LMS Prime 4.2 Soft Appliance on UCS
Hi,
I'm trying to install LMS Prime 4.2 Soft Appliance on UCS C220 M3 with RAID controller . I have configured RAID 1 and using
Cisco_Prime_LAN_Management_Solution_4_2.iso, but when i boot from KVM DVD I received this error:
Do you have any ideas how to process from here?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Sorry, NCS server (PRIME-NCS-APL-K9) was the option I was referring to. I didn't realize they specified the same image for UCS servers.
I do note that the prerequisites specify (here) "LMS 4.2 is supported on the UCS B-series blade servers (B200-M1 or M2 and B250-M1 or M2) and C-series rack mount servers (C200-M1 or M2, C210-M1 or M2, C250-M1 or M2, and UCS C460)". It could be that the ISO does not have the necessary drivers for your RAID controller in the M3.

LMS Prime 4.1 soft appliance backup
Hello,
We have an installation of Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 soft appliance on VMware and i would like to ask if it is possible to backup the database on an external drive other than the 'local' LMS hard disk. Is it possible?
Regards,
NicosSame as windows or solaris. You can only backup to a local drive.
Making a script that does some compression (the backup is not compressed now, big waste of space) on the backup directory and pushes it to a remote NAS is not that hard.
Cheers,

Cisco Prime Soft Appliance not saving changes to syslog.conf
Greetings,
I'm having an issue with the syslog.conf file on a Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.4 soft appliance with a Solaris base. My workplace uses local4 as the logging facility for its network devices, and according to a discussion I found on this site, I need to add the line:
local4.info /var/log/syslog_info
I have attempted this several times; we're approaching at least 5 attempts today. I have attached text files created from putty logs where I've attempted to make the necessary change. I appreciate any assistance the community can provide.
Regards,
RobHi, Afroz,
I really appreciate your assistance, but I'm afraid my hopes have been dashed. The syslog.conf reverted to its original configuration. I will go through my steps to be sure that I understood your suggestion properly.
I edited the syslog.conf to put all messages from local4 in /opt/CSCOpx/conf/syslog-entries.txt. Then, I exited the shell to the console, issued the 'write mem' command, and closed the session. Upon my reconnection, I found that my changes to the syslog.conf were not saved.
Did I make the correct edits in the correct places? Another question, is this bug present in the versions of Prime LMS running Linux and/or Windows, or does it only exist in the soft appliance running Solaris?
Regards,
Rob
Edit:
I'm reading the "Installation and Migration of Cisco Prime" PDF, and it gives me the impression that Cisco Prime is only supported as Windows, Solaris, and soft appliance installations. Is that correct? If it is correct, then installation of Cisco Prime LMS is not supported on other Linux distros such as Ubuntu Server, CentOS, Fedora, etc.?
My thanks. -
LMS 4.2 Soft Appliance - No Remote Backups?
Hi All,
I have a new installation of LMS 4.2 on the Soft Appliance and seem ot be only able to configure backups to the local disk?
There is no option to select any of the configured repositories like there is in ACS.
I can backup to /localdisk, after change to filesystem as below:
chgrp casusers -R /localdisk
chmod 0775 /localdisk
but the issue is, how to I get this off the box in an automated fashion so it can be part of our corporate backup schedule?
Thanks,
AaronTo backup LMS you need to use the built-in backup utility. The target for your backup can be on a different partition / mount point. See this section of the admin guide.
Almost any database server or server which relies heavily on a database (such as LMS) requires that backup solutions be tightly integrated so as to preserve the data integrity. -
LMS 4.2.2 virtual appliance fresh install : DCR Server Error
Hello,
I have installed a new version of LMS 4.2 on virtual appliance (VMware 4.1) and I have an issue.
When I go the "Device Administration --> Manage Device State" I have the following error :
Server Error
Error
Error in communicating with DCR Server. For more details click here.
DCR Server may be down. Please start the DCR Server and then refresh the page.
Following the details link I have : (I did all the check written below).
DCR Server Error
The communication error may be due to the following reasons:
The DNS resolution does not match with server assigned IP Address. Workaround: DNS resolvable IP Address should be same as server IP Address. DHCP is enabled in the server. Workaround: DHCP should be disabled in the server. The server’s original IP Address may have changed. Workaround: Restart Cisco Prime Daemon Manager. CTM registry corruption has occurred due to rebooting the server without stopping the Cisco Prime Daemon Manager. Workaround: Delete the ctmregistry and ctmregistry.backup file in NMSROOT/MDC/tomcat/webapps/cwhp/WEB-INF/LIB and then restart the Cisco Prime Daemon Manager. DCR Server and related process might be down. Workaround: Check the processes to make sure DCR Server is running, and restart it if not. The hostname change is not done by the hostnamechange.pl in LMS. Workaround: Hostname change should be done using NMSROOT/bin/hostnamechange.pl in LMS. LMS self signed certificate would have been expired. Workaround: Regenerate the certificate and restart the daemon manager.
I try to reinstall LMS 4.2 with or without patches 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 I always have the same problem. The DCR server process is running.

