Cisco Cisco Prime Network Control System Appliance Release Notes

If NCS is already installed and connected, verify the software release by choosing Help > About Cisco 
NCS. To find more information on the software release that NCS is running, see the Cisco Prime 
Network Control System Configuration Guide, Release 1.0.

You must upgrade your Cisco WCS deployment to Release 7.0.164.3 or 7.0.172.0 or 7.0.220.0 
before you attempt to perform the migration process to NCS 1.0.2.29.

This section provides instructions for migrating the WCS on either a Windows or Linux server to NCS. 
The NCS release is a major release to provide for converged management of wired and wireless devices, 
and increased scalability. The NCS platform is based on Linux 64 bit OS, and the backend database is 
Oracle DBMS. The existing WCS platforms are either Windows or Linux 32 bit and the backend 
database is Solid DB.

This section contains the following topics:

For steps on migrating NCS in a high availability environment, see Chapter 4, “Performing Maintenance 
Operations” of the Cisco Prime Network Control System Configuration Guide, Release 1.0.

There is no GUI for exporting data from WCS 7.x. The export userdata CLI command is 
available in WCS Release 7.x and later, which creates the .zip file containing the individual data 
file. The CLI does not provide any option to customize what can be exported; all non-global 
user-defined items are exported.

To export WCS data, follow these steps:

Stop the WCS server.

Run the export command through the script file and provide the path and export filename when 
prompted.

You can find the export script at: <Installation Directory>\WCS7.0.x.x\bin (for Windows) or 
<Installation Directory>/WCS7.0.x.x/bin (for Linux).
