WCS export to NCS/Prime 1.3

I have this situation where we need to explort WCS data to Prime infrastructure 1.2 (or 1.3)
The problem is that the Prime 1.2 is already setup for the nework and WAN.
Is it possible to migrate the WCS data on top of a existing database on a Prime server
if it already has its own database. Obviously I don´t want to destroy the current database I have.

You can not migrate data over data. If you migrate the current data the old data will be lost on the prime server.

NCS Prime 2.1 Percentage of Licenses used on WLC2504

Is there an exportable report that can be run on NCS Prime Infra 2.1 that will provide an AP count percentage of licenses used for each controller?
Attached is a screen shot of a visual of what I want in an exportable excel file for WLCs.

Thank you, however, I need to export information that will tell me the percentage of licenses used of the total by each WLC.
I have many hundreds of WLCs and need a spreadsheet that will tell me how many licenses each individual WLC has and what percentage each WLC is using of their total.

Hi,
You can get the pur grp description by the table T024.
In SAP the release will be effected by relese code, which will not be assigned to the user.But however you can find who released from the table CDHDR by providing the transaction code in the field ME52N.

Cisco NCS Prime - Possible Database Issue?!

Hello;
I appear to have problems with our NCS Prime database, I am running NCS in HA environment and over the last few months been running on the secondary server and collecting reports fine.
After failing back I have noticed that no data appears when I run reports on have a "flat-line" on all reports which gather data such as Client Traffic, once I failed back again to run on the secondary server in an attempt to gather some data the same problem occurs. I do however seem to have a small peak in data last night for 4 hours but this then dropped off.
Is there any way to see if I have lost the historical data?
Thanks
John

Issues I have seen is from upgrading. Have you upgraded to PI 1.3 or was PI 1.3 a greasy install? Also they might have some commands that they will have you issue or they will issue, but it's better for them to give you those than telling you what to issue because you don't want to loose everything.

How to Re-Install Cisco NCS Prime in vmware appliance?

I'm attempting to do an Eval on NCS to see if it's worth pursuing this year or wait until next budget year and I'm having quite a bit of trouble, which is pushing me towards the "this sucks" category. My initial setup of NCS Prime went by with out a hitch until the NCS service tried to start and threw what looked like and Oracle DB error. Not being able to figure out how to re-install from the vmware appliance it's self, I had to kill the appliance and redo. This time, after asking me the typical and simple question of ip address and etc, it hung on trying to complete the setup of the app and ate up 16gig on my vmware box. Now, I realize that there is a maintenance release available as of last Friday, but my question is, instead of having to redo the enter appliance, how can I force the appliance to attempt a re-installation of NCS so that hopefully I can get to the point where I just do the maintenance upgrade? I would figure there would have be some way to re-install NCS in the vmware appliance with out re-installing the entire appliance in a support scenerio correct?

If you mount the DVD image for the Vmware appliance so that it boots "on the dvd", you would have the option to reimage. No need to "recreate" the whole setup then.
Normally once it's installed, the upgrades don't require to re-image but you seem to be having troubles. The problem with Vmware installation is that it's hard to evaluate if the problem comes from the NCS or from the vm setup itself.

NCS Prime prompting for login and password after re-imaging from dvd

Dear All,

Restoring the NCS Database
If you are restoring the NCS database in a high availability environment, see the "Restoring the NCS Database in a High Availability Environment" section. To restore the NCS database from a backup file. follow these steps:
Step 1 To view all local repository backups, use the below command:
show repository backup_repo
Note If possible, stop all NCS user interfaces to stabilize the database.
Step 2 Manually shutdown the platform as root.
Step 3 Using the CLI, perform one of the following:
•Restore the appliance and application backup by entering the following command:
restore testbackup-yymmdd-xxxx.tar.gpg repository backup_repo
•Restore only the application backup by entering the following command:
restore testbackup-yymmdd-xxxx.tar.gpg repository backup_repo application NCS
Step 4 Click Yes if a message appears indicating that NCS is running and needs to be shut down.
Note If the restore process shuts down NCS, a restart is attempted after a successful restore. The appliance will then restart and you will have to again login and restart the dbserver, and the platform manually as root (make sure you do not start with dbclean, else you will loose your recently restored data).
The CLI displays messages indicating that the NCS database is being restored.

NCS Prime Wireless Management

Hello,
We have recently purchased Cisco NCS Prime for our Cisco Wireless project. Before installation we need to confirm that NCS
prime will be compatible with ESXi v5.0, as the release notes refer to
ESXi v4.0 and v4.1 only.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/wireless/ncs/1.0/release/notes/
NCS_RN1.0.1.html
Many thanks
Jonathan.

Hi Chris,
1. No.
2. There is a symptom of the following bug:
CSCtw52442 NCS: Lobby Ambassador user can access the home page.
Installing Chrome frame plugin for IE browser in NCS is a requirement as documented in the release notes. This caveat is to address the issue where lobby ambassador users are getting access to the NCS home page to which they have no privileges for. For your IE users, install chrome frame plugin which should take care of it.

