The following sections explain how to install the maintenance release.
Since the maintenance release is not removable, it is important to have a way to revert your system to the original version in case hardware or software problems cause the maintenance release installation to fail.
To ensure you can do this, take a backup of your system before downloading and installing this UBF maintenance release.
If the backup is a Prime Infrastructure 3.4 backup, restore the backup on Prime Infrastructure 3.4 server before applying the Maintenance Release 3.4.1.
Similarly, if you are running Prime Infrastructure 3.4 in a Virtual Machine (VM) and your organization permits taking VM snapshots, stop Prime Infrastructure and use the VMware client to take a VM snapshot before applying this maintenance release. Store the snapshot in an external storage repository, and restore from the snapshot if the maintenance release installation is unsuccessful. For more details, see Restore an Application Backup in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.4 Administrator Guide.
To restore the backup of the Prime Infrastructure 3.4 installation, follow these steps:
1. Install Prime Infrastructure 3.4 from an OVA or ISO distribution.
2. Clear the Cache and log in to Prime Infrastructure GUI again and proceed with the Prime Infrastructure 3.4.1 upload.
If you are installing this maintenance release as part of a High Availability (HA) implementation, see Before You Begin Setting Up High Availability in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.4 Administrator Guide.

To install the downloaded Prime Infrastructure 3.4.1 Maintenance Release PI_3_4_1-1.0.27.ubf in High Availability mode follow the below prerequisites:
Note Prime Infrastructure 3.4.1 can be applied only in primary and secondary standalone servers. The server will restart automatically once the installation is complete. The restart typically takes 25 to 35 minutes. You cannot apply Prime Infrastructure 3.4.1 when HA is enabled.
For more details, see Remove HA Via the GUI in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.4 Administrator Guide.
If you are unable to apply this maintenance release in a High Availability (HA) implementation, check whether your network bandwidth, throughput and latency meets the network requirements recommended in Network Throughput Restrictions on HA section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.4 Administrator Guide. In a few cases, continued or intermittent throughput problems can cause a complete failure. If you believe this has occurred, contact Cisco TAC for support.
If you are unable to verify that this maintenance release has been successfully installed on a Prime Infrastructure server, or one or both of the servers fails to restart properly after installing the maintenance release, you may need to re-image the server as explained in Before You Begin Installing the Maintenance Release before continuing.
In all cases, you can use the backup-logs command on one or both servers to get information on the source of the failure. For more information, see the backup-logs section in the Command Reference Guide for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.4.
If you are using external RADIUS or TACACS+ user authentication, before migrating your existing data to a new version of Prime Infrastructure, you must transfer the expanded Prime Infrastructure user task list to your AAA server. After you upgrade Prime Infrastructure, you must re-add any permissions on the TACACS+ or RADIUS server and update the roles in your TACACS server with the tasks from the Prime Infrastructure server. For more details, Configure External Authentication section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.4 Administrator Guide.
You can restore the backup from the following Prime Infrastructure versions to Prime Infrastructure 3.4.1:
If you are running multiple previous releases of Prime Infrastructure (for example, you are running version 3.0.0.78 and 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3, 3.1.0.0.132), you must select one version from which to restore data.
See Before You Migrate Your Data in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.4 Quick Start Guide before you restore your data from Prime Infrastructure 3.0.x or 3.1 to your newly installed Prime Infrastructure 3.4 server:
You can apply the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.4.1 over Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.4 upgraded server. For detailed information about upgrading from previous releases of Prime Infrastructure, including the list of versions from which you can upgrade, see the How to Upgrade From Previous Releases of Prime Infrastructure section of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.4 Quick Start Guide.
