PRIME Infrastructure OVA co-residency with CUCM on UCS

Hallo All.
Has anyone installed the PRIME Infrastructure OVA alongside CUCM on a UCS?
I've been looking at this document
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_Virtualization_Sizing_Guidelines but it is vague on PRIME Infra.
Also, the CUCM I am installing alongside is v8.5
Any thoughts?
Cheers
David

The PI documentation is lagging a bit - the only requirements for the current release are what's in the Quick Start Guide here.
There is no requirement for dedicated cores. As long as your VM meets the hardware specification of the QSG, your installation should be OK. (Of course, it doesn't hurt to provide more than the minimum requirements.)

  • Does Cisco Prime Infrastructure supports monitoring CPU,Memory, HDD for UCS , VMWare?

    Does Cisco Prime Infrastructure supports monitoring CPU,Memory, HDD for UCS , VMWare?

    Prime Infrastructure/ Assurance is  positioned today more towards managing network elements and network performance,  rather than server infrastructure. We are in the process of adding Datacenter  component support, with more focus on Nexus and UCS- due later this  year.
    Having said that, Prime Infrastructure allows the system user to  add custom SNMP polling templates, which can then be used for polling any SNMP  based values from any SNMP enabled device. These can be used to collect the  information you specified below and the polled information will be available in  dashboards and reports.

  • Prime Infrastructure 2.x tacacs+ with radiator

    Trying to setup Prime Infrastructure 2.x (2.2) to use Tacacs+.  The Tacacs service is running on a Linux server running Radiator(4.12).  With Radius and Radiator all we needed to do is define the user group and all the tasks associated with that group were inherited.  
    When configuring the TACACs configuration files have tried various permutations of adding the cisco-avpair(cisco-av-pair) reply attrs on authentication and/or authorization. When defining the group or using the individual tasks I get the following error message:
    "no authorization information found for remote authenttication user. please check the correctness of the associated task(s) and Virtual Domain(s) in the remote server"
    <ServerTACACSPLUS>
        Key SECRET

        # General Authorization rule format:
       AuthorizeGroup core-group permit protocol=HTTP service=NCS {cisco-av-pair="virtual-domain0=ROOT-DOMAIN" cisco-av-pair="role0=Super Users" }
    </ServerTACACSPLUS>

    It's not yet supported. Cisco doesn't generally publish roadmaps publicly for future support. The best you can do via public sources is to continue to watch the Supported Devices lists for updates.

  • 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? 
    Tnx

    Hi all:
    I have tried using Designing Monitoring Template to set the Health Check Polling time from default 15 minutes to 5 minutes and also tried also 1 minute.
    The result is 5 minutes is working but 1 minute is not working.
    May I know any one can help on this?
    Many thanks!

  • Prime Collaboration will not sync with CUCM

    Hello All
    I do not normally find myself asking questions but I am new with the BE6K. I have installed prime collaboration. Added CUCM,CUC,CUPS as devices. I have added the name and the IP to a media server capability of Unified CM. I have then updated the call processor to the correct version. I only have the option for https. I have LDAP Sychronization set to Sync and Authenticate and I have set the password correctly for the user account.
    When I go to synchronize the infrastructure I get
    ERROR: Failed to sync ConferenceBridge
    ERROR: Failed to sync VoiceMailPort
    ERROR: Failed to sync VoiceMailPilot
    ERROR: Failed to sync IpPhoneServices
    ERROR: Failed to sync VoiceDeviceGroup
    ERROR: Sync aborted due to errors.
    I know that LDAP is working fine on CUCM. I am sure I can figure this out manually in all of the different servers but would like to get PCP working. I can't sell it to a customer if we can't get it working.
    I do wonder if it is a certificate issue because CUCM always prompts. I can fix this easy on my desktop by just installing the cert. Could that be the answer and if so how would I import the cert or the chain if I added a computer cert to CUCM from our certificate server?
    How would I go about troubleshooting this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the fast response.  CUCM is 9.1(2) and I would believe that PCP is the same.  I did notice at the splash scree that it says my cucm is "host or service not found".

