SANs and inventory collection - ZAM 7.5

Has anyone performed an inventory on a server that is SAN attached ?
Do the drives report as local drives or network drives ?
Do those drives get inventoried ?
What is the impact on the SAN if multiple clustered servers are connected to the same SAN filesystem and attempt to perform their inventories at the same time ?
My concerns are that :
Software inventory might report as multiple installations in the reports where the actual number might only be a single instance.
Disk I/O on the SAN will increase proportionally by the number of servers attempting to perform inventory on this filesystem at the same time.
Any feedback from the user community and/or Novell would be appreciated.

Inventory collection fails on VSS and 6509 switches

We have approximately 12 devices that are listed as "Inventory Never Collected". When trying to run the collection manually we get errors as shown in the attached log files.
We are running RME 4.3.1 under LMS3.2.
The devices are running IOS versions:
12.2(18)SXF7
Can anyone assist?
Jon

The last error I saw was a timeout issue, and that is a known issue that can be solved by increasing the timeout. With the higher timeout, clear out the IC_Server.log, then run a new inventory collection job and post the new log. You may also need to do a sniffer trace filtering on all SNMP traffic to the device while performing the inventory collection. This should indicate to what value the timeout needs to be set.

LMS 4.0 Inventory Collection GBICs and serial nos.

Hi All,
I have larger numbers of WS-C3560X-24/24P/48 Cisco switches with1000BaseSX SFP GIBCs installed per switch in my network and they are all added to my DCR just fine. However, when i generate an inventory hadrware report GBICs and GBICs serial number is not showing up. Is there any special settings i need to make?
Let me know if you need additional information to help to identify the problem, i'll provide it.
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Rob

GBICs and SFPs and such will show up in a detailed device report.
If you create a custom report ("Reports, Report Designer, Syslog and Inventory, Create"), you can extract that information into a useful form for your purposes. You will want to use the report designer and pull out "port serial number" plus something like device name. I just did this myself and verified it will pull the SFP serial number from a device. They key fields are "Inventory Group: port" and "Attribute: port serial number"
Here is a screen shot from the report I created showing the serial number you are asking about:

LMS 3.1 Inventory Collection fails

I have the same problem as the following post:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/176673?tstart=0&viewcondensed
Also, LMS fails inventory collection every time. I click on the "failed" link from LMS Portal, but the page never comes up detailing why it has failed. This is after I fixed an issue with group policy overwriting the "Logon as batch" setting for casuser. Everything appeared to be up and running normally again, when I noticed the next day that inventory polling/collection is failing. pdshow attatched.
The following error message continues to show up in the rme_ctm.log file:

RME 4.3, Inventory Collection doesn't work for 6500

I have a issue with Inventory collection for 6500 devices running IOS 12.2.33 SXI1, fails with a message, "device collection failed"
From IC_Server log i could see SNMP Request timeout exception, so increased SNMP timeout to 10 under device attributes for the device but still it fails.
attacehd is the extract from IC_Server log.
Could anybody help me on this? Thanks

You have not increased the timeout properly. You need to go to RME > Devices > Device Management > RME Devices, and edit the attributes for the required device. Select the device from the list in the left-hand pane to pre-populate the current attributes. Then increase the SNMP timeout to 10, and save the changes. On the previous screen, you will need to APPLY those changes before the 10 second timeout will take effect.

The ICServer process could have locked up which means a full thread dump will be required to see why this is happening. Open a TAC service request, and they can walk you through getting this.

LMS 3.0.1, RME 4.1.1 - Inventory Collection Status displays too many device

Running LMS 3.0.1 with RME 4.1.1 on a Windows box. On the Inventory Collection Status screen I see the following:
Inventory Collection Status No. of Devices
Inventory Collected: 1246
Inventory Never Collected: 0
Inventory Recently Failed: 34
Total 1246
The problem with this is that I only have 668 devices. Is this just a cosmetic issue?

Assuming you're not integrated with ACS, then yes. If integrated with ACS, some of the devices may not be authorized. You will need to check your ACS configuration to make sure all devices in LMS are known to ACS and that your user (and the System Identity User) is authorized to manage them.

