We are currently using Cisco Prime 1.3. We need to upgrade to atleast 2.0, preferably 2.2. Is there a path to perform this upgrade without issue or can you just go from 1.3 to 2.2? Also, is there a document on the process somewhere? Thanks for all of your help!

Hi culreich,
You need to know that Prime Infrastructure 2.2 does not offer an in-place upgrade.
Since you are in Prime 1.3 first you need to upgrade to Prime 2.1 before migrating all the database to 2.2.
From Prime 1.3 to 2.1 you are allow to do an-line upgrade but first you need to install a patch.
Here is the upgrade procedure :
* Download the patch "PI_1_3_0_20-Update.4-16.tar.gz" from the following link: (check first if you have it installed )
https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284652876&softwareid=284272933&release=1.3.0
* Copy the patch file to PI 1.3 server under /localdisk/defaultRepo directory .
* From the PI 1.3 CLI in admin mode, use the following command to install the patch:
patch install PI_1_3_0_20-Update.4-16.tar.gz defaultRepo
* Use the following command to take backup from PI 1.3 :
backup <backup-name> repository defaultRepo application NCS
- you will find the backup under /localdisk/defaultRepo .
Put the backup in save place out of the server .
* To perform the upgrade, please download the upgrade patch "PI-Upgrade-2.1.0.0.87.tar.gz" :
https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284540974&flowid=50202&softwareid=284272932&release=2.1&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
* Put the "PI-Upgrade-2.1.0.0.87.tar.gz" patch in /localdisk/defaultRepo/ directory .
* from the server CLI in admin mode use the following command :
application upgrade PI-upgrade-bundle-2.1.0.0.87.tar.gz defaultRepo
once you have done this, your Prime version will be 2.1. From here if you want to migrate your data to Prime 2.2 you need to do the following:
- install Prime 2.2 in a new fresh server
-take a backup in Prime 2.1
backup <backup-name> repository defaultRepo application NCS
-restore that backup in Prime 2.2
restore filename repository repositoryName application NCS
after that your Prime 2.2 wil have all your date, including your licenses as well.
Hope it helps!