Regards,
AbelHi Afroz!
Thanks for the quick reply!
1) I checked files - and indeed, the third link of the file was empty.
I restored contents of the same test server (as an attachment - original files) - now everything is working fine. Many thanks for your advice!
Because of what could this happen?
Current settings are as follows (i did not change them):
[lms42/root-ade etc]# ls -la /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/shared/lib/ctm_config.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 casuser casusers 1037 Jul 22 13:54 /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/shared/lib/ctm_config.txt
[lms42/root-ade etc]# ls -la /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/webapps/cwhp/WEB-INF/lib/ctm_config.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 casuser casusers 1084 Jul 22 13:54 /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/webapps/cwhp/WEB-INF/lib/ctm_config.txt
[lms42/root-ade etc]# ls -la /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/lib/ctm_config.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 casuser casusers 1104 Aug 20 12:07 /opt/CSCOpx/MDC/tomcat/lib/ctm_config.txt
2) It was also noted that if address on the link "Inventory>Device Administration>Discovery>Schedule", then an error message appears:
Error
Error in getting the Discovery configuration information, please configure Standard / Custom Discovery and start the schedule.
- no any records for Discovery Schedule and not accessible button Add (for add new Discovery Jobs).
This is related errors? -

LMS Prime 4.1 unable to update dfm and other
Hi all,
I have a LMS PRIME 4.1 (virtual soft) and i try to update "software" but alerady fail with the similare message =>dfm 1.xx is required, but i not arrive to upgrade dfm....
For information the device package are installed corrcetly.
Best regardsThanks much.
Indeed after I moved back the apps, they are now updating. I guess that's the trouble for being too anal.
One more thing, after iPhoto is updated, it still gives me a message "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported", but if I click "Yes", nothing was imported, and there is a Recovered Photo folder, but it was empty.
Any suggestions on the fix?
Thanks again.

LMS4.1 soft appliance 1st aid
Hello,
Im new with the LMS4.1 soft appliance and got some questions after 1st touch with it:
1. Where can you get the documentation about the very special LMS-appliance-CLI? Is it possible to SSH to the linux-shell directly?
2. What is the default root password?
3. necessary Filesharing (e.g. for csv imports from old system) options:
a) SCP: with pscp from a win-client to LMS I get "cant get vty from remote host ...". Are there working compatibility options for common scp-clients?
b) Is it possible to setup an FTP server on LMS appliance?
c) Has SAMBA been installed, so that it is possible to make CIFS mounts?
(1st workarround = FTP server at the win-client)
4. What means the 1st "Access Denied" message after connecting via SSH and SCP successfuly?
5. Where is mping located?
Thx for hints,
SteffenDeveloped a working solution for SCP based file exchange with LMS-Linux-Appliance:
LMS Appliance:
carshell> shell
sysadmin # useradd -g casusers -d /home/scp -s /bin/bash -c "SCP user for file transfer from and to LMS" scp
sysadmin # passwd scp
sysadmin # ...
WinSCP-Settings:
1. create a new profile with the LMS-IP and scp user
2. force SCP as transport. In SSH version-2, SFTP is the standard scp transport. So you will need a combination of version 2 and SCP, because SFTP is not installed at the LMS linux appliance.
The reason for the need of an extra user is: SCP transport needs a shell and carshell is not a proper shell to handle SCP commands beside Default Shell enforcement doesnt work with WinSCP.
3. optional: preset remote dir: /var/adm/CSCOpx/files/rme/dcma/shadow

LMS PRIME 4.2 integrating with ACS 4.2
Hello,
i would like to integrate new lms prime 4.2 with acs.4.2 . .. !!
is there document or user guide for this version of lms?
Thanks in advance.
MarwanIN LMS 4.2 there is nothing which is known as Integration (like LMS 3.x), since it added feature RBAC.
Now ACS can just be used as PAM to have ciscoworks authenticated for Tacacs+ or Radius. After the auth is done, you should have a authorization set in LMS locally for user, else it will be given a default HELP DESK access.
For more details check :
Authentication Using Login Modules - Overview
-Thanks -
Does anyone know if there are plans to develop a LMS Prime 4.2 software patch for the recent Java client updates? Not surprisingly our Topoogy Services feature doesn't work with client side Java patches applied
Hi Bryan,
Uninstall Java from your client machine, Launch topology on the client machine and let LMS decide the best version. It would choose the version as suggested by Afroj and then hopefully you would be able to launch topology at your client site.
Get back in case you still are facing problems.

Prime network control system appliance (NCS)
Hi,
i have a new cisco prime network control system appliance (NCS)
I completed the initial installation however post installation it performed a reboot and is now stuck at Init Level 3.
I have restarted the machine several time but the same result.Umm a new appliance should have had the application pre-installed. Were you upgrading?
In either case, you'll probably need to open a TAC case. Even without Smartnet you should have at least 90-day warranty support -
WS-X6848-SFP module are supported with LMS Prime 4.1 and 4.2
Hi,
I would like to know if WS-X6848-SFP modules are supported with LMS Prime 4.1 and 4.2.
Thanks for your help,
SILVIAIt looks like they just added the WS-X6848-TX variant with the latest C6000IOS CiscoView package update (Version 37, dated 31 July 2012 - readme)
I'd expect the -SFP variant should be in the next update.
You should open a TAC case to make sure that it's brought to the attention of the dev team if they aren't already working on it. One of the tenets of Cisco Prime LMS is "Day 1 support" of new devices. -

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. -
