WCS/WLC upgrade options

Hi,
I'm currently running both a WCS appliance and a windows server WCS on version 4.2.62.11
They are managing around 1000 AP's that are in a Hospital environment. They are using Vocera badges.
The controllers are all running v4.2.61.0
What are my best upgrade options for both WCS and the controllers? I'm looking for stability, improvements and fixes.

We ran a pretty stable 4.0.217 for about a year with no big issues that I can remember. We started getting 1252s and needed to upgrade. We finally jumped in with 4.2.130 and had some pain. We started having issues with Vocera roaming, and Dell 1470/90 adapters had issues also. We've seen the following issues (CSCsm65043, CSCsi26248, CSCsi72578, CSCsq57697, CSCsu44970, CSCsr40109, CSCsv21441, and CSCsv21464). Some have been fixed in 4.2.173/176, but with the latest security advisory, it makes sense to run 4.2.176.
With 19 pages of open caveats in 4.2.176, it's a crap shoot for sure, but probably the best you can do as it's a MD release. Also we have depreciated the Spectralink and only run 7921 and Vocera.

WCS base upgrade to PLUS license question

I have a 50 AP base WCS running. What kind if license do I need to order to be able to do location? These two have the same price, but can I upgrade to 100 WPLUS from 50 BASE by ordering the second one?
L-LIC-WPLUS-50
50 AP WPLUS license (Delivery via Email)
L-LIC-WPLUS-100U
50 to 100 AP WPLUS upgrade license (Delivery via Email)
Thanks,

You would need an upgrade license to go from base to plus.

If apple bring out a new ipad after i purchase, is there an upgrade option available?

if i was to buy an ipad 2 today and in a months time the ipad 3 came out, would apple provide an upgrade option to upgrade to the new one??

They have never done so in the past, and I doubt that they would in the future. All that you've been able to do with Apple is return it for a full refund if it was within the returns timescale, and then buy a new one instead

Missing the visual upgrade option on SP 2010 site

I have a series of content databases that were upgraded from MOSS 2007. Most have not yet undergone the visual upgrade.
Today, I have been working on copying two of those sites to a new location.
I created two new team sites. These of course already had the visual upgrade.
I did an export-spweb of the two old sites. I then did an import-spweb of the two old sites into the new sites that I created.
The result is the two old style GUI in the new location.
When I took a look at the site settings (as a farm admin) I do not see an option to perform the visual upgrade on the sites.
I know that there are powershell commands that I can execute when the time is right.
I don't understand, however, where the visual upgrade option went.
Hmm - I just went back to the original sites that were copied and they too do not have the visual upgrade option in the site settings.
The top level site does, however, have that option.
Odd...

But export-spsite won't help.
1. These sites were being copied from one part of a site collection tree to another branch in the same site collection.
2. As I mentioned at the end of my posting, it turns out that the original sites had also lost their visual upgrade menu item - how, I do not know.
Because of these two factors - and maybe others - I was hoping there was a "simple fix" for this. But if there is not, then I just have to live wtih that.

Hey, I have an unopened iPad mini that I won at work and I'm wondering if there's an upgrade option where I can exchange this for an iPad mini with retina display? Thanks

Take it to an Apple store and ask. All they can do is say no. They may ask for a purchase receipt to make sure it's not stolen.

Why is it that the new macbook pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned to go much faster anyway?

Why is it that the new Macbook Pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz boosting to 3.3 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz boosting to 3.6 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned somehow to go much faster anyway, or will the new one be slower in fact? Or does the solid state drive compensate for the lack of increased processor capacity?

The CPU's come from different Intel 'families'. The older ones are 'Ivy Bridge' and the newer ones are 'Haswell'. Numbers alone will not determine the efficiency of CPU.

Any "discounted upgrade" option for new Acrobat 9 buyers when X is released?

I'm looking at buying Acrobat and as of right now, I notice that Adobe's website is only promoting the pre-ordering of version X (I can't even find an option to buy version 9 on here but can find it on Amazon and stuff).
I need to purchase a version of the software ASAP, but I'm just wondering: If I were to buy 9 now (right before release of X) is Adobe going to have an upgrade option that will allow me to upgrade to X without having to pay full price for the software? I'm looking at getting the highest level option (the $800 one).
Hopefully I posted this in the right section of the forum...
Thanks.

Thank you, George.
So, in other words, that means if I buy now through Amazon, I won't get the upgrade option (since it's a 3rd part site), despite the new release announcement, correct?
Is there a link anywhere on Adobe to buy version 9 now so I do qualify for the X upgrade? I can't seem to find one...

