Quick Start Guide for Cisco Prime LANManagement Solution 4 on a Windows System
About This Quick Start Guide
This document provides step-by-step instructions for installing and deploying the Cisco Prime
LAN Management
Solution (LMS) 4 Evaluation license on a Windows system to permit the use of the EZ Deploy templates for Cisco
Catalyst
2000 Series and Catalyst 3000 Series Switches. Cisco Prime LMS 4 along with the EZ Deploy templates
helps make the deployment of Cisco devices easier and more error proof, substantially reducing the time it takes to
get the devices operational.
This document is divided into two primary sections,InstallationandDeployment - Device Management. While this
document stands alone, if you are installing a Solaris version of the LMS 4 evaluation software or would like to
refer to the Installing and Migrating to Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4 technical document, it can be
found atCisco.com.
The instructions in this Quick Start Guide apply to LMS 4.2.
Installation
The following are the steps to install Cisco Prime LMS 4 on a Windows operating system:
Checklist for installation:
Make sure that your system meets the requirements for LMS 4 (refer to Appendix A). LMS installation will
fail if the available swap and disk space do not meet the recommended requirements.
Close all applications before installing LMS.
By default, SSL is not enabled for the LMS server.
Disable any popup blockers on the client machine before launching the LMS 4 application.
If Terminal Server in Application mode is enabled, disable the Terminal Server, reboot the system, and start
the installation again. SeeTerminal Server Support for Windows Server section in the Installing and
Migrating to Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.1 technical document.
If Internet Information Services (IIS) is detected on your system and if you have continued the installation
with IIS services, port number 443 cannot be used for HTTPS. Instead, use port numbers ranging from
1026 to 65535 for HTTPS to avoid this conflict.
Disable Windows Defender on servers running Windows 2008 and reboot the system before installing
LMS 4. The installer will not copy the database to the appropriate location if Windows Defender is not
disabled.
Check the Primary and Active regional settings before installation. They must be set as either US English or
Japanese. Other options are not supported by LMS 4. The Active regional settings can be set in Control
Panel Regional and Language Options Regional Options. Restart your system after installing LMS 4 to avoid any system instability on a Windows operating system.
