Upgrading from 4402 to 5508

Does anyone know of, or have any instructions on performing an upgrade from a 4402 to 5508?

If ur planning for config copy from one to another.. then here is the IMPORTANT instructions..
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/wireless/controller/7.0MR1/configuration/guide/cg_managing_ctrlr.html#wp1063850
Do not download a configuration file to your controller that was uploaded from a different controller platform. For example, a Cisco 5500 Series Controller does not support the configuration file from a Cisco 4400 Series or 2100 Series Controller.
Its not suported!! if something goes wrong then please dont blame Cisco telling crappy products!! we have the written doc

How to dump guest user database from 4402 to 5508

Hi Everyone,
Currently all our guest user accounts are created on a 4402WLC that is running on code 4.2.61.0. This WLC will be replaced by a 5508WLC that is running on 7.0.116.0. Is there a way to export all the guest user accounts and password from 4402 and import them to 5508? I can only get account name from "show running-config" and password is not showing there.
Thank you.
Robert

Hi Patrick,
I'm pretty sure I can only see "netuser lifetime xx" and "netuser wlan-id xx". I can't see "netuser add xx". I've checked both lab WLC4402 and production WLC4402. They give me the same results. The following is my WLC's info.

5508 WLC Upgrade from 7.0.116 to 7.2.111.3

I am planing to upgrade 2 of my 5508 series WLC from 7.0.116 to version 7.2.111.3. I understand that legacy AP's are no longer supported. Is there any other issues I should be aware of that others have experienced? Is the upgrade straight-forward just like other code upgrades? Thank you.

Thanks so much for all the information. Afterr reading throught this, it makes sense now. I do have one more question. After doing a show sysinfo on these controllers, it does look like the FUS does need to be updated. Should I perform this before I upgrade to version 7.2 code, or after I have peformed the upgrade to 7.2, or does it matter?

Upgrade from 7.0.235 to 7.0.240 5508 WLC

Does anyone see a reason to upgrade from 7.0.235 to 7.0.240? I can't go any higher right because we are still using WCS. I read the white papers but as far as I can tell there are no new features..

Leo is a risky Australian.... beware
You might be able to get it to work, just Cisco will not support it. They need to keep the LifeCycle going $$$$$$$

Upgrading from 7.0.98.0 to 7.0.220.0

We are looking to upgrade our 5508 wireless controller from 7.0.98.0 to 7.0.220.0. Reason being, we have experienced a lot of access points disassociating from the controller as well as client authentication issues. Has anyone upgraded from 7.0.98.0 to 7.0.220.0 and experienced any issues during the upgrade or after the upgrade?

https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3540673#3540673
This is the original thread discussing the predownload issue. The code upgrade goes very smoothly... it's when you get to the AP's that the problems start. If you do not have any maintenance window restrictions, then you have no problems ahead.
Please read the above thread, it will shed a lot of light on the subject.
Rule of thumb: If you predownload the image to the AP's and "swap" the images, if the new image doesn't show as primary, you have a problem. When you reload the wlc's and the AP's, the AP's will rejoin and "think" they have earlier code. they will redownload, notice I say redownload the new code... even though it already exists in flash. Then they will reboot again. If you/your company has no problem with this method, you'll be fine.
Thanks,
Tony

Upgrade of 4402 Controller to 7.0.98.0 or 7.0.22.0 breaks WLC ability to display 1130 series APs

Almost a year ago we upgraded our 4402 Controller to 7.0.98.0 to support our 1262 APs. This allowed them to be in our network. We recently realized that we are unable to access the 1130 APs directly from the WLC. We can still access them from the controller GUI, but not the WLC gui. If we downgrade to the 6.0.202.0, it fixes the issue with the 1130's, but we can longer have the 1262's on our network. The error we get when we try to connect to 1130's while on 7.0.98.0 or 7.0.220.0 is as follows:
7.0.98.0 error
Error: Object "LradMeshNode" does not exist
7.0.220.0 error
Error: Object "Child of Lrad#302675 (Lrad00:15:c7:2a:20:c0) class LradMeshNode" does not exist.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Steve

do you mean you can't see the 1131 on wcs ?
If so, is your wcs on the same code rev as your wlc or a head ? Wcs should always be at or a head in code than your wlc ..

