Wireless Migration from WCS to NCS and MSE/WLC 7.0.230 to 7.2.110.0

Hello,
I'm in the process of ripping out all of my wireless network and putting a new one in and have a couple of questions regarding code compatibility between the NCS, WLC, and MSE.
My current infrastructure consists of Wism running 7.0.230.0 code, WCS 7.0.230.0 code, and MSE 7.0.230.0 code.  I am planning on migrating my WCS over to NCS 1.1.1.24 while maintaining the 7.0.230.0 code on my WiSM and MSE.  Does anyone know if this will function properly and maintain location services?
Also,  I am going to be replacing my MSE (3350) 7.0.230 code with redundant MSE (3355)  7.2.110.0 code running high availability. Will I be able to import the backups/config  from the 7.0.230 code onto the 7.2.110.0 new servers? Or would it be better for me to load my new servers (3355) with 7.0.230 code, import the backups, and then proceed with the upgrade to 7.2.110.0.  What is the best way to migrate my CAS licenses over to the new servers?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Well here is the compatibility matrix:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/5500/tech_notes/Wireless_Software_Compatibility_Matrix.html
As far as the MSE, I would probably downgrade it to 7.0.230.0 and then import the backup and then upgrade.  I guess you can just try it at first if you want, it won't hurt.  You can always clear it and then downgrade if you want.
Thanks,
Scott

  • Migration from WCS to NCS

    Hello,
    I've valid SAU service contract with WCS. Can I migrate from WCS (7.0.230..0) to latest version of NCS by downloading it from software center or I should purchase some SKU for upgrading to NCS?
    Any help welcome.

    you'll probably be able to download the software, but to 'migrate' you need to by the migration SKU from your partner.
    This allows you to take your current license count and get it 'rehosted' for the NCS.

  • Blocking users after migrating from WCS to NCS?

    One of our people in our Helpdesk  blocked a user mac because of an alert that said they were using the WiFi in an unsafe manner.  Probably streaming or file sharing.  Anyway when they blocked the mac they noticed that in the older WCS it would ask if you want to block this on all controllers.  The new NCS he said did not have that option that he could find.  So the user just authenticated with the same machine to a new controller which then had to be manually blocked.
    I could not find in NCS the option to block the offending mac on all controllers either.  This does not mean it isn’t there?  Can we get a ruling on this? Bug? it worked in WCS.

    We have NCS 1.1.0.58 and I believe when we block the Mac from NCS it only blocks if on the controller that it is currently associated to.

  • Installing cisco prime on vmware & migrating from wcs

    Hi,
    We have been tasked to install prime on a vmware box then migrate from wcs, i have never done this before & was wondering if anyone has any experience in doing this way, how easy is it & if you have any docs etc?

    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:
    Cisco Prime Infrastructure Configuration Guide, Release 1.2
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/prime_infrastructure/1.2/configuration/guide/tasks.html#wp1215225

  • Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration?

    Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration? Do we have any Instructions/steps?

    Migration from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 can be  performed. If the customer wants to migrate data you need to first upgrade to  NCS 1.1.1  You can download NCS 1.1.1 from Cisco.com if you have a valid service  contract.
    For the migration step involving NCS an evaluation license is  sufficient.  You can obtain an NCS evaluation license from http://www.cisco.com/go/license >  Get Demo > Network Mgmt Products > Cisco Prime NCS Evaluation License.  
    Instructions for migrating data from WCS 7.0 to NCS 1.1.1 are available in  NCS 1.1.1 Release Notes.  Do not upgrade to NCS 1.1.2 as this release is not  upgradeable to Prime Infrastructure 1.2.  If you are ordering a Cisco Prime  physical appliance (PRIME-NCS-APL-K9) be sure to select the NCS 1.1 image which  you can later upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 after you have migrated your  WCS data.
    There is a post in the support forum which can be refered.

  • Migrate from WCS 7.0 to Prime Infrastructure 1.2

    Hi All,
    I am looking for advice on the licensing and upgrade path for going from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2.
    At present I have a WCS licensed for 200 APs which is  managing one controller and 150 APs.
    I intend to use the Cisco Prime Upgrade Promotion
    to order R-W-PI12-M-K9 (WCS 7.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Migration)
    and L-W-PI12-100-M and L-W-PI12-100-M to match the number of licenses on the WCS.
    Once Prime is installed I also want to manage another 50 devices, does that mean I have to purchase the
    Cisco PI 1.2 Base License and Software (R-PI12-Base-K9) and another 50 Lifecycle licenses, or will
    my existing 200 licenses from the upgrade suffice.
    Sorry if it's confusing, but I didn't invent the licensing structure just trying to make sense of it all.
    TIA

    You'll be able to manage up to 200 devices/APs simpy using the upgrade from WCS to PI 1.2 as you described it. No need to order another base license or 50 lifecycle licenses.

