If you are running Prime Infrastructureon an unsupported OVA or physical appliance and want to enable Compliance, you must perform a fresh install of the 3.4 Standardor Professional OVA or Gen2 appliance, then use backup/restore to migrate data from your old server to the new server. SeeEnabling Compliance Services in the. We recommend that you maintain an acceptable level of latency between your devices and the Cisco Prime Infrastructure server.A high latency might result in the server being unable to manage your devices, or the background tasks running slowly. A typicalexample of such a scenario is when you have thousands of APs and multiple Cisco Wireless Controllers managed by Prime Infrastructureacross a WAN. In such a situation, we recommend that you install Prime Infrastructure in a local setup to ensure that thedevice response time is not impacted by queries from Prime Infrastructure.How to Scale forService Provider Wi-Fi. When using OperationsCenter, we recommend that you:. Use the Standard OVAinstallation option.

Ensure that your network isproviding the following performance levels between Operations Center and itsmanaged devices:. Bandwidth—250 Kbps. Latency—up to 5 ms. This isnot a hard requirement, but Operations Center will only be as fast as itsslowest managed instance. The higher the latency, the slower the overallperformance. Use the Network Latency column on the Operations Center Manage& Monitor Servers page to spot managed instances that may be acting asbottlenecks. Ensure all instances managed by Operations Center are running Prime Infrastructure 3.3.

To allow management of 3.2.x instances,an Operations-Center-enabled patch needs to be installed on the Prime Infrastructure instances and restarted. To obtain thispatch, please reach out to the following mailing alias: ask-prime-infrastructure@cisco.com.To help you roll out new versions of Prime Infrastructure at your own pace, Operations Center always supports managementof instances of both the current and the very last version of Prime Infrastructure (also known as “N-1 management”). For example:If you upgrade your Operations Center management server to 3.3, you can use that server to continue managing Prime Infrastructure3.2.x instances, as well as upgraded 3.3 Prime Infrastructure instances.Note.

Before installingPrime Infrastructure on a virtual machine, you must:. Ensure that VMware ESXi is installedand configured on the machine that you plan to use as the Prime Infrastructureserver. Seefor information on setting up andconfiguring a VMware host.

If you are using VMware ESX 5.5, you must usevSphere Client or ESX5.5U2 (or later) Client to manage the virtual machine. Donot edit the virtual machine settings and do not extend or manually addadditional disks to the configuration. Check that the installed VMware ESXihost is reachable. See the VMware documentation on how to install the VMwarevSphere Client.

After the virtual host is available on the network, you canbrowse to its IP address to display a web-based interface from which you caninstall the VMware vSphere Client. Ensure that the Prime Infrastructure OVA is saved to the same machine where your VMware vSphere Client is installed.

Dependingon your arrangement with Cisco, you may download the OVA file PI-VA-3.3.0.0.342.ova from Cisco.com or use your Cisco-suppliedinstallation media. Verify the integrity of the OVA file using its checksum listed on Cisco.com.Install PrimeInfrastructure on a Virtual Machine.

Hi Rasika,A couple of questions seeing as you always seem to know the answers!1) I’m running 2.0.x so am planning to upgrade to 2.1.2 and not 2.2 due to the requirement to convert to a completely new installation. As far as I’m aware 2.1.2 supports code 8.0.x as well (which is the reason we are upgrading). Is there a major reason why I should push for a move to 2.2? This particular contract doesn’t use ISE.2) When performing a DB backup, it is 212 GB which seems insanely large. There are 250 WLCs and 6000APs.

Does that size seem normal to you?Thanks for your help 🙂Ric. I have a PI Appliance with 300GB drives and migrated from 2.1 to 2.2 with no issues. Please be advised if you have these drives that a Field notice exists.

The upgrade procedure is to export the backup and boot the appliance using the DVD created with the ISO of 2.2. You will be prompted with an option to install the new OS. Use the ‘setup’ to bring the appliance online and then copy and import the data back to the original state. It took 1hr to complete the import with 15GB backup for 50 WLC and 1500 APs. Details such as SSL certificate, In addition to the devices, Login banner, Base/Lifecycle Licenses were all carried over in the exercise. It appears to be a notable improvement from 2.1 and IMO is worth the effort.

