Cisco Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 Guia Da Instalação

This version of Prime Infrastructure does not offer an in-place upgrade. To upgrade to the latest version, you must instead install 
this version of Prime Infrastructure as a virtual appliance on a fresh server, or order it pre-installed on a fresh physical appliance. 
You can then migrate your data from your old Prime Infrastructure installation to the new one, using an application backup 
from the previous installation.

If you are currently using one of the following versions of Prime Infrastructure, you can back up your existing data and then 
restore that data to a different server running Prime Infrastructure 2.2:

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1.2 (with the UBF patch)

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1.1 (with the UBF patch)

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1.0.0.87

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.4.2

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.4.1

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.4.0.45

If you are using a version earlier than 1.4.0.45 or 2.1.0.0.87, you will need to upgrade your server to version 2.1.0.0.87 (or 
version 1.4.0.45) before taking the backup. 

If you are running multiple versions of Prime Infrastructure from which you want to migrate data, see 

.

Remember that backups can only be restored to a new Prime Infrastructure server that is the same size or bigger than your 
previous server. See 

To back up your data from a previous supported version of Prime Infrastructure, follow these steps:

If you have not already done so: Set up a remote backup repository for the Prime Infrastructure version you are 
currently running. For details, see 

.

Take an application backup of the Prime Infrastructure version you are currently running, and store the backup in the 
remote repository. For details, see 

in the 

.

Verify the integrity of the backup as explained in 

.

If you are running multiple previous releases of Prime Infrastructure (for example, you are running version 1.4.x and version 
2.1.x), you must select one version from which to restore data. You cannot restore data from more than one Prime Infrastructure 
version. To combine data from multiple Prime Infrastructure versions:

Perform the restore operation for one Prime Infrastructure system running a previous Prime Infrastructure version. See 

.

Export your device inventory and maps from other Prime Infrastructure systems and import the information into the Prime 
Infrastructure 2.2 system.

You should check the validity of your Prime Infrastructure backup data by setting up an additional Prime Infrastructure server 
(either a spare Prime Infrastructure appliance or a new Prime Infrastructure virtual machine) and perform the restore operation 
as explained in 

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 Administrator Guide

. If you do not 

have an additional Prime Infrastructure system to validate the backup, take at least two backups to reduce the risk of losing data.

If the restore operation does not work, or there are problems with the backed up image, try taking another backup from a 
production system, or try restoring from an earlier Prime Infrastructure backup.

If you cannot create a verified backup before installing this version of Prime Infrastructure, open a support case with Cisco TAC.
