Upgrade Cisco LMS to PI

We currently operate Cisco Prime LMS v4.1 and we're looking to upgrade Cisco PI (Prime Infrastructure) in the next few weeks.
Is there an upgrade path from Cisco LMS to PI? The reading I have completed seems to indicate that an upgrade can only be completed from Cisco NCS.
If I need to perform a new install of PI, can I somehow Migrate / Import my existing device database and config into the new software? I have configured some syslog fault rules for e-mail notification, config templates, custom reports, etc, that I would also like to keep and not necessarily recreate.
Thanks.

As cwallin noted, LMS 4.2.2 patch added the ability to migrate some information from LMS to PI.
Most customers would not be well-served by migrating a mature LMS implementation to PI at this time due to the fact that PI does not yet have feature parity with LMS, Even PI 2.0 (due out in a couple of months) will not have complete feature parity.
See this link for a current comparison.

Cisco LMS 4.0.1 to Prime Infrastructure 2.x Upgrade

Hello,
we are using Cisco LMS and want to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
Now we have received the following license update: L-L-PI2X-100-U - LMS to Prime Infrastructure 2.x Upgrade 100 Device
and I wonder what is the best way to upgrade.
After a long search I found the following document on cisco:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/cloud-systems-management/prime-infrastructure/guide-c07-729990.html#wp9000727
There is only the talk of the upgrade from 4.2 LMS to Prime.
The problem is that we can not update to version 4.2 because of an error. Thats one reason why we need to upgrade to prime.
Is the only possibility now to export databases?
thanks in advance

Upgrading from cisco LMS 3.0 to a latest version

Hello,
Upgrading from cisco LMS 3.0 to a higher version.
Whatdoes it require?.
What is the current version?
What do we need for upgrading?
Are there specific codes or new need to buy new products?
In case of buying new products, which are the configurations?

H Malik,
You are correct! Latest version is Cisco prime LMS 4.2. There is no direct upgrade from LMS 3.x to LMS 4.x.
The procedure is simple:
Take backup orf old LMS --> Un-install (if same machine)--> Install new LMS --> Restore backup to get old data.
You would need to purchase new license for it.Cisco Prime LMS is now part of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure bundle and is not orderable separately. Cisco Prime Infrastructure bundle follows a size-based incremental licensing model. Device licenses can be combined and added when applied to a single server installation instance. Customers have the option of adding incremental licenses for additional devices as their network grows.Refer to the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Ordering Guide located at http://www.cisco.com/go/primeinfrastructure for the exact part number that matches your requirement and placing the order.
Currently even SmartNet or SAS contracts does not cover major upgrades from LMS 2.x and 3.x; an upgrade part number will need to be purchased to move to Cisco Prime LMS 4.2. These upgrade part numbers reflect a significant discount to protect customers' investment in the Cisco Prime product line.
The data migration process will vary depending on the LMS version from which the data need to be migrated. Migrating data to LMS 4.2:
• LMS 4.2 supports local upgrade or direct inline upgrade only from LMS 4.0.1 and LMS 4.1.
• LMS 4.0 customers are encouraged to install LMS 4.0.1 before doing inline upgrade to LMS 4.2.
• LMS 3.2 and LMS 3.2 Service Pack 1 customers can do a remote upgrade through the LMS backup and restore mechanism.
• LMS 3.1, LMS 3.0, LMS 3.0 December 2007 Update, LMS 2.6, and LMS 2.6 Service Pack 1 customers need to do a remote upgrade to LMS 4.0.1 and then upgrade to LMS 4.2.

