New Features
QPM 4.1 contains the following new features and enhancements:
•Integrated with CiscoWorks Common Services 3.2.
•New User Interface based on CUES (Cisco User Experience Standards).
•Customization of QPM Dashboard—You can customize the Dashboard page in QPM by adding the available portlets and changing the layout of the content area of the portlets.
•Availability of QPM view in LMS Portal—If you have installed LMS Portal with Common Services 3.2, a separate view for QPM is available in LMS Portal. You can also create new views for specific features in QPM.
•Availability of Cisco TelePresence compatible policy—You can configure thresholds for circuit utilization and class utilization for the Cisco TelePresence compatible policy.
You can receive notifications as SNMP trap or email, for the threshold violations. This helps you to optimize the traffic in the TelePresence circuit.
•Support for NBAR PD monitoring—NBAR PD (Protocol Discovery) monitoring helps you to separately monitor the protocols in the inbound and outbound traffic through device interfaces. This helps you to understand the protocol traffic before you deploy QoS policies on devices.
•Support for Port-QoS monitoring—QPM uses the Cisco Port QoS MIB to provide monitoring capabilities for each port. Both Real Time charts and Historical Monitoring charts are displayed to provide the QoS statistical information for each port.
•SNMP v3 support—QPM allows you to discover the device using SNMP v3 credentials, if they are available on the device.
•Command Service Library support—QPM supports Command Service Library (CmdSvc) to enable you to select the login protocol from among SSHv2, SSHv1, and Telnet, while re-discovering devices.
•Support for secondary DCR credentials such as, Secondary Username, Secondary Password, Secondary Enable Password. This helps you to discover devices even if the primary credentials fail.
•Support for ATM PVC Monitoring—QPM 4.1 supports Real Time and Historical monitoring of ATM multipoint sub-interfaces with VCs and PVCs. You can select VCs and PVC bundles configured on the interface for monitoring.
•Support for monitoring Child policies—You can monitor the interfaces based on the Child policy available under a Parent policy deployed on the interfaces.
•Support for VMware ESX Server 3.0.2 and 3.5.0.
•Support for Microsoft Windows Vista client.
•Support for Solaris 10 OS.
•Support for NCM Event Notification—You can integrate QPM with NCM to receive event notification in QPM for Device Configuration Change and Image Upgrade. The event notifications from NCM to QPM help you synchronize the device level changes with QPM.
•Support for Integrating CUOM with QPM—You can use CUOM with QPM to exchange QoS-related metric data from routers, gateways, and IP phones.
See the complete list of supported devices and QoS features for QPM 4.1 under the following URL:

QPM and CiscoWorks Common Services
CiscoWorks Qos Policy Manager (QPM) 4.1 runs on the CiscoWorks Common Services (CS) 3.2 server. This server provides the infrastructure required by QPM to run from the CiscoWorks desktop environment.
Common Services also allows you to manage user roles and privileges. In this way, you can control access to specific tasks in QPM.
QPM 4.1 is packaged as a single DVD, which contains the following:
•Installation files for CiscoWorks Common Services 3.2
•Installation files for CiscoWorks QoS Policy Manager 4.1
•Documentation for Common Services 3.2 and QPM 4.1.
Product Documentation
Note We sometimes update the printed and electronic documentation after original publication. Therefore, you should also review the documentation on Cisco.com for any updates
Table 1 describes the product documentation that is available.
Related Documentation
Note We sometimes update the printed and electronic documentation after original publication. Therefore, you should also review the documentation on Cisco.com for any updates
Table 2 describes the related documentation that is available.
Note The procedure to install CiscoWorks Common Services 3.1 and 3.2 is the same. The Installation Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services 3.2 points to the Installing and Getting Started With CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution 3.1.
Documentation Updates
This section provides some additional information, which you can use as updates to the existing QPM 4.1 documentation.
•Upgrading from QPM 4.0
•Co-existence with LMS 3.1
•Server and Client Requirements
Upgrading from QPM 4.0
The process of upgrading QPM 4.0 to QPM 4.1 is explained in the Installation Guide for CiscoWorks QoS Policy Manager 4.1 on Solaris, available at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/cscowork/ps2064/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
Please refer to it before you upgrade from QPM 4.0 to QPM 4.1.
Co-existence with LMS 3.1
QPM 4.1 should be the last application to be installed, if you are planning to install LMS 3.1 and QPM 4.1 on the same server. QPM 4.1 can co-exist with other LMS applications only if it is installed in this manner.
Server and Client Requirements
We have updated the server and client requirements for QPM 4.1 in the Installation Guides and the Quick Start Guide for QPM 4.1, available at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/cscowork/ps2064/
prod_installation_guides_list.html.
Please refer to it before you proceed with the installation of Common Services 3.2 and QPM 4.1.
