Minor Upgrades for LMS 1.2

Hallo
I have LMS 1.2 installed on Win2000 Server, i have downloaded CiscoWorks-LMS-2.2-LMS-1.3-Update-1-k9.exe. According to the Dokumentation this is a minor upgrade for LMS 1.2. I tried to install the update but i got a message that all product installed on this system are up to date and press ok to exit setup.
What't wrong?
Thanks
Ali

    CiscoWorks LMS was upgraded from version 2.6 to 3.2
    The Server previously ran at 3.5GB of Memory, but following the upgrade now runs at over 5GB of Memory.
    The Server is a HP Proliant DL380 G4.
    The Server has very poor response times following the upgrade, and we need to understand why this has occurred.
    I guess I  need to know if there are some services that you generally disable to improve performance or do we need to upgrade the hardware.
    Device has 4G of physical memory with 4G swap size.
    Any advice appreciated
    Cheers, Dom

    LMS 3.2 does take more memory that 2.6.  There are more daemon processes which run (e.g. there are now two instances of the DFM servers to support scalability to 5,000 devices).  As for how much RAM will be required, that will depend on the number of devices being managed and the other processes running on the server.  With 4 GB of RAM, you should be able to manage up to 1.5K devices provided HUM is not installed, and the server is dedicated to LMS alone.

  • What are worthy upgrades for my mid-2009 MBP?

    My 13in Macbook Pro is coming to the end of its AppleCare warranty and is currently in the shop for freezing issues. The thing ran great when I first got it but its really starting to show its 3 y/o age now. I have six more years of graduate school/training to do and I hope to use this laptop as long as possible but I'm wililng to make minor upgrades. With that, which of the following things do you think would upgrade speed/functionality
    It's the mid-2009 13in MBP with:
    2.53ghz Core 2 Duo
    4gb ram
    250gb HD at 5400rpm
    The obvious things to me are the 4gb ram and 5400rpm hard drive. I could go up to 8gb ram (I like a lot of windows open) or get an SSD drive. I want an upgrade option that will signficantly improve the performance.
    Thanks for any advice!

    OWC offers what they call a "data doubler" http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7854&Ntt=data+doubler
    It is a mount that you can use to replace your MBP's optical drive with a hard drive.  What I would recommend is installing a smaller less expensive SSD and moving your current HDD (or a newer larger traditional HDD) over to your optical drive's spot.  They also make conversion kits to turn your superdrive into an external USB optical drive.  You're computer is most likely out of warranty, but it wasn't this would certainly void your warranty.
    My personal disclaimer, only endevour to upgrade something you're completely comfortable executing.

    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.

  • 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-

  • 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've removed each of these files it errors out on and it keeps failing. I just removed all files from the sw_images folder and am trying the backup again now.
    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:

  • Problems with Inventory after upgrade to LMS 4.0.1

    Hello,
    after an upgrade to LMS 4.0.1 there is a problem with the inventory. The inventory is not working for all switches, most of them are with CAT OS
    with different versions.
    I have found a bug that resembles the situation but it looks like this was a bug with the previous version of LMS - CSCsv65621.
    Any ideas for some other problems that may cause LMS 4.0.1 not to find in the inventory all the devices?
    Thanks in advance,
    Vesko

    First these are the only CAT OS devices supported:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.0.1/device_support/table/lms401sdt.html#Catalyst%20OS%20Devices
    1. What kind of devices are we talking about here?
    2. Enable the debugs from Admin --> System --> Debug Settings --> Config and Image Management Debugging settings.  Select ICServer and enable the debugs the modules listed.
    3. Duplicate the problem.
    4. Post the show ver along with the LMS logs from CSCOpx/log directory  called dcmaclinet.log, dcmaservices.log, and ICServer.log. Give me a  sample IP or hostname to work with to troubleshoot.
    5. Get the jobs logs from CSCOpx/files/rme/jobs/ICServer/ . The job ID is from step 3 when you recreated the job to duplicate the problem.

  • DFM Error after Upgrade from LMS 3.1 to LMS 3.2

    Hi Cisco Community,
    I have a big problem with the LMS  Application Device Fault Manager 3.2.0 after an Upgrade from LMS 3.1 to LMS 3.2
    The LMS upgrade finished without error.
    The Alerts and Activities Diplay encountered an error with the following message:
    "An exception occured.Please check the AAD.log file for further details"
    You find the "pdshow"  and "netstat" output and also the AAD.log, DeviceManagent.log, EPM.log, brstart.log and TISServer.log attached to this message
    Everything else works fine.
    A Cisco Daemon Manager restart doesn't fix this problem.
    Any ideas to fix this problem?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards
    Stephan B.

