Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Automatically add remove devices
Dears,
I'm basically looking for a dcrcli equivalent to use on prime infrastructure 2.0.
Customer has a central repository of devices that must be monitored. When devices are added or removed there, they automagically appear or disappear in the other systems.
Does something like this exist or is this on the roadmap?
Cheers,
Michel
Hi Scott,
Upto 7.3 config guide it was documented we have to reboot WLC when we configuring SNMP v3 which is wrong. (here is 7.3 config guide link for reference). May be older version (prior to 7.0) had that requirement, not too sure about it
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.3/configuration/guide/b_wlc-cg_chapter_0100.html#d16741e4514a1635
From 7.4 onwards config guide does not talk about it all. I deleted the default SNMPv3 user & create a new user in 7.4 & add it to prime without rebooting WLC.
Once you configureed a SNMPv3 user on a WLC, I do no think you can edit/change the password. You have to delete the user & recreate it with modified username/password.Then re-add the WLC to prime
The behaviour you mentioned is with any of later codes of WLC ?

Thunar doesn't automatically mount removable devices
This is a newbie question, but I cannot find how Thunar automatically mounts removable devices. I've read the wiki and it says that I don't have to do anything else besides installing Thunar. Once I plug in my removable device, it can be seen in lsblk, but I need to manually mount it using the terminal. Thunar doesn't do anything to make it appear in the file system. Did I miss something?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Th … me_Manager says
While Thunar can support automatic mounting and unmounting of removable media, the Thunar Volume Manager allows extended functionality, such as automatically running commands or automatically opening a Thunar window for mounted media.
so thunar-volman shouldn't be required.
Exactly. However, I tried to install the volume manager, but it didn't help. It should work without it.
karol wrote:Do you have gvfs installed?
I didn't (judging from the fact that writing gvfs in the terminal didn't find anything). I installed it, but nothing changed. How to configure it?

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 and add a WLC device
Hi,
One question regarding to add a device / WLC Controller into NCS 2.0. I done this in the past with NCS 1.3 without problems
but now I don´t know why but if I add a device into the NCS 2.0 I get the the message CLI Failure / timeout.
I doublechecked all on the controller but I don´t see any failure . For my understanding I have to add a user under"Local Managmeent User " and then add this credentials into the Telnet/SSH Parameters on the NCS 2.0 .
Thanks for help.Hi Scott,

Setting up Prime Infrastructure to manage 2504 WLC, trying to add Lobby Ambassador and I get this error message:
User add failed : Some unexpected internal error has occurred. If the problem persists please report to the Tech Support.
Technically, this is my second attempt at setting up PI. I set it up initially with the wrong version of PI and created a lobby ambassador. I followed the instructions from the forum with a similar problem that said to remove the trap receiver on the WLC from my first attempt at installing PI.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11110686/failed-add-device-wcs-reason-common-1-some-unexpected-internal-error-has-occured
I'm now able to add a Lobby Ambassador as long as its not the same username that I created on the previous PI setup. So I suspect this Lobby Ambassador username is somewhere on the 2504 WLC, but I can't find it anywhere to remove it.I have just been struggling with a similar issue on a fresh install of Prime 2.1 Upgraded to 2.1.1.
If I try to create the user with lobby ambassador role it just fails with "unexpected internal error".
I eventually found that by creating the user as a normal admin user first - the user is added. You can then go in a remove the admin role and change the role to lobby ambassador. This works with no internal error and the lobby admin user is working fine.
I would say it is just a bug. -
Prime Infrastructure 2.1 - Out Of Sync Devices
Hi all,
We are running a Cisco Prime Infrastructure Appliance (Version 2.1) to mange/monitor/configure our wired network infrastructure. We have been able to successfully add all of the network infrastructure devices to Prime and have had relative success in image deployment, reporting etc.
However, my query is in relation to the Configuration Archives. Currently Prime is indicating that 90% of our devices are 'Out of Sync'. I know that this means that there are discrepancies between the startup and running configs. I have compared the startup and running configs on some of the affected devices and the only differences I can see were in relation to the snmp-server contact XXXX entry and the self-signed certificate entry.
Can anyone tell me how I can go about troubleshooting this or how to bring the device configurations back into sync.
Many thanks,
John PHi John,
If you navigate to Operate > Configuration Archives it will display a list of all your devices that are listed as out of sync. From here you can sort to the devices that are listed as Out of sync, select the ones that are listed as such and schedule an overwrite. There is also an option to archive immediately after it overwrites as well. It may take a bit for it to update through this page, but navigating to individual devices through device work center and clicking on the configuration archive tab, will yield that the out of sync (startup/running mismatch) message will switch to no.
Regards,