Hope this is of use. Hi Jason,Are you saying that you can install the PI 2.2 on your existing PI 2.1 appliance? I am not sure if this can be done since I am actively looking for the answer for that. Our current NCS appliance (PI 2.1.0.0.

87) has 896.90GB capacity. I wonder if it possible to just install the PI 2.2 (using the.iso image DVD) and restore the backup of PI 2.1 back onto it. I copy my hardware specs here and wonder if you can verify if it is similar to yours. Hi RicThere are a few good features in PI 2.2 that are worth looking at.I’ve just installed 2.2 on an applicance (Gen 1) and currently as I speak restoring from a PI 2.1 backup. I have tested 2.2 on a test VM and I did see that the Lightweight Access Point Templates page has been greatly improved.Also with PI 2.1 you can only select a maximum of 1000 AP’s per template but with 2.2 that number increases to 6000. We have 10,000 AP’s across 4 FlexConnect 7510 WLC’s.I have also sent our account manager at Cisco a feature request for the following.1) Being able to provision the Master AP under the FlexConnect Group without having the AP associated.This is because we have 750 FlexConnect Groups spread across the 4 FlexConnect controllers and want to be able to create all of them using templates in PI and then push them to all FlexConnect controllers so that in the event of one of controllers failing failing and all access points jumping over, everything will be ready to go. Also for WLC / AP upgrades as well.2) Being able to report on which AP is in what FlexConnect Group.

What Is Cisco Prime Infrastructure

It is very hard to administer FlexConnect’s even still with PI 2.2.Thank you. Thanks, Jason.

It is great info! I upgraded to 2.1.2 last week but will keep this in mind depending on how Cisco bring out their next versions. In the past they’ve released one like 2.2 where you have to do a full re-install only to release another version that is upgradeable from lower versions without a re-install. We shall see!Philip – Thank you also! The Flexconnect features are not something I use much but there are a couple of projects on the horizon that might change this and make me consider 2.2.Ric.

Hi All,Be aware off a known bug in PI 2.2 with archivelogs andPrime Infrastructure Server Backup (Background task) If you change the default interval backup from 1 to another value (for example 7)then watch out /dev/mapper/smosvg-optvol.

Hi DavidI am trying to upgrade Prime Infrastruce 2.1.0.0.87 to 2.2I have successfully restore from the application backup.But getting error when I am trying to restore the appliance from appliance backup.What I did is as below.1. To perform application backup: backup appbackup repository primebackup application NCS2.

Once the backup was application backup was completed, performed appliance backup using: backup appliancebackup repositiry primebackup3. Restore application using restore command with application NCS – was successful.4. Tried restoring using appliance backup file, it showed me error stating “Backup file is an appliance backup from an unsupported version.

Please retry restore with PI 2.2 version appliance backup”Any suggestion please?. Hi,I have some problems with adding MSE to Prime 2.2. I did a fresh installation of Prime 2.2 as a VM. The MSE also has the latest code running (8.0.110.0).

Both of them are in the same subnet, Prime is on 10.70.9.10 and MSE on 10.70.9.5 and both the devices can ping each other. But when I try and add the MSE to the Prime I get the following error “No response from Server. It may be unreachable, or server is down or HTTPS connection to server failed”. Can you please let me know where I am going wrong?Thanks,@Gunners.

But when I checked the GUI everything is there. What is causing it? Hi,I am in process of you testing upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 in my lab. I just created the backup and found a strange thing. When the backup started, it mentioned the database size to be 56GB.

However, once the backup completed, the file on ftp was only 800MB. Pasting the snapshot. Is it supposed to be like this? Just thought I’d share my feedback on this! I spun up another VM with the right allocations (after persuading our server guys I genuinely needed the resources) and did a full application backup and restore from old to new.

Even though it all seemed to go through successfully there was no data in 2.2 following the restart so I ended up simply running the two VMs side by side and imported / exported the data over.One thing that did catch me out was when exporting the maps I exported them in metres but this CPI imports them in feet which blows your maps out 3x the size so be careful to change your map properties to feet prior to exporting on the old version!.