    The output of the command "brcontrol" was:
    Error attaching to broker: S25B2005:9002!
    I found a workaround for this error message at the release notes for the Cisco Unified Operations Manager.
    The workaround is:
    1.) net stop crmdmgtd
    2.) Wait 15 minutes
    3.) net start crmdmgtd
    After completion of this workaround, I got the following output:
    Broker is located at: S25B2005:9002      Started: May 07 11:08:47 2010

    You find this outputs attached to this message.
    Unfortunately the errors in the DFM application are the same as before.
    Also I get some error messages in the "Polling and Threshold" menu.
    You find this error message attached to this message.
    I already execute the following steps from the Cisco TAC to solve this problem.....without success.
    Stop Daemons >>> net stop crmdmgtd from CLI.
    Open windows explorer and go to \CSCOpx\databases\dfmFh. Delete dfmFh.log.
    Go to \CSCOpx\databases\dfmFh>  from CLI and run:
    dbsrv10.exe -f dfmFh.db from CLI.
    Similarly open windows explorer and go to \CSCOpx\databases\dfmEpm. Delete dfmEpm.log.
    dbsrv10.exe -f dfmEpm.db from CLI.
    Similarly open windows explorer and go to \CSCOpx\databases\dfmInv. Delete dfmInv.log.
    dbsrv10.exe -f dfmInv.db from CLI.
    Note : Please check a screen will pop up each time you execute these commands.
    Then, Start daemons >>> net start crmdmgtd from CLI.

  • 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).

  • Graphic Card Upgrade for HP-Pavilion dv6t-7000

    Hello. I have the HP Pavlilion dv6t-7000 with the NVIDIA GT650M 1GB grpahics card. Now because of my work, i need to extends my graphic card memory. So I want to ask if my laptop is possible to upgrade to GT650M 2GB card.
    My product number is A5F74AV. And my wannary is end on 8/24/2013.
    And this laptop is a gift of my aunt from USA, and I'm living in Viet Nam now. So if yes, can HP Vietnam do the upgrade for me? My aunt's family is very busy so I can't resend my laptop and ask them to return to you.
    Thank you very much!

    Hi:
    The only way to upgrade the video card in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard which would cost as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics.
    If you had HP do the upgrade, it would probably cost more than buying 2 notebooks with better graphics than yours.

  • I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model. I have read some reviews of Maverick and Yosemite making the older macs slower. Is this true?

    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008), Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4GB Memory. and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model? Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite?
    When I had gone to the apple care centre in India a few months ago to upgrade my OSX to Mountain Lion, I was told that considering my macbook pro's specs, upgrading it would just make it less efficient, and that I should stick to Snow Leopard unless I consider buying a newer mac that would benefit from it. Is this true? I find it a bit hard to believe. Which update is most recommended?
    I also notice that my mac has gotten considerably slower. While using chrome, it buffers and struggles with even just 5 tabs open. Could this have something to do with my current ios? As a precaution, I have always been making sure I have enough free space on disk i.e around 70 - 100 free out of 250GB.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

  • Processor Upgrade for iMac G3

    Hello, I didn't see any particular posts specifically pertaining to the slot loading iMac (Graphite)..I hope someone can help me out.
    I have a G3 Graphite iMac, upgraded RAM currently running Tiger. I used to use it but wiped it clean, re-installied the OS and created a separate account for my 8y/o son, so essentially there aren't many apps on there. For some reason it's running slower than it should, even with just Safari open. Is there a fix or possibly a processor upgrade for this model (I keep seeing that there isn't, but I want to be sure).
    It's either that or constantly hearing my son complain of the lagtime and ask for our laptops instead...

    According to Mactracker at one point there was a 700 MHz model available in Graphite & Snow. If you could find a 700 MHz G3 CRT iMac logic board on eBay it might be possible to upgrade the processor speed. You could also install a Matshita SR-8184 or SR-8186 DVD-ROM drive.
    There's firmware available for both drives that allow them to be flashed to RPC1 or region free meaning they can play DVDs from any region in the world. Normally the drive is restricted to being able to only play Region 3 DVDs from the US. If you order a Matshita SR-8184CD optical drive from www.welovemacs.com call their 800 number listed on their website & be sure to ask for Jessica or Faith since some of the optical drives they sell don't have RPC1 firmware available for them.
