LMS 4.2 upgrade to 4.2.1

Hi,
I'm in the process of upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2.3 sequentially and I've come across a problem. Yesterday all was well in going from 4.1 to 4.2 but today after going from 4.2 to 4.2.1 I'm unable to login and get the error. This happens both with my normally RADIUS authenticated username and the admin account.
pdshow also looks ok (I think).
Can anyone help?

Hi, thanks for the help so far.
Tried resetCasuser and chose a new random password but still seeing the access forbidden message.

Problem LMS 3.1 Upgrade Inventory

I am having a problem with a computer to update the inventory, the equipment is added but can not collect the information, and try deleting it and making it to add and you do a server restart is the only team that I have problems.
three devices are found in the stack model is WS-C3750G-48PS-S.
I can give suggestions to try.
Greetings.

Invenotry Purely depends on SNMP. Make sure you device is SNMP reachable from ciscoworks server (Check snmpwalk from device center) and make sure the LMS has right set of SNMP credentials for device (check Credential Verification Job).
Post the failure Reason/screenshot and NMSROOT/log/IC_server.log.
Also, i would recommend to upgrade your server as LMS 3.1 is pretty older and you can upgrade to LMS 3.2 for free.
-Thanks

LMS-to-PI upgrade different hardware

hi
Here is a scenario
LMS installed on virtual environment & PI appliance with upgrade license is purchased?
how to proceed with the installation on the newly purchased PI appliance with upgrade license? considering LMS will be out of network after PI on production
any clue
thanks, vishal

Tira,
If you're a partner, please refer to the PI BOM Builder on the partner community..
It will show you that, yes - you start with the part number you mentioned. Then add base and lifecycle licenses (and support) to complete the order. CCW will also help you validate the final order. I have pasted in a sample BOM below for a 50 device upgrade. Only the one line item with the number of lifecycle license would change. Options are 50, 100, 300, 500, 750, 1000 etc.

Ciscoworks LMS 2.2 upgrade

Hi,
I have currently LMs 2.2 on cds. I never installed it. Now i want to install the LMs 4.0. If i purchase the CWLMS-4.0-1.5KUPK9, can i install directly on any server without having LMS 2.2?
Regards
Prasanth Mathews

Yes, I believe so. Only the SKU and associated costs will vary. You may be asked to demonstrate prrof of ownership if there is any doubt. It's been a while since LMS 2.2 was shippped.
Then installation media is the same for a given product. The license key you will receive will govern how many devices you can manage by licensing that level of service.

Upgrading from LMS 4.1 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Looking for some information and confirmation on the upgrade process.
Currently we are running LMS 4.1 with a valid SAS Service Contract which will allow me to upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 1.1 or Prime Infrastructure 1.2 using the upgrade tool at no charge. After using the tool I am given access to download PI1.1 or PI1.2, however, it only actually let me download PI1.1 but said i do not have the proper permissions to download the 1.2 license. I also noticed that the software images for 1.2 are not available ont he ciso download page.
I am wondering what the latest version of Prime Infrastructure I will be able to upgrade to without an additional purchase. Can I upgrade up to all the way up to 1.4 or can I only go up to 1.2 (but then where is the download for the software).
If i can upgrade to 1.4 then what path should I take? 1.1 to 1.3 to 1.4? Just skip 1.2 since the download is not available and it will not let me download the license file?
Thank you for your help

LMS 4.x to Prime 1.x would not be considered a functional or recommended "upgrade" for most intents as you would lose several major capabilities (Topology, Ciscoview, many reports, compliance templates, etc.). Your best path right now would be to move your LMS along to the current version - 4.2.4. The release notes explain the upgrade path for that.
Licensing and upgrade eligibility-wise you need SASU for PI (not plain SAS for LMS) for major upgrades (i.e to go to 2.0). An LMS SAS contract entitles you to migrate to PI 1.2 which in effect means 1.3 although Cisco had some issues with updating the ordering system so there was not actually a SKU for PI 1.3 sold - only the 1.2 version which, when combined with your LMS SAS service contract, entitles you to move to PI 1.3 (or 1.4 but that's not generally recommended). More details are in the Prime Ordering and Licensing Guides here.
Personally, I recommend customers with existing LMS 4.x installations wait until PI 2.1 comes out to consider the upgrade. 2.0 still misses several tools present in LMS 4.x.
If you really want to move over to PI, you can export the data from LMS 4.2.4 and import into PI 1.3 (or 2.0).

Cisco LMS 3.1 / Java 1.6.0_05

Hello -
The java on my LMS server was upgraded on accident and has since been removed. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for downloading JRE 1.6.0_05???
Thank you!

