Migrating Data from Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 to Cisco Digital Network Architecture Center
Follow this procedure to access the Cisco Prime Infrastructure to Cisco DNA Center migration by logging in to Cisco Prime Infrastructure:
Procedure
Step 1 |
Click Cisco DNA Center coexistence in the Mega Menu page. You can also launch Cisco DNA Center coexistence from the Getting Started page. Choose Settings > Getting Started > Cisco DNA Center coexistence, and then click Launch Cisco DNA Center coexistence to open Prime Infrastructure - Cisco DNA Center Coexistence page. |
||||
Step 2 |
Click Add Cisco DNA Center Server. |
||||
Step 3 |
Enter the following Cisco DNA Center server details:
|
||||
Step 4 |
Click Save, to check server reachability. |
||||
Step 5 |
Click Next to go to Sync Settings. |
||||
Step 6 |
In the Sync Settings window: |
||||
Step 7 |
Click Next to go to the Select Groups page. |
||||
Step 8 |
In the Select Groups window: Expand the Usage Details section to view a summary of the site and device count details such as Recommended, Selected for Migration, and Available. If you click the Close or Cancel buttons in the Cisco DNA Center Site Groups window, the window closes without selecting any groups for migration and the Group Movement Log pane is not updated with the selected groups. After you move the groups from Prime Infrastructure to Cisco DNA Center, Marked for Migration label appears on the moved groups. Already migrated groups from Prime Infrastructure to Cisco DNA Center appear with the label as Migrated in the Prime Infrastructure Location Groups pane as well as the Group Movement Log pane. The count of selected groups for migration appears as Selected for Migration under Sites. The count of selected devices for migration appears as Selected for Migration under Devices in Usage details. Available groups count in Cisco DNA Center appears in the Available section under Sites and available devices count in Cisco DNA Center appears in the Available section under Devices in Usage details. The Prime Infrastructure Location Groups pane lists all the Cisco Prime Infrastructure groups irrespective of any virtual domain.
To create sites directly in Cisco DNA Center so that you can move your sites from Prime Infrastructure to Cisco DNA Center, click DNAC Site Builder. In the DNAC Site Builder window, if you select the Area radio button, enter the following information:
In the DNAC Site Builder window, if you select the Building radio button to create a building in the Cisco DNA Center Area, enter the following information:
Click Add to create a site or building in Cisco DNA Center. |
||||
Step 9 |
Click Next. |
||||
Step 10 |
In the ISE & CMX Credentials window: |
||||
Step 11 |
If you check the Migrate User Defined CLI Templates check box in the Sync Settings page, then a new page Select CLI Templates appears after the CMX page. |
||||
Step 12 |

||||
Step 13 |
Click Next. |
||||
Step 14 |
In the Summary window:
|
||||
Step 15 |
Click Force Sync to push data to the Cisco DNA Center server after the first migration. A confirmation message appears DNAC data will be overwritten by PI data by the Force Sync. Click Yes to proceed or No to stop Force Sync. A success message appears after the successful completion of the Force Sync operation. |
What to do next
-
If you want to revert the site hierarchy in Cisco DNA Center, uncheck the migrated groups in the Prime Data Migration tool and click Force Sync. This step deletes the migrated groups in Cisco DNA Center.
If you want to revert the device assignment (devices will be unassigned from Cisco DNA Center sites and assigned to migrated groups if the same devices are present both in Cisco Prime Infrastructure groups and Cisco DNA Center sites), perform the following steps:
-
Uncheck the migrated groups in the Prime Data Migration tool and click Force Sync. This step deletes the migrated groups and devices in Cisco DNA Center.
-
Add and assign or provision the devices in Cisco DNA Center in the required sites.
The pre-migration site hierarchy appears in Cisco DNA Center.
To migrate your Cisco Prime Infrastructure data again, unassign the devices in Cisco Prime Infrastructure for the required groups and migrate the data.

-
Prime Infrastructure provides Multi-DNAC support. This feature allows you to migrate to multiple DNAC clusters (one DNAC server at a time) and retain the migration data for each DNAC server. For more information, see Multi-DNAC Support.
