NAT and CiscoWorks Prime LMS 4.1

Hi,
Using LMS 4.1 with an address that are natted I see that
SWIM-jobs to fetch IOS-images are using the server's "un-natted" address
Can't find how to setup the nat-address in LMS so the devices uses that one instead when communicating with the server with scp for instance..
I believe this was possible in LMS 3.x, but how is it configured in LMS 4.1?
Please advice
Thanks,
Fredrik

I am not sure if I understand you correctly but if you go for a physical appliance, NCS and LMS both needs their own dedicated appliances. Have a look here:
Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1 Ordering and Licensing Guide
that's what is written in section " Ordering Information for New Customers" point 5.:
5. Purchase the physical appliance if the desired deployment option is a physical appliance rather than a virtual appliance. Both Cisco Prime NCS and Cisco Prime LMS support the physical appliance deployment option. Each product requires its own dedicated physical appliance. Refer to Table 2.

Migrating from CiscoWorks LMS 3.1 to Cisco Prime LMS 4.2

Hi Everyone
My client was formerly having CiscoWorks LMS 3.1. Recently, they purchased Cisco Prime Infrastructure v1.2, which comes with Cisco Prime LMS 4.2. Can I migrate the database (equipment list, usernames etc.) of the CiscoWorks LMS 3.1 to Cisco Prime LMS 4.2? If yes, how do I do this? Please kindly advice.
Shown below, were the Part Numbers quoted to the end client.

Thanks Marvin for your advice. Just one last question, there's a statement in the URL that you've provided
"Ensure that the passwords, HTTPS port and SMTP server details are same in both LMS 3.2 SP1, LMS 4.0.1 or LMS 4.1 server and LMS 4.2 server with Symantec Veritas implementation, while migrating data from non-HA to HA environment."
Does this mean my client need to purchase Symantec Veritas, as well?

Prime LMS 4.2.1 Netconfig and Template TFTP/SSH issue

I have cisco Prime 4.2.1 installed and am trying to deploy templates and Adhoc Netconfigs. The jobs are failing with the following message:
Command(s) failed on the device TFTP: Failed on the device. SSH: Failed to establish SSH connection to 10.104.114.231 - Cause: Authentication failed on device 3 times.
If I deploy a Netconfig Task, say just adding a Syslog Server to the same switch it succeeds, no problem.
I am using Cisco ACS 5.2 - TACACS and have configured the tacacspromtps.ini file for the username and password prompt. I can log onto the switch with the Prime Account no problem using Telnet. SSH has not been configured on the switch. I can't find where the protocols for connecting to devices are configured within Prime LMS?

hi gary,
based on my understanding, its because the device is not configured with SSH.
is the device running SSH enabled (K2 or K9) image? if yes, you can enable the SSH.
if no, then perhaps you want to try find it here to change it to telnet

Prime LMS 4.1 and VMWARE ESX 5.0

Can Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 be deployed on VMware ESX server 5.0 or not ?

No LMS 4.1 is not supported on ESXi 5.0. LMS 4.1 supports the following Virtualization Systems:
•VMware ESX server 3.0.x
•VMware ESX Server 3.5.x
•VMWare ESX Server 4.0.x
•VMWare ESX Server 4.1
•VMWare ESXi Server 4.0
•VMware ESXi Server 4.1
•Hyper V Virtualization (As an installable in Windows 2008)
For more details check:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.1/install/guide/prereq.html#wp1119955
On a side note, though a OVF/OVA file may be an issue, but you can try to install LMS 4.1 on a virtualized Win/Sol guest OS host, where it should work mostly. But for any issues further, Cisco or TAC may refer to this as an unsupported installation, for any t/s or support.
Else, you may upgrade to LMS 4.2 which is supported on ESXi 5.0.

Cisco Prime network and cisco prime infrastructure

Hi,
What is the difference between Cisco Prime Network and Cisco Prime infrastructure.
Please advice.

I assume you are asking about Cisco Prime LAN Management System (LMS) vs. Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI).
LMS is currently the leading Cisco offering for wired infrastructure management. It is the evolution of the earlier CiscoWorks LMS, CiscoWorks RWAN CiscoWorks 2000, CWSI, VLAN Director, original CiscoWorks classic etc. products going back almost 20 years.
PI is the equivalent Cisco offering for wireless LANs and is the successor to NCS and WCS products.
The overlap and confusion comes from the fact the Cisco is positioning PI as the overall wireless and wired management platform and gradually introducing wired network management features to make it equal (and eventually exceed) LMS's capabilities.
There is a comparison table here that shows the current differences. A major new release of PI (2.0) is due out shortly which will close many (but not all) of the gaps on that table.

