Introduction

This is the first maintenance release for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.

You can install Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.1 on Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 or Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Update 01. Prime Infrastructure 3.10.1 file PI_3_10_1-1.0.25.ubf is approximately 431 MB. The downloading time depends on the available network connection in the enterprise environment. Ensure that you have adequate bandwidth and are not running into high latency issues.


Important

  • During installation of PI_3_10_1-1.0.23.ubf in the appliance, when the software clock timestamp and system clock time stamp are different, installation hangs without any warnings or traces and all the process will be stopped.

  • To resolve this issue:

    • Option 1: Follow the Workaround in CDETS, and for support contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

    • Option 2: PI_3_10_1-1.0.25 ubf has the fixes for the above mentioned issue. If the backup is available already, then install new setup with PI_3_10_1-1.0.23.ubf and restore the backup.

  • Please ignore PI_3_10_1-1.0.25.ubf installation, if PI_3_10_1-1.0.23.ubf is already installed successfully.

  • For HA setup, ensure that both primary and secondary should be installed with same UBF level to continue with the HA registration.

System Requirements

For more details on the system requirements, see Understand System Requirements section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Quick Start Guide.

Installation Guidelines

The following sections explain how to install the maintenance release.

Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release

You can install Prime Infrastructure 3.10.1 on top of Cisco Prime Infrastructure PI 3.10 or PI 3.10 Update 01 from Software Download page.

Since the maintenance release is not removable, it is important to have a way to revert your system to the original version in case hardware or software problems cause the maintenance release installation to fail.

To ensure you can do this, take a backup of your system before downloading and installing this UBF maintenance release.

If the backup is a Prime Infrastructure 3.10 backup, restore the backup on Prime Infrastructure 3.10 server before applying the 3.10.1 release.

Similarly, if you are running Prime Infrastructure 3.10 in a Virtual Machine (VM) and your organization permits taking VM snapshots, stop Prime Infrastructure and use the VMware client to take a VM snapshot before applying this maintenance release. Store the snapshot in an external storage repository, and restore from the snapshot if the maintenance release installation is unsuccessful. For more details, see Restore an Application Backup in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Administrator Guide .

To revert to Prime Infrastructure 3.10.1 installation (with PI 3.9.x, PI 3.8.x or PI 3.7.x backup), follow these steps:

  1. Reinstall Prime Infrastructure 3.10 from an OVA or ISO distribution

  2. Install Prime Infrastructure 3.10.1

  3. If you have a prior 3.9.x, PI 3.8.x or PI 3.7.x backup- Restore this backup

If you are installing this release as part of a High Availability (HA) implementation, see Before you Begin Setting Up High availability in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Administrator Guide .

Installing the Release from Local Storage


Caution
If you have a High Availability (HA) environment, remove the HA setup before proceeding to install this release. For more details, see Installing the Maintenance Release in High Availability Mode .

Make sure that you have completed the recommended preparation steps given in Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release .

To install Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.1 from the local storage, follow these steps:


Note

You can only install Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.1 by manual download from Cisco.com and upload and install through Cisco Prime Infrastructure UI.

Procedure

Step 1

Download the Prime Infrastructure 3.10.1 UBF PI_3_10_1-1.0.25.ubf from Home > Products > Cloud and Systems Management > Routing and Switching Management > Network Management Solutions > Prime Infrastructure > Prime Infrastructure 3.10 > Prime Infrastructure Patches - 3.10.1 and save the file in your local system.

Step 2

Log in to Prime Infrastructure 3.10 server.

Step 3

Choose Administration > Licenses and Software Updates > Software Update.

Step 4

Click Upload and browse to the location where you have saved the maintenance release file. Click OK to upload the file.

Step 5

In the Status of Updates pane, click the Files tab and check whether PI_3_10_1-1.0.25.ubf is listed under FileName column.

Step 6

In the Critical Fixes pane, click Install.

Step 7

Click Yes in the pop-up dialogue box to install Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.1. It may take approximately 1 hour for the installation process to complete.

Note 
Do not manually restart the server while the installation is in progress.
Step 8

You can verify the release installation from Prime Infrastructure Login under Critical Fixes by clicking View Installed Updates and also by logging into the server and choosing Administration > Software Update. You should see a listing for the release in the Updates tab, with Installed in the Status column.

Installing the Maintenance Release in High Availability Mode

Download PI_3_10_1-1.0.25.ubf from Home > Products > Cloud and Systems Management > Routing and Switching Management > Network Management Solutions > Prime Infrastructure > Prime Infrastructure 3.10 > Prime Infrastructure Patches - 3.10.1 and save the file in your local system.

To install the downloaded PI_3_10_1-1.0.25.ubf in High Availability mode follow the below prerequisites:


Note
Prime Infrastructure 3.10.1 can be applied only in primary and secondary standalone servers. The server will restart automatically once the installation is complete. The restart typically takes 25 to 35 minutes. You cannot apply Prime Infrastructure 3.10.1 when HA is enabled.

  • If you are installing Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.1 on High Availability (HA) paired servers, you will get an error message.

For more details, see Remove HA Via the GUI in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Administrator Guide.

  • Continue the patching once HA removed completely. For more details, see the How to Patch New HA Servers section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Administrator Guide .

Troubleshooting Maintenance Release Installs in High Availability Implementations

If you are unable to apply this maintenance release in a High Availability (HA) implementation, check whether your network bandwidth, throughput and latency meets the network requirements recommended in Network Throughput Restrictions on HA section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Administrator Guide. In a few cases, continued or intermittent throughput problems can cause a complete failure. If you believe this has occurred, contact Cisco TAC for support.

If you are unable to verify that this maintenance release has been successfully installed on a Prime Infrastructure server, or one or both of the servers fails to restart properly after installing the maintenance release, you may need to re-image the server as explained in Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release before continuing.

In all cases, you can use the backup-logs command on one or both servers to get information on the source of the failure. For more information, see the backup-logs section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Command Reference Guide .