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 - Email alert when device is unreachable
Is there a way for PI to send email alerts when a device becomes unreachable? I know there are alerts when an interface goes down, but I can't find how to get prime to alert me ONLY when a device becomes unreachable.
Does anyone know how to do this? I can't believe such a simple feature would be so difficult to configure...PI also generates an event when it finds unreachable device. An event is an occurrence or detection of some condition in or around the network. An event is a distinct incident that occurs at a specific point in time. Examples of events include:
Port status change
Device reset
Device becomes unreachable by the management station
You can view the list of events using the Event Browser.
Choose Operate > Alarms & Events , then click Events to access the Events Browser page.
Prime Infrastructure discovers events by automatically polling devices and discovering changes; for example, device unreachable.
For more details on Events, please check here :

New installation of Prime Infrastructure 2.2.0 (PI-VA-2.2.0.0.158.ova)
installed fixes/software/device packs:
PI 2.2.1 Poodle Fix (installed)
PI 2.2.1 Maintenance Release (installed,ncs stopped,rebooted)
Prime Infrastrucutre 2.2 Device Pack 3 (installed,ncs stopped,rebooted)
Licences installed (ncs stopped,rebooted)
Added all devices via Bulk Import (Inventory>Device Management>Network Devices)
Problem 1:
The Cisco 5500 WLCs are not listed in Inventory>Device Management>Network Devices (see screen shot) but listed under "All Devices"!
The Cisco 4400 WLCs and the 8500 WLCs are listed within their subgroup.
Devices are in "Managed State"
Problem 2: fixed! (Browser issue)
Problem 3:
Unable to run "Wired Detailed Device Inventory" report because I get the error message: Failed to run report: Unable to retrieve data for: Chassis Information (if Chassis Information is selected, if System Information is selected I get the error message with ...retrieve data for:System Information)
All devices do have an "Admin Status = Managed" and the Last Inventory Collections Status = Completed.
Has anyone the same issues or a tip for me?
Another topic, the "User Defined Fileds" are not exported when with running a "Device Export" (Inventory > Device Management > Network Devices). ;-(

BastianHallo Bastian,
I think you still have browser issue, Using IE is still the best with Prime.
I have exactly same prime 2.2 and installed fixes/software/device packs.
I have no problem I can see all views. I use now IE 11, with Chrome 42.0.2311.90 and firefox 37.01 I have problems too with lots of views. You have not tell what browser + version you have.
Since you have same prime 2.2 as me. I have other problems, can you check yours?
Can you see a functional CLI template page at Configuration > Templates > Features & Technologies:

Hi all:
I found out that the discovered devices (after successful scanning) in the main Dashboard Detail cannot or take very long time to auto-refreshing the status change.
May I know is there any way by Command Line at the "Root" (I am using an OVA version) or by setting inside the Prime Infrastructure with GUI method to do scheduled Refreshing on the Dashboard Detail?
Thanks!

Prime Infrastructure 2.1 problem with sorting devices in device groups
Hi,
I have a problem with prime infrastructure, namely prime is not doing appropriate sorting of devices in default device groups.
Example: device type > routers > Cisco 2800 series integrated services routers - under shown results there are Cisco 2911 Integrated Service router, Cisco 2901 etc.
Any solution?

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 no 'Add a WLAN' option
Hello,
I've started to pay with PI 2.0 and I've noticed that there is no option to add new WLAN.
I am following manual:
Step 1 Choose Configure > Controllers.
Step 2 Click the IP address of the appropriate controller.
Step 3 From the left sidebar menu, choose WLANs > WLAN Configuration.
Step 4 From the Select a command drop-down list, choose Add a WLAN.
but there is no 'Add a WLAN' option. The only ones I've got there are:
Delete WLAN(s)
Schedule status
Mobility Anchors
Foreign Controller Mappings
Does anyone know how to get that option there?
Thanks
TomaszHi,
you're right that this can only be done with the template but to create one I needed to go to:
Design --> Feature Design
and then under Templates:
Features and Technologies --> Controller --> WLANs --> WLAN Configuration
There I've created new template for WLAN and then deployed it to controllers.
Maybe that's better way to do it, when you have many controllers.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
Last month I was in London (Cisco Live 2013) I have spoken with a Cisco Prime (BU) Specialist. He told me verbally that there is currently a 75% discount for L-PI12-1.5K-UP. Can anyone confirm this and tell me what the part number is?
Thanks !
Gertjan Scharlooyou would need to contact your Cisco Partner/SE to be able to get those details.

