Hello!
I´ve spent the last few days trying to get the 2.2 up and running. After multiple re do´s I´m at a loss how to further proceed.
I took a backup from our existing vmbased 2.1.2 (backup ... application NCS..) and then restored it to the new 2.2 VMWARE installation.
the log says that everything worked:

then I Resynced everything, wlc config, switch config, cleared browser cache, And restarted. The good point: The data is all there! Everything! Maps, ap locations, everything! I was baffeled. I wasn´t really used for restores on NCS/Prime going so well :D Thinking all is well, I started furthur in. And noticed that every client. Every 7300 of them was disassociated. If I choose a client that I know is on the network (my laptop..) it always says disassociated, and the last time seen was the time of the backup. Ok might need a while. Let it sit over night. STILL NOTHING.. If you click on the check box to show the client details, troubleshoot or anything - you just get the spinning cursor and nothing shows up. If you go in the maps, and click on a ap, then click on the client count - spinning cursor. Everything that has to do with current data - spinning cursor.
Then I restarted. Fresh 2.2 installation. Added a few devices, just to see that the data collection really works. And YEAH it did! So I thought it might be a problem with maybe the devices not being in the database, jada jada jada. So I imported a 100 devices with the discovery function. Which is working really well. And THEN I restored the backup, again all successful, and all data is there.
and this morning - still no current data available.
Has anybody come across this? and how do I solve this? I will be opening a tac too, but I was hoping you guys are faster :D
thanks alot for your help!

I love to see that 2.2 has been granted mind reading abilities. After I complained here, I restarted and resynced again.. and now.. ehm. it works. No Idea what I did different this time :(( But it seems to be working now.
The last attempt was to add devices before the restore.. and then 3-4 resyncs, and 2 restarts..
