How to Discover CiscoWorks LMS

  1. Prerequisites - Set up protocol credentials

    Add credentials for the Sybase database instances used by CiscoWorks LMS (RMENGDB and ANIDB) to the Generic DB (SQL) protocol.

    For credential information, see Supported Protocols.

  2. Run the discovery

    1. Discover IP addresses of the Sybase databases RMENGDB and ANIDB used by CiscoWorks LMS.

    2. Run the CiscoWorks LMS Database Ports job to discover the TCP ports at which the Sybase databases used by CiscoWorks LMS are listening.

    3. Create a new integration point, and use the CiscoWorks NetDevices adapter to discover network device information from CiscoWorks.

    4. Create a new integration point, and use the CiscoWorks Layer 2 adapter to discover node (server) information from CiscoWorks.

      Steps 2a and 2b are optional (although highly recommended - see note below) since CiscoWorks adapters are available in the Integration Studio, allowing manual creation of the necessary IpAddress, Node and IpServiceEndpoint CIs.

    Note The CiscoWorks Layer 2 job requires additional data about CIs created by the CiscoWorks NetDevices adapter and already in UCMDB. This information is provided by the Input Query, which contains CI types (NetDevice and PhysicalPort) that provide this data in addition to CI types required to identify the integration target (IpServiceEndpoint).

    For this reason, it is highly recommended to execute steps 2a and 2b. If steps 2a and 2b are not executed, creating the integration target CIs (while creating an integration point using the CiscoWorks Layer 2 adapter) requires the creation of Node and PhysicalPort CIs.
