Upgrading WCS 7 to Cisco Prime (CPI) 2

[davidmesquita]

Hello,

I have read a few article and posts about upgrading WCS 7 to CPI 1.2 via NCS. However now with Prime 2.0 I was hopping I didn't have to use NCS.

I can't find any migration guides or documents about migrating to 2.0 instead of 1.x.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Direct migration from WCS 7.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 is NOT possible.

in my work I had this problem.
the only solution was to first install the NCS 1.1, after the patch 1.1.1.24 and then migrate to 2.0

Backup WCS data , upgrade to NCS 1.1  and restore de data...

install patch 1.1.1.24 , only then you can do the upgrade to version 2

CISCO:
"We strongly recommend upgrading your WCS to 7.0.230.0 (for data integrity) or higher before attempting to migrate to NCS.

Users will first need to do an intermediary migration to NCS 1.1.1.24, and then do an inline upgrade (or migration) to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0"

Thank you Tiago for this.

Do you happen to have or know where I can find a good step by step migration guide ?