Solaris 10 upgrade from 9 - Upgrade option not presented

I have moved the system disk from a v880 to a v480 and successfully booted.
I've successfully tested the upgrade using pfinstall.
/usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -D /tmp/profile
I had the following text in /tmp/profile
install_type upgrade
root_device /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0
This finished with:
Test run complete. Exit status 0.
I had to mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 to /a before running pfinstall otherwise the program would fail with Exit status 2.
Original slice layout is:
# df -h | grep c1t0
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 9.8G 4.2G 5.6G 43% /
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 9.8G 3.7G 6.1G 38% /usr

/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s6 20G 2.0G 18G 11% /export/home
Because of http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4041/6nfhjnlao?l=Ja&a=view
I moved var from slice 3 to / on slice 0
I also removed "swap" entries in vfstab, and even removed the second disk in the system (which didn't have an OS)
ok> boot cdrom - nowin
this results with no upgrade option presented
Can someone tell me what I can do? I don't have experience with Jumpstart or Live upgrade
Thanks

Hi,
Yes and no.
11gR1 and 11gR2 are fully supported (premier support). 10gR1 and 10gR2 are in extended support. About 9.2 it's a bit more complicated and the general extended support ended : check note 161818.1 for further details.
After the extended support there is still the sustaining support.
Read that to understand the notions :

Antenna type in WCS / WLC

Hello, I am still somewhat new to the wireless side and I saw something today while trying to troubleshoot a wireless issue we were having that I have not heard or read about from my CCNA Wireless studies. I noticed that the antenna types our WCS is showing attached to my APs are wrong.
My question is, do the APs / WCS / WLC know what type of antenna is connected to the APs automatically or is this a manual process that someone should assign them? The second question is, if it is a manual process (which I suspect it will be) can I change it without disrupting current connections or should I wait until a maintenance window to do this?
We have 3502e AP with AIR-ANT-1728 and AIR-ANT-5150V-R antennas attached to them, but my WCS says they have the rubber duckies on them. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

There is no way the WLC even knows what antennas you have. If your using antennas besides the rubber ducks then you need to define that on WCS. If you have Cisco antennas, there is a drop list of the antennas. You also have to make sure of the antenna orientation. This is all defined in the WCS user guide.
Note
If you have a ceiling-mounted AP with an integrated omni-directional antenna, the antenna orientation does not really need to be set in WCS. However, if you mount that same AP on the wall, you must set the antenna orientation to 90 degrees.

5508 WLC Upgrade steps

Single 5508 WLC with 8 x 1142 APs.
5508 is running FUS 1.3, software version 7.0.116.0, field recovery image 6.0.182.0.
I need to bring the software version up to at least 7.2.115 to support 2 new 2602 AP i need to install.
Question is; do I install FUS 1.9 then update my controller to 7.6.120 or do I need to do any intermediate steps?
This is my first time upgrading a WLC so I'm fresh and this is a production WLC.
Cheers

Hi Fisher.
Normally It doesn't matter as long as you get it done but make sure that you reboot the WLC before doing the next.
Here is the procedure for FUS upgrade:

Wcs license upgrade issue

Dear all,
We have two 4400 controllers which support 50 Access points each and wcs with 100 base license.Now we added 5508 controller supports 50 access points.wcs is upgraded with another 50 ap license.The 5508 controller is joined to wcs and the licence showing permanent.WCS showing all aps and showing both 100 and 50 licence as permanent.
But the issue is while loging into the wcs it showing the error message as"The system is in violation of license.The number of APs registered is greater then licensed."
What might be the reason.Please help me.
Attaching the screen shot.
Thanks in Advance
Bose.

Because your WCS is still licensed for 100 APs ....
There are 2 license level : Base and PLUS.
You had a 100 AP Base license.
You bought a PLUS_UPG license which upgrade 50 out of your 100 AP count to PLUS.
Result : you now have 100 AP licensed on WCS, out of which 50 have the "PLUS" feature set.
You should have ordered a "BASE ap count 50" license. or if you want to go to plus, a "plus_UPG" license but for the 100, and then a plus ap count 50.

How to update SP2010 sites that are missing the Visual Upgrade options

So, we are moving towards upgrading some SP 2010 sites that are currently using the old SP 2007 look and feel so that they have the new ribbon Visual Upgrade.
For some reason, some of these sites do not have the Site Actions > Visual Upgrade option nor do they have the Site Actions > Site Settings > Visual Upgrade link.
Does anyone know what can be done to make those available?
Thank you.

Even when I take a look at
http://myfarm/sites/Support/dept1/_layouts/prjsetng.aspx?Source=http%3A%2F%2Fmyfarm%2Fsites%2FSupport%2Fdept1%2FPages%2Fdefault%2Easpx
which is where the site actions > visual upgrade link should take the user, that page does not have the visual upgrade options on it.

I just opened my database : startup upgrade and it started up.
But couldn't perform a backup.As you said you have started the DB in upgrade mode and trying to take the backup of database. I think you can't take the backup of DB in upgrade mode.Please shut it down first and start up it in normal mode and do the backup.
Which backup strategy you are following?
What you exactly want to do upgrade the database or trying to take a bcakup?