Upgrade from LMS 3.0.1 to LMS 3.1 or 3.2 and problem with devices update

Hello
How to upgrade from LMS 3.0 December 2007 update to LMS 3.1 or LMS 3.2. The problem is the large number of C2960S-24TS-L switches that my organization has and cannot managed them..
I tried to upgrade devices through Software Center but always Ciscoworks informs me with the following message.
"Error while downloading package information from Cisco.com for the selected products. See the log file for details".
Also i can not run EOL/EOS inventory report. The message is
" INVREP0102: Cisco.com user credentials are invalid. Enter correct credentials." I check my credentials and is right.
The server has access to www through proxy without any restrictions.
In the past I've already updated devices through the software center. Also in the past i ve run EOS/EOL inventory reports.
The LMS 3.0 December 2007 has the following products

Hi,
the problem to access cisco.com is because of a "bug". Its ID is CSCto46927.
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCto46927
Symptom:
After the 16th of June 2011 LMS will no longer be able to download Software and Device Package updates, or PSIRT and End of Sale/Life information from CCO
Conditions:
Hosted services in Cisco.com that are being leveraged by LMS, for downloading the latest Software and Device Package updates, as well as the PSIRT and End of Sale/Life information are being migrated to a new framework and the old services will be retired.
This will affect all LMS 3.x and 4.x versions.
Refer to https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-16806 for more information
Workaround:
Users of LMS 3.2.1 , 4.0 should install the patch that can be downloaded from cisco.com
Users of earlier version will need to upgrade to LMS 3.2 and then install the LMS 3.2 SP1 patch set before installing the patch"
Because of that it is necessary to upgrade not only to 3.1 or 3.2, you need 3.2.1 to get the patch and then access to cisco.com again.
The question about the better way for updating I can't answer. I did a update to 3.1 and then to 3.2. But I think you will find the requirements for the updates in the notes for them.
But I can't find LMS 3.1 in the cisco download center. There is only 3.2 and 3.2.1 available for me.

Upgrade to LMS 4.2.5 - dmgtd.ext being used by another process

I'm upgrading from LMS 4.2.4 to LMS 4.2.5 on a Window's system.
The upgrade wizard starts and the prerequisites are met. It errors out with the following message;
"These files are currently being used by another running process. You must stop all processes listed below to proceed successfully with this installation.
D:\CSCOpx\bin\dmgtd.exe"
The processes have stopped though. I ran the command "net stop crmdmgtd" and it returned "The Cisco Prime Daemon Manager service is not started."
So, does anyone know how to get the dmgtd.exe stopped so that I can proceed with the upgrade?
Thanks,
Mike S.

Hi Mike,
After shutdown the LMS services (net stop crmdmgtd)
then Open the "task Manager" > Click on "Processes" and look for dmgtd.exe or dbsrv10.exe , sm_server or any other LMS services running , I am sure there should be one . Kill it Manually from the Task Manager and run the installation again.
Thanks-

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.

DFM Error after Upgrade from LMS 3.1 to LMS 3.2

Hi Cisco Community,
I have a big problem with the LMS Application Device Fault Manager 3.2.0 after an Upgrade from LMS 3.1 to LMS 3.2
The LMS upgrade finished without error.
The Alerts and Activities Diplay encountered an error with the following message:
"An exception occured.Please check the AAD.log file for further details"
You find the "pdshow" and "netstat" output and also the AAD.log, DeviceManagent.log, EPM.log, brstart.log and TISServer.log attached to this message
Everything else works fine.
A Cisco Daemon Manager restart doesn't fix this problem.
Any ideas to fix this problem?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Stephan B.

The output of the command "brcontrol" was:
Error attaching to broker: S25B2005:9002!
I found a workaround for this error message at the release notes for the Cisco Unified Operations Manager.
The workaround is:
1.) net stop crmdmgtd
2.) Wait 15 minutes
3.) net start crmdmgtd
After completion of this workaround, I got the following output:
Broker is located at: S25B2005:9002      Started: May 07 11:08:47 2010

You find this outputs attached to this message.
Unfortunately the errors in the DFM application are the same as before.
Also I get some error messages in the "Polling and Threshold" menu.
You find this error message attached to this message.
I already execute the following steps from the Cisco TAC to solve this problem.....without success.
Stop Daemons >>> net stop crmdmgtd from CLI.
Open windows explorer and go to \CSCOpx\databases\dfmFh. Delete dfmFh.log.
Go to \CSCOpx\databases\dfmFh> from CLI and run:
dbsrv10.exe -f dfmFh.db from CLI.
Similarly open windows explorer and go to \CSCOpx\databases\dfmEpm. Delete dfmEpm.log.
dbsrv10.exe -f dfmEpm.db from CLI.
Similarly open windows explorer and go to \CSCOpx\databases\dfmInv. Delete dfmInv.log.
dbsrv10.exe -f dfmInv.db from CLI.
Note : Please check a screen will pop up each time you execute these commands.
Then, Start daemons >>> net start crmdmgtd from CLI.