Prime Infrastructure 2.0: Inventory Collection - Partial Collection Failure on 2 of 4 VSS WS-C6509-E

Hello,
I've got a strange behaviour regarding the inventory collection for 2 of 4 virtual switching systems.
That means the inventory collection for two VSS is succesfull (inventory collections status = Completed) for the other two systems it is not, see attachments.
The device credentials like SNMP-RW, SSH acces are OK. I've already tried to increase SNMP timout and retries as well as telnet/ssh timout without success
All 4 systems are identical regarding hardware model and software vesion.
HW: WS-C6509-E
SW: 12.2(33)SXJ3
Any ideas or suggestions?
Best regards,
Bastian

TAC and I found a bug, CSCum05301.
May be that is also helpfull for others.
https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCum05301/
Symptom:
Inventory collection will fail if following keywords are used as part on description command on the interface config level of IOS device: 1Gbps, 10Mbps etc.
Following error message is visible on the DWC:
Inventory Collection Status: Partial Collection Failure
Collection Status Failed feature(s)
Unable to configure DSL, Serial, POS, Ethernet, Loopback, Virtual-Interface, Tunnel, Vlan, Switchport and Service Module interfaces on ISR, ASR and Switches.
Conditions:
Speed keywords like 1Gbps, 10Mbps etc. available as part of descrption command in IOS interface level.
For example:
interface FastEthernet0/3
description 10Mbps
Workaround:
Use a space character between number and unit keyword, like 1 Gbps.

LMS 3.2 Inventory collection - Job timeouts after ~5h, all devices "Not attempted"

Hello All,
We have a strange problem with LMS 3.2 regarding Inventory Collection.
This problem started immediatelly after the LMS installation/upgrade (LMS 3.2 was installed on a new server, and LMS 2.6 database migrated to it).
All Jobs finish as failed, with all devices "not attempted".
Job hangs for a five and a half hours and then reports failed status.
The symptoms are the same for scheduled jobs and manually created jobs.
I also have opened a TAC case, but it seems that nothing relevant can be found in the IC_Server.log.
Also, according to a packet capture, it seems that LMS does collect SNMP data from devices after a job is started...
We tried to upgrade RME 4.3.0 to 4.3.1.
One Job immediately after the upgrade was succesful (Inventory was collected for manually selected device), but the next day all Inventory Jobs were failing again with the same symptoms...
Does anyone have a sugestion where to look for a problem trace?
Thanks in advance!
Ragards,
Jasmina

Hi Jasmina ,
Please chech the Existing MDF pacakge :
go to common service > software center > device update >>> check the checkbox for Cisco works common service and click on check for updates
--if there is an Update , please upgarde the MDF version..
--Similarly look for any Available Device Pacakges update for RME , if there are Upgarde all the Device Pacakages ....
--After all of the above Task is done , Now re-run the Job and it still fails then share the IC_server.log again..
Thanks--

Inventory Collection problem for RME 4.3.1 LMS 3.2

I recently upgraded from LMS 3.1 to LMS 3.2 and RME v 4.3.1. I have problems with the inventory collection. It will start scanning, but stops after approximately 10 devices. The rest of them will have a pending state. If I stop the collection job and start it again none (0) devices will be scanned. If I restart the ICServer it will result in the first option. That is, it will scan only 10 devices and then stop. I have extended the SNMP timeout to 30 secs and zero retries. Any suggestion would be appreciated

I have read through the dump and cant find anything in particular. Another discovery I've made is that the SNMP walk of an unsuccessful device takes 10 times longer than a successful device. An inventory job on a unsuccessful device only goes into pending and the job never starts.

LMS 3.2 RME 4.3.1 Inventory collection failing for switches

I have 6 switches that inventory is failing for. They do run the 12.2(33)SXI3 software but I have the CSCtb16925-1.0 patch installed. I've tried to increase the SNMP timeout for the devices but they still fail.
Ideas?
Chris Jasztrab

You did not properly increase the SNMP timeout. Go to RME > Devices > Device Management > RME Devices, and edit the attributes of the device in question. Perform an inline edit. Click on the device name, then change the existing SNMP timeout value to 10. Then save your changes, and apply them on the previous screen. Then inventory collection should work.

LMS 3.2 Inventory Collection Failing

Inventory collection is failing without any detailed error information. I'm attaching IC_Server.log. Example device is 10.79.82.250, towards end of log. I see these messages but not sure what to make of them. SNMP communication is ok and walk of system mib is ok.

Go to RME > Devices > Device Management > RME Devices, and edit the device attributes for this device. Change the SNMP timeout to 10 seconds. Make sure you apply the changes you make. After doing that, inventory collection should work.

RME 4 - Inventory Collection Failure

I am getting the following RME inventory collection error on 4 devices. These 4 devices were recently added to the network and were all attached to a new radius server. I have tested AAA to the 4 switches and am confident that radius is working as intended.
The devices are a mix of 2950 and 3550 switches.
Here is the error.
RICS0001:Internal Error,unable to process the collected data from the device.
Thanks in advance.

In that case, this is probably CSCsk65355 which should be fixed in 4.1.1. However, 4.1.1 suffers from CSCsm97530. So I would suggest to first upgrade to RME 4.1.1. If you continue to see this, then you can contact TAC and apply patch for CSCsm97530 over 4.1.1.
