Upgrading WCS 7 to Cisco Prime (CPI) 2

Hello,
I have read a few article and posts about upgrading WCS 7 to CPI 1.2 via NCS. However now with Prime 2.0 I was hopping I didn't have to use NCS.
I can't find any migration guides or documents about migrating to 2.0 instead of 1.x.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Direct migration from WCS 7.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 is NOT possible.
in my work I had this problem.
the only solution was to first install the NCS 1.1, after the patch 1.1.1.24 and then migrate to 2.0
Backup WCS data , upgrade to NCS 1.1  and restore de data...
install patch 1.1.1.24 , only then you can do the upgrade to version 2
CISCO:
"We strongly recommend upgrading your WCS to 7.0.230.0 (for data integrity) or higher before attempting to migrate to NCS.
Users will first need to do an intermediary migration to NCS 1.1.1.24, and then do an inline upgrade (or migration) to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0"

  • SNMP on CAPWAP via WCS or Cisco Prime

    We are interested in adding SNMP settings to all of our CAPWAP wireless access points.  There is no way to do this via any of our controllers or WCS.  We are soon to upgrade to Cisco Prime.
    I am able to log in via telnet to a 3502 and manually enter SNMP commands, however I can't save the running config to NVRAM.  I can save the running config to flash, but can't change the config register to look at flash for the config on startup.
    Is there a way to configure and save SNMP parameters on CAPWAP wireless access points?

    The referenced document states that SNMP management is available.  However, The SNMP settings on a controller (5508 as an example) allows for traps on the controller itself and not on the CAPWAPs. 
    We have an inventory management system that we want to import our CAPWAPs.  There are over 2500 so manually imputing the CAPWAPs can be a tedious task.  The management system uses SNMP to discover said info.  All of the controllers are already cataloged. 

  • Migrate database from cisco WCS to Cisco Prime 2.x

    Is possible to migrate a WCS database to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x?

    You were able to go from wcs to NCS, but not to PI. Your better off just exporting the maps and importing to a new install of PI 2.1.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 licensing

    I have a customer that is running CiscoWorks 3.2 and they also have NCS 1.1 (upgraded from WCS 7.0).  They have found that it costs way more to upgrade CiscoWorks to Cisco Prime Infrastructure than it would be to just buy licenses after they finish upgrading NCS to Cisco Prime 1.2. 
    The main question about Cisco Prime 1.2 is how the licensing works, we need to know if the licensing will work the same as it did for CiscoWorks where they only needed one license for a full stack of switches.  They believe that Prime 1.2 will require a license for each switch in the stack, which will cause them to buy several more licenses than what they feel they can afford.
    If anyone knows how the licensing works, it would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Have you gone through the below link

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

    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:

  • Upgrading WCS to Prime

    I'm in the process of upgrading a customer's WCS server to Prime. I know before I can upgrade the WCS server to Prime. I must first upgrade the WCS sever to NCS. My problem is the customer's WCS server is running software version 7.0.230 and I need to upgrade it to 7.0.240 before I can extract the WSC database. My question is, if I upgrade the WCS server  from 7.0.230 to 7.0.240 will that cause the customer's  Wireless Lan Controllers that are being managed by WLC server to also upgrade?

    Maurice, I had a devil of a time upgrading WCS to NCS to Prime.
    Long story short, I found the time taken on a very unsuccessful WCS->NCS->Prime migration was 4-8 times longer than the time it took to just install Prime, add the WLCs, and manually rebuild the maps.
    YMMV.
    PS, Cisco Prime LMS is probably replacing their wired management software (often LMS, Cisco Works+ RME, etc). I believe every best-practice guide I've seen from Cisco says to have one Prime for wireless, and one Prime for wired... even though Prime looks like it could handle both.

  • Upgrade WCS to Prime

    Hi Can anyone please advise if a current working Cisco WCS systems can be upgraded to Cisco Prime. Also is there a requirment to upgrade the license or is it just a case of upgrading the software.

    Yes, you can upgrade WCS 7.x to Prime Infrastructure. I'm not sure if you can go straight to 1.2 but definitely you can go WCS 7 - NCS 1.1 (PI 1.1) - PI 1.2. See this guide.
    A new license is required. See this reference (Table 7) for details.

  • Difference between cisco prime infrastructure and cisco WCS

    Can you explain me difference between cisco prime infrastructure and cisco WCS.. I'm little bit confuse...
    Thanks..

    Hi Hasan,
    In terms of features...You can say PI is more advanced version of WCS and NCS. All the stuff possible in WCS/NCS can be done on PI as well.
    But from the architecture perspective , there are differences. If I remember correctly , WCS is based on 32 bit OS while NCS and PI based on 64 bit OS. For the same reason you cannot do inline upgrade from WCS to PI via any path and will have to change the platform/Hardware itself before moving to PI. However , inline upgrade from NCS to PI is possible if we follow the correct path.

  • Cisco Prime 1.3 Upgrade Hangs

    I'm trying to upgrade our Cisco Prime 1.2 to 1.3. When I complete the command to upgrade, it then asks if I want to save the current ADE-OS to the running configuration. I say yes and it saves it. Then it begins the upgrade process. I get:
    Initiating Application Upgrade...
      Stage 1 of 7: Transferring file ...
    That is where it is stuck at. I have looked at the server I have the upgrade file on and it shows the transfer. The transfer has been running for close to an hour.
    Any thoughts or ideas why it would hang here?

    Please check the link below to download the software as I feel the steps you are following is correct and you may try to do it again downloading this software. Might the software is not downloaded proper.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can we upgrade IOS in WLC 5508 through CISCO prime?

    I have CISCO prime 2.0 and CISCO WLC 5508 HA SSO pair.
    I would like to upgrade the software code for the WLC HA pair.
    Can I do through the CISCO prime ......
    As per the link :http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/7-5/High_Availability_DG.html#pgfId-43571
    1. After the WLCs are configured in the HA setup, the Standby WLC cannot be upgraded directly from the TFTP/FTP server.
    Prime do the upgrade through FTP server , so will it be ok if we do the upgrade through it, for HA WLC.

    Please check this link to upgrade wLC software in HA setup.
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/7-5/High_Availability_DG.html
    Once the Primary WLC complete the upgrade , it will transfer the entire image to the Standby WLC via the Redundant Port.
