Questioned Devices in LMS - DFM

Hi, We are running LMS 3.2 (windows) and I have a group of switches I am trying to monitior in DFM.
I have discovered the devices in device management successfully. Then I import the devices into DFM they always go into a questioned state.
Several attempts with the same results have been tried.
I checked in MARS and I see denies from my LMS server to the devices Im trying to import to DFM. The traffic seems to be in relation to when Im attemping the imports to DFM. The denies are on UDP-137. Is this port needed from LMS to the device for DFM to discover and monitor it ???
I have increased the SNMP Timeout to 14 seconds 3 retries
DFM version is 3.2.0
Credentials are correct for the monitored devices
THANKS - John

No, udp/137 is not required. The devices must be pingable and reachable via SNMP. Make sure the LMS server can ping the management IP addresses of these devices.

Questioned devices in DFM

Hello,
I installed LMS 3.2 on Win2008 Server without ACS integrations. I have all devices (43) in DCR and all credentials are correct. These devices are managed by RME correctly (I have all configs in archive management, I have all these devices in inventory database...). But I have a problem with these devices in DFM. When I use auto or manual synchronization with DCR - all these devices are in the questioned state. I tried to use rediscovery in DFM, I tried to use delete and add devices in the DFM, but the result is always same - questioned state:-( I installed patch dfm3.2-win-CSCta56151.tar - the installation was succesful, but the result for all devices is same - questioned state:-( The snmp-server engineid is not configured on all these devices. So can you help me with this problem?? Thank you

What is the reason DFM is giving for why the devices are in a questioned state? In order for DFM to manage a device, the device must be reachable by both SNMP and ICMP on the IP address by which it has been added to DFM.

Differences discovered for the same device in LMS 4.1

Hi,
We have installed Cisco Prime 4.1 and we have discovered all the devices of our network. Although all devices appear as known both in Monitor and in Inventory, some of them are not being monitored correctly.
For example, in the Known_Device_List Report, I have a device named 'Switch1' with IP 'x.x.x.' but in the monitoring, it shown by the name 'Switch2' with the same IP 'x.x.x.x'.
It seems that the DFM database doesn't get correctly this device from DCR, but in the LMS 4.1 version there is no option to delete this device from the DFM. I already tried to rediscovery devices throught CLI by the dmctl -s DFM invoke ICF_TopologyManager::ICF-TopologyManager discoverAll command, but with no success.
What is this behaviour due? Any idea about how to fix it?
Thanks in advanced.
Best regards,
Laura

Best way is to make sure name resolution is working so LMS can lookup the device's system-name and use the ip address it resolves to, as the management IP
Often there are inconsistencies, if an IP resolves to a name, and then the name resolve to another IP
Use resolver.pl in CSCOpx\bin to see how LMS resolves the devicename/ IP
If this is different from what you expect then you have an issue on your DNS.
Sometimes a local hosts file is easier to manage

Duplicate Devices In LMS 3.2

Hi There.
I have trolled this forum, and I find issues with LMS 3.1 and Duplicate devices and the engineers say that it is fixed in LMS 3.2, but I have a customer who is experiencing this with LMS 3.2 below is the customers request:
This has now been the 3rd week in a row that after the XXXXX discovery we
ended up with duplications.
I have looked at a few and most are due to 2 or more ip addrs defined on te
device.
The example here are the RCC MSFCs which we manage via VLAN50 ip and the source
is set to VLAN50 on the device but LMS also discovers it via a loopback addr.
It is causing us hassles with max limit on LMS system as well as having
duplications on reports.
Please could you give me some advice.
Joan

Ok ran the walk, and it can be read by one of the devices showing up as a duplicate, below is a short extract, should you require the whole walk, ill be happy to post it
The following is a SNMP walk of device 10.111.1.2 starting from .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20
SNMP Walk Output

Monitor power consumption on non POE device using LMS 4.1 ?

