Upgrade Prime NCS
I have a Prime NCS appliance running 1.0.2.29 and I need to upgrade it to 1.1.0.58. I have downloaded the code from the Cisco site but I need to know how to upgrade the NCS.
Use the following command to upgrade from NCS 1.0 to NCS 1.1.0.58:
# application upgrade NCS-upgrade-bundle-1.1.0.58.tar.gz wcs-ftp-repo
In the preceding command, NCS-upgrade-bundle-1.1.0.58.tar.gz is the upgrade bundle file, which is available for download.
The repository used in the example, wcs-ftp-repo, can be any valid repository.
Examples of repository configurations follow.
FTP Repository:
# configure
(config)# repository wcs-ftp-repo
(config-Repository)# url ftp://ip-address
(config-Repository)# user ftp-user password plain ftp-user
(config-Repository)# exit
(config)# exit
SFTP Repository:
# configure
(config)# repository wcs-sftp-repo
(config-Repository)# url sftp://ip-address
(config-Repository)# user ftp-user password plain ftp-user
(config-Repository)# exit
(config)# exit
TFTP Repository:
# configure
(config)# repository wcs-tftp-repo
(config-Repository)# url tftp://ip-address
(config-Repository)# exit
(config)# exit

Poblem after upgrade Prime NCS to Infrastructure
Hi,
I just upgrade Prime NCS 1.1.1.24 to 2.0 becuase we had several problem with NCS Aplication, after this upgrade I can´t longer see the Access Point on the floor maps, the APs are still assigned to the map and if I try to edit the location or asign APs to a new map, the aplication keeps loading but doesn´t do anything. I follow the quick installation guide for upgrading and installed the ncs_1_1_1_24-Update.13.4.tar.gz patch.
thanks for your helpYou should be able to, but your best bet is to bring up a new VM on PI 1.3, and rehost the license. Then you can export the map's and import the map's on your new VM PI 1.3. If you try to downgrade, make sure you take a snapshot of the VM, so you can revert in case it doesn't work.
Thanks,
Scott

Upgrade Prime NCS v1.2 to Prime Infrastructure 1.4
Hello!!!!!
I need your help
How do you do for upgrade Cisco Prime Network Control System version 1.2 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure version 1.4
I go to cisco.com->Downloads Home-> Products->Wireless->Wireless LAN Management-> Unified Wireless LAN Management->
Cisco Prime Infrastructure-> Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.4->Prime Infrastructure Software-1.4.0
I download PI-upgrade-bundle-1.4.0.45.tar.gz
is similar to upgrade to switch o router???What I would do, is export the Maps. Then I would shut down the current VM, load the 1.4 OVA as a new install. Once you have the WLC added, you can then import the Maps.
This method will keep the DB from getting corrupted, and maintain your Maps and AP placements.
HTH,
Steve

Hi.
I am trying to upgrade from NCS ver 1.1.1.24 to Prime 1.2. With the script ncs_patch-1.1.1.24-upgrade-pi_1.2.tar.gz.
And everything runs smooth until Stage 6 of 7., when Updating Database Schema .. is starting
Stage 6 of 7: Updating Database Schema ...
: This could take long time based on the existing data size.
Stage 1 of 5: Pre Migration Schema Upgrade ...
-- complete. Time Taken : 0 hr, 0 min, 52 sec
Stage 2 of 5: Schema Upgrade ...
: This could take long time based on the existing data size.
Here everything stops. I have waited for 5 hours now is this normal?
Regards
JohanIt looks like you may be able to restore the data as it says here but you may need to simply export the database, install PI and restore.

Upgrading Cisco Prime Infrastructure
You can upgrade the following Cisco Prime Network Control System products to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2:
•Cisco Prime Network Control System 1.0.0 (NCS 1.0 MR2, 1.0.2.29)
•Cisco Prime Network Control System 1.1.0 (NCS 1.1 FCS, 1.1.0.58)
•Cisco Prime Network Control System 1.1.1 (NCS 1.1 K MR1, 1.1.1.24)
•Cisco Prime Network Control System (WAN) 1.1.0 and Cisco Prime Assurance Manager 1.1.0 (NCS-WAN/PA 1.1 FCS, 1.1.0.1114)
•Cisco Prime Network Control System (WAN) 1.1.1 and Cisco Prime Assurance Manager 1.1.1 (NCS-WAN/PA 1.1.1 MR1 FCS, 1.1.0.1116)
You can upgrade using either of the following methods:
1. Standard—Upgrades your existing system to version 1.2. All existing data is retained and you will be using the same size OVA at the end. The existing product will not be operational until the upgrade is complete. This is the normal option for most users. For details, see Performing a Standard Upgrade.
2. Migration—Allows you to back up the data from your existing system, install Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 as a new system, and restore the existing system's data to the new system. You can then decommission the old system. This option is preferred if you want to migrate to a larger OVA, cannot disturb your production system, or have a large network. For details, see Performing a Migration Upgrade. -
Cisco Prime NCS 1.3 Licensing issue
Hello,
I am installing Cisco prime NCS x 2 servers. I downloaded the licenses which are ordered allong with the devices as follows.
Product Name : L-PI12-LF-50-LIC
Product Description : L-PI12-LF-50-LIC:Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Lifecycle - 50 Device Lic PAK
Product Qty : 1
UDI : PID: PRIME-NCS-APL-K9
The issue is, the NCS appliance was not started properly and then I used the CD which came along with the server (NCS 1.3). Now my system is up and running but it is NCS 1.3 and when i upload the licenses, it shows that the UID is not matching with the system. Is this because the licenses are issued for NCS 1.2 and my system runs on 1.3? If so, what do you suggest, do i need to download NCS 1.2, install it, add the license and then upgrade to 1.3?
Thanks for your advise,
Regards
JayPrime Infrastructure has a support forum at:

