When installing and upgrading to Cisco TMS 13.1, Cisco recommends upgrading the Device
Provisioning and VCS Database components on the Cisco VCS. The VCS must be running or
upgraded to X5.1.1 before installing these components. This can be done on the Cisco VCS by
going to Maintenance > Upgrade and selecting the relevant upgrade component file. The files for
these components (*.tlp files) can be found on the zip file. Replication between the Cisco TMS and
Cisco VCS(s) should be disabled when upgrading these components.
Note: The TMS Agent components (Device Provisioning and VCS Database) contained on VCS
X5.2 equate to the TMS Agent components in TMS 12.6 and 13.1. Therefore, it is not necessary to
upgrade these components on a VCS running X5.2.
During initial Cisco TMS 13.1 installs, the Enable TMS Agents found under Administrative Tools >
General Settings is now set to No by default. To enable the TMS Agent in the Cisco TMS, the
administrator must set this to Yes. Cisco recommends that after setting the Enable TMS Agents to
Yes in the Cisco TMS, that the administrator confirm that the Local TMS Agent in the TMS Agent
Diagnostics shows no errors and that all diagnostic tests are in the green. The TMS Agent
Diagnostics can be found under Administrator Tools > TMS Agent Diagnostics. If any errors are
found on the Local TMS Agent, then these errors need to be fixed before proceeding with replication
to the Cisco VCS(s). Refer to the Diagnostic section within the Provisioning Deployment Guide for
13.1 and X5.1.1 for troubleshooting any errors found on the Local TMS Agent or contact your local
Cisco partner or customer support for assistance.
