Hi,
There are a few things that you need to be aware of:
- This version of Prime Infrastructure (2.2 )does not offer an in-place upgrade
- The only supported upgrade path is to restore a backup from any of the below PI versions onto PI 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
- License files can be found under /opt/CSCOlumos/licenses/. (they should be automatically moved to the new server, they are no longer node locked on this new version)
The migration steps are as follows:
1. Take an Application backup from the CLI (I would suggest to have at least two application backups).
backup <filename> repository <repo_name> application NCS
2. Install PI 2.2 on the new VM/Appliance
3. Once you have successfully installed the OVA/ISO, upload the backup file to the appliance and proceed with the backup restore.
* restore <filename> repository <repo_name> application NCS

Cisco PI 2.2 Release notes
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-2/release/notes/cpi_rn.html
See steps below to upgrade to from PI 2.0 to PI 2.1
1. Always take a backup before upgrading
- backup <filename> repository defaultRepo application NCS
2. If you have an HA setup, it's important to note that HA must be REMOVED (not just disabled) prior to starting an upgrade. Administration > High Availability > HA Configuration > Remove button.
3. Once you have a backup proceed with the upgrade of the application.
- application upgrade PI-Upgrade-2.1.0.0.87.tar.gz <repository>
Note that moving from 2.0. to 2.1 does not require a patch before running the upgrade.

Note that the PI 2.2 server has to be running the same OVA as the one deployed on the older version. If you are not sure which OVA was deployed run the below commands from the CLI and compare against the 'Server Requirements ' section on the PI 2.x quick start guide.
show memory
show disk
show cpu
Hope it helps!
