ACS 3.0 migration to 4.1

[saxenanitesh8522]

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade ACS in Windows 3.0 to ACS 4.1.

I want to know the steps which are required to do this migration and secondly when i tried it before it keep on saying not enough disk space enough though i have 25GB of hard-disk.

I want to back up everything in ACS 3.0 if by any change my migration doesnt go as planned. what are the steps for this?

Please if you can help me out?

Hi,

First of all, if you are planning an upgrade, I would advise to go to some version which is still supported .

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps5712/ps2086/end_of_life_notice_c51-477947.html.

4.1 will reach end of support by November this year...

Regarding the upgrade itself, i advise you to read carefully the upgrade guide for the path you have to follow from 3.0 to 4.1 or higher:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.1/release/notes/RNacs41.html#wp116506.

Basically you will need to follow the upgrade path: 3.0 -> 3.0.4 -> 3.3.3 -> 4.1.

Unfortunately, these are very old versions, so unless you have them somehow... you will need to open a TAC case so that TAC can provide you with these software.

HTH,
Tiago

Hi,

Can't i directly upgrade from 3.0 to 4.1?

Please let me know if i do it directly?

Hi,

As I said previously, if you want to preserve the data, no you can't.

As documented on the Release notes, you MUST follow the supported upgrade paths.

HTH,

Nope you cannot. As mentioned by Tiago you need to follow the path: 3.0 -> 3.0.4 -> 3.3.3 -> 4.1.
