Cisco LMS 4.1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 R2, Databases not created

Hi There,

As always, I am trying to install LMS 4.1 on windows server 2008 R2 and after the installation and login to the LMS I find the following:

DCRServer is down or may not be completely up. Check if the DCRServer process is running.

And after some troubleshooting I found that the LMS is not creating the CMF database and the other databases. Attached is the installation log file, if someone could help me with it would be appreciated. Please note the following:

1. I have downloaded the installation file from Cisco website twice, so I do not think it is the file that is corrupted, also it is only evaluation license.

2. I have met all the prerequisites and requirement as in the documentation guides, but maybe there is something still wrong.

Thanks,

I have had no problem with Win2k8 R2 in the past and I would still recommend this as the platform to go if you want windows.

With every new release of LMS Cisco drops support for the oldes OS they did support in the last release, so I recommend to go with the latest. If you follow this you have the longest possible support without the need to care about the OS.

In CSCset.txt.zip I see some strange variables pointing all to "TDMGVLMS01:9002" instead of having a file path:

CWMIBDIR=TDMGVLMS01:9002

LM_LICENSE_FILE=TDMGVLMS01:9002

SM_HOME=TDMGVLMS01:9002

SM_RULESET_PATH=TDMGVLMS01:9002

SM_SITEMOD=TDMGVLMS01:9002

As I said before, the PATH variable is also an issue and I assume it is the cause for all your problems; You mentioned to have a PATH entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ENVIRNOMENT beside TEMP and TMP. This is unusual, as users typically do not have their own PATH var on a new system.

Go to Start > Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings (or just open SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe )

open "Environment Variable" and have a look in the upper part of the window if there is an entry called "Path" or "PATH".

If yes, highlight it, click on "Edit" an just copy the whole string in "variavle value". Paste it to a text file for backup purpse; Then, close the box, and delete this variable for the user;

Go down to the "System variables", scroll down to "Path" and see if it is also clutterd; If not, you are ready, otherwise save it like you did before with the user variable; replace it with the one you recreated in this thread before:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wbem;C:\Windows\SysWOW64;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;

Save everything. Remove LMS again, reboot the Server, check the path variables (there should be none for the user, and a "good" one for the system);

issue again the "set" command, and verify that the above mentioned variables are not set; if that is ok you are ready to give it a new try and install LMS...

your installation is totally corrupted. Save this file to anther directory than NMSROOT on the server

    NMSROOT\bin\clean_system.exe

(with NMSROOT beining your installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\CSCOpx)

Try to uninstll LMS. Check the directory and the services (services.msc) to see if it was successfull, if not run clean_system.exe to completely remove any parts of LMS.

Now read this document carefully:

https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-9132

and follow all the instructions made there. (In your case with the unsuccessfull installation I assume it was the problem with the TMP directory still pointing to "C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp").

The default installation directory for LMS on win2k8 R2 will point to "C:\Program Files (x86)\CSCOpx". I always change this because brakets are not allowed in the path.... Usually I create a new directory e.g. C:\Program_Apps\ and let the installation path point to C:\Program_Apps\CSCOpx.

Now, try to reinstall LMS.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for replying, I have uninstalled the LMS as you told me and reinstalled it as in the document but it did not work, still same thing, what I did exactly before installation is:

1. I have cut and paste the clean_system.exe under NMSROOT\bin\ to C:\ then I uninstalled the LMS.

2. After that I have ran the C:\clean_system.exe.

3. In regedit I have changed the TEMP and TMP registries value to point to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP; this is under HKEY_CURRENT_USER (and these are the only values that I have changed).

4. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/ I have deleted the registry folder Cisco from the previous installation.

5. I have deleted the causer created from the previous installation.

6. I restarted the server.

7. I have created a folder called C:\Program_Apps and installed the LMS there.

Is there anything else that I have missed ?also please find attached the new installation log file

Thanks,

I still see one problem related to a missing perl module;

From what kind of installation media are you installing from?

P.S you created C:\Program_Apps like I usually do, but you didn't add the CSCOpx directory when the installation procedure asked for the install path. At this point you should enter something like C:\Program_Apps\CSCOpx.

Hi Martin,

I am installing from the evaluation media downloaded from Cisco website and I copied it to the server Desktop

Thanks,

Also Should I delete the CSCOpx folder remained from the previous installation ? and should I create CSCOpx folder under

C:\Program_Apps where I installed the LMS ? and I saw two registry values under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ENVIRNOMENT beside TEMP and TMP

1. (Default) (value not set)

2. PATH (C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows\system32\wbem;;C:\Windows\SysWOW64\\wbemCOpx\MDC\tomcat\bin~2\CSCOpx\lib\jre\bin\serverWOW64\\wbemCOpx\MDC\tomcat\bin~2\CSCOpx\lib\jre\bin\serverOOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\SysWOW64;C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wbem;)

Should I change these two to something else?

Thanks,

the PATH variable looks very strange and cluttered; this part is definitely wrong:

;C:\Windows\SysWOW64\\wbemCOpx\MDC\tomcat\bin~2\CSCOpx\lib\jre\bin\serverWOW64\\wbemCOpx\MDC\tomcat\bin~2\CSCOpx\lib\jre\bin\serverOOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

and it seems that it was manipulated by somebody or something; Try to recreate it from another server (I currently have no access to a server to give you an example) than you have to re-do the whole procedure...

before doing all again, check the md5 sum of the installation file on the server it might be that it gets corrupted while copying it from one server to the other, but I believe your main problem is your cluttered PATH variable.

Hi Martin,

I have changed the PATH value to:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wbem;C:\Windows\SysWOW64;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;

and then I reinstalled the LMS, it did not work and the PATH value have changed again to something else:

C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows\system32\wbem;;C:\Windows\SysWOW64\\wbem:\PROGRA~4\MDC\Apache:\PROGRA~4\objects\db\win32W64\\wbemCOpx\MDC\tomcat\bin~2\CSCOpx\lib\jre\bin\serverWOW64\\wbemCOpx\MDC\tomcat\bin~2\CSCOpx\lib\jre\bin\serverOOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\SysWOW64;C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wbem;

what Should I do now and how can I verify the MD5 sum ?

Thanks,

this indeed looks very strange; beside the hackly path variable, there are parts from paths missing ...

is this any special server or a virtual server? is there any other software installed?

according to the CCO download page the MD5 checksum for the file should be:

    Release     4.1

    Filename     lms-4.1-Win-eval.zip

    Release Date     08/Aug/2011

    Description     LMS 4.1 Evaluation Software for Windows

    Size     1939057.4599609375 KB (1985594839 bytes)

    Router Checksum     0xc314

    MD5     4a79102162c89a7185acf4ceb7ad9dd7

you can check this with freeware tools like MD5Tool which you can get here:

http://www.heise.de/software/download/md5_tool/55965

remove LMS again, reboot the server, login as the user with which you want to do the installation and post the output of the following DOS commands:

    systeminfo > C:\CSCsysteminfo.txt

    set > C:\CSCset.txt

    netstat -nabo > C:\CSCnetstat-nabo.txt

    wmic product > C:\CSCwmic_product.txt

upload the four files to the thread

Hi Martin,

This is a virtual server and nothing is installed on it, do you suggets a particular OS (more stable) other than the windows server 2008 R2 x64bit to install the LMS on it? also please find attached the outputs that you asked for.

Thanks,

I have had no problem with Win2k8 R2 in the past and I would still recommend this as the platform to go if you want windows.

Hi Martin,

Thanks, I will try this on monday and then I will update you.
