vWLC in NCS

Hello community,

Does anybody know when the NCS will support a vWLC? At the moment it is still an "unknown device".

And there is no NCS version update out yet.

Regards,

Sebastian Wieseler

You already have a vWLC running????

Amazing!

NCS update for the vWLC should be out by the end of the year 2012.

Yep! It runs quite good

And thanks for the information! I guessed the NCS would be out earlier with the vWLC support.

And rumour has it that the number of AP support will grow with future updates.

Yep. Access Points in local mode are not supported, so it should be less load for the vWLC.
But it's quite comfortable that Cisco gives you a test license with 200 supported Access Points for almost 9 weeks.

Have you upgraded to PI 1.2. I believe that supports vWLC.

In the "download area" of cisco.com you only have the choice between 1.1 and 1.0. There is no 1.2

If your upgrading from 1.1, you need to install the upgrade patch then the upgrade bundle 1.2.

Thanks,

Remember, that Prime Infrastructure is replacing NCS, that is why its not in the NCS download area.

Make sense.

Just make sure you follow the upgrade instruction. PI 1.2 will support any 7.3 code versions.

Thanks Scott. I'm reading the document link you've posted and, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't need VMware to install this software.

Did I read this correctly?

I guess if you have the appliance, but if you have NCS running on VMware you can patch the version you have and then install the upgrade bundle.

What if it's a fresh install on a generic server?

Well I would think you need vm unless you run red hat Linux enterprise.

No problem with RH. VMware, however, is gonna be dirty fight.

Worst case scenario: Buy a VM host and our team manages it.

Hello.

I followed the instructions of the Quick Start Guide but after "application upgrade" I cannot login into my NCS login page.

Changing to the root shell and looking into /opt/CSCOlumos/logs/ncs-0-0.log showed me the error:

ERROR [aaa] [http-443-2] Exception occurred org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UsernameNotFoundException: Cannot find user: root

Changing the NCS root password on the CLI worked fine! Without any error messages. But I still get the error that the user root is not found anymore. (Any other created users by myself from the past do not work as well...)

I also tried rebooting the whole virtual system... without any success.

Does anybody tried the upgrade process here too and figured out similar errors?
