Cisco :: Setup Prime LMS 4.2 With Pair Of Soft Appliance?
Jun 10, 2013
I am trying to setup prime LMS 4.2 with a pair of soft appliance. As I understand that HA is possible with the use of veritas/vmware for windows/solaris; I was wondering what are the possible high availability options available with a pair of prime LMS appliances? Can it form active/secondary with data synchronization/data redundancy of the LMS on top of the traditional backup/restore of the lms?
We have an installation of Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 soft appliance on VMware and i would like to ask if it is possible to backup the database on an external drive other than the 'local' LMS hard disk.
I have to install Prime LMS 4.2 on ESX customer infrastructure (ova image as soft appliance). The customer would like to know if LMS 4.2 is compatible with his backup agents :
While running the install wizard of soft appliance LMS 4.1 it asks for hostname and also the domain during the install. Is the hostname suppose to be fully qualified domain name exp: foo.blah.com or just hostname without fqdn exp: foo? Reason why I ask is when I ran the following command below in the shell it doesn't look like it is setup correctly. Also if I did the install without my hostname in dns first will this mess up my install?
I try to upgrade LMS 4.2 to LMS 4.2.1 on a soft appliance and i got this error. To upgrade from LMS 4.2 to LMS 4.2.1:
lms/admin# conf t lms/admin(config)# repository myrepo lms/admin(config-Repository)# url disk://opt lms/admin(config-Repository)# end lms/admin# application upgrade Cisco_Prime_LAN_Management_Solution_4_2_1upgrade.tar.gz myrepo Save the ADE-OS running configuration?(yes/no) [yes]? yes Generating configuration... Saved the ADE-OS running configuration to startup successfully Initiating Application Upgrade... % Local file not found lms/admin#
I have a new installation of LMS 4.2 on the Soft Appliance and seem ot be only able to configure backups to the local disk? There is no option to select any of the configured repositories like there is in ACS. I can backup to /local disk, after change to filesystem as below:
chgrp casusers -R /local disk chmod 0775 /local disk
But the issue is, how to I get this off the box in an automated fashion so it can be part of our corporate backup schedule?
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) ?
We have an ACE Appliance in a DMZ and the ACE Appliance's Admin Context IP is translated between ACE and ANM. The ANM Server does not get translated. It is just the opposite then in another Community discussion.
Our Problem: When adding the ACE4710 Appliance to the ANM imported Device List, we use the ACE's NATed Admin Context IP. Import works well, but ANM reflects the Admin Context IP with it's real configured IP. Polling the ACE Appliance does not work therefore.
Is there a possibility of telling the ANM, that the ACE has to be polled through a NATed IP? I could not find a field to set a NATed Mgmt IP.
Configured IP on ACE Admin Context: 192.168.0.10 NATed ACE Admin Context IP: 172.16.0.10
Imported ACE with IP 172.16.0.10 into ANM, but ANM polls for Rserver, Vserver, Probes, etc. via 192.168.0.10 - which is not reachable from the ANM.
We have a pair of N7K distribution switches connected to a pair of N7K Aggregation switches.We run vPC on both pairs of n7k's.
-n7k-d1 has two interfaces in a Port-Channel connecting to n7k-a1 & n7k-a2. (PC1) -n7k-d2 also has two interfaces in a Port-Channel connecting to n7k-a1 & n7k-a2. (PC2)
My problem is that Spanning-Tree is blocking PC2 and all traffic from n7k-d2 is traversing the Peer-Link before reaching the Aggregation layer. Is this the best design for connecting two pairs of n7k's with vPC or if a better design would be to connect all 4 links into the same Port-Channel and vPC?
I've got a router on which I run a backup/media/print server, a couple of computers and a voip box. My router has only four ethernet lan sockets which are thus all occupied by the above, but I need to attach at least one further device b
Secondly, could a splitter such as >> this one << do the job? I'm guessing this basically split a single 4-pair ethernet connection into two 2-pair ethernet connections.