Upgrade Software Version WLC 5508

Dear,
i try to upgrade the software from 6.0.199.4 to 7.5.102
can we do it directly or we shoud upgrade gradually first from 6.0 to 7.0 then 7.5 ?
when we try from TFTP it give error [code file error disconnected- unknown error]
tru FTP error is [cont send replay disconnected]
Can you Help me Please

addition to Sandeep & Scotts feedback,
When you do the upgrade, make sure your 5508 FUS also get upgraded to latest version 1.9.0.0. Here is the release notes for that
https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/fus_rn_OL-31390-01.pdf
This process will take 30-40min & do this within a sufficient outage/maintenance window.
Here is the release notes for 7.4.121.0(7.4MR2) the one I would recommend
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn74mr02.html
Also refer the compatibillity matrix to see which product it will support depending on the products that are available at your environment

POE Issues After Upgrade from 7.0.240 to 7.6.100

We have a 5508 that has just been upgraded from 7.0.240 to 7.6.100 with many 1142's, 3502's, etc. Our wired network is HP 5406zl's POE on every port and plenty of power available for POE.
As soon as we upgraded our 1142's to 7.6.100 we started getting poe faults on several switchports. The trap indicates an over-current error and the AP will not power up. I can move that same AP to another switch port and some times that will work. If I reboot the switch the faults may clear on those ports, but will reappear on other ports. It is not always the same APs, and not always the same switch ports.
I have tried downgrading back to 7.0 and the errors clear. Obviously I want to be running the newer code for the bug fixes and features. TAC has not given this case any time yet.
The switches report more than enough power being available still on the ports. I can see the ports try to come up, and most of the times the AP will start to power up and come up at 8 watts as it boots, and as soon as the AP is ready to go and starts powering the radios it enters the fault state.
The APs all run in local mode, and I have tried enabling "Pre-standard 802.3af switches. "
Does anyone have any ideas? Something must have changed in the way power is drawn or negotiated.

HI Glenn,
Go for 7.4.121.0 (7.4MR2) version & see if this issue is there ? If not then it may be a bug/issue specific to this latest code. Here is the release notes for this code
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn74mr02.html
Also makesure your WLC FUS also upgraded to 1.7.0.0. See below & keep note this will take 30-40min downtime to your wireless.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/fus_rn_1_7_0_0.html
The version I have given is the one most people including TAC would recommend

Upgraded the 4402 controller to version 6, gui doesn't work

I upgraded the 4402 to version 6 by upgrading to 4.1.192 mesh and then to 6. I could see 4.1.192 but after upgrading I could not get into the gui. I could telnet in but that was pretty brutal. What did I do wrong?
thanks
Gary

Actually when 6 installs it blows away the config. I had to come in and hook up the console cable. I usually hook one up to a laptop so I can always get to the controller but I didn't this time. I thought it was something I did but this controller proceeded to upgrade a controller in another building 20 miles away. The users complained they couldn't log in. When I got there and hooked up the console cable and rebooted version 6 got installed on there and the config was blown away. I had to tell it to boot from the secondary because I have some 1000 series APs still there. I had to recreate it and now everything is fine.

Is it really possible to upgrade from a Treo 650 to a Treo 750?

