Rsync on NCS appliance

Hello
we used to run WCS as a software application on a Linux platform and saved all our daily Client Session reports on the disk and then used rsync to grab the details and process them off line.
We have recently bought an NCS appliance and do not seem to be able to get rsync to work and at the moment are using FTP to grab each individual file.
Is there a way to use rsync on an NCS appliance that anyone knows of?
thanks
Bryn

Change the state of logging..
You will probably have to apply and restart the TC to get it to start logging at debug level.
But this is already telling you something.

Your login lasted 6min.. that is not right, unless you deliberately disconnected..
Although the TC hasn't given any indication of a drop it is telling you it is redoing the login.. for no good reason.
The drop in WAN particularly suggests something is going wrong.
Anyhow it gives you indication all is not well.
I would suggest you use another router and try using the TC bridged.
Or use the TC totally off the network with a separate ethernet connection to the computer you are copying files from.
Turn off ipv6 in the computer as that is also doing you no good.

Cisco Prime NCS appliance & license

Hi all,
I'm looking for getting a Cisco prime NCS appliance (PRIME-NCS-APL-K9). I'm a little bit confused regarding to the license scheme:
1. Does the appliance has any license coming with it or we need to order the license separately?
2. If I have an WLC 5508 (license support 12 APs) & 12 3500 APs, then number of devices counted will be 1 (WLC) or 12 (APs) or 13 (WLC + APs) ?
Thanks for the help,

Cisco Prime Infrastructure for the first time you may access the lifecycle and assurance features using the built-in evaluation license that is available by default. The default evaluation license is valid for 60 days for 100 devices and 150 interfaces. You will need to purchase the base license and the corresponding feature license before the evaluation license expires. Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 can be ordered using the standard Cisco® ordering tools at http://www.cisco.com/go/ordering. More information about getting the license files can be found in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Ordering and Licensing Guide

NCS Appliance Ver 1.1.1.24 VM High availability disk options

Hello,
I currently am running an NCS appliance running version 1.1.1.24. I am looking to set up a VM server as a redundant High Availability backup server. Per the config guides the VM server needs to be set up with identical physical specifications as the appliance. That means I will need to set a vm up with the following specs:
CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon Processor (2.4-GHz 12-MB Cache)
•Memory: 16-GB (1×2-GB, 2Rx8) PC3-10600 CL9 ECC DDR3
•Network Interface Cards: 2 x 10/100/1000 Gigabit
The config guide for the VM recommends that I start with a minimum 400Gb disk space. Does anyone have experience deploying a VM as a backup for an appliance? Does this sound correct?
Thanks,

NCS Appliance Installation Issue

Hi Everyone
Here is my situation:
My client has purchased the NCS appliance to manage WLC and other APs. However, after upgrading the IOS of WLC, the NCS appliance couldn't manage the WLC. So when we knew the NCS can directly upgrade to PI 1.3, we have done it successfully. That sounds greate and everything goes well. A few weeks ago, my client said that they couldn't use the PI. And then we found the drives(0 and 1) couldn't work and saw the bad status of them from appliance webios. So we claimed RMA from Cisco, then we downloaded the .ISO(NCS-APL-1.3.0.20-1-K9.iso) and burned into DVD(D9, 8.5G) to reinstall the OS. Then installing it, we got an error message as the below attachment. I have tried to burn the ISO into another DVD, it yet can't work. I made sure the the ISO is correct and entire, the process of buring DVD is also correct because I have used it to install the system on my PC. So is it necessary to find the old NCS appliance ISO file to burn and then upgrade to PI? If so, there is no more about physical iso link to donwload in Cisco website, just virtual ova files. Pls for you advices, thx in advance!

What OS did you deploy to the T450s?

Teaming or Port-channel support on NCS appliance

Hi, we have purchased one NCS PRIME-NCS-APL-K9 appliance. We are looking at connecting this box to two more swicthes configured in HSRP for the VLAN on which this box will be place. Can i configure active/stand-by teaming of both the ethernet ports available on this box.
If its possible, can you share with the relevant link on the Cisco website for the same.
Thanks in advance!