Migrate from Prime LMS to Prime Infrastructure

I'm currently running CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 on Windows 2003 under VMware and just got upgrade licensing for Prime Infrastructure 1.2. I am assuming that I will need to upgrade the current server to Prime LMS 4.2 in order to ensure that data migration to Prime Infrastructure goes well. I am planning to follow Cisco's recommendation to run Prime LMS and Prime Infrastructure in parallel for a time and migrate individual functions.
My real question is about Syslog handling. All of the managed devices are currently sending Syslog data to LMS. As a last step in the migration, is it possible to change the IP address of the Prime Infrastructure server to replace the Prime LMS server so that the Prime Infrastructure server will just start getting all the Syslog data, or do I need to go change hundreds of managed devices to point to a new address?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Putting LMS up against Prime Infrastructure is like comparing Apples to Oranges.
LMS is a very mature product and Prime Infrastructure is in it infancy stages...
My suggestion would be to leave the current LMS system up and running; bring a Prime Infrastructure server up with a Demo License; add a few of each type of device to your Prime Infrastructure server; setup a proof of concept scenario to prove you can do everything in Prime as you can do in LMS.

Cisco Prime LMS 4.1, "License Server/Daemon Manager is down."

Hello,
We having problem with Cisco Prime LMS running version 4.1.
When open Home page shows the next message: "License Server/Daemon Manager is down. Please check license.log for more information." (see attached)
The daemon server is stopped already and i can't restart it, see below:
C:\>net start crmdmgtd
The Cisco Prime Daemon Manager service is starting.
The Cisco Prime Daemon Manager service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
Thanks

It looks like you're seeing CSCte49301. Follow the release note steps to solve this:
Symptom:
The EssentialsDM daemon hangs in a Waiting to initialize state (as seen in the output of the pdshow command). Additionally, one might see "Error connecting to JRM" in Resource Manager Essentials applications.
Conditions:
This occurs on Windows servers after the patch for KB968930 is installed, and only if the Windows Remote Management service was started prior to starting CiscoWorks Daemon Manager.
Workaround:
Shutdown CiscoWorks Daemon Manager with the following command from the server's command prompt:
net stop crmdmgtd
Delete the following two files:
NMSROOT\MDC\tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\lib\ctmregistry
NMSROOT\MDC\tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\lib\ctmregistry.backup
Restart CiscoWorks Daemon Manager with the following command:
net start crmdmgtd
If that does not work, then the Windows Remote Management service must be stopped, and disabled. Then, CiscoWorks Daemon Manager must be restarted.

Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 - /cwportal/group/lms/lms not found error after login

After upgrading the MDF (Common Services) and the device packages on our Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 installation we now get an error after logging in. The error is as follows;
Status
Not Found The requested resource was not found.
https://X.X.X.X/cwportal/group/lms/lms
The top of the page is the normal menu and anything we choose there works fine so we only see this just after logging in to CiscoWorks.
Has anyone experienced this problem or do you have any idea what might be causing it?
The installation is running on a Cisco appliance.
kind regards,
Michel

It's being access from a client using Internet Explorer 8 (which is what I'm forced to use due to company policy) by access the DNS name of the ciscoworks server and logging in.. It worked previous to installing the patches so I'm not exactly sure what has happened. I'll try to get another PC to test from though to see if it's something to do with my browser or PC.
If I add -configuration to the url it works just fine.

Prime LMS Login Fail

We installed a fresh prime LMS 4.2 successfully, we were able to login to the GUI, later we restored a backup taken from ciscoworks lms 4.0.1 but we were unable to login using any of the new created admin password or the old one as well.
We reset the password using the resetpasswd.exe utility but still we are unable to login, it gives a wrong credetials error.
If any one can assist in this case, thanks

Please make sure of following :
-The old LMS was not configured for AAA auth.
- The username and password of old LMS 4.0.1 should work, try it.
In case it doesnt work, try following :
1. Stop the Daemon Manager by typing on DOS: net stop crmdmgtd.
2. Go to this location:
Windows: C:\Program Files\CSCOpx\lib\classpath\com\cisco\nm\cmf\servlet\cwpass
Solaris: /opt/CSCOpx/lib/classpath/com/cisco/nm/cmf/servlet/cwpass
3. Rename cwpass to cwpass.oldbackup.
4. Now go to:
Windows: C:\Program Files\CSCOpx\lib\classpath\com\cisco\nm\cmf\servlet\orig\cwpass.
Solaris: /opt/CSCOpx/lib/classpath/com/cisco/nm/cmf/servlet/orig/cwpass
5. Copy the \CSCOpx\lib\classpath\com\cisco\nm\cmf\servlet\orig\cwpass to
\CSCOpx\lib\classpath\com\cisco\nm\cmf\servlet\. Be careful NOT to delete the \orig\cwpass or you will loose the ability to reset the admin password.
6. Restart the Daemon Manager: net start crmdmgtd.

