You can install Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2.3 Maintenance Release on a server running the Cisco Prime Infrastructure, version 2.2, 2.2.1 and 2.2.2. This maintenance release supports coexistence of Wireless Technology Package 1.0.1 and Data Center Technology package 1.0.1. System Requirements For more information on server and web client requirements, see the section Understanding System Requirements of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 Quick Start Guide. Installation Guidelines The following sections explain how to install the maintenance release. • Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release • Installation Scenarios Not Supported in Prime Infrastructure 2.2.3 • Installing the Maintenance Release from Cisco Site • Installing the Maintenance Release from Local Storage • Installing the Maintenance Release in High Availability Mode • Troubleshooting Maintenance Release Installs in High Availability Implementations Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release Caution Once you install this maintenance release, you cannot un-install or remove it. Since the maintenance release 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 maintenance release installation to fail. To ensure you can do this, take a backup of your system before downloading and installing this UBF maintenance release. To revert to the original Prime Infrastructure 2.2, 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 installation, follow these steps: 1. Reinstall Prime Infrastructure 2.2 from an OVA or ISO distribution. 2. Install any prior point patches. 3. If the original version is Prime Infrastructure 2.2.1/2.2.2, install the maintenance release 2.2.1/2.2.2 over Prime Infrastructure 2.2. 4. Restore the data from the backup that you made before applying the maintenance release 2.2.3. Similarly, if you are running Prime Infrastructure 2.2.x in a Virtual Machine (VM) and your organization permits taking VM snapshots, use the VMware client to take a VM snapshot before applying this maintenance release. Store the snapshot in an external storage repository, and restore from the snapshot if the maintenance release installation is unsuccessful. Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2.3 Release Notes 2 Installation Guidelines If you are installing this maintenance release as part of a High Availability (HA) implementation, you will want to ensure that the network links between the two servers provide maximum bandwidth (at lease 100 Mbits/sec) and low latency (less than 20 milliseconds) throughout the maintenance release installation. For more information, see Troubleshooting Maintenance Release Installs in High Availability Implementations.

To install the downloaded Prime Infrastructure 2.2.3 Maintenance Release pi223-26.ubf in High Availability mode follow the below steps: • Make sure you have completed the recommended preparation steps given in Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release. • If your current Prime Infrastructure implementation has High Availability (HA) servers that are not at the same patch level, see Patching Paired High Availability Servers in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 Administration Guide. • If you are setting up a new Prime Infrastructure High Availability (HA) implementation and your new servers are not at the same patch level, see Patching New High Availability Servers in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 Administration Guide. Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2.3 Release Notes 4 Upgrading from Previous Releases of Cisco Prime Infrastructure Troubleshooting Maintenance Release Installs in High Availability Implementations Users who apply this maintenance release in a High Availability (HA) implementation may experience difficulties if the network links between the two servers offer low bandwidth (less than 100 Mbits/sec) and high latency (greater than 20 milliseconds). In particular, this kind of low throughput can cause the post-maintenance release restart and re-registration to take far longer than normal. In most cases, simply waiting longer will fix the problem with no intervention. In a few cases, continued or intermittent throughput problems can cause a complete failure. If you believe this has occurred, contact Cisco TAC for support. If you are unable to verify that this maintenance release has been successfully installed on a Prime Infrastructure server, or one or both of the servers fails to re-start properly after installing the maintenance release, you may need to re-image the server as explained in Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release before continuing. In all cases, you can use the backup-logs command on one or both servers to get information on the source of the failure. For more information, see backup-logs in Command Reference Guide for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2.

Important Notes • Prime Infrastructure 2.1.x instances can authenticate via Prime Infrastructure 2.2.3 single sign-on (SSO) server only if you apply the ISE patch pi212_PIGEN_CSCur43834_01.ubf from Home > Products > Cloud and Systems Management > Routing and Switching Management > Network Management Solutions > Prime Infrastructure > Prime Infrastructure 2.1 > Prime Infrastructure Patches-2.1.2 before configuring Prime Infrastructure 2.2.3 SSO server IP in Prime Infrastructure 2.1.x instances. It is a prerequisite to manage Prime Infrastructure 2.1.2 instances in Prime Operation Center 2.2.3. • In addition to installing Prime Infrastructure 2.2.3 on Prime Infrastructure instances, make sure that you also install Prime Infrastructure 2.2.3 on Prime Operations Center. • Prime Operation Center supports both Prime Infrastructure 2.1.x with cluster enable Patch and 2.2.x as managed instance. • Install Plug and Play gateway before installing Prime Infrastructure 2.2.3. • Prime Infrastructure 2.2.3 has a fix for POODLE vulnerability which disables SSLv3 and enables TLS on Prime Infrastructure server. The CNS agent on the devices currently support only SSLv3 and is poodle vulnerable (CSCus48378). Installing the Prime Infrastructure 2.2.3 maintenance release would break the Secure PnP (SSL and HTTPS enabled) functionality in Prime Infrastructure for devices. • If you upgrade Prime Infrastructure from version 1.4.x or version 2.1.x to Prime Infrastructure version 2.2.3, the Refresh From Network property settings under Floor Maps is set to disabled by default. You can enable the Refresh From Network property settings associated with the Floor Maps. Caution A Refresh on the Floor Map, will take long time to complete if you enable the Refresh From Network property settings under Floor Maps.
