during a purge job, which will cause job hanging.
Thanks-
Afroz