Some client data not being populated after upgrading to NCS 1.1.0.58
After upgrading to Cisco Prime NCS 1.1.0.58 some of the client data is not being populated or gathered. The graphs labeled "Client Count By Association/Authentication" and "Client Count By Wireless/Wired" are no longer being updated? Not sure what was changed during the upgrade or where to look to get it to start collecting the data again?
Eajackson,
Make sure your WLC, MSE and WCS/NCS code matches the compatibility matrix here:

Hi,
A Cisco Prime NCS physical appliance has been shipped with version NCS 1.1
Then it has been upgraded to:
1) ncs_patch-1.1.0.58-upgrade-12.tar.gz
2) PI-upgrade-bundle-1.3.0.20.tar.gz
Our customer have got only 1.2 licenses. How can we downgrade the appliance to 1.2 ?
Or how can we re-install 1.1 or 1.2, for both versions we did not find the iso's to download.
Thanks in advanceHello,
What is the Current verison of NCS ,you are using ?
AFAIk, you can Installed PI 1.3 directly as PI 1.2 is not available for download.
Conatct the License Team and they will re-host the license for you.
you can downlaod the iso file from the below link:
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284652876&flowid=38562&softwareid=284272932&release=1.3&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
Note:Upgrade from Cisco Prime Network Control System 1.1.2.12 or 1.1.3.2 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3.0.20 is not supported.

Issue with backup NCS via NFS (Cisco Prime NCS 1.2.0)
Hello,
Does someone have issue with backup NCS via externally mounted location (NFS)?
I have Cisco Prime NCS 1.2.0 and tried backup it to external resources, but I have issue with my free space:
NCS/admin# backup ncs repository backup_nfs
% Creating backup with timestamped filename: ncs-130131-0534.tar.gpg
INFO : Cannot configure the backup directory size settings as the free space available is less than the current database size.
You do not have enough disk space available in your repository to complete this backup.
DB size is 25 GB
Available size is 12 GB
Please refer to the command reference guide for NCS and look at the /backup-staging-url/ command reference to setup the backup repository on an externally mounted location
Stage 5 of 7: Building backup file ...
-- complete.
Stage 6 of 7: Encrypting backup file ...
-- complete.
Stage 7 of 7: Transferring backup file ...
-- complete.
I have tried to add additional space and use command backup-staging-url (my configuration: backup-staging-url nfs://server2008:/nfs), but it didn't help me.
NFS share works perfect. I have checked it via NFS repository:
repository backup_nfs
url nfs://server2008:/nfs
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NCS/admin# show repository backup_nfs
NCS-130130-1135.tar.gpg
NCS-130130-1137.tar.gpg
NCS-130130-1157.tar.gpg
NCS-130130-1158.tar.gpg
test-130130-1210.tar.gz
Everytime when I try create backup I receive error message "You do not have enough disk space available in your repository to complete this backup".
Does someone know how can I backup NCS system?
Thank youHow much space is availabe on that NFS mount point? It looks like to me from the error message that there is only 12 GB....
The backup-staging-url is just for a space used to stage the backup before it is written----- -
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.

The SAM Poller records issue is not the root of the problem. That's a red herring, and internal bugs

CSCue60860 ncs start displays debug messages which are unnecessary have been filed to have those messages hidden.
The "As first time is not present - removing .dbCreated" message indicates that there is no database present, and that the necessary Oracle scripts to create a database and the necessary tables have to run.
If this is an appliance, shipped from a factory with a hard drive that has magnetic representations of 0 and 1 on it, it's entirely possible something happened to something to the data in transit. When in doubt, it's easy enough to download the .ISO (NCS-APL-1.3.0.20-1-K9.iso), burn it to a Dual Layer DVD (in a Dual Layer DVD burner) and reimage the appliance. That puts everything back to square one and completely rules out the possibility of anything being corrupted. -

Cisco Prime LMS appliance Compatibilty with Cisco Prime NCS
Hi,
Is it possible if we can install Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 in the appliance which is inbuilt with Cisco Prime NCS .
We have PILMS42-1.5K-U license available with us.
Rgds,
KamalOne can install either LMS 4.2 or NCS on the a physical (software on PRIME-NCS-APL-K9 hardware) or virtual appliance (software installed on customer-provided VM).
The two products (NCS and LMS) cannot coexist on a given appliance instance. This is due to change in the future as LMS and NCS merge under the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 release but for now they are distinct and separate products with a common approach and similar look and feel but requiring separate servers, whether physical or virtual.
Please refer to the ordering and licensing guide here. -
I am running Cisco Prime NCS 1.3 and I have two questions that I hope someone can help me out with.
Question 1). Is it possible to forward the Rogue Device Logs back to our SIEM server? If so how?
Question 2). How do I setup the Mail Server Configuration? The part I am stuck on the is the Primary SMTP server. For the username and password don't know what username and password I should use. Should I use the account I am logged into NCS prime ?
Thanks for any help or input.
WeissWeiss,
Re your first question. Prime itself cannot forward syslogs messages it receives. You may need to setup your wireless controller to use a secondary syslog server as your SIEM server.
Re the second, username and password is optional and only used when your mail server does not allow unauthenticated users from relaying mail.
If it allows that, you can leave those fields blank.
If it does require authentication, you should have a service account created on the smtp server for use by Prime when sending outgoing mail.
Maybe you are looking for
