Cisco AAA/Identity/Nac :: ACS 5.3 - Backup Files Are Smaller In Size After Upgrade
Oct 30, 2011
After ACS upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3 we have noticed that backup files are significantly smaller in size. For example before the upgrade they were:
285633099 2011-10-23 22:01 Meduza-ACS-111023-2200.tar.gpg
285809254 2011-10-24 22:01 Meduza-ACS-111024-2200.tar.gpg
And after upgrade:
124234429 2011-10-25 22:00 Meduza-ACS-111025-2200.tar.gpg
124234425 2011-10-26 22:00 Meduza-ACS-111026-2200.tar.gpg
What could cause this behavior? How we can be sure if backup files have been regular after the upgrade?

I'm doing a basic setup of ACS 5.3. For now, I'm configuring backup to a local repository
!
repository Backup
url disk:/Backup
!
How can I automatically delete old files? I need to keep only the last seven files.

I am currently trying to upgrade a 2800 series router to the latest IOS. I have loads of space on the router but the issue seems to be that Pumkin can't handle the size of the file. Keeps failing and saying that I might want to increase my block size. I increased it to the maximum size but still didn't work.

When we originally deployed our Cisco Prime NCS and MSE Virtual Appliances, the VMsphere server they were on was not able to assign us the level of resources we requested. We installed the MSE as "LOW" system due to the memory and CPU requirements. It has a 2000 CAS element limit. At the time we were licensed for 1000, so no huge problem.
Now, we purchased a Cisco UCS C240 server to run our Prime NCS and MSE on, which gives us our own environment where we have plenty of resources. I also bought 6000 CAS element licensing.
The catch is, how can I either do a fresh install, using the same UID, on our new UCS server, so that our licensing is still valid when we move the box, or, is it possible to do some sort of platform reinstall or upgrade after moving our original MSE VM guest over to the UCS server? Sadly, I can't even utilize the additional 1000 CAS element licensing at this time because it won't allow me to add the 6000 license and use only 2000, on the LOW appliance. So I've got to get these VM guests moved, but maintain any UID's so that the licensing still works.
Is it possible to disconnect the licensing we have, from the UID, and move it to a different UID?

I was asked to performe upgrade from acs 5.3 to 5.4 (vm), but i noticed that someone installed it on 80gb partition and there is 500gb as one of the requriments in upgrade and install procedure. What is strange to me is that "dir disk:" command shows such an output: 5165345067 bytes available.And under ESX i see 80gb partition. Anyway, is there any way to extend partition size to 500gb? Can I just change it under ESX? Is there any procedure to take under ACS console?

I have a pair of NAM (WS-SVC-NAM-2) blades in my CAT65.I have been instructed to upgrade my NAM from application version 5.0 to 5.1.1?
The TAC engineer also said that I should upgrade my maintainence software from 2.1(5) to a newer version. He did not say which maintainence version I should upgrade to.
I am having a problem locating the software on CCO. provide me with a link so to the space where these files are hosted (NAM application & maintainence software) ?

Is it possible to upgrade the CSACS-1121-UP-K9 to be a non upgrade part? We were going to upgrade from a Windows 4.x to the above Appliance (version 5.x) but there is now a reason to keep the old Windows version running therefore we cannot give the new Appliance the old ACS's licenses?!So we should have (with hindsight) bought a fresh version of the ACS 5.x rather than an upgrade.

I've been setting up building and testing our new ACS 5.x boxes and I've been running into a spot of bother with the backup restore feature. This most likely due to my unfamiliarity with the tool.
As part of my testing for Backup/Restore, I first backup the data using the Removal and backup tool in Secure ACS View (found under data management. I then confirm that the new FULL backup has been populated my test repository and is available in the restore feature. (also under Data Management) My next step is to create a few test Network Device Groups, Identity groups, and users Then I go back to the restore feature select the Back up file I just created, I also check the box Skip View Database backup before Restore and hit the restore button.
The box goes through the expected steps including a reload. When it comes back up I would expect the test users, groups etc I created after the last backup to be gone as they did not exist at that time. Although I find the opposite is true. Any settings I made after the last backup are still present. I do not have incremental backups enabled.
I essentially want to test a backup of the database of users and groups/rules etc make changes and then restore that database to the previous backed up configuration.

