4 Upgrading Executives Running 
MySQL Replication 
Below describes what’s needed to upgrade Executives utilizing MySQL Replication.  
Before you begin, please arrange a time where users do not need access to the IPAM GUI. 
This will assure a smooth upgrade of both Executives running MySQL Replication. Since the 
MySQL database is replaced during an upgrade of IPAM, MySQL Replication will need to be 
re-initialized again after the upgrade of both Executives. The flow to upgrade Executives 
running MySQL Replication is to upgrade the Primary Executive first, then the Slave 
Executive, then initiate MySQL Replication.  
If the MySQL Replication upgrade cannot be performed immediately after the first upgrade, 
you can continue normal practice against the Primary Executive until such time you can apply 
Replication again. Just be aware that you are running without database replication until then.  
Follow the instructions below for Executive upgrades on both the Primary and Slave 
Executives. When finished upgrading both systems, please refer to section 2 of the Cisco 
Prime Network Registrar IPAM Replication User Guide to apply MySQL Replication to 
IPAM 8.3 to entirely complete the upgrade process.  
The following sections need to be followed to ensure a successful upgrade of Executives with 
MySQL Replication: 
Preliminary Steps prior to MySQL Replication Upgrade
