CISCO Prime Infrastructure 3.10.4 User Guide

Introduction

This is the fourth maintenance release for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10. You can install Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.4 on Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.2 System Patch or Cisco  Prime Infrastructure 3.10.3. Prime Infrastructure PI_3_10_4-1.0.24.ubf is approximately 935 MB. You must install the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.4 Mandatory System Patch (PI_3_10_4_SystemPatch-1.0.12.ubf – approximately 1.97 GB) after 3.10.4 installation. This includes Oracle April 2023 critical patch update. To install the system patch, see Installing the System Patch from Local Storage.

The downloading time depends on the available network connection in the enterprise environment. Ensure that you have adequate bandwidth and are not running into high latency issues.

System Requirements
For more details on the system requirements, see Understand System Requirements section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Quick Start Guide.

Installation Guidelines
The following sections explain how to install the maintenance release.

Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release
You can install Prime Infrastructure 3.10.4 on top of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.2 System Patch or Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.3 from Software Download page.

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.

If the backup is aPrime Infrastructure 3.10.3 backup, restore the backup onPrime Infrastructure 3.10.3 server before applying the 3.10.4 release.

Similarly, if you are running Prime Infrastructure 3.10.3 in a Virtual Machine (VM) and your organization permits taking VM snapshots, stop Prime Infrastructure and 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. For more details, see Restore an Application Backup in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Administrator Guide.

To revert to Prime Infrastructure 3.10.4 installation (with PI 3.10.x, PI 3.9.x, PI 3.8.x, or PI 3.7.x backup),
follow these steps:

1. Reinstall Prime Infrastructure 3.10 from an OVA or ISO distribution
2. Upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.2 using tar bundle and install PI 3.10.2 system patch once after upgrade is completed. For more information, see Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.2 Release Notes
3. Install Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.4
4. Install Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10.4 System Patch
5.  If you have a prior 3.10.x, 3.9.x, PI 3.8.x, PI 3.7.x backup – Restore this backup

If you are installing this release as part of a High Availability (HA) implementation, see Installing the Maintenance Release in High Availability Mode, on page 3 in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Administrator Guide .

Installing the Release from Local Storage

Caution
If you have a High Availability (HA) environment, remove the HA setup before proceeding to install this release. For more details, see Installing the Maintenance Release in High Availability Mode .

Installing the Maintenance Release in High Availability Mode

Download PI_3_10_4-1.0.24.ubf from Home > Products > Cloud and Systems Management > Routing and Switching Management > Network Management Solutions > Prime Infrastructure > Prime Infrastructure 3.10 > Prime Infrastructure Patches – 3.10.4 and save the file in your local system.

To install the downloaded PI_3_10_4-1.0.24.ubf in High Availability mode follow the below prerequisites:

• Make sure that you have completed the recommended preparation steps given in Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release.

Note
Prime Infrastructure 3.10.4 can be applied only in primary and secondary standalone servers. The server will restart automatically once the installation is complete. The restart typically takes more than 45 minutes. You cannot apply Prime Infrastructure 3.10.4 when HA is enabled

• If you are installing CiscoPrime Infrastructure 3.10.4 on High Availability (HA) paired servers, you will get an error message.

For more details, see Remove HA Via the GUI in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Administrator Guide.

• Continue the patching once HA removed completely. For more details, see the How to Patch New HA Servers section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Administrator Guide .
  
  

Troubleshooting Maintenance Release Installs in High Availability

Implementations

If you are unable to apply this maintenance release in a High Availability (HA) implementation, check whether your network bandwidth, throughput and latency meets the network requirements recommended in Network Throughput Restrictions on HA section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Administrator Guide. 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 restart properly after installing the maintenance release, you may need to re-image the server as explained in Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release, on page 1 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 the backup-logs section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.10 Command Reference Guide .