How do i monitor power consumption of our endpoint device such as IBM server, UCS server, PC , etc which isn't powered by POE ?

I'm way to lazy to read all this stuff (that's my nature) but I tried a few things with an IP phone and an access point because a customer was interested.
TAC said to forget about the access point, LMS will only manage the IP phone.
Do you see these endpoint devices in LMS anywhere? I asume you managed to get the agent software and put them on these devices.
In theory they should then get 'discovered' as endpoints. Not sure how LMS would be able to do that though. Unless the endpoint agent knows about LMS and starts talking I don't see how it could work.
Anyway, the theory is that in LMS you have a group of endpoints in an endpoint group. Then you should be able to configure endpoint attributes.... , and then you should be able to create a policy and apply it to that group. But I think the policies you can create in LMS now, are for IP phones only.
You should also be able the generate power reports on an endpoint group. Provided you are able to discover these endpoints.
Do let us know how you are getting on with this though. Energywise is interesting but the current implementation in LMS may be a bit too minimalistic. (please prove me wrong)
Cheers,
Michel

How do I identify Presenter Questions in a LMS report?

Hi,
We've put together 25 questions in Presenter and set it up to report from our LMS (e2train).
We need to know what users answer for each of the questions and can pull off a report that shows the results ok.
The problem is that we have no identifier for the 25 questions.
For each user the report shows the following columns:
Description (blank for all 25 qs);
Type (q type),
Learner Response (What they selected);
Result (correct or incorrect).
How do I get Presenter to identify each question?

Hi,
Can you display what code you used for this? I followed note 172045.1 and everything compiles properly but when I run the report, I just get a box with a red X in it, like it is not finding the picture. I ran the procedure that downloads the image and it works fine from there. Thanks.

A report about reachable devices in LMS report tools

Hi all,
is possible to display a report about reachable devices in DCR database? The report about unreachable devices is only in the reports menu in LMS 4.2.4 (Reports > Inventory > Management Status >Unreachable Devices).
I tried to use the report designer, but there is no possibility to create a rule for this report.:-( Similarly I tried to create group devices, but I didn't find some criteria for this type of group. Thanks.
Roman

Hi Roman,
As per my knowledge , there is no such report available in LMS, however I would suggest you to create a POLLER for DEVICE AVAILBLITY to achive your goal.
Go to Monitor > Performance Settings > Setup > Pollers >> click Create Poller.
check the below link for more information:

Unable to view list of added devices in LMS

Dear All ,
Iam working on Cisco LMS 3.2.1.Everything was working fine before but since last 2-3 days we are unable to view the list of added devices under device management tab.We are able to see the added groups only.Because of this issue we are unable to get the logs from the added devices.

Specific Question Reporting in LMS

Hi I've been using Captivate for a few months, and I've recently gotten a module together and am hosting it on SCORM cloud. My module contains some quiz slides, however I'm finding the reporting I'm getting back a bit odd, I'm
sure it's user error but I'm unclear what I'm doing wrong…I'm getting the info about who is taken the quiz and how long they've taken etc, but what I need to know is the specific answers they have given, i.e. have they answered A B C or D.
I've been making the quiz slides myself with click boxes and actions, and including them in quiz reporting, but I'm unclear how I can then get each question and answer I've created to show up in the SCORM reporting…for example, most of the specific reporting looks like this:
2015-02-27T15:34:20.387
[USER} correctly answered 'Question 6888' with response '1'
I'd like to be able to specify the question number myself (not sure where the 6888 is coming from) and make it so the response was "A" or any of the other selections. Is this possible?
Hopefully this is clear enough, I'm pretty new to the game. Thanks for any help in advance!!

I should add to the above that I'm making my own quiz slides. Still looking for an answer to this problem, so far what I've been doing as a workaround is putting the result of the question in the Interaction ID...ie "Question1DINCORRECT" or "QUESTION 2ACORRECT", that way I can at least see what they answered. When I was looking at the SCORM data I saw this:
"result": {
"success": true,
"response": "1"
This is where the LMS is getting the data, but I have no idea how to change it so the reporting could say User X incorrectly answered Question 1 with response D...hopefully this makes sense. Any help greatly appreciated!!

