Problems with CiscoWorks LMS 4.0

Dear Technical Support Staff,
We encounter some problems with the application Cisco Works LMS 4.0 , installed in OS Windows Server 2008R2 64 bit Standart Edition with the usage of a patch CiscoWorks_LMS_4.0.x_WIN2K8_R2.
A brief explanation of our network - it consists of VTP domain of the 3rd version, in the layer of the core
2x6509 whish are being operated in VSS (all the configuration is based on them : Vlans, routing, acl list), in the access layer the switches 3750 (some of them are operated in the stack), DNS server is absent, to register the devices in the application we put the title of the device into the host file of the server.
Screenshots are added to the list of problems.
1. IP addresses of the end hosts in the section User tracking are not displayed, in the site cisco.com there is a manual on solving the given problem for the other OSes.
2. Switches 3750 in the section Ciscoview are not displayed, however in the section device update in the list of the installed packages those devices are present, also it is impossible to set (update) the package cisco view for the required device. We have downloaded those packages individually but in the process of installing them locally or from Cisco.com, the application displays an error.
3. It is necessary to see loading of the interface (channel) in the current moment since as far as I remember it is possible to do through MiniRmon, having preliminary setting of all the required interfaces, but I can't set them and the application displays an error. Maybe I am wrong somewhere please correct me if necessary.
4. Where can I find a full description of the Faults.
5. Not from all the devices collections of configurations take place though settings of Telnet and the name Community are everywhere the same.
6. In the section Topology in the scheme of the network those changes do not happen at once? for instance if some device is switched off so in the scheme it does not get red immediately and the same situation with the opposite when the device is available and being pinged so it does not get green. Is it possible to set it the way so the changes occur simultaneously? The messages on failures come in time how can I set it?
Regards,
Alexey Sokolov

Dmirty, try to do a
net stop crmdmgtd
net start crmdmgtd
This normally resolves the issue for me
Did you restart the daemon manager for a device package update?
I have see this a number of times
Cheers,
Michel

Problem Authentcation CiscoWorks LMS 4.1 with ACS 5.3

Dear
i have a problem authenticating cisco LMS user through ACS 5 whenever tries to run a DCR Job verification it fails to telnet , however it used to work with the pervious ACS 4 but after upgrade , it seems to be a problem , and when i tries to login with this specific user with third party terminal it works fine.
here is logg in the ACS monitor
Failure Reason > Authentication Failure Code Lookup
Failure Reason :
13031 TACACS+ authentication request missing user Password
Generated on:March 12, 2013 7:09:37 PM AST
Description
The TACACS+ authentication request did not provide a user Password
Resolution Steps
The device is sending a TACACS+ authentication request that is missing information needed by ACS. Check the device to verify that it is working properly and has up-to-date software

I'm running the latest version of both, and it's running fine for me. You may have to change your TacacsPromts.ini file to include the right prompts. I think it's:
[TELNET]
USERNAME_PROMPT=
PASSWORD_PROMPT=
You'll have to put in your own prompts, though. Whatever your prompts are, is what goes afterward.
If my prompt is Myspecialprompt: and pass is Myspecialpassword:, I'd use
[TELNET]
USERNAME_PROMPT=Myspecialprompt:
PASSWORD_PROMPT=Myspecialpassword:
If you have more devices with different prompts, just use a comma after the colon. Btw, you don't need the credentials in there, just the custom prompts.

Serial Numbers with CiscoWorks LMS 3.2

Hi all,
Is there a way to find the Serial Numbers of all your Cisco devices using CiscoWorks LMS 3.2?
Thanks in advance,
Carles

You can run a hardware report under RME > Reports > Report Generator > Inventory > Hardware Report. However, some devices are not aware of their serial number electronically. In these cases, you can add the serial number using the "snmp-server chassis id" command so that RME can pick it up. You can check this link with details on how the serial number is obtained via SNMP.

Problems performing CiscoWorks LMS 3.1

Hello,
I had previous problems running Daemon Manager, I fixed up that problem already but now the problem is that whenever i want to configure anything within any module, then it shows errors about communication with DCR server or other engines and in some cases it says i have to run the license server.
I looked over the license server log and shows an error "Unable to launch JVM".
I also revised my services and all of them appear as started.
Any suugestions???

