Problem with user tracking Cisco Prime lms 4.2
Hi
When I use the User tracking utility, it dont find the usernames, I dont kwow if I have to use the tool UTlite33.exe un all end host or not, please helpme.
Hi Andres,
Check this ::
Understanding UTLite
UTLite is a utility that allows you to collect user names from Primary Domain Controllers, Active Directory, and Novell servers.
To do this you need to install UTLite in the Windows Primary Domain Controllers and in the Novell servers. You can also install UTLite in an Active Directory server.
UTLite sends traps to LMS whenever a user logs in or logs out. UTLite traps are processed by LMS at the rate of 150 traps per second, with a default buffer size of 76800.
Follow the below link and it should help:

Problem with user tracking in cisco prime Lms
i attach my senario pic ,
i use snmp v3 for my switch ,,
discover -- ok
synchronization ---- ok
net config and config edit ----- ok
but my problem is
report / inventory / user tracking / quick report ---------------------------------------- i take this notification for all report : no end hosts found
i install UTU but this program can not found any record too .
please help meNMS servers access the Bridge-MIB data from devices, to get the MAC/CAM table. Because MAC-address or CAM table is maintained on device/VLAN basis, so query needs to be made per VLAN based.
In snmp v1/v2c SNMP Community String Indexing is used. Where vlan is polled by adding VLAN number after community string after @ sign. Example to see all the mac-address table from VLAN 1, if the community is test123, device would be polled like :
snmpwalk -v2c -c test123@1 10.10.10.1
The syntax is [community string]@[instance number].
For snmp v3 this is not an option, as it cant use SNMP community string indexing. So all the MAC/CAM table needs to made snmp v3 context aware, which exposes BRIDGE-MIB data to SNMP v3.
You must use contexts to get per-VLAN data from the BRIDGE-MIB with SNMPv3.Not all the IOS switches support this. In general, if the device supports the "show snmp context" command, contexts will work. If not, an upgrade is needed. However, some switches (e.g. 2950 series) will never support SNMPv3 contexts. You must use v1/v2c with these switches.
Very simply, you need to add the context to the SNMP group to allow your users to poll the given context. For example, to allow users to poll the BRIDGE-MIB for context vlan-6, you would add something like:
snmp-server group v3group v3 auth context vlan-6 read
You should add all those exact name after context which you see in output of show snmp context.
Also, about UTU, it is just a small utility tool to access the LMS User Tracking DB externally to show the UT data, so unless LMS has UT data in its DB, UTU won't a difference either.

Problem Exporting Backups from Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 deployed as software appliance
Hi,
I'm trying to backup a Cisco Prime LMS4.2 based on soft appliance. I have the backup stored on destination disk://localdisk/backup/, but i can't export it via FTP to external server. When I perfrom the transfer only the folder is stored in the destination path, the files aren't included. I think that i have to compress files on the backup folder as .tar file using linux shell, but i can´t find the backup folder from this shell.
It´s correct my procedure, if not What is the procedure and commands to export a backup to external server via FTP?
Thanks,Hi Dave,
If your Goal is to upgarde the IOS of the devices via LMS then MANUALLY download the IOS Image from cisco.com
and use the FILE SYSTEM option to add the Image in the Software Repository
Then try to upgrade the IOS and see how it works.
Thanks

Problems with User Tracker getting info on Unrouted Network
I have two networks that I need UT info for, but both of the interfaces are not routed. My thought was to configure an interface on each of these networks on a Cat 3750 and add a third interface into my management network to all Cisco Works to poll the switch for UT info. I did this, but when I look at the ARP on the 3750 it isn't being populted. I did a broadcast ping on both networks and I still don't see the ARP being populated. Any ideas if this will work and if not suggestions on how to pull the UT info on these nonrouted networks?
Thanks,
AdamThe 3750 would probably need to act as the default gateway for hosts on these networks so that it learns the ARP entries. What you can do is change the hosts to use the 3750, then have the 3750 redirect the hosts to the actual default gateway. An alternative would be to use something like the Embedded Event Manager to periodically ping sweep the connected subnets to keep the ARP cache populated.

Cisco Prime LMS appliance Compatibilty with Cisco Prime NCS
Hi,
Is it possible if we can install Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 in the appliance which is inbuilt with Cisco Prime NCS .
We have PILMS42-1.5K-U license available with us.
Rgds,
KamalOne can install either LMS 4.2 or NCS on the a physical (software on PRIME-NCS-APL-K9 hardware) or virtual appliance (software installed on customer-provided VM).
The two products (NCS and LMS) cannot coexist on a given appliance instance. This is due to change in the future as LMS and NCS merge under the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 release but for now they are distinct and separate products with a common approach and similar look and feel but requiring separate servers, whether physical or virtual.
Please refer to the ordering and licensing guide here. -
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
6 [5343]: application:operation cars_install.c[1150] [admin]: Verifying app (Apache) is installed ...

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
RichHi 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.

