Do the following:
If possible, stop all Cisco WCS User Interfaces (Stopping a Cisco WCS User Interface) to
stabilize the database.
Create a Backup Directory
If not already done, log in as root.
Using the Linux command line interface, navigate to the default /usr/local/ directory (or any
other directory).
Create a backup directory for the Cisco WCS database with no spaces in the name; for instance,
mkdir WCS22BAK.
Stop the Cisco WCS Server Application
Navigate to the default /usr/local/bin/WCS22 directory (or the directory chosen during
installation).
Enter ./StopACSServer to stop Cisco WCS.
Back Up the Cisco WCS Server Database
Enter ./Backup to start the Cisco WCS database backup. The Backup script displays the Select
Backup directory window.
In the Select Backup directory window, navigate to the NAME of the backup directory you
created above (not IN the directory), and click OK.
When the Backup script displays the Backup Succeeded. You may restart the Cisco WCS Server
now
message, click OK.
Uninstall the Old Cisco WCS Server Application
Enter ./uninstallAirespaceControlSystem to uninstall Cisco WCS.
Click Yes to continue with the uninstallation.
Click Finished when the uninstallation is completed.
Install the New Cisco WCS Server Application
Find the cisco-wcs-location-2.2.X.Y-install.bin (High-Resolution Cisco WCS Location) or
cisco-wcs-base-2.2.X.Y-install.bin (Low-Resolution Cisco WCS Base) file, where 2.2.X.Y is the
software build. This file may be found on the Linux Cisco WCS CD-ROM or may be obtained
from Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
In the Linux command line interface, navigate to the cisco-wcs-location-2.2.X.Y-install.bin
or cisco-wcs-base-2.2.X.Y-install.bin file directory.
Enter ./cisco-wcs-location-2.2.X.Y-install.bin or ./
cisco-wcs-base-2.2.X.Y-install.bin to start the install script.
The install script prepares the install environment, and displays the Installer window, which
prompts you to change the HTTP and HTTPS ports, if necessary. Click Next when done.
