Cisco Cisco Wireless Control System Version 4.0

If WCS is configured to use TACACS+ or RADIUS for external authentication, the custom 
vendor attribute list should be updated in the TACACS+ or RADIUS server with any new 
permissions. The attribute list for the appropriate UserGroup can be found at Administration > 
AAA > UserGroups. Click the Export link for the appropriate user group. Refer to Chapter 14 
of the Cisco Wireless Control System Configuration Guide for additional information regarding 
upgrading.

Follow these steps to upgrade WCS (on a Linux platform) using the automated upgrade:

Using the command line, perform one of the following:

If you are installing from a CD, switch to the /media/cdrom directory.

If you are installing from Cisco.com, switch to the directory in which the install file was 
downloaded. For example, if the install file was placed in /root/Desktop, enter cd /root/Desktop.

Enter ./WCS-STANDARD-K9-6.0.X.Y.bin (for CD users) or 
./WCS-STANDARD-LB-K9-6-0-X-Y.bin (for Cisco.com users) to start the install script.

The Install Anywhere message appears and prepares the system for installation. After a few seconds, the 
Introduction appears, followed by the license agreement statement. You must accept the license 
agreement to continue.

At this point, the install wizard detects whether a previous version of WCS is installed and specifies 
whether the current version is eligible for an automated upgrade. You receive a notification whether or 
not your most recent WCS version is eligible for the automated upgrade. 

If you cannot continue to the automated upgrade because your current WCS version is not eligible, 
choose Install and continue to the manual upgrade (refer to the WCS Configuration Guide for manual 
upgrade instructions). You can also choose to do a manual upgrade rather than the recommended 
automated upgrade by choosing Install and continuing to the manual upgrade, but this is not 
recommended. If your current WCS version is eligible for the recommended automated upgrade, choose 
Upgrade and continue to Step 6. 

Several of the values from the previous installation are retained and carried over as part of the upgrade. 
These include the following:

the ports

the root password

the root FTP password

the TFTP server file location

the FTP server file location

the multi-homed server interfaces

Choose a folder in which to install the Cisco WCS. It must be a different location than the previous 
installation. Click Next to continue.

Choose a folder location to store the shortcuts. It must be a different location than the previous 
installation.