Have you gotten an answer to this question from any other source? Trying to find the same answer for a client.

Prime infrastructure 1.3 / 2.0 - LMS 4.2 and NCS PI coexist on one physical appliance?

I would like to purchase the physical appliance the serves both LMS/NCS. Is this possible on the NCS appliance running 1.3 or is this only available on a 2.0 appliance. If so any documentation supporting this would be appreciated..
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

You can't run two systems on an appliance. An appliance allows only one OS to run at a given time. PI and LMS need to be ran on a separate VM'swhich can be on the same VM host, but are individual virtual machines.

Upgrade WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 via NCS 1.1

I have done the upload of the XML File from our WCS 7.0 installation to get the License File. But on the NCS 1.1 installation the following License is needed first (Cisco Prime Network Control System 1.1 Config Guide):
NoteBefore adding the licenses that are migrated from your WCS installation, apply the L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9 license. The licenses migrated from WCS are generated as “ADD” licenses, and you cannot apply them unless you apply the L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9 license.
L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9 is the Product Number to do the upgrade from WCS 7.0 to NCS 1.0, R-WCS-PI11-M-K9 is the product number to dothe upgrade from WCS 7.0 to NCS/PI 1.1.
If I try to install just the License File I get from Cisco using the XML file from our WCS 7.0 installation, I get the error "Unable to add any license without an NCS (L-NCS-1.0-K9) license.".
But how do a get this license if I ordered R-W-PI12-M-K9 (WCS 7.0 to PI1.2 Upgrade License)? What is the step to get the right License?
Many thanks in advance for any help on that issue.
Best regards,
Hans

Hello Joe,
no. The information in the deployment Guide (the link i proveded before) is wrong.
You still need to follow the upgrade path WCS 7.0 -> NCS 1.1 (here you have to use for example 1.1.1.24, because 1.1.2.12 cannot be upgraded to PI 1.2), then you can upgrade NCS 1.1 to PI 1.2 (if you upgraded the WCS to NCS 1.1.1.24 you need to install a patch ncs_patch-1.1.1.24-upgrade-12.gz, for other 1.1 releases you need a different patch).
The major problem was the licensing. Because with the order of the Upgrade Licenses from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 I got "normal licenses", for PI 1.2, a Base License and Lifecycle Licenses (the number of Lifecycle Licenses matches the number from the order).
Because we ordered the WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 Upgrade Licenses I also ordered the NCS Appliance with the PI 1.2 (before I thought a direct upgrade from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 should be possibel, why not, if you can order the licenses with the description Upgrade License WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 :-)). So I had to downgrade the NCS Appliance to NCS 1.1. After the downgrade the NCS Appliance came up without any licenses. So the major porblem was that I could not use the PI 1.2 licenses (they are not installable on NCS 1.1). So I got a demo/temporary license from Cisco for NCS 1.1 to do just the migration. After the final upgrade to PI 1.2 I installed the base and the lifecycle licenses and now everything is fine.
Best regards,
Hans

Cisco Prime NCS 1.3 Licensing issue

Hello,
I am installing Cisco prime NCS x 2 servers. I downloaded the licenses which are ordered allong with the devices as follows.
Product Name                : L-PI12-LF-50-LIC
    Product Description         : L-PI12-LF-50-LIC:Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Lifecycle - 50 Device Lic PAK
    Product Qty                 : 1
    UDI                        : PID: PRIME-NCS-APL-K9
The issue is, the NCS appliance was not started properly and then I used the CD which came along with the server (NCS 1.3). Now my system is up and running but it is NCS 1.3 and when i upload the licenses, it shows that the UID is not matching with the system. Is this because the licenses are issued for NCS 1.2 and my system runs on 1.3? If so, what do you suggest, do i need to download NCS 1.2, install it, add the license and then upgrade to 1.3?
Thanks for your advise,
Regards
Jay