I configured the services as you requested and after that restarted the server tried to open the LMS portal but it shows "the page cannot be dispalyed" so revised services window page and noticed that the following services are down:
CiscoWorks ANI database engine
CiscoWorks RME NG database engine
CiscoWorks Web Server
CWAWFEngine database engine
CWCS Cmf database engine
DFM dfmEpm database engine
DFM dfmInv database engine
DFM dfmFh database engine
OpxXMLRuntime
only CiscoWorks Tomcat Servlet engine appears as started...
aren't services supposed to start "automatically" eventhough they're set up as manual???

you specify the log tells me this error:

Although the gate beckup.lock file when you restart the backup creates the file again backup.lock and I can not complete the backup.
The thing I do not understand the log that I've written on this item is: "SQL error (-832) - Connection error: Found server but communication error occurred"
What could stop the backup?
Thank you very much.

CiscoWorks LMS cannot add PIX/ASA in software repository

Hi,
I can see that LMS in RME Software Management cannot add PIX/ASA software saying not supported.
Any configuration issues.
I have got another problem. CiscoWorks LMS need to download IOS on cisco router, the process fails in RME Software Mgt. But the LMS is nated when it goes through the router.
i guess the script does not know the natted ip when running it on the router. If there is a way that I can specify the natted IP of the LMS. Fortunately, it is a nated static IP.
Thanks,
Ashley

Hi Joseph,
It is working fine. My mistake, issue with TFTP source interface.
However, I had got a small issue.
I have got a cisco router which RME accesses with ip natted ip, which you have indicated and It is working fine with RME. RME can manage the router perfectly.
However, DFM is leaving this router in questioned mode. So, the SNMP Credentials must be ok since it is good with RME.
Do I have to specify the Natted DFM ip as well for this router? Or something else must be done.

Software Distribution - Problem with 1921 Routers

Hello everybody,
we are having some weird troubles in our Cisco LMS 4.2
A Software Distribution works fine for all kinds of our Routers, except the 1921 models. We are using SCP and SSH for the Image distribution and the exactly same configuration on a 1841 and a 1921 works on the 1841 Router but on the 1921 not.
I didn't found any Bugs related to this, maybe it's a problem with the lms settings?
Done so far:
- Deleted the device in LMS, added it via discovery and manually, no change here
- Tried with different IOS versions, no change here, no one will work
- Set the credentials after adding the device again, to make sure they are valid
When creating a new distribution job, we get this error at Step 3 of 5 only at the 1921 Router, so I guess this might be the problem:
Warning
- SWIM1056: The method to update the software on the selected storage device is unknown.
Select a different Flash partition, if available.
I attached a SWIM_debug logfile from a failed job. (changed all the DNS names do XXXDNSNAMEXXX).
Thanks for your help

More than USB it could be SCP. There is a know bug for SCP on 19xx router :
CSCuc98074 LMS 4.2.2 Software Image Distribution fails with SCP on 1921 routers
Just try to change SCP to other protocol and see it that works. Make sure you have all device packages updated for LMS.
-Thanks

Backup problem with LMS 3.0 on Solaris

Hi All,
I'm encountering problems with LMS 3.0 when I try to do a backup. After you hit OK on the window that says "Do you want to backup now?", an error would pop up saying: "Enter a new directory name or ask the system administrator of the Ciscoworks Common Services server to make the directory accessible to user casuser", thus I cannot proceed with the backup process. When I do backup, my login privilege is admin. Even tried to do backup on the same partition as my CSCOpx directory but to no avail.
Appreciate your help on this guys. Our LMS 3.0 runs on Solaris platform. Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your prompt response. By the way, what is a casuser? Is he also one of the user that can be found on the Local User Setup on Common Services? The scenario here is that, I am not the one who installed the Ciscoworks LMS 3.0 on the client side, so I am not aware on how they did the installation procedure for the application. I remember assigning casuser password during installation on our other clients that has LMS 3.0.
Will the write access on the backup directory for the casuser be done by the Solaris root administrator?
Thanks for your help.

CiscoWorks LMS 4.0 Time Zone Problem

Hi,
CiscoWorks LMS 4.0 timezone is VET. I know that LMS time is syncronized with system time. Hovewer, system time is correct but LMS's time is wrong.
-I restarted LMS CW Deamon Manager
-I re-installed LMS
My problem still exists.
What should I do to syncronize the time?
Thank you for your help.

My setup files were corrupted. I tried new setup and LMS succesfully installed.

CiscoWorks LMS problem

We are running CISCOWORKS LMS in our Data Network,
But right now getting below problem,
1.    Unable to integrate Cisco-3925 integrated service router
2.    Unable to integrate Cisco-2811 integrated service router
3.    LMS cannot sense link status
4.    LMS cannot auto discover link
Attached Image for your kind reference.Appreciate your concern about this issue.

