Installing Prime Network 3.8.1
To perform a standard installation of Prime Network 3.8.1, follow the instructions for installing Prime Network 3.8 that are documented in the Cisco Prime Network 3.8 Installation Guide.
To upgrade to 3.8.1, follow the Upgrading from Cisco ANA 3.7.x to Cisco Prime Network 3.8 section in the Cisco Prime Network 3.8 Installation Guide. The procedure is the same, with these differences:
•
You do not have to delete the $ANAHOME/main/drivers content from all of the units before you perform the upgrade. (This is stated in a Before You Begin note at the beginning of the upgrade procedure, but you can ignore it.)
•
When doing an upgrade from 3.8 to 3.8.1, you must install the 3.8.1 version of the ivne-drivers.tar file for Cisco Prime Network to be fully functional.
Web Browser Support
1.
Prime Network 3.8.1 web browser based GUI is supported on the following browsers:
•
Mozilla Firefox 7.0
•
Google Chrome 12, 13, and 14
•
Apple Safari 5.1
•
Internet Explorer 8 (on Microsoft Windows 7)
•
Internet Explorer 9 supported in IE 8 Capability Mode
2.
The minimum browser dimensions that Prime Network supports to successfully view the network discovery tool, is 900 x 600.
Supported Operating System for RHCS/ADG Gateway HA Solutions
Prime Network 3.8.1 is supported on Red Hat Enterprise for Linux, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7 with the Red Hat Clustering Suite. This applies to both local and geographical redundancy.
Support for Embedded Database on VMware
Oracle can now be installed on VMware. Prime Network 3.8.1 supports embedded database on VMware, with fault management performance of five events per second.
Post-Upgrade—Restarting Crontab Jobs for Unit Behind NAT/FW
Upgrading to Cisco Prime Network 3.8.1 removes crontab jobs from units. To manually restart these jobs for units behind NAT/firewall, do the following:
Step 1
Log in to the unit as the network user.
Step 2
Copy the upgrade_restart_crons.pl script from the gateway, as follows:
remote_copy.cmd "[your_gateway's_ip]:~/Main/scripts/upgrade_restart_crons.pl" Main/scriptsStep 3
Execute the above script on the unit. The following output is displayed:
./Main/scripts/upgrade_restart_crons.pl+ Updating the unit's cronjobs- Writing log to ~/Main/logs/upgrade_crons.log- Copying the files from the gateway (gateway's_ip)- Restarting the cronjobsStep 4
Verify the crontab list is not empty by executing the following command:
crontab -lStep 5
Verify the unit is starting up by executing the following command :
ps -ef | grep network user
Rolling Back from Prime Network 3.8.1
Rollback is available if you encounter problems during the upgrade, or if you need to roll back to an earlier version after the upgrade completes.
Note
If you are rolling back a gateway and one or more units are connected to the gateway, roll back the units first, then the gateway. The rollback will remove redundant units from the registry and the GoldenSource.
Complete the following procedure to roll back to Prime Network 3.8 or ANA 3.7.x:
Step 1
Verify that the Prime Network application is not running.
Step 2
Verify that the gateway and units are powered up and connected. That is, you can open an SSH session between the gateway and all units.
Step 3
If your environment contains standby/NAT units, use Prime Network Administration to remove the standby units from the gateway.
Step 4
Restore the backed-up database and start the database services and the listener. The database backup was done during the upgrade process as the database table structure changes during the upgrade. In order for the system to function correctly after a rollback, the old table structure must be recovered through a database backup. To restore an external database, contact your database administrator. Do the following to restore an embedded database:
a.
Log into the gateway as network user.
b.
Change to the directory NETWORKHOME/Main/scripts/embedded_db:
# cd $ANAHOME/Main/scripts/embedded_dbc.
Execute the restoration script:
# emdbctl --restore
Note
After you restore the database, Prime Network tries to reboot. The reboot does not succeed and an error appears in the gateway log that AVMs with a heap size of 6 GB cannot be configured. You can ignore this message and continue with the next step.
Step 5
If rolling back to 3.8, save the ~/Main/.ana and ~/Main/.version files for all units outside of the Prime Network home directory. If rolling back to 3.7.x, continue to Step 7.
Step 6
Uninstall and install 3.8 or 3.7.x unit (depending on the version you are rolling back to), but do not configue the unit at this point.
Note
Make sure the unit's user name and directory is same as the gateway.
Step 7
As the network user, go to the directory where the upgrade directory was copied during the upgrade procedure and enter the following command to change to the upgrade directory:
cd Prime_Network_upgrade (for 3.8)orcd ANA_upgrade (for 3.7.x)
Note
Make sure that the upgrade directory is not a subdirectory of the prime network home directory.
Step 8
As the network user, enter the following command on the Prime Network gateway only:
perl rollback.pl
CautionDo not deploy the rollback.pl script in the Prime Network home directory. If you do this, an error message appears that the script should not run from this location.