You can always find the LMS-bundled JRE installer downloadable at http://[your-lms-server]:1741/help/cmf/jplug_install_ns_windows.html

Captivate 7 projects do not close automatically like previous versions did upon course completion

My users are used to their courses closing automatically when finished (launched from Inquisiq LMS). Since upgrading to Captivate 7, projects I published using CP7 show a white blank screen but do not close. The course results are saved just fine even after the user closes the window of the finished course manually but is there a way to close the window automatically? I know as I publish more courses I am going to get tech service requests from users who are not used to this behavior.
I tried setting the "On exit" action to exit to no avail.

Vikram,
Thanks for your response. No they do not close when played locally either. They just show a white slide and then you have to close the window manually.
I set the on exit in the next to last slide. I will try to set on the last slide. The last slide is just an empty slide. I could delete it. The strange thing is that this was a Captivate 6 course that I opened, made a minor revision (deleted one slide), and republished using captivate 7, now it won't close. Nothing else was changed.
Any further help is appreciated.

LMS 4.0 not starting after upgrade

I am running LMS 4.0 on Windows 2008 Server, recently changed from eval copy to licensed (for 750 devices). It had been running and working for several months.The license application worked fine and it ran a couple days that way.
I then downloaded the CiscoWorks_LMS_4.0.x_WIN2K8_R2.exe patch so that I could upgrade the server OS to Windows Server 2008 R2. Per the instructions in the patch readme I first proceeded to upgrade my server to 2008 R2. Then I installed the patch (patch only).
After doing this (and restarting the server) CiscoWorks daemons will no longer start. I have confirmed my paging file size (swap) is set to start at 8192 MB (8 GB) as required. I tried manuallly starting (net start crmdmgtd) without sucess. I see the initial dmgt_start_lock lock file in C:\Program Files (x86)\CSCOpx\objects\dmgt\ready but none of the other process lock files ever pop in and out as they would normally and the processes (and thus CiscoWorks server) never start.
Any suggestions?

The "patch" is as far as I know some sort of launcher for the installation setup.exe.
When I run the "patch" al I get is the question where my installer is, so I can install LMS.
I have not yet tried to run this on an existing LMS installation. Nor upgrading the OS on an LMS installation :-)
Does the "patch" have a different behavior when LMS is already installed?
If not, I suggest to use the cleansystem.exe in the CSCOpx\bin to remove the current install, reinstall use the patch to launch the installer and restore a backup
Cheers,
Michel

Upgrade from LMS 3.0.1 to LMS 3.1 or 3.2 and problem with devices update

Hello
How to upgrade from LMS 3.0 December 2007 update to LMS 3.1 or LMS 3.2. The problem is the large number of C2960S-24TS-L switches that my organization has and cannot managed them..
I tried to upgrade devices through Software Center but always Ciscoworks informs me with the following message.
"Error while downloading package information from Cisco.com for the selected products. See the log file for details".
Also i can not run EOL/EOS inventory report. The message is
" INVREP0102: Cisco.com user credentials are invalid. Enter correct credentials." I check my credentials and is right.
The server has access to www through proxy without any restrictions.
In the past I've already updated devices through the software center. Also in the past i ve run EOS/EOL inventory reports.

Hi,
the problem to access cisco.com is because of a "bug". Its ID is CSCto46927.
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCto46927
Symptom:
After the 16th of June 2011 LMS will no longer be able to download Software and Device Package updates, or PSIRT and End of Sale/Life information from CCO
Conditions:
Hosted services in Cisco.com that are being leveraged by LMS, for downloading the latest Software and Device Package updates, as well as the PSIRT and End of Sale/Life information are being migrated to a new framework and the old services will be retired.
This will affect all LMS 3.x and 4.x versions.
Refer to https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-16806 for more information
Workaround:
Users of LMS 3.2.1 , 4.0 should install the patch that can be downloaded from cisco.com
Users of earlier version will need to upgrade to LMS 3.2 and then install the LMS 3.2 SP1 patch set before installing the patch"
Because of that it is necessary to upgrade not only to 3.1 or 3.2, you need 3.2.1 to get the patch and then access to cisco.com again.
The question about the better way for updating I can't answer. I did a update to 3.1 and then to 3.2. But I think you will find the requirements for the updates in the notes for them.
But I can't find LMS 3.1 in the cisco download center. There is only 3.2 and 3.2.1 available for me.

Problems after upgrading LMS from 4.1 to 4.2.3

After the upgrade of the LMS we have the situation that all our deviced are visible in the subnet groups but not in "all devices".
When I want to launch an inventory collection the following message is displayed:
"ICSU0025: Problem with JRM. The JRM server may not be running. Check ICServerUI.log for more details. See the user guide Administration of CiscoWorks LMS for the log file location."
When I do a Discovery, the deviced are being discovered but they are unreachable.
And all the host names are changed into their IP addresses.
I can't seem to find the problem. Even after roaming the forum here.
I'm not able to pinpoint the exact cause of the problems...
Any ideas?
regards,
W

That is a healthy normal state for ANIServer. I checked some similar cases and it seems most of them were transient and got resolved once daemon was reatarted.
I would suggest to follow this procedure once additionally :
> Stop Daemon manager
> Regenerate SSL certificate
> Do a transaction log for RME DB
> Start the daemon
For 2nd and 3rd check my this post for process :
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3597059#3597059
If this is Solaris/linux, for transaction log, check this link (under Recovering From a Server Crash).

