Just downloaded the Eval copy of Cisco Prime 1.2.
Wondering if I can run this under a VMware Player instead of loading it on a UCS server?
If yes, is there a recommended version of player?
I'm currently running CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 on Windows 2003 under VMware and just got upgrade licensing for Prime Infrastructure 1.2. I am assuming that I will need to upgrade the current server to Prime LMS 4.2 in order to ensure that data migration to Prime Infrastructure goes well. I am planning to follow Cisco's recommendation to run Prime LMS and Prime Infrastructure in parallel for a time and migrate individual functions.
My real question is about Syslog handling. All of the managed devices are currently sending Syslog data to LMS. As a last step in the migration, is it possible to change the IP address of the Prime Infrastructure server to replace the Prime LMS server so that the Prime Infrastructure server will just start getting all the Syslog data, or do I need to go change hundreds of managed devices to point to a new address?
What is the relation between: cisco NCScisco Prime LMSCisco Prime infrastructure.As i orderd a Cisco Prime infrastructure from a Cisco Partner and what i got is :
x2 cisco NCS appliances
x1 DVD cisco prime infrastructure
x1 DVD Cisco prime 4.2
WCS 7.0 to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 migration?I am so confused on the migration procedure as I found the documents in Cisco kind of contradictory.Some document said it is required to upgrade WCS to NCS 1.1 before to go to prime infrastructure 1.2.And the other document said WCS can directly upgrade to prime infrastructure 1.2.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have NCS 1.0 with 100 devices support license installed. Now knowing it has reached end of sale, and also for the fact that Prime does cover devices like routers, i went ahead to the upgrade path via PUT (Product Upgrade Tool). Finally I received an email (OBA) advising my order is ready. This email included two items in the shipment,
L-N-PI12-100-M=
NCS 1.0 to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Minor Upg 100 Device
L-PILMS42-100-M
Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 - 100 Device Upgrade Lic
When i click to the link in the same email to download the license, it only shows me one file which is L-PILMS42-100-M I tried using this file and installing on the NCS1.0 but it gives me error that this file is not a license file. The license name suggests me that it is not the license to be installed on the NCS. The file should be L-N-PI12-100-M=
I need to know how to do the upgrade from WCS 7.0 to Prime Infrastructure 1.2.
I was reading and i need to upgrade to the NCS 1.1 before to go to prime infrastructure 1.2.
I will need license to NCS 1.1 before upgrade to infraesctructure 1.2 ?
Will i have some problem with this upgrade ? correct process for not have any problem with this upgrade ?

I need to ad this URL e.g.: ftp://server/IT/Wi-Fi/Backup
This is not working. % Error reading directory on remote server
It works only when I add only the server. ftp://server/
Is there any way to add directories to the URL? Or what is wrong in my thought?
I think to use NFS but I'm not sure if that way is better as FTP, because FTP is default
I am thinking of upgrading the WCS to Cisco Prime NCS in our environment, but i read NCS is replaced by Prime infrastructure. Now I am confused if I should go for the NCS or Infrastructure. option for a smaller environment with 200APs and 4-5 WLCs(5500, 4400 and 2100) and future proof for the next 5 years. I heard WCS is going to be obsolete soon but didnt find any official announcement except for legacy licenses?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am looking for the licensing and upgrade path for going from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2.At present I have a WCS licensed for 200 APs which is managing one controller and 150 APs.I intend to use the Cisco Prime Upgrade Promotion to order R-W-PI12-M-K9 (WCS 7.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Migration) and L-W-PI12-100-M and L-W-PI12-100-M to match the number of licenses on the WCS.
Once Prime is installed I also want to manage another 50 devices, does that mean I have to purchase the Cisco PI 1.2 Base License and Software (R-PI12-Base-K9) and another 50 Lifecycle licenses, or will my existing 200 licenses from the upgrade suffice.
Trying to add Cisco 2504 Wireless Controller, Software Version 7.3.101.0, to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 (1.2.0.103), License Evaluation, with no success. When using Discovery, Discovery Job show Credential Errors: "Error occurred due to invalid SNMP credential"
When Add Device from Device Work Center I get: Reachability is "Unknown", Device Type is empty, Collection Status is "Managed with Warnings", with message "SNMP Failure: No Response for SNMP Get request.", Collection Time is empty.
I've tried with both snmp v2 and v3. I've tried to lower "Maximum VarBinds per Get PDU" to 10 or 20, cause I've read similar problem in NCS.
I am trying to add a router on Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 using snmpv3 (authpriv, sha & aes256). When i go to device work center and add a device, i cannot find the AES-256 in the privacy options. Only None, DES, and AES-128 are available.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I add this as a device in Prime, it seems to handle this as some sort of generic device, at least it doesn't know that it's a WAAS.
This is what Prime shows when I've added WAAS to the device list:
No Device Info for the selected device IP Address10.y.x.7Product FamilyOwning Entity ID16249245_10.y.x.7NE ID16250325
I have just installed prime 1.3 (brand new install), we have started a discovery job to find one switch (IP address), this job has so far come up with 311 credential failures and appears to be going through every 127.0.0.x IP address it can.Is there a way of stopping this job from running. Clicking on the Red X next to the name has no effect.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have newly deployed a Prime Infrastructure (PI) in my network, and i want to add my wirless controller in it. I get an error SNMP time out whenever i add my controller to PI through SNMP.
There are default SNMP configurations in the controller and i am simply adding them in PI with their private/public SNMP string.
WLC 5508 is connected to my core switch and PI is connected to another switch which is directly connected to core switch via Layer 3.
Is there any configuration required to be done on the switch side.?
Can i install Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 with 1.1 license.To be more precise it will be fresh installation but the licenses I have is of 1.1.As per my overview from Cisco prime Infrastructure 1.2 NCS and NCS(WAN) has been bundled into one service.But both were separate entities in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIm getting a bit confused about the whole upgrade migration process for the following config to Cisco Prime Infrastructure:
LMS - Version 4.1 , 500 devices. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1
NCS – version 1.1 , 50 devices Red Hat Linux ( 64 Bit) (Installation software - NCS-VA-1.0.1.4-small.ova)
I want to be able to backup databases and migrate licensing from LMS and NCS to one platform.
I have a client who has LMS 4.1 with SAS support, I know that I can upgrade him to the Prime infrastructure for LMS and NCS, however he is licensed for 100 devices. He also has WCS 7.0 with 50 AP licenses, I want to upgrade his LMS to Prime infrastructure and then migrate his WCS to NCS, but how do I know combine the both so that he is on one platform.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a Prime LMS and a Prime NCS instance running. At the moment, instead of having the 2 systems do device discovery independantly, I thought a good way to set things up would be for LMS to do all of the discovery, and then export the DCR from LMS into NCS.
Now doing this manually in a cinch, but I'd like to automate the process. LMS has some nice scripting features that allows me to easily use the 'dcrcli' script to export a CSV file of the all of devices and credentials, which can be put in a format that NCS can bulk import. I plan to do this on a regular basis using a cron entry.
What I can't seem to find is any documentation on how I might be able to achieve the import piece of the puzzle on the NCS box. Are there command line utilities as with LMS that would allow me to import devices, and put the scripting into a cron file to do on a regular basis?
After a successfull installation of NCS 1.2 into a vmware environment and run the setup I have the following error while trying to start or to have a status for NCS (ncs start ot ncs status):sh: /opt/CSCOlumos/bin/wcsadmin.sh No such file or directory

View 10 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a "no marketing babble" explanation of what exactly Cisco Prime Infrastructure does, that the built in 5508 Wifi administration console and Cisco Network Assitant does not do.I already use the "Cisco UC560 Configuration Assistant", the "Cisco Network Assistant" for our switches, and the "Wifi 5508 web admin console", and I am fine with that.At another site where I work, that is now going with Cisco Wifi, it is suggested that "Cisco Prime Infrastructure" be purchased.Is it important to me to have a "single pane of glass" view of the entire network? NO IT IS NOT.
All this marketing babble about having everything converged and accessible for mobile BYOD users. Yeah, that's great, but what is Cisco Prime Infrastructure actually going to do about all the mobile wifi devices coming in to the network that MUST use a web proxy to get out of our network? Many don't deal with proxy.pac correctly or don't read it at all, unless that function is explicitly turned on, by the individual device owner, in an often hidden location in their device settings. I am mainly looking at the $3000 a year price for Prime Infrastructure and going, no way, the Cisco Network Assistant and 5508 Wifi web console that are thrown in for free with the new hardware is fine with me.
