Hi All,

I am getting an issue while upgrading the Windows Based CS ACS. Can any body help me in this,

My Current CS ACS 3.3(2) Build 2 is install on Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

I want to upgrade it to 4.1.1 Build 24 & further 4.1.4 Build 13...

I Installed a Windows 2003 Server SP2 on a separate machine & installed 4.1.1 Build 24 on it. Insllation became successfull but while restoring the backup file from old version. I got an error that "It is not compatible for this version"

It is also mention that my old version is installed in a Failover fastion on two machines.

Can anyone help me in this regard?

Waiting for quick response.

Thanks,

Mubasher

Need to upgrade your 3.3.(2) W2K server, perform a backup of 4.1.1(24) from the W2K, and then restore it into the W2K3 Server.

Just wanted to know further that can i get CS ACS 4.2 by TAC or Cisco Web Site because it is available now by Cisco & we just got the upgrade CD of ACS?

My old Version was 3.3.2 Build 2

My Upgraded Version 4.1.1 Build 24 &

4.1.4 Build 13

Kindly update me asap.

Thanks,

You need to upgrade your dmp file also. Your upgrade path would be 3.3.2--->4.1--->4.1.x

To upgrade ACS all you need to is to run setup.exe file and hit next. Now it will prompt â€œKeep existing databaseâ€, make sure you check that box else we will loose acs database.

Please see this link for more detail,

http://cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.2/installation/guide/windows/install.html#wp1041285

Other easy way is to open a case with TAC and have them to upgrade dmp file to 4.1.x.