Step 9
Enter the required information at the prompts. The following table lists the prompts that appears at various stages of the rollback their required settings
Table 1-2 Rollback Prompts and Required Input
Prompt for... Enter... NotesHave you rolled back the database?
Y
Enter Yes if you have rolled back the database, as described in Step 4.
If you have not rolled back the database, do not continue. Complete the database rollback first, and then start this procedure again.
Have you reinstalled the units?
Y
Enter Yes if you have reinstalled any units connected to the gateway. If not, do not continue. Reinstall the units, and then begin the procedure again.
Are you sure you want to roll back the current Prime Network installation?
Y
Enter Yes.
Enter the full path to the backup archive file
Example:
/export/home/PrimeNetworkBackUp _[10 digits number].tar.gz
Enter the location of the backup archive directory. The rollback.pl script does not delete the backup archive.
The script reverts the gateway back to its earlier version.
Step 10
Run the following command on all units:
network-conf
Note
If a unit fails after executing network-conf, do the following:
a.
For roll back to 3.8, copy the ~/Main/.ana and ~/Main/.version file from the location specified in Step 5, back to ~/Main.
b.
Copy $ANAHOME/Main/registry/ConfigurationFiles/UNIT_IP/avm99.xml file from the gateway to the corresponding unit (UNIT_IP) to $ANAHOME/Main/registry. The UNIT_IP should be of the form 0.0.0.1.
c.
Start the unit (anactl start (ANA 3.7.x) or networkctl start (3.8 onwards)) without running network-conf again.
Step 11
If you have rolled back to 3.8, run networkctl start command to start the units or run anactl start command if you have rolled back to ANA 3.7.x.
Step 12
Use Prime Network Administration(for 3.8) or ANA Manage (for 3.7.x) to reconnect standby units.
Note
For units behind NAT, remove the newly created unit from the gateway.
Enabling the Network Discovery Feature for 3.8.1
You must perform the following steps after Cisco Prime Network installation or after an upgrade for the Network Discovery feature to work in Prime Network 3.8.1. For more details on the network discovery tool, see Network Discovery.
Step 1
Log in to the Prime Network gateway machine OS shell as the Prime Network user.
Step 2
Change the user to be the super user.
su root
Step 3
Enter the super user password.
enter root password: XXXX
Step 4
Navigate to the scripts folder located under the home directory of the Prime Network user.
cd /export/home/network381/local/scriptsStep 5
Change to tcsh shell.
tcsh
Step 6
Execute the setFpingPermissions script.
./setFpingPermissions.tcsh
The setFpingPermissions script is executed to ensure successful functioning of the network discovery tool and sets some permissions to the Fping utility. You will get a Fping permissions set successfully message if the utility is successfully executed. If you do not receive this message, please contact your Cisco account representative for assistance.
New Features and Enhancements in Prime Network 3.8.1
The following topics describe the new features and enhancements in Prime Network 3.8.1:
•
Find Mode vs. Automatic Data Retrieval in Prime Network Events
•
Change and Configuration Management Additional Device Support
•
E-Line Activation on 7600 WS Line Cards (with Limitations)
Network Discovery
The network discovery tool allows administrator and configurator users to automatically discover the devices that exist in the network, and then to create a virtual Network Element (VNE) for each discovered device to be managed with Prime Network. Use of the network discovery tool significantly speeds up the process of importing your devices into Prime Network so that they can be managed.
Network discovery is supported on the following device operating systems: IOS, IOS-XR, IOS-XE, NX-OS, CATOS, JUNOS.
The Network Discovery workflow is as follows:
Step 1
Access the Network Discovery tool, as follows:
Choose Tools > Network Discovery in Cisco Prime Network Administration.
or
Enter the following URL in your web browser:
https://gateway IP address:8043/prime-network-web/index.html#pageId=discovery_settings_page
Step 2
Create a discovery profile. The profile includes all the discovery settings that will determine how the system locates, identifies, and communicates with the devices in the network. To do this, click New in the Discovery Profiles page. Your discovery profile is saved with a unique name so that it can be reused at a later stage. See Discovery Profiles for details.
Step 3
Start the network discovery by selecting the discovery profile and clicking Run.
Step 4
View the results of the network discovery, which indicate which devices were discovered and whether or not further credential information is required before creating VNEs. To do this, choose Network Discovery > Discovery Results. See Network Discovery Results for details.
Step 5
Select the devices you want to manage with Prime Network and create VNEs for these devices.
Step 6
Monitor the status of the VNE creation in the Discovery Results tab or in Prime Network Administration.
Discovery Profiles
Before starting the network discovery process, you need to provide information that will allow the system to locate and discover the devices in your network and then to create a VNE for each discovered device. Your discovery settings are saved in a discovery profile. This discovery profile can be reused at a later stage so that you do not need to define new settings each time you perform network discovery.
