Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release
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.
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.
d. (Optional) To view the copied file in the local repository, enter the following command:
e. Execute patch install command:
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 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.