Cisco LMS 4.2.2 installation problem

Hi
The Cisco LMS 4.2 installation went without hickup, and it works fine.
When i try to upgrade to 4.2.2 i get a error during the installation that some files are locked.
I checked the documentation, it says nothing about stopping services before the upgrade.
I tried stopping the management daemon, but it still throws the same error.
You can view a screen shot on the link below.
http://bildr.no/view/1276942

After what you have done, it is strange to see this error. As if the Daemon manager is set to manual and Server rebooted, any ciscoworks process should not be running, unless started manually.
Do you have any tool/software to manage processes and it starts some essential processes when they are down??
> Do you see dmgtd.exe in task manager? It is Obvious for a executable to keep hold of many .dll library files, hence as soon as the .exe filed is killed, the .dll files should be free and you can try hitting retry.
Please make sure you comply to following best practices for windows installation :

Problems upgrading from LMS 3.0 to LMS 3.2 - the backup fails.

I'm upgrading from LMS 3.0 to LMS 3.2 on Solaris. I've met all of the prereq's, patches, etc. It keeps failing on the Backup...It claims I need 15 Gig for the backup. The backup directory I'm using (/opt/backup) has 35 Gig free, so that shouldn't be the issue.
Here is the error I'm seeing in the backup.log;

okcwsi:
I've tried this multiple times and each time it appears to fail on a different file/folder in the sw_images directory. This is our FTP directory where we store lots of IOS images for download. I've removed each of these files it errors out on and it keeps failing. I just removed all files from the sw_images folder and am trying the backup again now.
I'm attaching the backup.log which contains the failure information for each backup I've tried in the past two days.
My main question is...can I skip this backup somehow? I've got another LMS 3.0 system that I can export everything I need from. Skipping the backup isn't an option on the install/upgrade? It gives me the option to quit the install or try the backup again.
Thanks,

You can skip the backup with a hidden option:
./setup.sh -b nobackup
However, I wouldn't feel comfortable until figuring out why the backup has been failing, ostensibly because tar is running into the 255-char limit (100 for the filename and 155 for the path), a result of the many iterations of the following:
sw_images/cisco_configs/sw_images/cisco_configs/sw_images/cisco_configs/sw_images/cisco_configs/sw_images/cisco_configs/sw_images/cisco_configs/sw_images/cisco_configs/sw_images/

Cisco LMS 3.2 SYSLOG not storing after 10 days

Hi ,
Im facing one issue with Cisco LMS 3.2
Issue : The logs is generating only for 10 days and post that im not able to see the logs. I have not done any config changes. The only change i have done is i have completely reinstalled the LMS. i did multiple troubleshoot but not able to resolve this isse. It would be great If any some one is able to help me in this isse. Thanks.
Regards,
Juliet

Dear Vinod
Thanks for ur response and the problem has been resolved.
The purge policy was set to 60 days only .The problem in reports viewing setting.
Syslog folder under LMS would store syslog reports of both the device as well as applications for defined folder size , which in your case was 1 MB ( same can be viewed under log generator option). The older reports would get deleted from the folder upon reaching the limit.
The only way to view device syslog is under following option : Reports -> Reports Generator in LMS GUI where we will have to choose syslog with desired attribute.
Regards,
Juliet

Cisco LMS 4.0 Graph some time not coming

I have installed cisco lms 4.0.
I have added 10 devices, previously it was working fine, Since last few days some time syslog and graph are not coming. after every reboot on server it started working. It is happening on daily.plz help me out with permanent solution
and also i have added manualy one device 7609-s router but not able to see cisco view
Error:-
Cannot find applicable device package for 10.133.224.131.
This error could be due to one of the following:
- The device package for this device type is not installed.
- Device support for this device type is not available.
- You are trying to open a component inside a device.
To correct the problem, either install a device package for the device type, or open the parent device to manage the component.
In device attribute it is showing 868 integrated router, I had try to delete and add again but problem is still same...
Windows 2008 r2 standard
RAM-16 Gb, Swap memory 8096

Evrything looks good. Are you able to access LMS in the server itself? Try to install another browser on your server and try to login.
Try both :
http://x.x.x.x:1741
https://x.x.x.x:443
Share NMSROOT/MDC/tomcat/logs/stdout.log and stderr.log.
-Thanks

Cisco lms - backup out of the box

when using cisco lms 4.2.5 linux version, what would be the best way to backup the config files out of the box?
what i'm lookin for is a way to take the shadow folder to another box for disaster recovery.

Hi, i found this solution to work very well for exporting files out of the box:
As user root:
1) on cisco-lms install sshfs, which lets you mount a folder on a remote box through sftp:
install in the following order:
rpm -ivh fuse-libs-2.7.4-8.el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh fuse-2.7.4-8.el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh fuse-sshfs-2.5-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
2) mount
mkdir /mnt/backup
sshfs root@<remote-linux-box-ip>:<remote-folder> /mnt/backup -o allow_other
3) rsync with cron
00 1 * * * rsync -r -v /var/adm/CSCOpx/files/rme/dcma/shadow/* /mnt/backup/ >> /root/rsync.log 2>&1

Error in Cisco LMS

Hi,
I get this error when i run some actions in CISCO LMS 3.2 i.e if I click in Campus Manager - Start Data Collection. it gives error " you are not access to request this action ".
What can be the problem?
Please find the attachment for your reference.
Please Suggest. waiting for your prompt reply.
Thanks

to fix the database issue , you need to reintilaze the ANI database:
1) Stop the daemon manager
"net stop crmdmgtd"
2) Go to NMSROOT\CSCOpx\bin.
NMSROOT\bin\perl.exe NMSROOT\bin\dbRestoreOrig.pl dsn=ani dmprefix=ANI
for linux:
/opt/CSCOpx/bin/dbRestoreOrig.pl dsn=ani dmprefix=ANI
3) Wait for a few minutes before starting the CW daemons again:
"net start crmdmgtd" (wait for at least 5 minutes before using CW again)

Cisco LMS 4.2 Appliance on VMware vSphere 4.0

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to install the Cisco LMS 4.2 Appliance on a VMware vSphere 4.0 environment.
I'm following the http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/install/guide/instl.html#wp1689675
guide.
I downloaded the Cisco_Prime_LAN_Management_Solution_4_2.iso and I started the server.
I get this screen and I choose option 1:
A Welcome message appears:
Welcome to Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.2
To boot from hard disk, press <Enter>
The following options appears:
•[1] Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.2 Installation
This option allows you to perform installation of LMS 4.2.
•[2] Recover administrator password
This option allows you to recover the administration password. Follow Step 3 to Step 17 of Recovering Admin Password on Soft Appliance Installed on VMware, to recover the administration password.
•<Enter> Boot existing OS from Hard Disk
This allows you to boot up the existing OS available in the hard disk.
However, unlike the installation on my laptop (using VMware Workstation) I cannot get to this part:
Enter the following configuration details of the server:
•Hostname
•IP Address
•Subnetmask
•Gateway
•DNS Domain
et cetera
What follows looks like an installation to me.
When this stops I get a
localhost login:
I cannot enter Setup as I get a password statement afterwards.
Can somebody please help me as I'm having no idea what went wrong..
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for your help, Marvin.
We went ahead with the .ova file and it worked alright.
We also did a little test and it seems that the .iso file does work on some VMware platforms. Our test environment had a VMware vSphere 4.1. When we started a VM with the same specs and the ISO file mounted, the installation did succeed.
