Cisco Prime Network 4.1 Release Notes
OL-31014-01
New Features and Enhancements
Administration
The following new features and enhancements are described in the Cisco Prime Network 4.1
Administrator Guide.
• Ability to disable ticket management operations in the Vision and Events clients. When these
operations are disabled, users can only manage the ticket lifecycle through BQL or the external OSS.
• Ability to change the minimum user role required to use the Administration client. The change can
be made using the CLI runRegTool.sh command and requires a gateway restart.
• Ability to control whether standard events are displayed in a map's Latest Events tab (in the Vision
client). Standard events are syslogs and traps that are not recognized by the Prime Network Event
Collector and only basic parsing is performed on them. The setting is in Global Settings>Event
Management Settings> Standard Events (Display Standard Events in Latest Events Tab in Vision
check box). If this setting is changed, active Vision clients must be restarted for the changes to take
effect.
• VNE restart is no longer required if its credentials are changed in the VNE properties dialog box.
Prime Network will detect these changes and reconnect with the device to validate the new
credentials.
• Enhanced gateway memory calculations and display available in the gateway properties dialog.
• The default allocated memory for user-created AVMs is now 1500MB instead of 256MB. In addition
to the 1500 MB allocated memory, Prime Network configures user-created AVMs with an additional
400 MB for backend operating system tasks, for a total assigned memory of 1900 MB.
• Users can customize an AVM's allocated memory by adjusting it in the AVM's property dialog box.
If the allocated memory is changed, the AVM must be stopped and restarted for the changes to take
effect.
• Units—The titles for the following fields have changed:
– Total Potential Memory of Running AVMs (formerly "Total Memory Assigned Up AVMs")—If
all running AVMs used all of their assigned memory, this is the amount of physical memory that
would be required. This includes both user-created and reserved AVMs.
– Total Potential Memory of All AVMs (formerly "Total Memory Assigned All AVMs")—If all
AVMs used all of their assigned memory, this is the amount of physical memory that would be
required. This includes both user-created and reserved AVMs.
• New AVM 45 for gateway high availability for the Operations Reports Infobright database. This
AVM synchronizes information between the local and remote Infobright databases.