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 :

I am trying to create a VBR soft pvc across a T3 and T1 backup link, but I am confused about what values to use for PCR, SCR and MCR. If I use high values for the T3, what will happen when this link is down and the soft PVC reroutes across the T1? I would like to use percents (%) for the values, i.e. voice can use 25% of the link, then it would make more sense when using the backup T1 link.
Before nearly four years we have purchased 4 Cisco ASA 5500 Device for our organization.Out of these four device currently two are active in field and other two we kept as a spare.Now, in one active device we are facing very rare and strange issue.
The device automatically soft reboot once in nearly 60 days and we do not have any pre or post symptoms of this incident only server logs providing us this information.The device itself located in very controlled environment in a data center where physical tampering or temperature waviness is not possible.
We also asked one Cisco Expert from data center but still issue is not solved.Before two month, using remote syslog service we also started log redirection to a server so that when such incident occurs we have something to analyze but it is worthless log has nothing to tell us.
My questions are
1. "It is a hardware fault or software issue?"
2. "Is it possible with Cisco 5500 that automatically it reboots due to some internal hardware/software issue, if yes how we can trap or monitor it?
We recently upgraded to higher speed internet and were to "reset" our modem, which is PCI Soft Data Fax Modem With SmartCP.How does one "reset" their modem?
I have a rather complex issue that involves a Cisco softswitch, a Cisco router configured for BGP routing, a L2 Cisco switch, and two RAD IPMUXs.I am including a flat diagram that illustrates the layer 2 connections. On the diagram, the number adjacent to the vertical connection bar is the vlans allowed on that connection, either switchport access or trunk.
I use BGP routing on the router to advertise various routes. The issue is that the routes for the RAD IPMUX216 and RAD24 are both being advertised correctly and can be seen from remote sites. For example, from any remote site, I can ping any address on vlan 60 such as the switch, router, and IMMUX216 IPs. However, I can only ping the vlan 61 IPs for the router and switch, but not the RAD24. Even from the Softswitch and Router, I cannot ping the vlan 61 ip of the RAD24, 172.22.248.6. I can ping the softswitch from the router and vice-versa.
Here is a flat diagram for the network with some snippets of code. I can provide more info if needed. I changed the routable IPs just to hide some of our actual info. If I ping 172.22.248.6 from the softswitch and then issue the "sh arp" command, I get:
Victoria-SW#sh arp Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface Internet 172.22.248.1 0 0016.4650.c411 ARPA Vlan61 Internet 172.22.255.6 - 0019.5678.7d43 ARPA Vlan80 Internet 172.22.248.6 0 Incomplete ARPA Internet 172.22.240.14 - 0019.5678.7d42 ARPA Vlan60 Internet 172.22.240.13 0 0020.d239.01a0 ARPA Vlan60 Internet 172.22.248.5 - 0019.5678.7d44 ARPA Vlan61 Internet 172.22.240.1 69 0016.4650.c411 ARPA Vlan60
Ok I have a toshiba satellite with the above stated modem in place, however I am not sure if the modem is wireless capable. I have been trying to figure out how to connect it to my network.
One of the many things that I liked about the e4200 over my olg 54GL was the fact that I could reboot it remotely. However, I've recently had a few problems that only a full power down would fix. In addition, I've noticed that the DCHP client table doesn't reset when I do a soft reboot. Is this intentional? Is the soft reboot not really a full reboot? Can it be made a real reboot?
We would like to install a pair of ACS 5.4 apliance as primary /backup in our two datacentres.I have some question regarding degin.
1- We have 800+ network device to monitor , can we install by range of address instead of instlling one by one in device host database ? 2- Do We have to install all 800 device first on Primary and then again on backup or Primary will replicate to backup server? 3- We do not have real IP address yet, so if we built with dummy address and make them pair and all the database sync, then when we change their IP address, will the distributed primary pair will have any issue with backup ACS server?
