Chapter 2. System Requirements

This chapter lists the tested and supported hardware and software specifications for Cisco Prime Data Center Network Management (DCNM) server and client architecture. The application has been tested in English locales only.

- Deployment Best Practices

- Installation Notes

Deployment Best Practices

Keep the following guidelines in mind when deploying Cisco Prime DCNM:

- Database

- Deploy an Oracle database on a separate server from the Cisco DCNM application server.

- Deploy an Oracle database when managing production or mission-critical environments.

- If you plan to use an Oracle 11g or Oracle 12c database, configure the Oracle database as follows:

- Increase the number of sessions and processes to 150 each from the default of 50.

- Increase the number of open cursors to 1000 from the default of 300.

- We recommend that you deploy Oracle11g or Oracle 12c for mission-critical production environments.

Note

The password for the database expires after 180 days.

You must change the default setting by performing the following steps:

1. Log in to the Oracle database.

2. Enter the commands, as shown in this example:

SQL> GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE,UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO username IDENTIFIED by password;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> select username,password from dba_users where username=’username’;
SQL> ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT
2 FAILED_LOG_ATTEMPTS UNLIMITED
3 PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;
Profile altered.
SQL> EXIT

- Network Time Protocol

- We recommend that the Cisco Prime DCNM server run the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize its clock with those of the managed devices.

- General Guidelines

- Do not deploy Cisco Prime DCNM when network latency is more then 50 ms from the switch management subnet to the Cisco Prime DCNM server and Cisco Prime DCNM database.

- Deploy Cisco Prime DCNM on high-performance tier storage (2 to 4 ms response time).

- Create users with the same password digest and encryption algorithm in the device (for example, Digest, MD5) and encryption algorithm (for example, DES). Cisco Prime DCNM will not authenticate the devices with different digest and encryption passwords.

- Deploy Cisco Prime DCNM-SAN in a federation configuration when either of the following conditions is met:

- The switch count exceeds 150 switches

- The port count exceeds 15,000 connected ports for every management server

- Windows Operating System

- During the initial installation, disable all security and antivirus tools that are running on your Windows servers.

- Do not run any other management applications on the Cisco Prime DCNM server or the Cisco Prime DCNM database server.

- Virtual Machines

- When Cisco Prime DCNM is deployed as a virtual machine, do not share CPU and memory resources with other virtual machines on the virtual host, and the data store with other virtual machines.

- CPU and memory resource must be reserved for virtual machines.

Chapter 3. New Features and Enhancements

Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DNCM), Release 7.1.x includes the new features, enhancements, and hardware support that are described in the following sections:

- New Features and Enhancements in Cisco Prime DCNM, Release 7.1(2)

- New Features and Enhancements in Cisco Prime DCNM, Release 7.1(1)

New Features and Enhancements in Cisco Prime DCNM, Release 7.1(2)

Cisco Prime DCNM, Release 7.1(2), includes the new features, enhancements, and hardware support that are described in the following section:

Selective High Availability

From Cisco Prime DCNM, Release 7.1(2), the Cisco Prime DCNM appliances (OVA and ISO) allow you to selectively enable failover for certain applications rather than forcefully applying it for all applications. You can selectively enable high availability (HA) for auto configuration, which is a crucial feature in most deployments. Since HA is not enabled for all the applications, external database users or a Network File System (NFS) repository is not required, thus reducing dependencies in a production environment.

New Features and Enhancements in Cisco Prime DCNM, Release 7.1(1)

Cisco Prime DNCM, Release 7.1(1), includes the new features, enhancements, and hardware support that are described in the following section:

Border Leaf or Edge Router Auto Configuration

This feature streamlines the border leaf or edge router auto configuration. The auto configuration automatically selects border leaf or edge router based on device pairing, load sharing algorithm, and redundancy factor. The border leaf or edge router is notified after the pair is chosen and the partition extension configuration is available in the network database. The Power On Auto Provisioning (POAP) templates and network profiles can be added. Border leaf or edge router auto configuration publishes the REST APIs' orchestrator and third-party application integration.

VxLAN Support for Cisco Nexus 5600 Series and Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches

Cisco Nexus 5600 Series and Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches (in standalone mode) can identify VxLAN topology by marking the VXLAN Tunnel End Point (VTEP) with a different icon. VxLAN support allows you to perform the following:

- Visualization of VxLAN topology. This is available for Cisco Nexus 5600 Series and Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches (in standalone mode). The VTEPs are marked with a different icon.

- Search the VTEP devices based on Visual Networking Index (VNI) or multicast address.

- Display VNI, multicast address, mapped VLAN and VNI status in tabular format for a given VNI or multicast address.

- Highlight mismatch in multicast address configuration for a given VNI.

- Display active peers of VTEP for a given VNI.

- Display all VNIs, multicast addresses, VNI statuses, and mapped VLANs of a particular VTEP in the switch inventory window.

Configuring Synchronization on POAP

If you use POAP to configure switches, this feature allows you to track the configuration changes made to the device after the initial POAP definition.

Multiple Orchestrators' Support

The Multiple Orchestrators' Support feature allows you to create a new Segment ID range from either the Cisco Prime DCNM Web Client or by using a REST API, and provides the orchestrator ID. Cisco Prime DCNM will associate the range with the specified orchestrator ID.

