Installation Guidelines

The following sections explain how to install the maintenance release.

Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release

Caution Once you install this maintenance release, you cannot un-install or remove it.

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 3.2 backup, restore the backup on Prime Infrastructure 3.2 server before applying the Maintenance Release 3.2.2.

Similarly, if you are running Prime Infrastructure 3.2 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 3.2 Administrator Guide .

To restore the backup of the Prime Infrastructure 3.2 installation, follow these steps:

1. Install Prime Infrastructure 3.2 from an OVA or ISO distribution.

2. Install the patch file:

a. Download the InstallerUpdateBE-1.0.5.tar.gz .

b. Log in to Prime Infrastructure server admin console using SSH session. For more information see the section Opening the CLI with Secure Shell in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.2 Command Reference Guide .

c. To copy the downloaded patch file to the default local repository use the following command.

admin# copy sftp://<localserver with sftp>//opt//InstallerUpdateBE-1.0.5.tar.gz
disk://defaultRepo

d. (Optional) To view the copied file in the local repository, enter the following command:

admin# show repo defaultRepo

e. Execute patch install command:

admin# patch install InstallerUpdateBE-1.0.5.tar.gz defaultRepo

f. When prompted, enter Yes for the following questions:

Save the current ADE-OS running configuration? (yes/no) [yes]: yes

Proceed with the patch install? (yes/no) [yes]: yes

3. Clear the Cache and log in to Prime Infrastructure GUI again and proceed with the Prime Infrastructure 3.2.2 upload.

If you are installing this maintenance release as part of a High Availability (HA) implementation, see Before You Begin Setting Up High Availability in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.2 Administrator Guide .

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

Step 9 You can verify the maintenance 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 maintenance release in the Updates tab, with Installed in the Status column.

 

Installing the Maintenance Release from Local Storage

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

Make sure that you have completed the recommended preparation steps (installing the patch file InstallerUpdateBE-1.0.5.tar.gz) given in Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release.

To install Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.2.2 from the local storage, follow these steps:

Step 1 Download the Prime Infrastructure 3.2.2 Maintenance Release PI_3_2_2-1.0.13.ubf from Home > Products > Cloud and Systems Management > Routing and Switching Management > Network Management Solutions > Prime Infrastructure > Prime Infrastructure 3.2 > Prime Infrastructure Patches-3.2.2 and save the file in your local system.

Installing the Maintenance Release in High Availability Mode

Download the Prime Infrastructure 3.2.2 Maintenance Release PI_3_2_2-1.0.13.ubf from Home > Products > Cloud and Systems Management > Routing and Switching Management > Network Management Solutions > Prime Infrastructure > Prime Infrastructure 3.2 > Prime Infrastructure Patches-3.2.2 and save the file in your local system .

To install the downloaded Prime Infrastructure 3.2.2 Maintenance Release PI_3_2_2-1.0.13.ubf in High Availability mode follow the below steps:

Note Prime Infrastructure 3.2.2 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 3.2.2 when HA is enabled.

  • If you are installing Cisco Prime Infrastructure Maintenance Release 3.2.2 on High Availability (HA) paired servers, you will get the following error message:

 

For more details, see Remove HA Via the GUI in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure3.2 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 3.2 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 3.2 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 Command Reference Guide for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.2.

 

Renewing AAA Settings After Installing a New Prime Infrastructure Version

If you are using external RADIUS or TACACS+ user authentication, before migrating your existing data to a new version of Prime Infrastructure, you must transfer the expanded Prime Infrastructure user task list to your AAA server. After you upgrade Prime Infrastructure, you must re-add any permissions on the TACACS+ or RADIUS server and update the roles in your TACACS server with the tasks from the Prime Infrastructure server. For more details, Configure External Authentication section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.2 Administrator Guide.

Migrating from Previous Releases of Cisco Prime Infrastructure