Cannot import devices from LMS to QPM

Hi - I hope someone can help me on this one.
I have just installed Cisco QPM 3.2 on my network to work with my existing LMS 2.6. At the moment, I am struggling to import devices from my LMS to QPM, with error messages, "The file format is incorrect. Please select a file with the correct format". I don't know how else to deal with this. The file is successfully exported from Common Services in LMS and saved on a drive. From my QPM, I navigate to Add Devices--->Import from CSV file and browse to location where file is saved in LMS. However, it keeps giving me the same error message of incorrect file format.
Can someone be kind enough to assist me on this?
Find attached the error message received.
Thank you

Most likely this is due to the incompatibility in the respective Common Services versions of QPM 3.2 (CS 2.2?) and LMS 2.6 (CS 3.0.6?). I would make a dummy device entry in QPM 3.2, export it out to csv, then compare the QPM csv with the existing csv you have from LMS 2.6. Since your goal is to import into QPM, you'd want to edit the LMS csv (probably by deleting any "new" columns introduced in CS 3.x).

Routers are showing as unconnected devices in LMS 4.2

Dear All,
I am using LMS to monitor my branch routers. I have discoved my routers but they are showing as un connected device in the topoloty Map. But my data center switches are showing as the connected devices. My routers are connected through the MPLS cloud. Does routers connected through MPLS cloud as connected devices ???
Thanks in advance,
Selva...

Hi Selva,
Currently Campus topology is supporting CDP for Topology computation. MPLS is unfortunately not supported

Remove devices from LMS

I am working on a LMS 2.6 system. No ACS integration. LMS has not been touched in 3 years.
800 devices are in the database. Several offices have been closed so about 100 devices are no longer reachable.
Is there any automated method to remove these devices?
Can I run a report to see when a device was last contacted?
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPhone App

Bill,
With LMS 2.6 there is not a quick way to do this. Version 3.2 and up does have a poller in Common Services that can track devices that have been unreachable for a time period and report on that.
However, you can go to the RME application and look at the inventory collection screen and note any that have failed recently when collecting inventory on a regular basis. That list of devices should contain the ones out of commission now. Use that list to remove the necessary devices from the Device Credential Respository (DCR) in Common Services.

Assessment questions in LearnCenter LMS

Gentlefolk;
I am looking for someone who has experience using Captivate v. 4 in the LearnCenter/Taleo LMS.
I have created assessments in SCORM 1.2 format for the LearnCenter, and they track and score properly. Learn has the ability to display results at the question level - who responded how to which question. I have a client who wants this.
But the Learn Report Builder tool is not picking up assessments created by Captivate 4. It will display this level of detail with assessments built with its own assessment tool, but that is such an arduous tool to work with, I have abanded that for Captivate. I thought SCORM was SCORM and I could get the Learn report system to display the question-level detail.
Not happenin' for me, however.
Is there anyone out there with this experience and can assist me in figuring out what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!
Don
[email protected]

Thanks, Rod,
Let's see what we can tease out:
Hmmm..and maybe I have my answer. I had run the SCORM settings basically at their default settings. Worked well enough and the Learn LMS could talk to the Captivate data, so I was pretty happy.
But under Reporting Level, I have used Report Score, and NOT Interactions and Score. Will the Interactions and Score give me the question-level responses I am seeking?

Contract Renewal Question - Device replacement

My current 2-year contract ends in one month. I cracked the screen on my phone about a week ago, and was about to file a claim for a replacement. My question is, does getting a replacement phone with my Total Equipment Coverage automatically renew my contract in any way, or will it still end next month as currently scheduled?

It will not affect you contract date as long as you just get a replacement, I did this a couple of months ago.
