Cisco-Prime 2.1

[thusharadennis]

Hi Team,

We are running with Cisco prime  appliance(hardware)2.1 version  and we found many bugs in the versions.

so we planned to upgrade the Prime appliance to 2.2 version .and we have taken the prime appliance back in the local drive of the disk of the device.

Suggest us...... Is it safe for going for the upgrade without retrieving the appliance back up from the (disk ) device to the laptop.

We have taken the running configuration and the start up configuration . Is it good enough for going for the upgrade to the next version.

Also we have integrated round 2600+plus in the prime. whether all the devices will be same as before upgradation?

Hi TD,

I would suggest you to take both the backup ::

Application and appliance backups

Prime Infrastructure creates two types of backups:

• Application backups: These contain all Prime Infrastructure application data, but do not include host-specific settings, such as the server hostname and IP address.
• Appliance backups: These contain all application data and host-specific settings, including the hostname, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

Note that:

• Application and appliance backups can be taken from both virtual and hardware appliances.
• Either type of backup can be restored to the same or a new host, as long as the new host has the same hardware and software configuration as the host from which the backup was taken.
• You can only restore an application or appliance backup to a host running the same version of the Prime Infrastructure server software as the server from which the backup was taken.
• You cannot restore an application backup using the appliance restore command, nor can you restore an appliance backup using the application backup command.
