Upgrading Cisco NCS 1.1.1.24 to Prime Infrastructure 1.2

I am planning to upgrade NCS 1.1.1.24 to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 and want to make sure that I understand the process and what to expect. Any input from those of you that have completed this would be very appreciated. I am planning on doing the inline upgrade.
I plan to follow the guide and first install the point patch. ncs_patch-1.1.1.24-upgrade-12.tar.gz
Then the upgrade image file is PI-upgrade-bundle-1.2.1.12.tar.gz.
What I want to make sure is that I do not lose any data or maps. Is this retained?
We use the NCS Guest Portal for Guest wireless ID administration. Is this the same in Prime 1.2?
Thanks.

The portal guest administration is the same might look different.
The process is just like you mentioned. Install the patch and then perform the upgrade. When you go to Prime Infrastructure, don't be nervous if it takes PI 10 minutes to boot. That's normal... From the CLI, you can issue a show application status ncs. NCS is case sensitive!

Migrating data from Cisco NCS 1.1.1.24 to Prime Infrastructure 1.3 Question

I am spinning up a new VM server for Prime to migrate from NCS. I have not been able to find the patch Cisco recommends to run before upgrading. My question is do I need to run this patch (ncs_patch-1.1.1.24-upgrade-12.tar.gz) if I am just gong to bring up a whole new machine and not upgrade the existing NCS? My plan is to do a back-up on the NCS and a restore from the new Prime.

Migrating from NCS 1.1.1.24 to Prime Infrastructure 1.3
To migrate to a new Prime Infrastructure 1.3 system, follow the process as described in the following two links below:

SOme of the similar discussion happened here, which would be helpful.
To answer your questions :
A.> Yes all three of them are separate software.
LMS :--> Ciscoworks Prime LMS is about to be end-of-life software which will phase out in favour of its successor Cisco Prime Infrastructure. This Software was the key application from Cisco to help manage the entire Wired Infrastructure for cisco devices, like Routers, switches, VPN, FW's, etc.
NCS:--> Wireless Control System (WCS) was the LMS equivalent software to manage Cisco's wireless infrastructure. It evolved as a new Generation Network Control System (NCS).
Cisco Prime Infrastructure :--> Cisco felt market demand to have a unified experience to manage both Wired and Wireless Infrastructure, hence Cisco Prime Infrastructure was introduced which is NCS+LMS. Not all features of LMS are migrated, hence customer's are allowed to use LMS latest version 4.2.x for wired network devices, if required.
B.> Prime is now provided with an inbaked Linux kernel to remove dependency from Windows or Unix (Solaris) OS, hence it is only available as OVA deployment image to be used under virtualized environment and can take benefit of virtualized infrastructure.
FOllowing are the download links :
Download LMS 4.2 here
Download PI 2.1 here

Cisco Prime infrastructure 2.0 cpu requirement

Hi,
i'm reading the doc at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2.0/quickstart/guide/cpi_qsg.html#wp46865
and I'm searching for the CPU requirement for a Standard installation. From table 2 in this document, I will need 16 virtual CPUS but there is no frequency mentioned. Does someone know what is the minimum CPU frequency to run PI 2.0 correctly?
Thanks
Theo

The number of vCPU's depends on your ESXi host, either your limited to 8 or you will have 16, 32, etc. The vCPU amount is defined on the VM or PI2.0 and you can change it after the VM has been installed. PI 2.0 has an Express (4 vCPU), Standard and Pro which require 16 vCPU. There is a custome express that uses the Express ova (4 vCPU), but you need to increase that to 8 vCPU. Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Scott

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.

Cisco NCS Prime upgrade error : "% Manifest file not found in the bundle"

Hello ,
I am currently trying to upgrade my NCS software from 1.0.1.4 to 1.1.1.24 using the upgrade bundle .
Running the upgrade procedure i receive the following error message :

Just to make it clear :

2. there are no typo's
3. the repository is fine
Any ideas would be appriciated .
Thanks ,

Hi,
In case anyone encountered the same problem, here is how you solve it:
1- Login into shell by typing "shell command" from NCS enable mode.
2- Copy the installation zip file to local disk directory:
        cp /source-path/name/installation-file-name.zip /localdisk
3- Browse to localdisk directory which exists in the root directory and unzip the zip installation file:
          [LMS/root-ade localdisk]# unzip installation-file-name.zip
4- Exit shell by typing "Exit"
5- At this step, if you type the "dir" command, the installation file "NCS-upgrade-bundle-1.1.1.24.tar.gz" should appear.
6- In "conf t" mode, create a new repository
   repository myrepo
          url disk:/
7- application upgrade NCS-upgrade-bundle-1.1.1.24.tar.gz myrepo
Please rate if you find helpful.
Thanks.

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.

Jelena

Upgrade Cisco LMS to PI

We currently operate Cisco Prime LMS v4.1 and we're looking to upgrade Cisco PI (Prime Infrastructure) in the next few weeks.
Is there an upgrade path from Cisco LMS to PI? The reading I have completed seems to indicate that an upgrade can only be completed from Cisco NCS.
If I need to perform a new install of PI, can I somehow Migrate / Import my existing device database and config into the new software? I have configured some syslog fault rules for e-mail notification, config templates, custom reports, etc, that I would also like to keep and not necessarily recreate.
Thanks.

As cwallin noted, LMS 4.2.2 patch added the ability to migrate some information from LMS to PI.
Most customers would not be well-served by migrating a mature LMS implementation to PI at this time due to the fact that PI does not yet have feature parity with LMS, Even PI 2.0 (due out in a couple of months) will not have complete feature parity.
See this link for a current comparison.

Upgrade from NCS to Prime

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
Johan

It 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.

NCS 1.1.3.2 to Prime 2.0 Upgrade

Hello.
We are currently running the below version of NCS.
1.1.3.2 (Jan. 31, 2013 - rev 74151)
VUDI: Prime-NCS-VAPL:...
Type permanant
Device limit 625
- I would like confirmation from Cisco that we are allowed to upgrade this to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0.
- Also, if we do an inplace upgrade, I’d like to know if it would install as Prime Infrastructure Express, Standard, or Pro. I’m not able to see what scaling size our NCS is today
Thank you

NCS software is packaged with your physical appliance, can be downloaded as an image for installation, or can be downloaded as a software image to run as a virtual appliance on a customer-supplied server.

From what you describe, it sounds like you have installed the Plug and Play (PNP) ova image. You need to install the Prime Infrastructure image.
