CiscoWorks 3.2 LMS Server

dbarboza27 · ‎08-24-2010

Hello,

I have a question about CWLMS 3.2 Server requirements. My actual scenario is:

- I need to add around 2000 devices

- License will be CWLMS + HUM

Installation guide says the following:

Standalone server explained in these tables denotes the server that has the following applications installed:

• Common Services

• CiscoWorks Assistant

• CiscoWorks LMS Portal

• One of the following applications: RME, IPM, DFM or Campus

Solution server explained in these tables denotes the server where all the CiscoWorks LMS applications are installed. However to manage LMS 5000 or LMS 10,000 components of CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 Solution, you must set up more than one Solution servers.

Based on this, I understand that I will need 2 servers, so it will increase hardware requirements.

Could you clarify if I will need 2 servers or if there is any way to installed in just one server.

Thanks,

Hi,

We do not need 2 servers we need license for 2000 devices and the server would need the follwoing hardware :

Table 2-4 Recommended Server Hardware Requirements on Windows Systems without HUM
Component	Recommended Server System Requirement
LMS 100	1 CPU with 2 GB RAM memory requirement with a swap space of 4 GB.
LMS 300	1 CPU with 2 GB RAM memory requirement with a swap space of 4 GB.
LMS 1,500	2 CPUs with 4 GB RAM memory requirement with a swap space of 8 GB.
LMS 5,000 •Standalone server: –DFM, IPM, RME and Campus will support up to 5,000 devices on a Standalone environment. •Solution server: –Maximum of 5,000 devices in each application except HUM can be managed on a single server. To manage 5,000 devices for all applications including HUM, you must setup: –HUM on a Standalone server (with CS+ Portal + CiscoWorks Assistant +HUM installed), which manages 1000 devices –All other CiscoWorks applications on another server	•Standalone server: –2 CPUs with 4 GB RAM memory requirement and 8 GB swap space. •Solution server: –4 CPUs with 8 GB RAM memory requirement and 16 GB swap space.
LMS 10,000 •Standalone server: –RME will support up to 10,000 devices on a Standalone environment (CS+ Portal + CiscoWorks Assistant + RME). –DFM, IPM and Campus will support up to 5,000 devices on a Standalone environment. More than one server must be used to manage up to 10,000 devices. •Solution server: –Maximum of 5,000 devices support in each application except HUM can be managed on a single server. More than one server must be used to manage up to 10,000 devices. To manage 10,000 devices for all applications including HUM, you must setup: –HUM on a Standalone server (with CS+ Portal + CiscoWorks Assistant +HUM installed), which manages 1000 devices –All other CiscoWorks applications on more than one server	•Standalone server: –2 CPUs with 4 GB RAM memory requirement and 8 GB swap space. •Solution server: –4 CPUs with 8 GB RAM memory requirement and 16 GB swap space.

Table 2-5 lists the server requirements for installing the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution 3.2 components on Windows systems with HUM.

Table 2-5 Recommended Server Hardware Requirements on Windows Systems with HUM
Component	Recommended Server System Requirement
LMS Bundle Hardware Configuration
HUM 50 + LMS 300	One CPU with 2 GB RAM memory and 4 GB swap space.
HUM 300 + LMS 1500	2 CPUs with 4 GB RAM memory and 8 GB swap space.
Standalone Hardware Configuration
HUM 50	One CPU with 2 GB RAM memory and 4 GB swap space.
HUM 300	One CPU with 2 GB RAM memory and 4 GB swap space.
HUM 1000	Two CPUs with 4 GB RAM memory and 8 GB swap space.

Thanks,

Regarding license, there is not a license for 2000 devices, so I have to buy the LMS5000 license.

Can I buy 2 LMS 1500 license, in order to install one and then add the other.

Thanks,

Based on some info that I had found on cisco, it seems like it is possible to run CWLMS 3.2 with 5000 devices in just one server. After this, I will have to assign a HUM license to each device.

There is a HUM licence for 3000 devices, do my new question is, It is possible to runn CWLMS 3.2 5000 devices + HUM 3000 devices in the same server?

Thanks,