I have 2 5508 that are currently running as active with 150 licenses each. I want to go to HA SSO can 100 of the licenses be relicensed to the primary since it only requires 50 licenses to convert an active license 5508 to standby HA SSO?
i am trying to setup a failover pair on Cisco asa 5520 - need a state full failover. Do i need two ports dedicated to obtain the above - one for LAN based failover and one for state full fail over ? also do i need a switch in between to connect them ?
For some weeks I have been trying to pair my Samsung Galaxy S2 with my Lenovo Thankpad SL500. The consistent message is "Unable to pair with [laptop]. Incorrect PIN or PASSWORD.
Well which is? PIN? or PASSWORD? - or does the system not know, so it's taking a guess? If it doesn't know, how can I possibly know?
Having read many articles about his on the www, I am still none the wiser as to what is causing this. What's wrong with the PIN or PASSWORD - is it too hot, or too cold? Wrong font face, colour or size? Wrong latitiude, longitude or elevation? Wrong time of day or month? Are the auspices in general not favourable? Am I facing in the wrong direction as I type? Have I chosen the wrong weight/color of paper for my printer? Is my body odor unacceptable? Is the length of grass in my lawn not quite right? Oh, the number of options is so large - where does one start?
Oh, and before I forget - assuming I can find what constitutes a correct PIN or PASSWORD, where does one set it? btw pairing this phone with the media player in my 10 year old car works immediately and flawlessly!
Is it possible to run a large LAN over copper twisted pair cables?This is to connect 41 PC's that monitor fire systems on a large hospital site.I am trying to use the existing cable that is wired in a loop all round the site.
I have a long 2 pair cat 5 cable which I want to use to connect a ADSL modem to my desktop (located in a different room). I took the cable to few local computer dealers but none of them could connect an RJ-45 connector to it. They can only connect a 4 pair cat 5 cable. Connect a 2 pair cat 5 Ethernet cable to a RJ-45 connector. Kindly use simple language. I have attached an image of the cable for your reference. [URL]
My colleague wants to use our load balancers for VPN. We are coming off 3030s which are serving remote access IPSec as well as terminating LAN to LAN tunnels for like 7 sites.I want to secure the 5540s behind our front end 5585Xs when we move prod to the new dc.We have no immediate need for clientless but need to support osx lion and IPSec client does not. Thats all that's driving this effort currently. I already reminded mgmt that the 3030 and the IPSec client are end of life.I just think anyconnect is the better solution based on current skillset and the popularity of the solution.
I have a running ASA5520 in my network and recently we plan to add a failover pair as a standby unit for the running asa. Both of the ASA have the same specs and software. the only thing that the soon to be secondary ASA does not have is the AnyConnect Essential license. is it still possible for the unit to be the standby unit?
below is the license capture from both of the unit.
Running ASA: Licensed features for this platform: Maximum Physical Interfaces : Unlimited Maximum VLANs : 150
I already know that there is an option using Patton Copper Link Ethernet extender to interconnect a remote LAN with this device. Do you know if this is possible using Cisco 888-K9 or any other Cisco Device ?
We have recently got 2 of our Cisco ASA 5520 firewalls through RMA. These are supposed to run in a Active/Active Failover Pair. There was only 1 RMA request that was opened for both the firewalls. We have received only 1 Activation key for this RMA request for both the firewalls. Just want to check with you if this Activation key will work on both firewalls or do we need a get a seperate one for the other box.
I'm trying to set up remote access IPsec VPN on a pair of ASA 5540 without much success. I can connect with a client on the outside, and when I try to ping something on the inside I can see the ping requests reach the target but the answers don't come back to the VPN client. I've tried with different NAT rules without success.
I want to clear the keys on a 2821 and generate new ones using the command crypto key zeroize command but I don't see this command available as an option. Below is the output of the available options..