NCS Prime 1.0 Eval License

I'm trying to get/install the 10 device eval license on a new NCS Prime 1.0 virtual appliance. I downloaded what I thought was the the right eval license but get this error when installing.
udi of file does not match the system
All I can find in the licensing guide is is this:
Cisco Prime NCS Evaluation Licenses
Cisco Prime NCS can be used in a lab or in an evaluation setting with the following license: NCS-10-DEMO. This provides an evaluation license for 10 devices, for a duration of 30 days. If you need a custom device count or duration, please contact your Cisco representative.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
--Patrick

I got it up and running this way :
1. Downloaded the NCS-VA-1.0.1.4-small.ova from cisco.com
2. Got it up and running on VmWare, run the guided setup..
3. Logged into the Gui
4. In the "License Center" you can see "product id" and "serial number" of the virtual appliance.
5. Used the "product id" and "serial number" to request a demo license on : cisco.com/go/license - "Demo and Evaluation Licenses" - NCS Demo 1.0 -
6. Download it and add it in license center
Now you have a 100 device license for 30 days

NCS Prime 1.3 Controller Audit Status Mismatch

When performing an audit from NCS Prime 1.3 on our 5508 controllers (500 lic) we are getting mismatch messages from many of our 3602i AP's that say the following...
(Type)Configuration Name Audit Status Attribute Prime Infrastructure Value Controller Value
(AP APname, Interface) 802.11a/n Mismatch Spectrum Intelligence true false
These AP's are not configured as Spectrum Intelligence on the controllers, rather as local. It seems that NCS believes that they are supposed to be SI. We have refreshed the config from controller many times but this does not change.
The 5508's run v.7.2.111.3
Is there a change I can make on NCS or otherwise to make this mismatch go away? Is this a bug? It is not causing any problems (that we can see) but as most would rather not have these mismatches.
Much Thanks!

Well when you do an audit, you specify what templates you want to audit the WLC's against. So take a look at when you perform an audit as to what tempted you have chosen. This could of been an old template and needs to be removed.

Unable to Push the Config Frm NCS prime to CIsco WIreless Lan Controller

Hi Guys,
We have an issue with NCS prime, in our Network.
We run NCS prime 1.3 and Around 10 Wireless Lan Controllers (5508 & 4404) Models.
We are trying to Push a ACL Config Template from NCS to Wireless lan Controllers.
This ACL is already created before in WLCs, now we created the templates in NCS with few rules added and planning to push Configs from NCS template.
We are receiving errors SNMP operation to device failed. I am pretty sure it is not an SNMP issue.
Any inputs on this is much appreciated

Hi Scott.
I
I tried deleting the ACL from Controller totally and tried pushing it. it was not working neither
Raised a case with Cisco. They asked for few trace logs from NCS , told will check and get back to me.
IS there any more inputs, you can provide, which i can try to test it?
Regards
Safwan

WCS database export for NCS migration

Hi
I have done a WCS 7.0.220.0 to NCS migration prior to moving to Prime 1.2. I followed the instructions to export the WCS database via the export.bat all command and exported the database. However, when I import this zip fileto NCS there do not seem to be any of the original WCS templates. All the maps and AP details have migrated but no templates.
I have tried the export again and ploughed through the resultant zip file looking for anything that looks like template files but there is nothing immediately apparent that looks like templates.
Has anyone done this before and successfully migrated their original templates ?
Many thanks, St.

The templates should of migrated. These are the only data that isn't migrated.
Non-upgradable Data
The following data are not upgradable from WCS to NCS:
• Certain Reports (Client Count, Client Summary, Client Traffic, PCI Report, PCI Compliance Detailed and Summary reports, Preferred Call Network Summary report, Rogue APs, Adhoc Rogues, New Adhoc Rogues and Security Summary reports).
• Dashboard customization
• Client Station Statistics information will not be populated with old WCS data in clients charts, client details page, dashboards and reports.
• Client historical session information does get upgraded.
• All events from 7.0 are completely dropped and are not migrated to NCS.
• RADIUS/TACACS server IP and credentials are not migrated and need to be readded again after migration is complete.

Unable to Migrate WCS Database to NCS with Demo License

I have NCS 1.1.0.58 running on a VM with a demo license, should I be able to migrate my WCS 7.0.230.0 database to NCS? I can not tell if the migration process worked and there are no objects in NCS. I have attached a console capture of the migration console messages.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

You have probably thought of this already but, If the tables are the same in both sides why don't you just work out the population order and export directly from Access into the empty oracle tables using ODBC?
The way I do it is to create transition tables in oracle then have a script to load the tables and do some validation and error checking.

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"

Migrating WCS Data to NCS

Hi,
I've been trying to migrate in my exported data from WCS to NCS as per the release notes but its not working for me.
We generated a licence from the UID and serial number for our VM install of NCS. I see mention of upgrade licenses do i need one of those?
Do I have to import the license separately from WCS. I thought that the export would include license + data.
I thought this would be straightforward but it doesn't seem that way. Is there anything that I'm leaving out or that i need to do to get this migration work.
Attached output from migration.
All help greatly appreciated.

Hi Scott,
It was a licensing issue and we've finally resolved that. So i now have all our AP licenses imported into NCS.
I have run the migration again for the WCS data to be imported and it doesn't seems to have worked or is there something else i've to do. According to the release notes it just tells you to log in after the migration.
Any ideas?
Anthony
=================================
Forgot to get back to you on this one Scott. The license was the main issue afterwards I just had some problems with tftping the data from the WCS to NCS servers. Resolved that then.
Thanks.
Anthony
