Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Upgrade from 1.3.0.20
Hi,
We have a full fledged CPI 1.3.0.20 running with about 150-200 buildings worth of wireless data. We need to upgrade it to 2.1 version to make use of the 702W APs WPPs. The upgrade is failing in a boot loop again and again no matter what we do. We have setup CPI as a vm on vmware esxi 5.1. See the brief below of what we have tried:
Option 1: Inline upgrade: installed the patch on 1.3.0.20 (required for upgrade to 2.1), then download and install 2.1 upgrade file on it, and after it finishes the installation and goes for reboot, it starts boot loop.
Option 2: Migration option, Create a vm ova template on the esxi host for the 2.1 install from scratch. but here also, when its reboots after the final installtion, it ends up with the same boot loop. Has someone experienced this before, or atleast something you might want to share regarding this would be great.
Thanks
Lovleen
Well, although it failed in the test/dev environment, but we successfully upgraded in the production environment, as we tried it in parallel with the running CPI, and only tuned it off, once we were happy with the 2.1 system
So, what we did, deploy 2.1 ova standard version, and use thin provisioning, and it installed ok, although it took about 20-30 minutes after the installing ncs stage and it looked it was in boot loop, but i left it for some time, and it was all fine after about 30 minutes at that stage, I think it boots it self up few time to install some services etc.
Then I ran a backup on the original CPI 1.3 after installing the patch file (required for restore to a 2.1 system), aand used that backup to restore onto the new CPI2.1 system.
I followed exactly as it was in the Cisco 2.1 documentation.. I suspect the vmware infrastructure in our test/dev might be the reason (as the available resources were just enough for the ova system requirements). for the first time boot loop issue that we had, and we had also used thick provisioning that time..
Can you try a thin provisioning install and then see if you have any luck.
Give it enough time when you see it is boot loop, it might be more time based on your network infrastructure.
The above process in this comment, I have double verified it 2 times, and both times was like smooth as.
Good Luck. Let me know how you go on.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure - Assurance. Upgrade from 1.2 to 2.0
Hi,
We had purchased Prime Infrastructure 1.2 with SAU smartnet. Before we deployed 1.2 now I see 2.0 version is out and we qualify for upgrade license. However when I login to CCO to download the OVA file, I see 3 different editions. Express, Pro and Standard. Which one do I qualify to install? I have purchased following part numbers with 1.2 version.
R-PI12-K9 - Qty 1
L-PI12-LF-100-LIC - Qty 1
L-PILMS42-100 - Qty 1
L-PI12-LF-100 - Qty 1
Thanks in advance,
SamHi,
Check the below link for difference between [ Express, Pro and Standard ]
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2.0/quickstart/guide/cpi_qsg.html#wp46865
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2.0/quickstart/guide/cpi_qsg.html#wp75315
L-PI12-LF-100-LIC and
L-PI12-LF-100 :: Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Lifecycle - 100 Device Lic PAK
are same as per my understanding and you can use these license to installed PI 2.0 with device count of 100.
Note: you can also add additional licenses(feature license ) for more Lifecycle (via R-PI12-K9 skus), which can be used for both Prime Infrastructure and LMS.

WCS and LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 Upgrade
Hello,
Our customer is currently having WCS for 500 devices and LMS 3.2 for 1500 devices. We are planning to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3.
I want to check is the upgrade procedure that we have planned is ok or we have missed something.
Phase 1: WCS to CPI 1.3 upgrade
1. Check that WCS is at 7.0.230.0 version
2. Export WCS database
3. Install NCS 1.1.1.24 software
4. Contact cisco to obtain trial license for NCS software (L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9 license).
5. Migrate WCS license and import it in NCS software
6. Migrate WCS data to NCS software using ncs migrate command
7. Patch NCS software
8. Inline upgrade to CPI 1.3 software
9. Install proper licenses on CPI 1.3 (WCS and LMS device count)
My concern in this first phase is should I use NCS large image since our Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 software should manage 2000 devices at the end.
Or is it better not to perform inline upgrade and insted go with exporting data from NCS and then importing them to CPI 1.3 that is going to be installed separately?
Phase 2: LMS 3.2 to CPI upgrade
1. Export LMS 3.2 database
2. Install LMS 4.2 software
3. Install license to LMS 4.2
4. Restore data from LMS 3.2 to LMS 4.2
5. Direct upgrade from LMS 4.2 to 4.2.2
6. Export the device list with credentials from LMS 4.2.2 and import it as a Bulk Import in CPI 1.3
At the end we will have CPI 1.3 and LMS 4.2.2 software running.
Is it possible to directly upgrade from LMS 4.2 to LMS 4.2.4 and then import data to CPI 1.3 or we need to go with 4.2.2 version?

Are this errors going to affect our LMS 4.2 operations?
Then we have upgraded to LMS 4.2.2 and exported data and credentiales for PI import.
On PI 1.3 we have installed WCS 500 devices upgrade license and LMS 1500 upgrade license and now we are having 2000 devices lifecycle license. We have successfully restored WCS data in PI and we have imported LMS devices as bulk import. What is strange is that we have this message in prime regarding licensing:
On LMS 3.2 our customer had saved unlimited number of configuration versioning. After upgrading to LMS 4.2 we can only see last 3 configurations regardless of unlimided number of configurations in previous LMS, so my question is where can we find older configurations in LMS 4.2?
We are planning to turn unlimited versioning on CPI 1.3 now, so our customer will again have feature that they need. Do you have some experiance regarding disk space when all device configurations are stored forever?
Thank you for your help.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 to 2.1
I have a Cisco Prime Infrastructure version 1.3 virtual appliance and we have a new Prime Infrastructure version 2.1 virtual appliance set up. I would like to get the wireless information put into the new server. This includes the WLC and APs and then the campus maps and the location of each AP on the map Im not sure if the heat mapping is a feature of Prime or if I have to set that up too. But I would like the heat maps.
What would be the easiest way todo this?Are you logged in with a cisco.com (CCO ) userid? I just checked it and it works fine for me.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 - Third Party NetFlow
Hi,
is it possible to collect on the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 NetFlows from Third Party Devices, like a SonicWALL Firewall?
I mean it is possible to poll SNMP informations from a third party device, so maybe it is also possible to get the NetFlow from this Device?
Best Regards,
Sven K.
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad AppHi Sven,
As per my understanding for 3rd party Only below thing are supported:
The following support level is available with Prime Infrastructure :
• Auto Discovery of a 3rd party Device
• Basic Inventory collection
• Basic lifecycle management of 3rd party device
• Ability to show traps and syslog for 3rd party devices
• Device reachability status polling
• Ability to load new MIBs & to create new monitoring templates
• For both Cisco and any SNMP device
More info is available in the link given below:

Upgrade from Cisco Prime infrastructure verion 2.0 to 2.1
Request you all to please let me know if i have to install point patch before upgrading the cisco prime infrastructure 2.0 to 2.1.
After moving to 2.1, there is a 2.1.1 point patch currently available.
You should install that and the latest device package (4.0 as of this posting).
As always, the Release Notes are the best place to check the current available updates. -
Cisco LMS 4.0.1 to Prime Infrastructure 2.x Upgrade
Hello,
we are using Cisco LMS and want to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
Now we have received the following license update: L-L-PI2X-100-U - LMS to Prime Infrastructure 2.x Upgrade 100 Device
and I wonder what is the best way to upgrade.
After a long search I found the following document on cisco:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/cloud-systems-management/prime-infrastructure/guide-c07-729990.html#wp9000727
There is only the talk of the upgrade from 4.2 LMS to Prime.
The problem is that we can not update to version 4.2 because of an error. Thats one reason why we need to upgrade to prime.
Is the only possibility now to export databases?
thanks in advanceHi Heiko,
Upgarding from LMS 4.0.1 to LMS 4.2 , you need a New Licesne . Are you getting that error..
Upgarding from LMS to PI is alomost like a new Installation of PI. because only thing you can IMPORT from LMS to PI is the device list .
you can download the software from the below link:
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284422771&flowid=45323&softwareid=284272932&release=2.0.0&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=all
Installation link:

hope it will help

Hi All,
Im getting a bit confused about the whole upgrade migration process for the following config to Cisco Prime Infrastructure:
LMS - Version 4.1 , 500 devices. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1
NCS – version 1.1 , 50 devices Red Hat Linux ( 64 Bit) (Installation software - NCS-VA-1.0.1.4-small.ova)
I want to be able to backup databases and migrate licensing from LMS and NCS to one platform. Does anyone have experience of this and could possible guide me thorugh this process. LMS has SAS and NCS has SAU.
Help will be very much appreciated!!It's a couple of steps but can be done. You may want to reconsider getting off of LMS since the latest Prime Infrastructure (PI 1.2) does not have full feature compatibility with the latest LMS (4.2.3). Have a look here for the comparison.
If you still want to do it:
1. Upgrade your NCS to PI 1.2 (instructions). If you're going with a total of 550 devices on a combined license you should use the medium ova file to get the correct server resource allocation. You will need to get the new license from the TAC or via the licensing portal. I'm not sure if you can get the PI license for your LMS upgrade directly via the portal but you do have the entitlement for LMS 4.2 and PI 1.2 (combined licenses not to exceed the original LMS number) if your SAS is current. You may need to contact the TAC and ask for the licensing team.
2. Upgrade your LMS to 4.2 and patch it to 4.2.2 (instructions). Once you've done that, there is a simple menu command to export your device credentials to Prime (Admin, System, Export Data to PI in LMS and then Operation, Device Work Center, Bulk Import in PI - instruction on Page 18 here). Do that and then in the new PI installation import the devices.
Verify everything is working and you can decommission the LMS server. -
Hello,
A customer currently have 2,500 Cisco Prime Infrastructure Lifecycle device license using Prime Infrastructure version 1.2 and LMS 4.x. the customer wants to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0.
Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade to version 2.0 without additional cost? the licenses from
Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 has to be upgraded or we need only to rehost the VUDI.
Also could be possible to upgrade LMS 4.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0?
thanks!The two features you mention are two big missing ones. Another is full syslog capability. I don't believe CiscoView or day one support via package updates is included either.
Another is less tangible - the depth of experience and documentation available for LMS vs. Prime Infrastructure (particularly the wired management features). I agree for wireless PI 2.0 looks good. Some new features are coming for wired that look promising but they are new as of PI 2.0 so I'm taking a wait and see on them.
I hope to get 2.0 up in my lab in the next week or so and will hope to be pleasantly surprised but that's seldom the case with a major new release. -
Hello everybody,
we have updated cisco prime infrastructure from 1.3 to 2.0. When we now import a floor plan (autocad-file, dwg-format), the background from finally image, that is show in prime, is black. Previous imported floor planes has a white background. We also tried to import a previous imported floor plan again, the background is now black. Is there a possibilty to change the background to white? ThanksHi,
Look no further, these issues are related to know bugs. It seems that autocad files have multiple issues with PI 2.0, Only feasible way is to convert them to JPGs and import them. Lets hope these will get fixed to the level they where at PI 1.3.
CSCuj63017, PI 2.0 dwg(AutoCAD file) import reports Tailormade is for Demo use only
Symptom:
When dwg files are imported to Prime Infrastructure, they report
"For Demonstration Purposes only
Tailor made software"
Conditions:
Prime Infrastructure - 2.0.0.0.294
Use of dwg (Auto cad) files
Workaround:
None at this time
Further Problem Description:
CSCuj94500, Loading DWG floor maps on PI 2.0 appears in black background
Symptom:
On PI 2.0 when we try to import autoCAD .dwg file to map, the map appears in black background.
Conditions:
On PI 2.0 when we try to import autoCAD .dwg file to map
Workaround:
use 3rd party tool like Draftsight or AutoCAD Trueview to change the file to .jpg and import again to PI, after that the map appear in white background in PI 2.0.
Further Problem Description:
However, the same .dwg file when we imported it to PI 1.3 appear in map with white background. -
Change Interface availability threshold from Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0
Dear Community,
I’m working in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 and I’m having the following problem:
I want to monitor the interfaces availability from all the devices of my network. But only makes sense send an email notification for the most critical interfaces. I don´t want to receive an email notification every time anyone unplugs the network wire.
How can I achieve this?
I already tried to change the interface availability threshold from the Interface Health Threshold Template, but this one isn´t available to configure.
The idea was to change the severity of the alarm so I could distinguish what type of alarm would send email notification.
I also created a Custom SNMP Template that gets the ifOperStatus using the MIB IF-MIB. This also didn’t work because Prime Infrastructure doesn’t allow me to define thresholds to a Custom SNMP Template.
Without threshold, no alarm, without no alarm, no email notification!
Can you help?
Regards,
Daniel CJOnly on the HA pair which would be the secondary.
High Availability (HA) RTU: If Cisco Prime Infrastructure is deployed in a high availability configuration with one primary and one secondary instance in an HA pair, then an HA RTU is required. You only need to purchase a single set of the regular licenses (for example, Base, Lifecycle, and so on) for the primary instance.
Thanks,
Scott

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 not showing alerts from switch
Hello,
I have a prime infrastructure 2.0 running at a customer place and the customer now complains that he is not receiving link up/down messages from the switch. When i checked I have seen that if I shut down a port in the switch the prime identifies after a long time, but its not generating an alarm still. How can I fine tune the prime to fix this issue. Please help on this.
Thanks in advanceHi,
Same problem here.
I am using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (evaluation version for 60 days). I want to deploy port monitoring for my trunk ports between switches and some other important ports e.g. servers. Basically I want to get alarms when these ports are down, there are errors on ports and etc.
So in Design>Port Grouping I created User Defined group with important ports. In Deploy>Monitoring Deployment I selected Interface Health (default)>Deploy selected Port Groups and when selected port group I created.
Now the rule shows Deployed: Yes and Status: Active. After that I just pulled out one port which was in monitored group, waited 5min as it is set in Interface Health (default) template, and nothing happened, and worse, alarms started to show up of other ports where regular users are connected (computers was turned off), which I do not want to see at all. I tried redeploy template, I even created my own template but still no desired result.
Any suggestions how to make port monitoring work? -
Hello,
we are trying to install certificates from our CA on our Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2
What we get from our colleagues is a file in .pfx format, containing an exportable key and the whole certificate chain.
On the prime server, using openssl 0.9.8, we exportet the key and converted the file to .pem.
When trying to install the certificate, we get the following error code:
prime# ncs key importkey key-nopw.pem newcert.pem repository certificate
INFO: no staging url defined, using local space. rval:2
ERROR: dowload of key-nopw.pem failed. rval:-200
Does anyone have an idea what formats can be used for prime ssl certificates and how to install them?
The official guide has only little information on how to make a csr and install the certificate.
Best regards,
JoergI solved the same problem 5min ago.!

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 - no traps/info are pushed from devices
Good evening,
I have setup Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 and, though I have added manually my 4 network cores as devices without any problem, I can't get a single trap or a single SNMP information to be pushed into my Cisco Prime Infra.

Basically all traps are enabled but absolutely nothing is showing up in my Prime Infra except that my 4 devices are "Reachable".
Here is a show snmp on the same device :

Can anyone point out what is wrong or missing in my configuration? I can't seem to single it out myself.
Thanks
JeremyHi Jeremy,
SNMP traps are shown in the events and alerts section of PI.
SNMP config looks fine. Can you run the SNMP debug (debug snmp packets ) .check the logs and see if the device is actually sending the TRAPS to the PI server.
Thanks-
Afroz
