As Cisco Prime Infrastructure continues to increase its market share as a preferred Network Management Application to manage Cisco's Wired and Wireless Infrastructure, Cisco is focussed to evolve it for its maturity and stability.
With this in mind, Cisco keeps on Releasing planned updated packages which has support for new devices and critical bug fixes found and filed with previous major release.
What made me write this document to share information on Prime Infrastructure 2.1.2 is available are following reasons :
1. Issues with PI 2.1.1 where it has some ambiguity (CSCup89410) and the major one where the updated version is not reflected properly on show version or PI GUI (CSCup78886).
2. Finding PI 2.1.2 is not easy on Cisco.com download page.
This is a patch release for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1. You can install this patch release on top of your existing Prime Infrastructure 2.1 installation or Prime Infrastructure 2.1.1 patch.
NOTE : Once you install this patch, you cannot un-install or remove it.
Because the patch is not removable, it is important to have a way to revert your system to the original version in case hardware or software problems cause the patch installation to fail.
To ensure you can do this, take a backup of your system before downloading and installing this UBF patch.
To revert to the original Prime Infrastructure 2.1 installation, follow these steps:
1. Reinstall Prime Infrastructure 2.1 from an OVA or ISO distribution.
2. Restore the data from the backup that you made before applying the patch.
Similarly, if you are running Prime Infrastructure 2.1 in a Virtual Machine (VM) and your organization permits taking VM snapshots, use the VMware client to take a VM snapshot before applying this patch. Store the snapshot in an external storage repository, and restore from the snapshot if the patch is unsuccessful.