Auto-Configuration Deployment

This feature allows you to selectively push or clear configuration on the devices in a network.

Three Tier Topology

Cisco Prime DCNM supports three-tier topology visualization for the Fabric dashboard consisting of super spines, spines, and leaves.

Secure LDAP for Fabric

When you install DCNM ISO or OVA, the DCNM-secure LDAP is configured during installation. By default, this supports LDAP (port 389), StartTLS (port 389), and LDAPS (port 636). A self-signed CA certificate and server certificate are generated with the Cisco Prime DCNM server name as CN (common name). No additional action is required to enable secure LDAP.

Multiple Mobility Domains with VLAN Translation

In the VLAN translation feature, upon ingress on a port, a user frame that is tagged with an original VLAN (also called from VLAN), will be mapped into a translated VLAN (also called to VLAN). The subsequent functionalities, such as MAC learning and MAC lookup, will be performed on the translated VLAN. On the other hand, a frame that is switched on the translated VLAN will be mapped to the original VLAN before egressing in a port. VLAN translation is carried out on the per-port basis. When multiple mobility domains are supported on a leaf switch, in addition to the leaf device-wide mobility domain, port-level mobility domains are introduced. Each port can be configured with a mobility domain that is different from the device-wide mobility domain.

Cisco Prime DCNM ISO Packaging

The Cisco Prime DCNM ISO virtual appliance has an operating system (CentOS 6.3) with Cisco Prime DCNM. It also provides an option to install additional packages to manage scalable fabrics, including Cisco DFA on demand.

Advanced Feature Trial License

The Advanced Feature Trial License exists on the server after the initial installation, and displays a filename and PID text (30DayTrialLicense). This provides 500 SAN and 500 advanced feature licenses without users having to download or install a single file. This license will work for any licensable switch, and expires after 30 days.

Configuring Archive Enhancement

This enhancement allows you to display a preview, show configuration differences, and add bookmarks for configuration differences.

Slow Drain

Cisco Prime DCNM provides online slow-drain diagnostics, and displays the list of devices with potential slow-drain issues. The significance of the Slow Drain feature is as follows:

- Automates troubleshooting—Troubleshooting that might have taken hours or days can be reduced to minutes.

- Automates collection or polling—On-demand collection of Slow Drain-related counters is available across Cisco Nexus and Cisco MDS fibre channel fabrics. The entire switch fabric data can be collected.

- Reduces false positives—Slow Drain diagnostics fetches a list of host, storage, and switch ports, prioritized by slow drain severity by checking the rate of change in the counters.

- Provides visual representation—Statistics can be displayed in the bar chart format, showing fluctuations in counters over the polling interval.

- Provides customization—Provides symptom priority fields that can be sorted to find specific devices.

EMC Enhancement

Cisco Prime DCNM enhances EMC call-home messages and adds version-specific information in a call-home message body.

Storage VDC for FCoE on Cisco Nexus 7706

Cisco Prime DCNM now supports Storage VDC on Cisco Nexus 7706 equipment. The Cisco Nexus 7706 FCoE support allows Cisco Prime DCNM to discover Cisco Nexus 7706 Storage VDC as seed for SAN management. Cisco Nexus 7706 Storage VDC is managed as a fabric switch. After you install and enable the FCoE feature set, all the SAN management features are available from Cisco Prime DCNM for Cisco Nexus 7706.

Orphan LUN

Cisco Prime DCNM supports reporting a list of LUNs that are configured in the storage system, but not assigned any ports. After initial storage discovery, choose Report Feature > Orphan LUN to view the report. You can generate ad hoc reports or schedule the generation of a recursive report at a specified time. The report can be exported as .html, .xls, or email formats for further analysis.

Storage System Capacity Trend

Cisco Prime DCNM allows you to generate the storage system capacity trend and the storage pool level capacity trend. You can view the capacity trend for storage system on the web client after the system collects data for more than two days.

Chapter 6. Caveats

Caveats describe unexpected behavior in a product. The Open Caveats section lists open caveats that apply to the current release and may apply to previous releases. A caveat that is open for a prior release and is still unresolved applies to all future releases until it is resolved.

To view the details of the software bugs pertaining to your product, perform the following task:

- Click the Caveat ID/Bug ID number in the table.

The corresponding Bug Search Tool page is displayed with details of the Caveat ID/Bug ID.

The Bug Search Tool (BST), which is the online successor to the Bug Toolkit, is designed to improve the effectiveness in network risk management and device troubleshooting. The BST allows partners and customers to search for software bugs based on product, release, and keyword, and aggregates key data, such as bug details, product, and version. The tool has a provision to filter bugs based on credentials to provide external and internal bug views for the search input.

To view the details of a caveat whose ID you do not have, perform the following procedure:

1. Access the BST using your Cisco user ID and password at:

2. In the Bug Search window that is displayed, enter the necessary information in the corresponding fields.

For more information about how to use the Cisco Bug Search Tool effectively, including how to set email alerts for bugs and to save bugs and searches, see the Bug Search Tool Help & FAQ page Bug Search Tool Help & FAQ.
