Note We do not recommend installing QPM 2.1.2 from a network CD-ROM drive.

Before You Begin

•If you have the Policy Manager or Distribution Manager windows open, we recommend that you close them.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Insert the QoS Policy Manager CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive on the computer on which QPM 2.1 is installed.

Step 2 Select Start  >  Run, and enter d:\QPM-PRO-Patch\QoSPolicyManager-Patch2.1.2g.exe, where d is your CD-ROM drive.

This will start the installation on your system. Before replacing files, the installation will stop the Cisco QoS Manager service and will restart it after the installation completes.

Using the QPM 2.1.x Export Utility

Use the QPM 2.1.x export utility to export the contents of a QPM 2.1.x database to an XML file. The XML file will be required if you want to import device and policy information from QPM 2.1.x databases into QPM 3.1.

The XML file contains all the device and policy information in the database.

Procedure

---

Step 1 In QPM 2.1, choose File > Export Database to XML File. The Export Database to XML File dialog box opens. QPM assigns a default name to the XML file based on the database name.

Step 2 Navigate to the folder in which you want to save the XML file. Change the default name, if required.

Step 3 Click Save. A message appears in the Status bar after the database has been exported to the XML file.

You can view the XML file in your browser.

---

See the User Guide for QoS Policy Manager for information about importing device information and policy information from the XML file to QPM 3.1.

---

Note When importing policies from a QPM 2.1.x import file, QPM will create separate policy groups for each interface that has policies defined for it. This can result in a large number of policy groups if you defined policies for many interfaces. To avoid the creation of a large number of policy groups, consider uploading your policies from the devices rather than importing your QPM 2.1.x data. See the User Guide for QoS Policy Manager for more information about importing and uploading policies.
