To upgrade an application, log in as root (on Solaris) or local administrator (on Windows) on the system on which you want to upgrade the application.
Before you begin:
•
Check the factors to be considered before upgrading LMS 1.3. See "Prerequisites" section.
•
Locate the PDF versions of the installation guides for each LMS application. Print them or have them open for viewing while you perform the upgrade. For details on locating the installation guides, see the application upgrade sections of this Quick Start Guide.
•
Close all open or active programs. Do not run other programs during the upgrade process.
•
Be aware of the following:
–
You must upgrade CiscoWorks Common Services 2.2 before upgrading any other applications, except nGenius Real-Time Monitor 1.4 Service Pack 6.
–
Once you have upgraded CiscoWorks Common Services 2.2, you must upgrade each LMS 1.3 application separately. While it is strongly recommended that you follow the "Order of Upgrade" section, you can upgrade the other applications of LMS 1.3 in any order.
Prerequisites
This section describes the factors that you should consider before upgrading LMS 1.3.
Ensure you complete the following tasks before upgrade:
Step 1
Install required operating system upgrades. See "Server and Client System Requirements" section.
Step 2
Install required service packs. See "Server and Client System Requirements" section.
Step 3
Read "Important Upgrade Notes" section.
Important Upgrade Notes
This section contains important information that you should read before you begin upgrade:
•
To ensure that you retain the latest device support and bug fixes for Resource Manager Essentials and Campus Manager, you must install the latest Incremental Device Updates (IDU). For download locations, see "Additional Information Online" section.
Install IDU after upgrading the application.
•
CiscoWorks applications are installed in the default directories:
–
On Solaris: /opt/CSCOpx
–
On Windows: SystemDrive:\Program Files\CSCOpx
If you select another directory during upgrade, the application is installed in that directory.
•
On Solaris, if you select an upgrade directory different from the default, the /opt/CSCOpx directory is created as a link to the directory you selected. If you remove the link after upgrade, the product might malfunction.
•
On Solaris, if errors occur during upgrade, check the upgrade log file /var/tmp/ciscoinstall.log.
On Windows, if errors occur during upgrade, check the upgrade log in the root directory on the drive where the operating system is installed. Each upgrade creates a new log file. For example, the CiscoWorks Common Services upgrade creates SystemDrive:\CiscoWorks_setupxxx.log, where xxx is the log file for the last CiscoWorks application upgraded.
•
You can press Ctrl-C (on Solaris) or click Cancel (on Windows) at any time to end the upgrade. However, any changes to your system (for example, installation of new files or changes to system files) will not be undone.
On Solaris, we do not recommend ending the upgrade, using Ctrl-C. You will be required to manually cleanup the installation directories.
•
If you want to use secure access between the client browser and the management server, you can enable or disable SSL from the CiscoWorks desktop.
If SSL is enabled:
–
The URL begins with https instead of http to indicate a secure connection.
–
The port number succeeding the server name is 1742 instead of 1741.
You cannot enable SSL on the CiscoWorks Server if there is an application that is not SSL-compliant installed on the Server.
For help with SSL, consult the User Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services 2.2.
You can find the User Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services 2.2:
–
On Cisco.com, in both HTML and PDF form.
Log into Cisco.com. Select Products and Services > Network Management CiscoWorks > CiscoWorks CiscoView > Instructions and Guides > User Guide Books > User Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services 2.2
–
On the CiscoWorks Common Services 2.2 (includes CiscoView) CD-ROM, in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
From the CD-ROM root directory, look for \\Documentation\UserGuideForCommonServices.pdf
•
Network inconsistencies might cause installation errors if you are upgrading from a remote mount point.
•
Applications not supported by CiscoWorks Common Services 2.2 are disabled during upgrade.
•
If your CiscoWorks Management Server is integrated with any Network Management Station (NMS) in your network using the integration utility (Network Management Integration Module), you must perform the integration every time when you enable or disable SSL in the CiscoWorks CiscoWorks Common Services 2.2 Server. You must do this to update the application registration in the NMS.
For help with NMS integration, consult the section "Integrating with Third-Party Vendors" section in Using CiscoView 5.5. You can find this document:

For nGenius Real-Time Monitor
This section contains important information specific to nGenius Real-Time Monitor that you should read before you begin upgrade.
•
nGenius Real-Time Monitor is not SSL compliant.
•
nGenius Real-Time Monitor is installed in the default directories:
–
On Solaris: /opt/NetScout
–
On Windows: SystemDrive:\NetScout
•
We recommend that you install nGenius Real-Time Monitor on a separate server for optimal performance.
For more information, see the Supplement and Release Notes for NetScout nGenius Real-Time Monitor Release 1.4 Service Pack 6.
•
If CiscoWorks and nGenius Real-Time Monitor are installed on different systems, or if nGenius was installed before CiscoWorks, you must manually copy the Cisco Management Connection (CMC) files to the location specified in the CiscoWorks installation.
After the CMC files are in place, you must reboot the system for the changes to take effect. Then, when you select nGenius Server, Traffic Monitor, Packet Analyzer, or Voice Monitor, an nGenius graphic is displayed in the main CiscoWorks window (Management Connection) and the selected application starts.
The nGenius system administrator can create the same users and apply the same privileges from CiscoWorks to the nGenius system. See Supplement and Release Notes for NetScout nGenius Real-Time Monitor Release 1.4 Service Pack 6 for details.

Technical Assistance Center
The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC website and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center. The avenue of support that you choose depends on the priority of the problem and the conditions stated in service contracts, when applicable.
We categorize Cisco TAC inquiries according to urgency:
•
Priority level 4 (P4)-You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.
•
Priority level 3 (P3)-Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.
•
Priority level 2 (P2)-Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.
•
Priority level 1 (P1)-Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.
Cisco TAC Website
You can use the Cisco TAC website to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC website, go to this URL:
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC website. Some services on the Cisco TAC website require a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to this URL to register:
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
If you are a Cisco.com registered user, and you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC website, you can open a case online at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/index.html
If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC website so that you can describe the situation in your own words and attach any necessary files.
Cisco TAC Escalation Center
The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2 issues. These classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer automatically opens a case.
To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml
Before calling, please check with your network operations center to determine the level of Cisco support services to which your company is entitled: for example, SMARTnet, SMARTnet Onsite, or Network Supported Accounts (NSA). When you call the center, please have available your service agreement number and your product serial number.
