Patch and upgrade problems cisco Prime

Hi all
Because of my simple mind I am strugling to upgrade my CPI from 1.2.0.103 to 1.3.
The guidelines are not that good and so i searched through the community and internet.
I did configure the repository. And next i tried to copy the file using tftp, ftp and also from local cdrom.
Not one of my tries did work.
I need your help on the config steps as i believe i do something wrong or miss a command/setting
CPI/admin(config)# repository defaultRepo
CPI/admin(config-Repository)# url tftp://170.237.255.234
CPI/admin(config-Repository)# end
CPI/admin# copy tftp://170.237.255.234/pi_1.2.1.12_update.tar.gz disk:/defaultRepo
CPI/admin(config)# repository defaultRepo
CPI/admin(config-Repository)# url cdrom:/
CPI/admin(config-Repository)# end
CPI/admin# copy cdrom://pi_1.2.1.12_update.tar.gz disk:/defaultRepo
Thanks for your help

  • 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.

  • Upgrading to Cisco Prime 2.1

    Hello;
    I am trying to upgrade my Prime 1.3 to Cisco Prime 2.1, I have the patch "PI_1_3_0_20-Update.4-16.tar.gz" installed but when I try and upgrade to Cisco Prime 2.1, I recieve this message:

  • 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?
    Regards,
    Jelena

    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.

  • LMS 4.1 (Windows) & NCS 1.1 (VM) Upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2

    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.

  • User Name and Password for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1

    Hi all:
    I am stuck at the login page of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1.
    I have tried using the user name root and its password (when log in with root at Vsphere Client) and also the login user name "before" get into the appliance infrastructure, all cannot work.
    Anybody knows what is the default username or password or any way to set the username and password for this Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 website?
    Thanks!
    tangsuan

    Hi Tangsuan,
    Following is the documented procedure for password recovery..
    In order to modify the GUI root user password, you will need to login to the NCS CLI
    as an admin user, and enter the command
    "ncs password root password <new password>" (without the quotes)
    This should set the web interface root user password :
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/ncs/1.1/configuration/guide/manag.html#wp1268889
    If you have lost your CLI password , try the default logging that is  ,
    CLI user is admin and not root, so please try logging in as admin with
    the password that was set during setup. If that does not work , you need
    the install disk that came with the appliance to recover that password.
    Follow these steps:
    Recovering a Lost Admin Password
    If you lose or forget the admin password for NCS appliance, follow these steps.
    Step 1 Reboot the NCS appliance with the ISO DVD inserted. The Cisco Prime Network Control

  • Patching and upgrading streams

    We have streams set up between two sites. One site is primary and the second one would be secondary
    or the standby system (without using DataGuard). When we go operational, which we haven't yet.
    I am trying to determine how we would apply patches to the system. Again, if one is down for patches
    the second site must be available. Can I have the two sites in different patches/upgrades ?
    I would plan to do them with minimal down time. I've read where streams could push through the patch,
    but have had people not recommend this as the outcome could be unpredictable.
    Are there any systems out there using streams as their standby system ? How do you perform patch or
    upgrade maintenance ?
    Appreciate your comments.
    Thank you.

    Streams support different patch levels as long as you don't use a feature in the lower patchset that exists in the other one. So patch at you ease and don't look at streams. I would just avoid a dctionary build between the two patche session, even if I am confident it will cope with that. Just a conservatism reflex.

  • Upgrade to Cisco Prime 4.2

    Hi,
    I currently use an upgraded version of LMS 3.2 SP1 for 1.5K devices and I've managed to persuade the finance dept that I need to upgrade to 4.2.
    My question is regarding the upgrade process because I currently use a physical Windows server and need to use a VM on a UCS Blade for the new version. In the documentation I've found makes reference to the fact that I need to perform a remote upgrade from one system to the other but I want to start with a clean slate and don't really want to transfer all the discovered devices or current jobs to the new install.
    All I want to do is make sure that the version we're purchasing (upgrade from 3.2 SP1 for up to 300 devices) is properly licensed. I was going to download the eval version, install it on the VM and then apply the license but it's the "applying the license" part that I'm concerned with. From what I've read it looks as though I need to perform a normal backup and then migrate all the data across to the new installation. Is there a way to just transfer the license details or do I have to follow the complete process then delete everything I don't want so that I can start again?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Mark.