Due to some wrong access policy applied in the administration control settings. GUI access is not functioning. So we need to take a backup thru CLI mode using FTP server. I have tried using the backup command in the console & taken the backup using the following steps. But the backup file is less than 1kb. I need the exact Db backup to be taken.
Step 1 Log in to the ACS SE. For more information, see Logging In to the Solution Engine from a Serial Console.Step 2 At the system prompt, enter backup and press Enter.Tip You can enter the following parameters after the command or in response to subsequent prompts: [server] [username] [filepath]Step 3 At the Enter FTP Server Hostname or IP Address: prompt, enter the FTP server IP address or hostname, and press Enter.Step 4 At the Enter FTP Server Directory: prompt, enter the FTP server directory pathname, and press Enter.Step 5 At the Enter FTP Server Username: prompt, enter the FTP server username and. press Enter.Step 6 At the Enter FTP Server Password: prompt, enter the FTP server password and, press Enter.Step 7 At the File: prompt, enter the name that you want to give the backup file, and press Enter.Step 8 At the Encrypt Backup file? <Y or N>: prompt, enter Y to encrypt the backup file or N not to encrypt it, and press Enter.Caution This procedure interrupts the use of the ACS SE for AAA services.Step 9 If you entered Y to encrypt the backup file, at the Encryption Password: prompt, enter a password and then press Enter.Result: The console displays:Backing up now . . .
All running services will be stopped and restarted automatically.Are you sure you want to proceed? <Y or N>Step 10 To proceed, enter Y and press Enter.

Just purchased a SG300-52 and am trying to upgrade the firmware to 1.1.2 but cannot get the Upgrade/Backup Firmware Language page to load in the web browser interface. I have tried IE 8 and 9, Firefox 3.16 and 10.02, and Chrome from Windows 7 and XP Pro systems also tried FF and Chrome from Ubuntu system. The page just never loads - doesn't show anything.The same is true of the Download/Backup/Configuration/Log page. The other links under Administration > File Management seem to work fine.

I am not able to backup ACS 5.x server by means of SFTP protocol. We use ACS 5-2-0-26-2. My configuration of repository is:
repository SFTP
url sftp://x.x.x.x/home/user
user user password hash 455ad
command 'backup acs01 repository SFTP' does not work and I receive the following error message on ACS server:
%SSH connect error
On my sftp server I can find the following error messages:
Apr 6 06:57:46 CR01 sshd[8561]: Accepted password for user from 10.20.86.72 port 47924 ssh2Apr 6 06:57:46 CR01 sshd[8563]: Received disconnect from 10.20.86.72: 11: disconnected by user
How to successfully performed backup by means of SFTP protocol? Do I need any other configuration settings except repository? Do I need to store my SSHD RSA key to ACS? I am able to copy files using SFTP from other computers, so it seems that SFTP server is set correctly.

So I've decided to utilize 802.1x on a switch module on a 2901, reasons being for mobility for a laptop and network security.
However, the 802.1x authentication occurs over the VPN Tunnel (over the Internet). What our concern is, what happens if the Internet or Tunnel goes down? I know that 802.1x does not authenticate against the IOS local DB, so what would be another option in case this scenario happened?
There will only be one device authenticating (maybe 2) and they are 2 HP Windows 7 laptops.

We are trying to make a restore from the backup done on ACS version 5.1 to a new appliance running ACS5.2 Before doing it I found this note in Cisco ACS user guide:
Note: You cannot back up data from an earlier version of ACS and restore it to a later version. Backup and restore must be performed on the same version of ACS. If you need the data on a different version of the ACS, you can perform an upgrade after you restore the data. Refer to the Installation and Setup Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.1 for more information on upgrading ACS to later versions.
How should I understand it? This note has conflicting statements. We can't restore to a later version but if you need data on a different version of ACS you can perform an upgrade AFTER YOU RESTORE the data. Doesn't it mean that the restore will still work? How would I do the upgrade to version 5.2 or even version 5.3 that was announced to be released very soon? I didn't find anything on the software upgrade in ACS5.1 guide.
