If you haven’t used it, you’ll need to download and install it, and then run the application. The application is free, and I have had a much luck with it over the years. This time I used the 3CDaemon TFTP/FTP application to FTP the upgrade file to PI.

I had also read about some inline upgrades that were having disk space issues, but decided to try it anyway. I had read that the best was to backup your existing PI, create a new VM with the PI 2.0 OVA and restore your backup into that VM. We went with this way for a variety of reasons. Patch: PI Patch - includes backup, restore and upgrade related updates Version: 1.2.1.13Ī month passed and the decision was made to try an “inline upgrade” – which is basically copying the PI 2.0 software to the virtual machine and executing an upgrade. Patch: Update for Prime Infrastructure 1.2.0 - backup,restore,upgrade improvements Version: 1.2.1.12 Version information of installed applications Initiating Application Patch installation.ĬiscoPI/admin# patch install pi_1.2.1.12_ localftpĬisco Application Deployment Engine OS Release: 2.0Ĭopyright (c) 2005-2010 by Cisco Systems, Inc. Saved the ADE-OS running configuration to startup successfully Save the current ADE-OS running configuration? (yes/no) ? yes Now that the patches are in PI, verify they are there and then run them.ĬiscoPI/admin# patch install PI_1.2.1.12u_ localftp Now I used WinSCP to copy the two patch files to PI from my workstation. That was all it took to create the FTP account. Here’s how: (FTP Username – “ftpaccount”, password = My8l0gpw0rDĬiscoPI/admin# ncs password ftpuser ftpaccount password My8l0gpw0rD I logged in via SSH and created an FTP account.

Research showed that I needed to create an FTP account on PI.

Next I tried FTP, but now my credentials were not working. I figured I would use WinSCP, so I tried to login with the file protocol = SCP and my root credentials and was denied. I downloaded these two files from CCO: pi_1.2.1.12_ and PI_1_2_1_12u-Update.1.tar.gz I created a backup repository and configured it to do daily backups at 03:30 in the morning. I browsed here: Administration > Background Tasks > Other Background Tasks > Prime Infrastructure Server Backup Not knowing which day I was going to do the upgrade, I decided to configure PI to back itself up daily so I would always have a fresh backup and not have to wait to create one if I decided to the upgrade that day. After doing all the research, I discovered I needed to first patch our PI and make backups. I am writing this for myself and anyone else that might be upgrading your Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI) in the future.
