Chapter 9 Using Cisco WCS
Managing Cisco WCS and the Cisco WCS Database
Step 5 In the Select Backup directory window, highlight the backup directory you created and click OK. The
backup script creates subdirectories in the C:\WCS30_Backup\ directory, and backs up the Cisco WCS
database and the floor plan, building, and area maps to the C:\WCS30_Backup\conf and
C:\WCS30_Backup\mapimages directories.
Step 6 Click OK when the Backup Status window opens and displays this message:
Backup Succeeded. You may restart the Cisco WCS Server now.
Step 7 Uninstall the Cisco WCS application using the Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs application.
Step 8 When the JExpress Uninstaller window displays Program uninstalled, click Finished to close the
JExpress Uninstaller window.
Step 9 If any part of the C:\Program Files\WCS30 folder remains on the hard drive, manually delete the folder
and all contents.
Note If you fail to delete the previous Cisco WCS installation, this error message appears when you reinstall
Cisco WCS: Cisco WCS already installed. Please uninstall the older version before installing this
version.
Step 10 Reinstall the Cisco WCS application.
Step 11 From the Windows START button, select the Programs menu, and then select Cisco Wireless Control
System/Restore.
Step 12 In the Select Backup directory window, highlight the backup directory you created and click OK. The
restore database script restores the Cisco WCS database and the floor plan, building, and area maps to
the new Cisco WCS installation.
Step 13 Click OK when the Restore Status page opens and displays this message:
Restore Succeeded. You may restart the Cisco WCS Server now.
If you receive an error message, scroll down the page to find the error. Normally, the only error that will
halt a backup is if an incorrect directory is specified; if this is the case, repeat this procedure with the
correct directory to complete the backup.
Updating Cisco WCS for Linux

Step 1 If possible, stop all Cisco WCS User Interfaces to stabilize the database.
Step 2 Log into the system as root.
Step 3 Using the Linux CLI, navigate to the default /opt/WCS 30/ directory (or any other directory).
Step 4 Create a backup directory for the Cisco WCS database with no spaces in the name; for example, mkdir
WCS30BAK.
Step 5 Navigate to the default /opt/WCS30 directory (or the directory chosen during installation).
Step 6 Enter ./StopWCS to stop the Cisco WCS application.
Step 7 Enter ./Backup to start th e Cisco WCS database backup. The Backup script displays the Select Backup
directory window.