  • Migration from powerbook causing freezing and spotted display

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a used 24" Imac recently. I have been trying to migrate stuff from my 17" Powerbook G4. They are both running Leopard.
    I originally tried the assistant but would up having issues with the computer freezing from time to time and leaving short pixel lines from time to time.
    Started over from scratch. Tried moving over music and photos. Same problem.
    Removed the photo library and everything ran fine.
    Moved over my mail folder from library and the com.apple.mail.plist from the preferences folder.
    Opened mail and the screen turned fuzzy/pixelated on me. Computer crawled. Forced quit mail (process took 30 minutes...)
    What is going on? Will I ever be able to migrate to my new computer? I love my old powerbook and all, but...

    You know it does seem to be the memory. Once I replaced the memory with different chips all kernel panics have stopped, same with freezes. Funny how this passed all the memory tests.
    All seems to be better now anyway....thanks.

  • ODI Objects Migration from Dev to Test and Prod Enviornments

    Hi ,
    Can someone please advise the order of the steps that have to be followed for ODI code migration form Development to Test and Prod Environments ?
    Below are the Details ,
    ODI Version : 11.1.1.6.0
    Development Environment : 1 Master Repository (M1) and 1 Work Repository
    Test Environment : 1 Master Repository (M2) and 1 Execution Repository
    Prod Environment : 1 Master Repository ( M2) and 1 Execution Repository
    Test and Prod environments are on the same master Repository.
    Thank you.

    Thanks for your prompt response !!!
    "If they are not in sync, import models, datastores, topology first & then import interfaces/projects"
    Do we import Models, data stores ? Since they are execution repositories we can only import scenarios right.

  • Migrate from WCS 7.0.172.0 to Cisco Prime NCS

    Is there anyway to migrate off of WCS to Prime NCS? We have a fully built WCS system with maps and all configs and was wondering if there was a way to restore to NCS.

    Yes, this is possible.  Here is the link from the NCS release notes on the process.

  • HP PhotoSmart 6520, Printer offline, Wireless printing from Windows 8.1 and others

    My parents own an HP PhotoSmart 6520. They have 3 or 4 computers. 1 Is connected to this printer via USB cable. 3 Are "connected" over wireless. The printer has the latest firmware updates according to checks from the printer front display.
    Problem is this:
    1) When first starting the printer, and the printer gets on the wifi network, all wifi-available devices can print to it over wifi. We are also able to browse to the printer config web pages to see status, and change configs as needed.
    2) After about 5 minutes of printer inactivity, all wireless clients can't print to the printer to print, and can't connect to the printer's web page. (The printer appears to be offline to each OS that uses WiFi to get Internet access.
    3) If we visit the printer control screen, physically attached to the pinter, find the network configuration, and choose to "turn off" wifi at the printer, then after off, "turn on" wifi and see an IP address get assigned, then all WiFi machines can print to the printer over WiFi. However, after 5 minutes, again, the printer is offline. No matter what or how much each WiFi-based machine sends to their printer queue/spool, the printer remains offline.
    4) If the USB-connected machine prints to the printer over USB, the printer once again becomes available over the wireless network.
    The work-around is terrible. (Cycle WiFi access every time they need to print from Wireless devices.)
    Things we have tried:
    1) This is running the latest firmware according to the WebService section request to check for upgrades. They are on the latest according to the results. (no help)
    2) DHCP was the initial config for network settings. I moved to a DHCP server configuration with static IP served by printer MAC address. (No help)
    3) I switched to totally static IP address, thinking it might be a DHCP lease-time/renewal issue, or custom vendor string issues or bug. (no help)
    4) Enabled/Disabled IPv6 even though they are on a NAT-ed network with only IPv4 support. (no help)
    5) Visited printer config with web broswer, and change energy saver setting from "5 minutes" to "15 minutes" because the ~5 minute window seemed like an approximate time limit. (No help)
    6) Enable/Disable other settings through the web and restart the printer. (No help.)
    7) Suggestions listed here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Photosmart-6520-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/5169038/model/516... (No help)
    In testing this, with static IP or not, from other machines, when we can print over WiFi to the printer, the IPv4 address is ping-able from peers on the network. After ~5 minutes pass, and the pinter goes "offline" there are no ping replies to the static or other IP address assigned to this printer. By all accounts, when the printer is "offline" it really is no longer on the WiFi network. Meanwhile, oter devices can ping each other. (All computers, smartphones, tablets, etc can all respond to ping.)
    None of the other devices suffer from dropped access to the WiFi and Internet.
    Suggestions?
    I do not have access to this right now, but I can walk my parents through whatever steps are needed to resolve this.
    Thanks!
    P.S. Other things tried:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/If-your-printer-drops-off-your-network/...
    1) When online, generating report, reports online
    2) When offline, report reports that it is still associated with access point
    3) Printer is about 2 feet away from the access point it is communicating with and has max-bars showing signal strength.
    4) Channel allocation for WiFi was selected based on least used channel, and works very well for all other devices on this channel.
    5) There is only one accesspoint with the name it associates with.
    6) The only options for power-saving "auto-off" we see via web pages from printer are: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes, and changing to 15 minutes does not allow the printer to remain online for 14 minutes -- it still goes offline to the network after ~5 minutes -- even agfter changing this settings and power cycling the printer.
    7) No wireless extender is being used.
    8) We tried static IP, Dynamic IP, and statically assigned DHCP served IP.
    Once printer is "offline" when visiting printer to tell printer to disable WiFi access, then re-enable it, all machines with items in their printer queue/spool *immediately* de-queue/de-spool their printer jobs to the printer.
    This is the closest description: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Photosmart-6520-goes-off-line/td-p/324... Where is that patch?