    Hi Mark,
    if you want to start afresh with LMS 42 without migrating the data its completely fine. You dont have to perform remote migration steps and you can start afresh from 0 with new Server.
    For details on which OS are supported please check the guide:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/install/guide/prereq.html#wp1119955
    In short now only win2k8 and Sol 10 and a OVA linux soft appliance is available for VMWare.
    Yes you can install the Eval copy of LMS 4.2 and whenevry you apply license before the expiry of Eval it becomes a licensed software with lic device limit.
    Point to notice is in Eval mode only 100 devices are supported so more than that will not be managed by LMS 4.2, hence add more devices once you apply license.
    Installing license is easy task too, see Installing the License File.
    As a suggestion to get devices more faster on your new LMS 4.2 is you can export the DCR devices with credentials from LMS 3.2 and import DCR back on LMS 4.2, which will get all the device list without older data. Else a Standard Device  Discovery in LMS 4.2 should be able to do the job easily as well.

  • Server 2012 Patch and Certificate Problems - GPO Breaking Server

    We built some Server 2012 R2 servers, the first ones in our organization. We were able to install SQL 2012 with no issues. We are required by organization policy to harden our computers. But when tried to install WSUS patches we began noticing several problems...messages
    like "the signer of the message is invalid or not found (0x8006002)" and "revocation process could not continue - the certificate(s) could not be checked) (0x800B010E and in event viewer 2148204814). We can only run Internet Explorer if we go
    to an admin command prompt, change to "program files\internet explorer" and type "iexplore.exe". Obviously we can not make these servers live until this problem is fixed. Two of us have spent two weeks on this. We can join a hardened
    Server 2012 R2 image to the domain and things still work. The point that it breaks at is when we apply our default domain GPO. It doesn't matter if we apply other GPOs singly or en masse, it's the default one that is breaking it. If we unapply the default GPO,
    it's still broken, so it's something that is not undone by removing the GPO. So while the breaking GPO is known, nothing we have tried has enabled us to narrow down what in the GPO is breaking this. We compared RSOPs on a working and non working image and
    they are the same.
    Something else worth noting is that the default domain GPO does not break our 2003 or 2008 servers. So the offending setting affects Server 2012 differently.
    Any ideas on what this setting might be or how to narrow the plethora of settings in our GPO?
    This build has IE 11. IE64 works in metro mode but both IE64 and 32 don't work in desktop mode.
    WSUS says certs for wuident.cab are not found but we've manually loaded them into the local store.
    As a side note, Server 2012 needs to have access to another CRL list in addition to what prior versions of Windows Server needs, towit: http;//www.microsoft.com/pkiops/crl
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Ben,
    >>IE is still not working right. Still working that one
    Based on your description, were there any related error event id logged? What’s the message when we opened IE normally?
    For this involves IE and for better help, we can also ask for advice in the following forum.
    Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, 11 Preview

  • Difference between patch and upgrade

    hi,
    i need to know the exact difference between the patch that is available online and the upgradation of oracle. there is a patch 14 available for oracle 11.5.9 available. what does it do. is it similar to upgrading the oracle installation to a higher version.
    please reply as soon as possible.
    thank you in advance.

    Would you please elaborate more. What do you mean by the patch this is available only? What is patch 14?
    If you are running on 11.5.9 and want to upgrade to 11.5.10.2, then you need to apply 11.5.10.2 maintenance pack. Maintenance pack is a consolidation of all the mini packs for all products and all the family packs for the entire oracle applications.
    Have a look at the following link for Oracle Applications Patch Types:

  • Differences between clients and devices in Cisco Prime infrastructure

    Hello
    It seems to be a very simple question :
    I read the Prime Licensing Guide in order to size the
    right version of OVA to deploy in my datacenter .
    I don't understand what is a "client"  , because there is a topic about it in the data sheet :(cf joined pic)
    could you please help me ?
    Cheers ;

    Hi,
    By client , it mean wired client like your laptop or wireless client like your smart phone
    License is depended  on the devices count not on client count.
    Thanks-

  • Upgradding Prime Infrastructure version 1.2 and LMS 4.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0

    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.