Cisco NCS - FTP Error

Hi!
I got a couple of questions regarding Cisco NCS (Network Control System) Version 1.1.0.58.
1. I've just installed Cisco NCS appliance(Red Hat) in vmware vsphere and l need to backup and transfer a Backup Repository to a Windows FTP Server. I can reach the FTP Share with Filezilla and other FTP clients on my local computer, but when I create a manual backup it fails on file transfer. I can ping the FTP Server from the Cisco ncs ssh session. In "Administration --> Background Tasks --> NCS Server Backup" I've succesfully entered the FTP Servers credentials without any errors. Any suggestions? See the output from debug option(attached file):
2. Is it possible to mount either an Samba/CIFS/- or NFSshare and directly backup repository on them? I feel a bit "tied behind my back" when there's no possibility to reach Red Hat OS shell, without a Root Patch (wich seems impossible to get hands of )

Hi,
So you made a repository for backup purpose on NCS?
When you do a sh repository "name of the repository" you must see a directory listing of the FTP directory. If not than there is something wrong with the repository

Upgrade Prime NCS

I have a Prime NCS appliance running 1.0.2.29 and I need to upgrade it to 1.1.0.58. I have downloaded the code from the Cisco site but I need to know how to upgrade the NCS.

Use the following command to upgrade from NCS 1.0 to NCS 1.1.0.58:
# application upgrade NCS-upgrade-bundle-1.1.0.58.tar.gz wcs-ftp-repo
In the preceding command, NCS-upgrade-bundle-1.1.0.58.tar.gz is the upgrade bundle file, which is available for download.
The repository used in the example, wcs-ftp-repo, can be any valid repository.
Examples of repository configurations follow.
FTP Repository:
# configure
(config)# repository wcs-ftp-repo
(config-Repository)# url ftp://ip-address
(config-Repository)# user ftp-user password plain ftp-user
(config-Repository)# exit
(config)# exit
SFTP Repository:
# configure
(config)# repository wcs-sftp-repo
(config-Repository)# url sftp://ip-address
(config-Repository)# user ftp-user password plain ftp-user
(config-Repository)# exit
(config)# exit
TFTP Repository:
# configure

I am not sure if I understand you correctly but if you go for a physical appliance, NCS and LMS both needs their own dedicated appliances. Have a look here:
Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1 Ordering and Licensing Guide
that's what is written in section " Ordering Information for New Customers" point 5.:
5. Purchase the physical appliance if the desired deployment option is a physical appliance rather than a virtual appliance. Both Cisco Prime NCS and Cisco Prime LMS support the physical appliance deployment option. Each product requires its own dedicated physical appliance. Refer to Table 2.

Prime NCS Alarm Browser

Hello all,
we have Cisco Prime NCS Ver. 1.0.2.29 running on a virtual appliance. Since a few weeks the alarm summary shows alarms but the alarm browser window is empty.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Hubert

Hubert,
You should install the patch logged in as the admin user to the CLI of the NCS appliance
The latest patch for NCS 1.1.1.24 is named ncs_1_1_1_24-Update.13.4.tar.gz and can be found here:
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284396249&flowid=34522&softwareid=284272933&release=1.2.1&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=all
Here’s a way to install the patch:::
1)      From your PC launch a CMD Prompt
2)      CD to the directory where the patch is installed
3)      ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this is the IP address of the NCS/PI server)
4)      login as ftp-user
5)      enter the password created during the install of NCS/PI for the ftp user account (if you don’t know it, you can change it by entering:
a)      ncs password ftpuser ftp-user password from the CLI
6)      type bin then press return
7)      type hash then press return
8)      type
put
9)      login to the CLI of the NCS/PI server
10)   type dir disk:ftp and you’ll see the file stored in that directory on the disk
11)   if you don’t have a repo pointing to disk:ftp then create one using
     a)      config t
     b)      repository localftp
     c)      url disk:/ftp commands
     d)      exit
12)   type ncs stop
13)   type patch install localftp

What might i be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help.

are you able to ssh or console into the NCS appliance?
if so, please run an ncs status command to see if all ncs processes are running:::
also, can you try to launch an MS-DOS or CMD prompt and try to
ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
enter ftp-user for the username
enter whatever password you think it is.