I am not a very happy customer at the moment, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I upgraded from my old Palm Tungsten to a Zire, then to a Cingular Treo 650, combining three devices into one. I have since discovered that the Treo 650 seems to have a faulty transmission mode, as I can rarely be clearly understood by whomever I call. Am on the second (or third, I have lost track) and continue to have the same problem. I get five bars of reception but can't be understood on the other end. A bit of a problem when one is trying to call 911. Am constantly told I am "breaking up". The repair shop says it "Can't duplicate the problem". OK, then I do not want to give up all the info I have stored in the fool thing, and the 750 seems to have a different system, so I thought I would try that. All the stuff I could find seemed to indicate it wouldn't be a problem to upgrade. When the 750 arrived, I tried to install the software from the CD on my Windows XP computer. No dice. Setup encounters an error and closes. Can't even look at the files, because setup tries to run any time I access the CD. From any drive. Gave it to my girlfiend to check on her computer, and the CD seemed to run fine. Other CDs work just fine on my computer. Must be some kind of conflict, but what? Tried calling the AT&T number that suggested they could help with setup, and was first connected to the business center, they routed me to the laptop center, who routed me to the network center, who said they would have to bring in the Palm customer service and connected me to a Mac guy that dumped me back to a menu that took me to someone for whom English is a second language with whom I was trying to communicate over a very poor satellite connection. They made no sense anyway. telling me first that I couldn't have two desktops running (wrong, my girlfriend has my old Zire and the CD worked fine) and then insisting that the serial number on my device had to start with a P, when it clearly does not have any alpha characters in it. Gave up on that route of assistance. Managed to get the new ActiveSync installed from my girlfriends computer over the network. Great. Now let's get my 650 synced with Outlook (which I have not used at home) and see if we can move on. Nope. First I have to update Outlook 2000 from the old Win98 to my current XP. Find the old CD, and square that away. OK, now sync to Outlook. Nope. The sync program gives an error, saying it will only sync with Outlook 98, 2000, and XP(2002). Good grief. I have Outlook 2000, and the software apparently does not recognize it. If the Palm doesn't work, there is no reason for me to keep this phone, and I am very close to returning it and abandoning the Palm entirely when I upgrade to something that works, although I dread re-entering all that information.

Thanks for the feedback. Today I installed an Enterprise version of Office 2007 I purchased a while back, but had not yet installed. Microsoft presented a few challenges, but they were quickly resolved. I then downloaded the appropriate conduit from Palm, and synced the 650 with the handheld overwriting the computer. Then used Active Destop to sync the 750. Satisfied I had moved as much info as possible, I called AT&T and had them move the phone number to the new Treo.
Bonus! When the guy at AT&T called me on the new phone to verify it, he said it sounded better than my landline.
Sorry for the streaming paragraph. When it is late I tend to write like I think.

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers. Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

Can't print from IE 8 after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

My laptop (HP Elitebook 8530w) uses two HP printers: Color LaserJet CP3525x (at work) and Deskjet 6940 (at home). Both printers are accessed across a local network.
I recently upgraded from Vista Enterprise to Windows 7 Enterprise.
Everything still prints fine (from Word, Adobe Reader, Windows Photo Viewer, etc.), except for IE 8! When I try to print a web page from IE, it prints only the page header, and otherwise the sheet is empty. This symptom occurs on both printers. (And of course this worked fine before the upgrade.)
Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

If anyone else is having this problem, I found the solution on another forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/920588e5-ccc4-4e24-83d6-606...).
Specifically, the following steps solved the problem:
1. If it doesn't already exist, create a directory named "Low" in your directory "C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\".
2. From a command prompt, issue this command: ICACLS C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\Low /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

Fields in read-only mode for BP transaction in upgrade from 4.72 to ECC6.0

Hello,
This is regarding the query for BP transaction in upgrade from 4.72 to ECC 6.0.
While creating BP / Changing BP system is disabling the fields in compnay code & sales area option. There is a SAP not provided 907860; and specified that the proplem is because of the delta customizing.
All the customization settings are as per the note. And the Synchronization Control is also activated. But still the fields are disabled only.
I have checked the field settings also in Cross-Application-Components & Logistic-Genral.
But these are not working for compnay code & sales area data.
please let me know if anyone has faced this type of problem / found any solution on this.
Best Regards,
Shubhada

SAP IMG -> Cross Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization  Synchronization Control -> Synchronization Control -> Activate Synchronization options
This setting allows you to activate synchronization of BP with R/3. Not maintaining the values may result in certain fields being read-only in BP.
Suggested Values:
Source Object: BP | Target Object: CUSTOMER | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: BP | Target Object: VENDOR | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: CUSTOMER | Target Object: BP | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: VENDOR | Target Object: BP | Active Indicator : X
Have you set all of the above settings??