  • Prime Infrastructure failed to communicate with MSE

    We have PI 2.0 and MSE 7.4.110 running on VMware under same subnet. Both of this able to ping each other but unable to communicate SOAP/XML via HTTP/HTTPS. I tried to telnet MSE port 443 also no respond but I check on MSE firewall is "disable". I also try to stop/start the service with below script but no luck.
    Step 1 Tstop the software, enter /etc/init.d/msed stop.
    Step 2 To check status enter /etc/init.d/msed status.
    Step 3 To start the software, enter: /etc/init.d/msed start.
    After checking on MSE with Step 2 command, i found out that both HTTP and HTTPS is "false". Is they anyway to enable this services?
    Has anyone ever solve the problem?

    I had a similar issue with only difference being the Use HTTPS: null. I ended up re-running the setup ( via /opt/mse/setup/setup.sh) and reset the NCS username and password back to the default (select D). Then it worked straight away.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 - SNMPv3 can´t get CPU, memory info.

    Hi,
    I have a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 deployment with Catalyst 2960S switches. Switches are running IOS 15.0(2) SE2. All switches have SNMPv2 configured, and all appears to be fine. I'm migrating one switch to SNMPv3, and PI have reachability to the switch, but PI doesn´t receive traps from the switch, and neither poll CPU and memory information (all displays 0.00%).
    Somebody have a sample configuration of SNMPv3 with Cisco Prime (Infrastructure or LMS)? I cannot find a Cisco official (or unofficial) document related to this version, usually all mention SNMPv2.
    Thank you.
    Eduardo

    Hi Eduardo:
    SNMPv3 is indeed supported for general administration.  There's a bug with SWIM using SNMPv3 (CSCud92758), but you should be fine for just monitoring.  Have you deleted the switch, waited until Prime Infrastructure told you it was gone, then readded it as SNMPv3 natively?  Bug CSCug78869 keeps things from working well when changing SNMP versions. 
    If you don't have the new Update-1 patch for Prime Infrastructure 1.3.0.20 installed (filename PI_1.3.0.20_Update_1-12.tar.gz) installed, I'd suggest you get it.  While it's not going to specifically address this issue, there are a lot of really good fixes in it.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Express OVA failing to boot up

    Hi all, i'm wondering if you can help me, i'm trying to deploy Cisco Prime Infrastructure in a lab envrionment but it's not working correctly.
    I've deployed "PI-VA-2.1.0.0.87-Express.ova" to a VMware ESXI 5.1U2 hypervisor with 2x AMD 8128HE CPUs, 96GB RAM, ASUS KGPE-D16 motherboard. The installation works fine, I can answer all the questions and enter the IP address. Once the system reboots, it hangs at the following screen:
    "Kernel direct mapping tables up to 340000000 @ 10000-1c000" is the last thing I see
    Interestingly at this point I can actually ping the VM... I cant connect to the managemnet console on HTTPS though :(
    I did find some related info on a blog https://deekayen.net/kernel-alive-lock which mentions booting with "noapic", however when I try to press "P" on the grub boot loader it prompts me to enter a password which I dont know! My normal admin passwords arent working.
    Any help to ge tthis running would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    Ben

    The server takes about 30 mins to boot up, it's not actually broken it's just extremely slow .. I have found numerous people reporting this issue online, and our production system also does this! I guess my original problem is solved, although I would prefer this issue not to exist!

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 OVA - URL/FTP not working

    The ESXi install of the theNCS  OVA was successful. NCS seems to load and activate interfaces. The console session is working. Using compliant browsers; https://<ip address> does not work. When I stop "ncs" or halt the vm the web page responds shortly but then the connection is lost.  I used "show ports" and tried https://<ip address>/8082 and get a login from the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Health Monitor URL. There is a prompt for the authorization key. How can I confirm the installation is complte and all services are up and running
    Thanks
    Terry

    After digging almost 1 month, I found the answer.
    When you do provision from ESXi with ova file, you have to create "Thick Provision" otherwise, you wiil have same problem such as "some services are not up"
    In my case, I am running ESXi on the top of VM WorkStation since I don't have any ESXi server. When I added 250GB into the WorkStation and did provision with "Thick" it works !!! 
    Since my testing envrionment is little complicated (ESXi with VM WorkStation), I added first 250GB HDD into ESXi, and tried. It didn't work. So I added 250GB into VM WorkStation and did provision through Workstation, it worked (If you don't understand this statements, do not worry. If you have ESXi server, you don't need to worry about)
    As far as cisco ova is concerned, when I talked to one of my my friend who was working for new ACS (Virtual Appliance) he had same issue. He also solved with "Thick Provision"
    FYI, even if when I installed with "Thin Provision", PI 1.2 used only 10GB out of 200GB, so I did not think that I should use "Think Provision". But definitely not.

  • Ask the Expert: One Management with Prime Infrastructure 1.2

    With Tejas Shah
    Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions from Cisco expert Tejas Shah on One Management with Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Combining the wireless functionality of Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) with the wired functionality of Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution (LMS),  Cisco Prime Infrastructure simplifies and automates many of the day-to-day tasks associated with maintaining and managing the end-to-end network infrastructure from a single pane of glass. The new converged solution delivers all of the existing wireless capabilities for RF management, user access visibility, reporting, and troubleshooting along with wired lifecycle functions such as discovery, inventory, configuration and image management, automated deployment, compliance reporting, integrated best practices, and reporting.

    Raun, please see my responses inline:
    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,

  • Managing vty ACLs with Prime Infrastructure?

    I have a number of devices -- various models of Nexus, (2k - 7k), 6500s and some 1U stackables.
    I'm trying to come up with a good way to leverage PI (2.1) to apply a vty ACL to the switches. There does not appear to be a template for this. The problem of course is not only the order of operation (remove ACL from vty if there is one so Prime doesn't lock itself out, only then do the rest of the stuff) but that the syntax seems to differ very aggravatingly -- some require "line vty 0 1509," some "line vty 0 1510," some platforms accept named ACLs for vty ACLs, some don't...
    Any tips, tricks, or best practices on how to install and update vty ACLs on IOS and/or NX-OS devices with Prime Infrastructure?

    I am also interested in this topic. We have vty ACLs in place but with different names. Would like to be able to find and update the ACL's and vty config. Using PI 2.1.

  • Managing Prime Infrastructure 1.2 with MS IAS Radius

    HI,
    I have configured the PI 1.2il MS IAS radius server to authenticate machine with the management domain credentials.
    When I needed to migrate the atuthenticatione from local to radius mode and I went to AAA and I select "with Radius server."
    On the MS IAS I imported the tasks for users with role lobby ambassador and when I turned on the authentication mode in PI 1.2 with AAA Radius Server, the user was able to authenticate properly.
    When I imported Admin or Root tasks on the server could not let the user management interface in Prime.
    there is a documentation update?
    Regards
    Andrea

    I wrote about this some time ago.  Its based on NPS but you should be able to tweak it for IAS as well.

  • UPS monitoring support with Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2

    Dear Members,
    Good day,
    I am having a project implemented wherein i have the UPS power redudancy solution for our network devices.
    Now can anyone gide that is it possible for below :-
    UPS units installed with SNMP cards be monitored via Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 as our monitoring & management solution is Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 ?
    if yes
    Can you guide if following action would be possible to export the below logs from UPS unit to our Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2
       a) UPS fault status information
       b) UPS operational status(input power available Y/N)
       c) Battery fault status
       d) Battery charging current
       e) Battery charge level
       f) Output current
    Conclusion is we need to confirm that would it be posible to achieve remote monitoring of these UPS units via our CPI 1.2
    Thanks in Advance for your support & replies to this query.
    Regards,
    Muzammil N.

    Prime Infrastructure 1.2 can manage non-Cisco devices in a limited fashion via SNMP query and trap processing. It cannot import logs and does not have a generic syslog server,
    So if your devices have snmp read only support and can generate SNMP traps for the above you can add them to PI. Follow the manual add device procedure here.