Cisco Prime LMS device unreachable dont know why
Hi
Currently running Cisco Prime LMS v4.2
I am trying to get some Nexus 7K Switches to work and become reachable.
They are running kickstart: version 6.2(2)
system: version 6.2(2)
Now as far as I can see i have 2 identical switches but one is unreachable and the other is reachable.
When i use my snmp tester they both work with the correct V3 auth/priv passwords and the correct ssh
works on the switches.
When i go to monitor/Troubleshooting Tools/Troubleshooting Workflows
Then for the non working one i get the following fails....
Device Information Device availability x
Collector Status
Data Collection Failure
User Tracking Failure
Fault discovery Failure
On the working one The above all are a Success.
Also
Reachability Details
Both ping and traceroute work fine on both switches
For the life of me I cannot see any difference in the configuration of the two devices.
Has anyone come across this before ?
I have attached a copy of the snmp config.
Thanks
SteveWhat is the server OS? Windows/Linux or Unix?
From the server to ping and poll device for SNMP and see if both device works fine?
SNMP walk is available under :
Windows : NMSROOT/objects/jt/bin
Linux/unnix/: /opt/SCOpx/objects/jt/bin
Example:
NSROOT/objects/jt/bin/snmpwalk -v2c -c public <ip_add> <OID>
Try to configure the problematic device for SNMP v2 and try to add it from there and test if it works fine.

Device discovery in Cisco Prime LMS 4.1
Hi,
im using CISCO PRIME LMS 4.1 for manage my network, i ran a device discovery job using a ping sweep on the ip ranges of my network, ie 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24 and so on... the discovery found all my devices, but it discovered duplicate devices with illegal ip Addresses, ie
ip device
192.168.1.255 S1
192.168.2.0 S1
192.168.2.1 S1 (the real address)
all in reachable status.
i dont undestad why the program adds that repeated illegal addresses.. someone can help me with that issue??
how can i run the device discovery to avoid this problem?
Many Thanks.Julio,
Don't let LMS decide on what IP address it will manage the device.
For example, let LMS do a lookup of the sysname in DNS, then it will use the IP address coming back from the DNS as management IP.
This is what I do to avoid this.
But I also feel that LMS should be bright enough to never manage the same device twice. I think Campus DFM or RME will eventually figure out the 2 devices are the same, but they can't "fix" what is wrong in the DCR.
Cheers,

VMware Tools on Cisco Prime LMS 4.1
Hello,
I have just installed Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 from .ova file on a VMware architecture. My customer wants to know if the server is compatible with vmware tools.
I looked over Cisco documentation but it is never mentionned.
Has someone allready take a look into that ?
Thanks,
Regards,
Abel JULIAN,
Nextiraone FRANCE.Yes, the datastore is located on a remote SAN so the original source won't be impacted by the loss of the ESXi. But in a perfect world (with VMtools), Vmotion will move VM from one ESX to another in case of failure, performance problem etc.
Those functions won't be accessible here, and the VM will need to be restarted manually and reaffected to another ESXi in case of failure. Like I said before, the LMS server is not a critical application so that is not a huge issue. The important is to know that Cisco does not support this feature.
Anyway, I have my answer so it is ok for me, I will notify my customer.
Thanks you for your time,

Changing server for Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 installation
Hi,
I am planning to install Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 with 50 device license on a temporary server. My question is:
Can we install Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 on Server A, applied the license for 50 devices, and then several months later we uninstall LMS on Server A, reinstall it on Server B, and applied the same license for 50 users?
Is it possible and legal to do that? I am worry if the LMS license is binding to the first server's MAC address.
Thanks in advance.also :vmversion 4.1 and 5.1 both checked, hdd 256, scsi , memory 8 gig,

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.
ThanksIt 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,
MichelIt'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. -
Import local net users to Cisco Prime 1.2
Hi,
We have 4400 WLC that has about 400 local users configured under local net users and we are deploying Cisco Prime 1.2 in our company. Does anyone know how to import these users to Cisco prime? I was told that it could only be done manually like re entering all 400 entries to Cisco Prime! if this is the case it 'll be tedious.
Thanks for any help.Hello,
Complete the following steps to migrate data from WCS:
1. Place the WCS export ZIP file (for example, wcs.zip) in a repository or folder (for example, repositories).
2. Log in as the admin user and stop the Cisco Prime Infrastructure server by entering the ncs stop command. Configure the FTP repository on the Cisco Prime Infrastructure appliance using the repository command as shown in configuration snippet below:
pi-appliance/admin# configure
pi-appliance/admin(config)# repository pi-ftp-repo
pi-appliance/admin(config-Repository)# url ftp://209.165.200.227/backup
pi-appliance/admin(config-Repository)# user ftp-user password plain ftp-user
Note: Make sure the archived file is available with the show repository command.
3. Enter the ncs migrate command in order to restore the WCS database.
pi-appliance/admin# ncs migrate wcs-data wcs.zip repository pi-ftp-repo
4. By default, no WCS events are migrated. Enter the ncs start command in order to start the Cisco Prime Infrastructure server after the upgrade is completed. Log in to the Cisco Prime Infrastructure user interface with the root login and the root password.
For mmore information you can refer to the cisco prime infrastructure deployment guide:
