Example: (as ‘root’ user) service mysqld-ib status
5. Copy the Point Patch to a directory outside of the Cisco Prime Network home directory (as user ‘root’).
Example:
cd /export/home mkdir 4.2.2.0.3
6. Grant the directory Cisco Prime Network user permission.
Example:
chown <Prime Network-user>:ana 4.2.2.0.3 Notes
The installation process is configured to execute automatic backup of all the files under the Cisco Prime Network home directory. Creating the backup zip file can take up to one hour.
You can abort the installation if a backup of the database has not been performed.
You are prompted for a destination path for the backup file and to indicate the required disk space requirements. This path location cannot be $PRIME_NETWORK_HOME.
Grant Cisco Prime Network user permission to the backup directory.
The backup file name is appended with the UNIX time stamp of the gateway machine.
The file format of the backup is PrimeNetworkBackUp_<unix_time>.tar.gz.
We recommend that you install Cisco Prime Network 4.2.2.0.3 Point Patch with the default option: perl upgrade.pl.
To install the Point Patch without a backup (no rollback option), run the upgrade.pl script with the –nobackup option, as follows:
perl upgrade.pl –nobackup
This Point Patch might include database table changes. If you would like the option to rollback to a previous Cisco Prime Network version, backup the database.
If your setup is installed with an embedded database, see the “Performing a Manual Backup of an Embedded Database and Cisco Prime Network” section in the Cisco Prime Network Administrator Guide, 4.2.
The Cisco Prime Network gateway and units restart automatically after the installation has completed successfully.
3. Installation Procedure
1. Login to the Cisco Prime Network gateway as the Prime Network user.
2. Navigate to the directory in which you placed the Point Patch.

3. Navigate to the patch directory location created in Step 5 and unzip the file to extract the necessary JAR files and Perl scripts (for Prime Network and Operations Report installation).
Example:
cd /export/home/4.2.2.0.3
unzip Prime_Network4.2.2.0.3.zip –d ./Point-Patch
4. The zip file will contain 2 separate additional zip files. One contains the files associated with installing the Prime Network patch (same name as original zip file) and the other for installing patches related to the Operations Report Tool.
Note: Operations Report Tool zip file will exist only if there are updates available to this Point Patch.
1. Prime_Network4.2.2.0.3.zip 2. 4.2_Reports.zip
5. For installing the Prime Network patch, go to the newly created sub directory (i.e. Point-Patch) and unzip the Prime Network Patch zip file:
Example:
cd ./Point-Patch
unzip Prime_Network4.2.2.0.3.zip
6. Navigate to the Prime_Network_upgrade directory:
cd Prime_Network_upgrade
7. Enter one of the following commands, depending on whether or not you want to install the Point Patch with the option to roll back.
To install the Point Patch and create a backup file, enter:
perl upgrade.pl
To install the Point Patch without creating a backup file, enter:
perl upgrade.pl –nobackup

8. Enter root password when prompted to do so.
9. If you are using a Unit behind NAT, restart the crontab, see Restarting Crontab Jobs for NAT Units in the Cisco Prime Network 4.2 Installation Guide.
10. During the patch installation, the console output will indicated that the NCCM patch is being installed, “Upgrading NCCM”.
11. If you observe the following output from the install script “Upgrading Integration Layer”, then the base Prime Network Integration Layer was previously installed and the script is upgrading the Prime Network Integration Layer patch. If the base Prime Network Integration Layer is not installed, then no action is taken by the script. The base Prime Network Integration Layer is required for Suite setups and optional for Standalone setups (enables MTOSI and 3GPP web service implementations via WS-SOAP NBI).
12. The script will provide a user prompt “Do you want to proceed (Yes/No)?” Answer “Yes” to install the Prime Network Integration Layer patch. Answering “No” continues the installation but does not install the Prime Network Integration Layer patch.
13. Wait until the Cisco Prime Network gateway is up and running.
14. For installing the Operations Report Tool patch, refer to section 7 Prime Network Operations Report Tool Installation.
15. If you are using the LINUX RHCS solution:
Log into the Cisco Prime Network gateway as root user and move the services out of freeze mode, by running:
clusvcadm –U <Prime Network service>
clusvcadm –U <Oracle service>
16. If you are working in suite mode, log on to the Prime Central Server and restart the Integration Layer.
itgctl stop
itgctl start
17. On the Prime Network Gateway Verify that the Prime Network Integration Layer is up. If not start Prime Network Integration Layer.
As the Prime Network user, run:
$PRIMEHOME/local/scripts/itgctl start