When creating a disovery profile, you first specify the technique(s) to be used to discover the network. The most common discovery technique is Ping Sweep, which pings all the IP addresses in a specified subnet. You can choose a different discovery technique based on protocol data, depending on the protocols used in your network.
After specifying the discovery technique(s), you provide information that is required to create VNEs for the discovered devices, including the credentials that will be needed to connect to the devices, and the method the system should use to identify the management IP address.
Lastly, you have the option to define filters to include/exclude specific devices from the network discovery results. For example, you might have a subset of devices in the specified subnet that you do not want to manage, so you could filter these out of the results.
Table 3 lists the parameters to be defined before initiating the discovery process.
Network Discovery Results
The Network Discovery Results tab enables you to view the status and the results of the network discovery process. The table in the upper half of the Discovery Results tab lists all the network discovery jobs and provides summary information for each one. Select a network discovery job in the table to display full details of the network discovery results in the lower half of the page.
If a device is discovered in the network and deemed reachable, a VNE can be created for that device so that it can be managed in Prime Network. If a device has credential errors, you can change the credentials and run the discovery again. Alternatively, you can create that VNE manually in Prime Network Administration.
After VNEs are created for the discovered devices, the system automatically assigns them to AVMs.
Discovery Jobs
Each time network discovery is initiated, a job is created. The Network Discovery Results table lists the discovery jobs and provides information and status for each one, as described in Table 4.
Note
To see the latest status, please click the Refresh button to refresh the display.

–
Queued—VNE has been created but has not yet been assigned to an AVM. These VNEs are listed in Prime Network Administration in the Queued VNEs tab under All Servers.
–
Naming Conflict—A VNE with the same name already exists in the system.
–
IP Conflict—A VNE with the same IP address already exists in the system.
–
Assigned—The VNE has been created and assigned to an AVM.
•
Credential Errors—Lists the devices detected in the network for which additional credential information is required before VNEs can be created.
•
Filtered—Lists the devices that were filtered out of the discovery results.
Find Mode vs. Automatic Data Retrieval in Prime Network Events
When Prime Network Events is opened, or when you switch between tabs in the application, the database is automatically queried to retrieve and display events. Depending on the volume of events, this can take some time. If you want to find specific events and you are not interested in browsing all the available events, you can set Prime Network Events to operate in Find mode. In this mode, no events will be retrieved from the database when you open the application or switch between tabs, and you can click the Find button in the toolbar to search for the events you need.
To enable and use Find mode:
Step 1
In Prime Network Events, select Tools > Options.
Step 2
Check the Find mode check box and click OK.
The window will be cleared of events. The following text will appear under the events table: "Find mode (No automatic data retrieval)."
Step 3
Click the Find button in the toolbar and define a query to display specific events.
Change and Configuration Management Additional Device Support
Change and Configuration Management provides support for the Cisco ASR 5000 series, Cisco ASR 901, and Cisco ASR 903 routers in Prime Network 3.8.1. The following topics describe the support information in detail:
•
Cisco ASR 5000 Series Device Support

•
The two types of configuration files for Cisco ASR 5000 series devices are: the running (current operating) configuration and the boot configuration. For a boot configuration file, the version of the archived configuration is always displayed as `1' in the Archived Configurations page.
•
The following processes are not applicable for the boot configuration files of Cisco ASR 5000 series devices:
–
Restoring a configuration from the archive to the device
–
Synchronization of out-of-sync devices
•
The Device Properties window displays a priority list for the Cisco ASR 5000 series devices. The priority list displays various combinations of a configuration file and an image file in priority order for the device. This information is retrieved from the device configuration.
•
Whenever a boot configuration file is backed up to the archive, Prime Network always overwrites the existing boot configuration in the archive.
•
Prime Network allows restoring of running configuration only in `merge' mode, by which if the running configuration version you selected is different from the existing running configuration on the device, then the existing running configuration will be merged with the configuration present in the version you selected from the archive.
•
You can view the latest changes to the device configuration using the Configuration Change Logs page. However, Prime Network does not display the following information for Cisco ASR 5000 series devices:
–
Changed—Date and time when a change was made to the device.
–
User—Name of the user who made the change.
•
In the Image Repository page, Prime Network displays only the Family and Size fields for Cisco ASR 5000 series devices. All other fields are displayed as UNKNOWN or N/A.
•
For Cisco ASR 5000 series devices, you can activate a boot configuration file on the device in addition to an image. However, if a device is activated with a new configuration, which does not have the correct user credentials, a timeout error occurs during activation.
•
In the activation workflow (by Images or Devices) and in the distribution and activation workflow (by Images or Devices), after selecting the device and required image(s), you must enter the boot configuration file in the Enter Boot Config page. The boot configuration value should always be passed as flash:/asr.cfg.
•
For Cisco ASR 5000 series devices, Change and Configuration Management supports FTP mode for all configuration and image transfers. FTP username and password configuration in the device should be same as the device management username and password.
•
The following features or functions are NOT supported for Cisco ASR 5000 series devices:
