Hi,
A  direct upgrade from a WCS release to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 is not  supported. You must first upgrade to an NCS 1.1 release, and then  upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 1.2.
Please check the links below:
Cisco Prime Infrastructure Configuration Guide, Release 1.2

    Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration? Do we have any Instructions/steps?

    Migration from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 can be  performed. If the customer wants to migrate data you need to first upgrade to  NCS 1.1.1  You can download NCS 1.1.1 from Cisco.com if you have a valid service  contract.
    For the migration step involving NCS an evaluation license is  sufficient.  You can obtain an NCS evaluation license from http://www.cisco.com/go/license >  Get Demo > Network Mgmt Products > Cisco Prime NCS Evaluation License.  
    Instructions for migrating data from WCS 7.0 to NCS 1.1.1 are available in  NCS 1.1.1 Release Notes.  Do not upgrade to NCS 1.1.2 as this release is not  upgradeable to Prime Infrastructure 1.2.  If you are ordering a Cisco Prime  physical appliance (PRIME-NCS-APL-K9) be sure to select the NCS 1.1 image which  you can later upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 after you have migrated your  WCS data.
    There is a post in the support forum which can be refered.

  • How to install cisco prime 2.1 on a empty HP server

    Hi all,
    i want to install cisco prime 2.1 using the physical appliance ISO File on a new empty HP Server, because we have no vmware environment.
    After booting from the ISO File I receive the error "connot find kickstart file on cdrom". Because of this I am not able to install the software.
    I have loaded the ISO image two times from cisco, so im pretty shure that the images is not broken.
    Any Idea?
    Thanks!

    If you have control of an HP Server, why don't you load VMware into the server?  PI requires VMware and can't be loaded onto a "bare metal" frame.

  • Can i install Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 with 1.1 license.

    Can i install Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 with 1.1 license.To be more precise it will be fresh installation
    but the licenses I have is of 1.1.As per my overview from Cisco prime Infrastructure 1.2 NCS and NCS(WAN)
    has been bundled into one service.But both were seperate entities in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1.

    It doesn't matter if you want to make a new installation or an upgrade. The questions is the license.
    The base license is necessary for network management nodes (devices). But to get updates for your system you need the additional to your Base License the Lifecycle License (which can be ordered for 12, 24 or 36 months).
    The Lifycycle License is also based on the number of managed devices. In your case 50 devices. So you have that License - congratulations!
    Otherwise order the Lifecycle License for 50 devices (L-N-PI12-50-M). This generates CON-PSUU-PI12LF50 for 12 months, list price 414,81$. Then Upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2, patch the system and upgrade to 1.3.
    Have fun,

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Cisco Prime 4.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2. While initiating the installation, message box "Error: csv not found" appears, and the installation terminates.
    Is there any csv template need to be copied at any location before hand?

    Are you installaing LMS 4.2.4  directly ?
    Looking at the error ,it looks like ...
    If yes then  you need to follow the below path:
    The installation path of LMS 4.2.4 : LMS 4.2 > LMS 4.2.2 > LMS 4.2.4

  • Migration from WCS to NCS

    Hello,
    I've valid SAU service contract with WCS. Can I migrate from WCS (7.0.230..0) to latest version of NCS by downloading it from software center or I should purchase some SKU for upgrading to NCS?
    Any help welcome.

    you'll probably be able to download the software, but to 'migrate' you need to by the migration SKU from your partner.
    This allows you to take your current license count and get it 'rehosted' for the NCS.

  • Migrate from WCS 7.0 to Prime Infrastructure 1.2

    Hi All,
    I am looking for advice on the licensing and upgrade path for going from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2.
    At present I have a WCS licensed for 200 APs which is  managing one controller and 150 APs.
    I intend to use the Cisco Prime Upgrade Promotion
    to order R-W-PI12-M-K9 (WCS 7.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Migration)
    and L-W-PI12-100-M and L-W-PI12-100-M to match the number of licenses on the WCS.
    Once Prime is installed I also want to manage another 50 devices, does that mean I have to purchase the
    Cisco PI 1.2 Base License and Software (R-PI12-Base-K9) and another 50 Lifecycle licenses, or will
    my existing 200 licenses from the upgrade suffice.
    Sorry if it's confusing, but I didn't invent the licensing structure just trying to make sense of it all.
    TIA

    You'll be able to manage up to 200 devices/APs simpy using the upgrade from WCS to PI 1.2 as you described it. No need to order another base license or 50 lifecycle licenses.

  • Wireless Migration from WCS to NCS and MSE/WLC 7.0.230 to 7.2.110.0

    Hello,
    I'm in the process of ripping out all of my wireless network and putting a new one in and have a couple of questions regarding code compatibility between the NCS, WLC, and MSE.
    My current infrastructure consists of Wism running 7.0.230.0 code, WCS 7.0.230.0 code, and MSE 7.0.230.0 code.  I am planning on migrating my WCS over to NCS 1.1.1.24 while maintaining the 7.0.230.0 code on my WiSM and MSE.  Does anyone know if this will function properly and maintain location services?
    Also,  I am going to be replacing my MSE (3350) 7.0.230 code with redundant MSE (3355)  7.2.110.0 code running high availability. Will I be able to import the backups/config  from the 7.0.230 code onto the 7.2.110.0 new servers? Or would it be better for me to load my new servers (3355) with 7.0.230 code, import the backups, and then proceed with the upgrade to 7.2.110.0.  What is the best way to migrate my CAS licenses over to the new servers?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Well here is the compatibility matrix:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/5500/tech_notes/Wireless_Software_Compatibility_Matrix.html
    As far as the MSE, I would probably downgrade it to 7.0.230.0 and then import the backup and then upgrade.  I guess you can just try it at first if you want, it won't hurt.  You can always clear it and then downgrade if you want.
    Thanks,
    Scott

  • Migrate from WCS 7.0.172.0 to Cisco Prime NCS

    Is there anyway to migrate off of WCS to Prime NCS? We have a fully built WCS system with maps and all configs and was wondering if there was a way to restore to NCS.

    Yes, this is possible.  Here is the link from the NCS release notes on the process.

  • Blocking users after migrating from WCS to NCS?

    One of our people in our Helpdesk  blocked a user mac because of an alert that said they were using the WiFi in an unsafe manner.  Probably streaming or file sharing.  Anyway when they blocked the mac they noticed that in the older WCS it would ask if you want to block this on all controllers.  The new NCS he said did not have that option that he could find.  So the user just authenticated with the same machine to a new controller which then had to be manually blocked.
    I could not find in NCS the option to block the offending mac on all controllers either.  This does not mean it isn’t there?  Can we get a ruling on this? Bug? it worked in WCS.

    We have NCS 1.1.0.58 and I believe when we block the Mac from NCS it only blocks if on the controller that it is currently associated to.

  • Install 10.6 New Drive Migrate from Original Drive

    I have a Mac Pro running 10.5.8 on it's factory original drive. What I'd like to do is install 10.6 on a new drive and migrate my account with all settings and apps to that new drive. Both drives are installed internally on the Mac Pro ready to go, Leopard Install disk at hand and waiting.

    A much better step would be to
    1: Clone the existing 10.5 to a Disk Utility HFS+ journaled formatted external drive using the free Carbon Copy Cloner
    2: Hold option and boot from the clone, check it out. Disconnect.
    3: Upgrade 10.5 to 10.6 on the orignal drive using the 10.6 upgrade disk, see how everything works (if not you can hold option and boot from the 10.5 clone and even reverse clone if necessary)
    4: If the 10.6 upgrade went well, then clone that to the new larger drive (formatted HFS+ journaled first of course)
    The reason for this is you avoid ANY issue with using Setup or Migration Assistant, which isn't exaclty perfect or even close.
    You also get a external clone as a backup.
    If your thinking, "I'm going to install 10.6 so it's fresh" all that goes to HELLO when you use Setup or Migration Assistant, you migrate all the crap from 10.5
    If you really want a fresh install of 10.6, you need to do 10.5 install first so you get your free iLife, then upgrade to 10.6, then install programs from original sources, finally just copy the files from the 10.5 drive.
    If your doing what your doing to optimize/defrag the drive, cloning back and forth does that as CCC copies folders/files alphabetically via the root directory.

    1. Log in as root.
    2. Disable SELinux from the top menu bar at System | Administration | Security Level & Firewall
    3. Attach the RHEL load DVD either from the DVD drive or by attaching the iso.
    4. Open a terminal.
    a. # mkdir /srv/RHEL5_8
    b. # cp -rpf /media/RHEL_5.8\ x86_64\ DVD/Server/* /srv/RHEL5_8
      /* this takes a while.  be patient. */
    c. # cp /media/RHEL_5.8\ x86_64\ DVD/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release /srv
    /* Remember to eject the DVD, otherwise the system will try to reload RHEL at the next reboot */
    5. Create “/etc/yum.repos.d/RHEL_5_8.repo” with the following contents:
    [baseOS]
    name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever – $basearch baseOS
    baseurl=file:///srv/RHEL5_8

  • VMware Tools on Cisco Prime LMS 4.1

    Hello,
    I have just installed Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 from .ova file on a VMware architecture. My customer wants to know if the server is compatible with vmware tools.
    I looked over Cisco documentation but it is never mentionned.
    Has someone allready take a look into that ?
    Thanks,
    Regards,
    Abel JULIAN,
    Nextiraone FRANCE.

    Yes, the datastore is located on a remote SAN so the original source won't be impacted by the loss of the ESXi. But in a perfect world (with VMtools), Vmotion will move VM from one ESX to another in case of failure, performance problem etc.
    Those functions won't be accessible here, and the VM will need to be restarted manually and reaffected to another ESXi in case of failure. Like I said before, the LMS server is not a critical application so that is not a huge issue. The important is to know that Cisco does not support this feature.
    Anyway, I have my answer so it is ok for me, I will notify my customer.
    Thanks you for your time,
    Regards,
    Abel