Hi Hafiz,
Kindly let me know how you are adding device to CiscoWorks LMS 2.6.
As a best practise, when you will add new device to CiscoWorks, you should not select the device type while adding the device to CiscoWorks. Let the ciscoworks collect the inventorty on device and identify it automatically.
To start with make sure you have the lastet MDF device packages install for Common Services and then install all device pachages for other components like RME, CiscoView etc but make sure to have lastest MDF install first.
Thanks
Gaganjeet

Captivate 8 Course - Problems with Launch in LMS

I created a Captivate 8 course with a PPT with animiation. Added audio to the Captivate. So far, so good. Uploaded it to our LMS (SuccessFactors). Went to test the course in the staging environment. Course looked like it was going to launch, then the entire screen went black. Anyone run into this problem before?

Hi, Yes we are currently experience problems with our course in which the loading icon appears for the course.
For some of our users, if you press the play button, the course will start and for some, clicking the play button has no reaction.
Also, for some users, it'll automatically play without a play button (this should be the setting bc we have enabled the autorun feature).
Not sure what to do!

Problem with manifest file and Plateau LMS

I have published a course with a quiz in SCORM 1.2 and tried
to upload to a Plateau LMS.
It seems that a "page cannot be found" message is the result
after upload and we try to launch the course. The course works
outside the LMS (when run locally on my computer).
The Plateau LMS support team tried to help, and found the
following: "There is something wrong with this manifest, though I
cannot ascertain what that is exactly. Most of the file name is in
the parameter field, which is causing the launch path to look like
this:
/content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS?BRT%20Maintenance%20Template_%2020080226.htm=
Everything in the parameters field is placed after the
filename in a URLencoded querystring after the question mark that
you see above. it should look like this:
/content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS BRT Maintenance
Template_ 20080226.htm"
Can anyone please help resolve this, or have any advice?
This is the first time we have tried uploading Captivate
courses to this LMS, and we have been having problems with the
manifest file in general. I have looked at all the material I can
find on publishing and the manifest file, but cannot seem to
resolve my issue.
Thanks
Warwick

Warwick,
I have had this error with an Authorware set of SCORM files
when my LMS was looking for index.htm and I had named it index.html
- you wouldn't think that would cause an error but it did. I would
be more than happy to package a Captivate file of just a few
screens that works on my LMS (which is Learn.com's Learning
Center), and send you the SCORM files to test... That could be a
start anyhow. I will send you a private msg. with my e-mail
id.

A problem with PoE devices in the Topology view (LMS 3.1)

Hello,
the customer has a problem with PoE devices in the Topology View. :-( He doesn't see the 2960 PoE devices with the PoE filter enabled in the topology view:-( He uses LMS 3.1 on Windows.
In the NetPro discussion I found that the list of PoE devices is in the following file:
POECapableDeviceTypes.properties
but I cann't to find thid file in the campus directory. In the campus folder are following folders: bin, etc, lib and www.
Thank you
Roman

The file is in NMSROOT/campus/www/classpath/com/cisco/nm/ani/clients/campus/main/filters/POECapableDeviceTypes.properties.

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.

Problems with Captivate 5, LMS, and AS3

I recently acquired Captivate 5 and I am having difficulty getting it to work with our LMS (Plateau). When I publish a presentation to AICC using Captivate 5, and try to load it in the LMS, it doesn't get past the loading page. I've tried it with an existing course, and I've tried making a simple (3 slides with a text box) new presentation in Captivate 5 and I have the same problem. However, the .swf and .htm files load fine when viewed directly. It's only when run through the LMS that I have a problem.
I was able to reproduce the problem with Captivate 4 by publishing to ActionScript3. It worked fine when I used AS2. Unfortunately, Captivate 5 doesn't allow publishing to AS2, so I'm at a loss of how to address this.
Any suggestions? Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

What brand is your LMS? (What manufacturer)
What versions of SCORM does it support?
What version of ActionScript does your LMS support? AS2 or AS3?
Have you tried uploading a short Captivate 5 lesson with only a few slides and one or two questions (example: True False question)?
If you have Captivate 3 or 4, have you tried uploading a lesson in AS2 to see if your LMS accepts it?
We need more information than just saying: Course not work.
Test first on very simple short lessons to make sure the LMS will accept Captivate 5 content at all. If it will play simple content, try more complex content.
Your issue could be caused by some component or object in the course, or it could be some issue with the LMS. At this stage we do not know the cause, but it can often be determined by testing with simple projects first and then adding complexity until something breaks.
