Hi Rafael,
You would need to installed the PI as a new installed and data migration is not possible from LMS to PI .
Only a few things can be migrated like
Device Credential and Repository (DCR) Devices etc..
Check the below link for data migration between LMS and PI ::

Hi Afroz,

Thank you so much !!!

Adding to Afroz's correct answer:
Prime Infrastructure (PI) licenses are offered as an available "upgrade" part number for customers with LMS 4.x. That's not the actual action necessary - one only migrates LMS device and credential repository (DCR) and then only if desired.
Prime Infrastructure is a new installation on a new dedicated server (a VM hosted on ESXi usually although a hardware appliance option is also offered).
FYI for a new installation you should start with PI 2.2.

Hi,
Next week I will to talk whith the customer and see what options are updating and installation.
These are the licenses purchased presales department.
We think that these licenses we can install a new PI 2.1 and migrate DCR to lms 4.2 (DCR) becouse have licenses but are not sure.
thanks.

Hi ,
you can use the below license for PI 2.1, this should work fine.
L-PI2X-BASE 1 Prime Infrastructure 2.x Base License
L-L-PI2X-100-U and you can use the Life cycle license to add devices count.
Thanks-
Afroz

The device export CSV/XLS file from LMS is not the same as the CSV file used by CPI, so I suggest that you export the devices from LMS, then export the device import template from CPI. Open both files in Excel and do the necessary customizations to make the device list from LMS fit into the import template that CPI requires. It should just be a matter of rearranging a few rows and pasting them into the CPI import template.
As Marvin mentioned earlier, go for CPI 2.2. There's no reason to use 2.1 or 2.0. You will save yourself a lot of trouble when you want to upgrade to the next version as you cannot do an inline upgrade to 2.2.

Hi Mikael,
Ok, thanks for the suggestions. We will keep in our mind when we will install it.

Prime LMS 4.2.2 added support for the PI template directly:
Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution supports data migration to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. This feature enables user to export the Device Credentials Repository (DCR) data from LMS 4.2.x versions to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. The data backup status and backup location are displayed at the bottom of the Export Data for Prime Infrastructure page. The data being exported from LMS and the data imported back to PI are listed as follows.
•Device Credentials Repository (DCR)
•Software Image Management
•Config Archive
•Change Audit
•Syslog
Device Credentials Repository

Wasn't aware of this. Thumbs-up to Cisco for that.