Issues with Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.3

Hi,
I'm trailing Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.3 Soft appliance on ESXi before I deploy it into a live environment and am having some issues.
I've upgraded to version 4.2.3 and the box was working fine after the upgrade however on power it up today the Apache service will not start.
If I look at the LMS application I see this for the Apache service.
"Apache Administrator has shut down this server 0 "
I have tried to starting it.
CiscoLMS42/admin# application start Apache
% Application failed to start
CiscoLMS42/admin#
If I run an application operation debug at the same time I get the following output.
CiscoLMS42/admin# 6 [5343]: application:operation cars_install.c[1145] [admin]: Application initialization initiated for appname: Apache, operation: 0
7 [5343]: application:operation cars_install.c[1146] [admin]: Operations: O-APP_START, 1-APP_STOP, 2-APP_STATUS

3 [5343]: application:operation install_cli.c[281] [admin]: Error while starting application - Application: Apache ErrorCode: -999
I'm at a complete lose as to where to look next, failing anything else I'll have to rebuild it, but it would be nice to know how to get the Apache up and running again.
regards
Rich

Hi Richard,
I see the following:
[ Thu Apr 18 20:53:11 GMT 2013 ] TomcatMonitor After gettingAJPPort : ajpPort = 9009 and host =CiscoLMS42
[ Thu Apr 18 20:53:11 GMT 2013 ] TomcatMonitor theMgr constructor successful.

[ Thu Apr 18 20:53:11 GMT 2013 ] TomcatMonitor Tomcat is not ready, it's coming up Connection refused
It looks like the hostname cannot be resolved. Can you try to add a static entry in /etc/hosts for the IP of the server and CiscoLMS42?
Restart the daemon manager and it should work.

Any way to find unused ports in Prime LMS 4.2.3 ?

Hi all,
We have just installed Prime LMS 4.2.3 (about a week ago), and it is pretty much working as expected, except for one thing - I cannot get any data back from the reclaim ports report.
I have tried both the Ports Up and Ports Down options, and have even taken the time frame down to one day, but always receive a "no records" result. Has anyone got this working?
Pretty much every other report I've tried so far returns results, just not this one.... We really need to use it to determine (over a period of time) what our actual port usage is for our replacement schedule over the next few years.
-Pete

Hi Afroz,
The detailed device report is really useful, as it contains the time of the port change - I ran it for the switch I was interested in, and then exported the data into Excel and sorted on port status and change date to get the info I needed.
I also ran the "Reclaim up ports" again with the interval set for 15 days with zero result, however when I changed this to 5 days I started to get some info - my guess is that the data that is needed for this report is collected once every week or so.
My server has been running for nearly two weeks now, so I will let it do it's thing for about a month, then run the report again to get some better statistics.
Thanks for your suggestions, much appreciated !
-Pete

Problems getting Prime LMS to start up

Just got the Cisco Prime Lan NMS software. Getting this error when I try to turn up the appliance after I deployed it in ESXi -
Power On virtual machine:Failed to power on VM.
See the error stack for details on the cause of this problem.
Time: 7/16/2013 9:32:26 AM
Target: Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution
ESXi: ucs-c1b4
Error Stack
Failed to power on VM.

This is being deployed on a Cisco UCS B200 M3 with 128GB of ram. There is nothing else deployed on this blade. I elected for thin provisioning on disk storage.
Wouldnt expect that I would have to tweak the install any.
Suggestions ?

5.1 is not supported - only 4.1 and 5.0 (reference). That's most likely the root cause.
I didn't have any specific information for Prime LMS OVA but even though some folks have reported success with Prime Infrastructure 1.3 on 5.1, the product managers told me at Cisco Live that 5.1 would not be supported until PI 2.0. If they ever release an LMS 4.3 (TBD), it might have ESX 5.1 support.

Prime LMS 4.2 installation with solaris 10 volume manager

Hello
Is it possible to use Solaris Volume Manager for disk mirroring in prime LMS 4.2 installation over sparc arquitecture?
This is intended for having hard disk redundancy support.
Is there any documented reference?
O.S. Solaris 10 08/11
Cisco prime LMS 4.2
Regards

They were not tested together, and I recommend they not be installed on the same zone instance (due to potential conflicts). Now, if you're certain you have a server that can accommodate both suites (in terms of resources), create separate zones for each suite. This will eliminate the conflict possibility while still giving you one overall physical machine to manage.
