Cisco Prime Infrastructure: Bug ID CSCud39395 Logins not Processed

A couple weeks ago I ran into an issue with Prime Infrastructure 1.2 where it was not responding to a login request.  It just sat there working on the login request but would never respond with a success or failure.

After stopping the NCS software, it would not start again.  I was presented with a failure and told to check the launchout.log

So I performed the Backup-logs and untar'd the file.  Here is what I was receiving in the file.

How to remove backup repositories in NCS

Ran into this during an NCS install today, and just wanted to pass along the request.  The request was to delete backup repositories, both from testing and from the original WCS to NCS migration.

The basic structure follows this:

configure
no repository <repository name>

This is case sensitive

Example:

test-NCS/testadmin# conf
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
test-NCS/testadmin(config)# no repository wcs-ftp-repo
test-NCS/testadmin(config)# exit
test-NCS/testadmin#

While this is not in the configuration guide, Cisco did do a good job of making an intuitive CLI for the linux appliance.