Prime Infrastructure API add device
I've been looking at the Prime Infrastructure 2.1 API at /webacs/api/v1/ on my PI instance but I can't seem to find a way to add devices using the API? Looking to write a script for our techs to run after the provisioning of a new device and would love a way to get it added to Prime. Any ideas?
It isn't possible in Prime Infrastructure 2.1 to add devices via API, however, it now is possible with version 2.2. I've used it myself and I can confirm that it works.

Can you go over the licensing method with Prime Infrastructure 1.2 please?
Raun, you can check out the following link for ordering guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps12239/products_data_sheets_list.html
I currently have NCS and do NOT currently have LMS. I know I can move to Prime Infrastructure through Cisco Product Upgrade Tool. However, what I am confused about is do I still have to buy LMS to have LMS functionality in Prime Infrastructure 1.2?
==> Not at all. The converged product will give you basic management capability for routers and switches that LMS provided in this release. Feature/Functionality will keep on growing with upcoming releases.
If not, do the licenses I transfer into Prime Infrastructure 1.2 from NCS also work for devices to work under LMS?
==> Licensing is different than NCS or LMS. You don't have to transfer the license. Each install of Prime Infrastructure will have a unique UID string on which the licenses are based. A new license will be applied to the product.
Mean, can my currently 350 licenses be used for AP's as in NCS and routers in the LMS portion of Prime Infrastructure 1.2?
==> I would recommend getting a total count of your wired and wireless devices and match the right SKU based on that.
Hope this helps.. Let me know if you have any further questions,

Ciscoworks LMS 3.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2
In order to complete the upgrade the LMS 3.x runs over a physical server that ends with the upgrade(server its gona be retired), the think is that the Cisco Prime comes with an UCS and its gona run over a VM. The question here is the "Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1 - Maj Upg from LMS 2.x/3.x" media could be runs as clean install, I mean with no LMS 3.x intalled before? an the "Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 - 1.5K Device Maj Upg Lic" could be registered with no license installed of LMS 3.x?
There are a couple of things to distinguish:
1. The product SKU you need to order to migrate from LMS 3 to LMS 4.2.
2. The license file that is installed on that new LMS server.
#1 is based on Cisco agreeing, usually through the partner or reseller you are working with, that you are entitled to order the upgrade SKU (vs. buy a complete new product). The upgrade SKUs are all listed in the ordering guide here.
L-PI12-1.5K-UP (note - NOT the 1.1 product description you noted in the original post) would be the SKU for a major upgrade from LMS 2.x/3.x to the current Prime Infrastructure 1.2 release at the 1500 device license level. That upgrade includes licenses for both PI 1.2 and Prime LMS 4.2. You may choose which to install - most LMS customers stick with LMS for now as PI 1.2 does not yet have full feature parity. Your managed devices should not exceed 1500 combined (in this case) but that combined number is not enforced technically by the product's license daemon.
Once you have purchased the product and have the media you can install it on any host that meets the installation prerequisites as far as OS, memory, disk etc. A clean installation of LMS does not check for or require a previous installation as far as technical checks.
#2 - Once you have installed the new LMS server (and optionally a step near the end of installation, you need to add in the license file (*.lic file). That is obtained through the Cisco licensing portal (or via the TAC if you prefer) using the Product Activation Key (PAK) received with your product. -

[email protected]SOme of the similar discussion happened here, which would be helpful.
To answer your questions :
A.> Yes all three of them are separate software.
LMS :--> Ciscoworks Prime LMS is about to be end-of-life software which will phase out in favour of its successor Cisco Prime Infrastructure. This Software was the key application from Cisco to help manage the entire Wired Infrastructure for cisco devices, like Routers, switches, VPN, FW's, etc.
NCS:--> Wireless Control System (WCS) was the LMS equivalent software to manage Cisco's wireless infrastructure. It evolved as a new Generation Network Control System (NCS).
Cisco Prime Infrastructure :--> Cisco felt market demand to have a unified experience to manage both Wired and Wireless Infrastructure, hence Cisco Prime Infrastructure was introduced which is NCS+LMS. Not all features of LMS are migrated, hence customer's are allowed to use LMS latest version 4.2.x for wired network devices, if required.
B.> Prime is now provided with an inbaked Linux kernel to remove dependency from Windows or Unix (Solaris) OS, hence it is only available as OVA deployment image to be used under virtualized environment and can take benefit of virtualized infrastructure.
FOllowing are the download links :
Download LMS 4.2 here
Download PI 2.1 here
