Upgrade questions about Prime Infrastructure 1.1.1.24 to 1.3

[sstephens1]

               My existing NCS is installed with the small deployment and I'll have a total of 94 AP's but we are installing a new data center and replacing the existing 2 WISM blades for 2 new 5508 WLCs and added 20 more AP'S which will total 114 AP's and 4 controllers. The old WISMs blades and new 5508s will be up together until we migrate exisitng AP's to the new 5508s, so do I need to install the medium deployment since Table for Scaling Prime Infrastructure states:

Medium: 500 Total. The mix of devices may included up to:

     Wired devices: 300

     Controllers: 5

     Autonomous AP's: 300

     Unified AP's: 300

Small Deployments are for a total of 250 devices "with up to" 100 Unified AP's and 2 controllers?? 

Also as part of the download of software for PI 1.3 it   includes Automated Deployment Gateway is this a required piece to install for PI??  We don't use Cisco works so I'm not installing the LMS piece. 

thank you,

Sandra

Hi rob,

It appears the upgrade worked or atleast I can logon to the Prime 1.3 web gui.

I wanted to test changing some setting on 2 Ap's via the Sechedule config Tasks->Lightweight AP Templates.  I wanted to update the Primary and Seconday controller (Wism 7.235.xx.)   I got this error message when I tried to Save it or Apply it:

thanks for any Help.

K, So you have 1.3.0.20 installed.

Do apply the latest patch?

Please login to the CLI and run a show version and a show application

[Rob Johnson]

How about a show application?

[Rob Johnson]

Update patch 4-16 is on it's way...

PI_1_3_0_20-Update.4-16.tar.gz

Can the patch be installed via ssh or do I need to console in?

thanks

Sandra

[Rob Johnson]

ssh would work fine.

I downloaded the patched on 2 different pc and when I tftp it to the PI server is fails.  the size shows a difference under properties: 14,963,397 for size and size on PC i 14,966,784.

Hi rob,

I hope you went home but I thought, I should try to use IE instead of Firefox to use Prime  and guess what it worked!! I was using firefox version 26 which I guess is why it failed when we tested out making changes to the AP's. 

So I won't fall back to NCS version I was on. 

thanks again for all your help!

Isn't it rediculous the message says:::

Error(s): You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:

Error:Unknown Exception Occurred. If the problem persists send logs to Tech Support.

And the fix is to use a different browser?

BTW:: Good Idea to try a different browser.  By the looks of the Error Msg, it just didn't look like a browser issue to me so I didn't think to do that but certainly will next time on this and probably many, many, many other issues I see-

We only spent about an hour chasing our tails around to see what the issue was.

Again good catch!

I was speaking w/ another customer today who mentioned if the application were re-written to use HTML 5 these type problems would go away.

Oh well.

Glad I could help you get all the way upgraded and all the way up and running and able to push templates to your lightweight APs.