Upgrade to LMS 4.2.5 - dmgtd.ext being used by another process

I'm upgrading from LMS 4.2.4 to LMS 4.2.5 on a Window's system.
The upgrade wizard starts and the prerequisites are met. It errors out with the following message;
"These files are currently being used by another running process. You must stop all processes listed below to proceed successfully with this installation.
D:\CSCOpx\bin\dmgtd.exe"
The processes have stopped though. I ran the command "net stop crmdmgtd" and it returned "The Cisco Prime Daemon Manager service is not started."
So, does anyone know how to get the dmgtd.exe stopped so that I can proceed with the upgrade?
Thanks,
Mike S.

Hi Mike,
After shutdown the LMS services (net stop crmdmgtd)
then Open the "task Manager" > Click on "Processes" and look for dmgtd.exe or dbsrv10.exe , sm_server or any other LMS services running , I am sure there should be one . Kill it Manually from the Task Manager and run the installation again.
Thanks-
Afroz

How do you install RSAC 4.3.2 when upgrading to ciscoworks LMS 3.2.1?

We have ciscoworks LMS 3.2 which we have recently updated to ciscoworks 3.2.1 using the ciscoworks 3.2 Service Pack 1 patch file. In the "Readme for CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution 3.2 Service Pack 1" document, it says that you have to install the Remote Syslog Collector 4.3.2 separately. It says the file (setup.exe) is located at disk1/RSAC. However, ciscoworks 3.2 Service Pack 1 only appears to be a patch file and when we ran the patch file on our Remote Syslog Collector server, the version remained at 4.3.0. When I looked at the server where RME is installed (version 4.3.2), it says that Syslog Analyzer is 4.3.2 and Syslog Collector is version 4.3.0. The patch file doesn't look like it has the installation files for RSAC 4.3.2 and there doesn't seem to be a directory that was created on the RME server to install the updated RSAC from, so how do you upgrade from RSAC 4.3.0 to RSAC 4.3.2?

I opened up a TAC case, worked with TAC, and was able to update RSAC to version 4.3.2. The procedure is:
1. Download the ciscoworks LMS 3.2.1 patch file to the remote syslog server.
2. Create a temporary directory on the remote syslog server (ex. c:\test)
3. Go into the directory with the extracted LMS 3.2.1 patch file and type the command:
Ciscoworks_LMS_3.2.1.exe /extract_all:c:\test
4. Go into the c:\test directory and find the RSAC folder. In the RSAC folder is a setup file. Run setup and install RSAC 4.3.2 over RSAC 4.3.0 (if you uninstall RSAC 4.3.0, you will get a message saying that RSAC 4.3.0 must be installed before installing RSAC 4.3.2)
5. Check the installation by going to Common Services->Software Center->Software Update on the remote syslog server. The version should be RSAC 4.3.2.

Problems upgrading from LMS 3.0 to LMS 3.2 - the backup fails.

I'm upgrading from LMS 3.0 to LMS 3.2 on Solaris. I've met all of the prereq's, patches, etc. It keeps failing on the Backup...It claims I need 15 Gig for the backup. The backup directory I'm using (/opt/backup) has 35 Gig free, so that shouldn't be the issue.

I've tried this multiple times and each time it appears to fail on a different file/folder in the sw_images directory. This is our FTP directory where we store lots of IOS images for download.

I'm attaching the backup.log which contains the failure information for each backup I've tried in the past two days.
My main question is...can I skip this backup somehow? I've got another LMS 3.0 system that I can export everything I need from. Skipping the backup isn't an option on the install/upgrade? It gives me the option to quit the install or try the backup again.
Thanks,

You can skip the backup with a hidden option:
./setup.sh -b nobackup
However, I wouldn't feel comfortable until figuring out why the backup has been failing, ostensibly because tar is running into the 255-char limit (100 for the filename and 155 for the path), a result of the many iterations of the following:

LMS 3.0.1 upgrade to LMS 3.2

Hi Pros,
Can anyone help me to know the step by step procedures for upgrading LMS to 3.2 from 3.0.1.
Thanks
swami

There is no special procedurefor the upgrade.
All informations you will find in that documentation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/3.2/install/guide1/overview.html#wp1086033
The only difficult point could be the ACS integration if you use that. It is possible to do the integration once again because of new features.