    Hi @TheSynAck,
    I see you are using a Hot Spot, I believe we have found the reason for the connectivity issues. There may be a setting that needs to manually configured for the Hotspot to 'allow' your printer access. Also, hotspots may have limitations and restrictions that may cause connectivity issues.
    Take a look here: Setting up the Printer as a HotSpot, it shows a Laserjet but the same steps apply.
    Keep in mind that Hotspot connections are 'best effort' connections due to the issues of inconsistencies within the connection. They are not routers. Therefore, you may experience issues in the future when using the Hotspot for your connection. Usually a powercycle or hard reset of the HotSpot will resolve such issues.
    I would not recommend getting another Hot Spot as the connection is not guaranteed, you could however try a Wireless Router if you are looking to upgrade anyways.
    With the PS 6520 you also have the ability to print using the HP Wireless Direct printing option. Please click on the link below to get started:

    I hope this gives you a better understanding of the intermittent connection issues.

  • Problem in migrating from 6i to 10g and I need help

    I'm trying to change my program from 6i to 10g
    I migrated libraries and
    every thing is ok but when I try to migrate forms I had this error
    ERROR opening D:\10gnkinkos\SHIFTS.fmb :oracle.forms.jdapi.JdapiException: A subclassed module could not be found during loading
    Check subclass and library dependencies

    With "the browser opening a white page" do you mean that the Forms Java applet won't start at all or is it starting with a Forms with a white canvas without any items on it?
    If it is the first (Java not starting) there must be something wrong with your Forms setup. First try to run with the default setup without specifying a form. It should display test.fmx that it is included with the Forms setup. This Forms just tells you the setup succeeded and displays a single OK button

  • Server Migration from SLS to ML and from OD to AD

    Current setup:
    small network of macs (10 users, mostly ML), using a mac mini with SLS as OD server. SLS provides: OD, DNS, AFP, VPN, Time Machine
    we are merging with a (somewhat) larger company that has a Windows 2003 Server (which provides AD, DNS and network folders, not much else) and windows clients.
    Now I would like to:
    1) move my 10 users to AD, keeping my mac server in a golden triangle setup
    2) upgrade SLS to ML, since I am interested in using the Profile Manager (all users of the two companies use company provided iphones), and would like to continue to have centralized time machine backups for mac machines.
    My questions:
    1) what should I tackle first, upgrade to ML, then migrate users, or viceversa?
    2) is golden triangle the best solution? is a trust relationship between the two domain servers an acceptable replacement?
    3) what is the best way to migrate users? I would like to maintain all their settings, but do not care about having to reset passwords. all mac users are mobile users. Here is what I would do (on each mac client, once OD is joined to AD in golden triangle setup):
      a. make a backup copy of home folder, then rename the home folder
      b. create a new user on AD with same login name as old mac user
      c. copy files from backup folder to new home folder
      d. make sure all files are owned by user:DOMAIN\group
      e. make sure new users belongs to same groups on joined OD as the old one, so that access to mac-server provided services remains unchanged
    What happens with mobile home folders? Will the network copy remain on the mac server? Must this be set up within AD somehow?
    Thanks for any help!

  • Migrating from PC to Mac and want to migrate contacts from Outlook

    Hi
    I have recently bought a Mac and I'm in the process of migrating off my PC. Currently I sync my iPhone with Outlook and so I have my contacts and calendar in Outlook format. Is there a way to sync my iPhone with the Mac so that my contacts will all migrate over, and importantly keep the Outlook categories (Mac groups).
    I have tried exporting in a comma delimited file from Outlook, but it simply dumps all the 4000+ address records into a single group, ie the Outlook categories are lost.
    I had thought of using contacts in Entourage instead, however iSync doesn't present this as an option. It appears that the iPhone can only sync with Mac address book.
    Appreciate all assistance.

    iSync doesn't sync with the iPhone at all - it is for non-Apple mobile phones only.
    You can sync Entourage with Address Book by turning on Sync Services support in its preferences.
