Uncheck the Support clustering features such as Fault Tolerance check box. Choose the advanced options, and click Next. You must see the following values:. For the Cisco ISE installation to be successful on a virtual machine, ensure that you adhere to the recommendations given in this document.

On a VMware virtual machine, the boot delay by default is set to 0. You can change this boot delay to help you choose the boot options while resetting the Administrator password, for example.

From the Power on Boot Delay area, select the time in milliseconds to delay the boot operation. Click the Options tab. Select Boot Options and configure the following option:. Click OK. If the virtual machine is turned on, turn the system off. The system enters the BIOS setup mode. This time zone setting ensures that the reports, logs, and posture-agent log files from the various nodes in your deployment are always synchronized with regard to the time stamps.

Using the arrow keys, navigate to the Boot menu and press Enter. Using the arrow keys, navigate to the Exit menu and choose Exit Saving Changes. Choose Yes to save the changes and exit. If you choose the serial console option, you should have a serial console set up on your virtual machine. See the VMware vSphere Documentation for information on how to create a console.

At the system prompt, type setup and press Enter. If you want to upgrade any VMware tools to a higher version, support is provided through a newer version of Cisco ISE regular, upgrade, or patch release.

You do not have to install and configure the PSNs individually. For cloning, you need VMware vCenter. Cloning must be done before you run the Setup program.

Ensure that you change the IP Address and Hostname of the cloned machine before you power it on and connect it to the network. Log in to the ESXi server as a user with administrative privileges root user. Enter a name for the new machine that you are creating in the Name and Location dialog box and click Next.

This datastore could be the local datastore on the ESXi server or a remote storage. Ensure that the datastore has enough disk space. Click the Same format as source radio button in the Disk Format dialog box and click Next.

Click the Do not customize radio button in the Guest Customization dialog box and click Next. Cloning a virtual machine using a template is a two-step process:. Create a Virtual Machine Template. Deploy a Virtual Machine Template. We recommend that you create a template from a Cisco ISE VM that you have just installed and not run the setup program on. You can then run the setup program on each of the individual Cisco ISE nodes that you have created and configure IP address and hostnames individually.

Enter a name for the template, choose a location to save the template in the Name and Location dialog box, and click Next. Choose the ESXi host that you want to store the template on and click Next. Choose the datastore that you want to use to store the template and click Next. Ensure that this datastore has the required amount of disk space.

After you create a virtual machine template, you can deploy it on other virtual machines VMs. Click the Do not customize radio button in the Guest Customization dialog box. Check the Edit Virtual Hardware check box and click Continue. Ensure that the Cisco ISE node is in the standalone state. Uncheck the Connected and Connect at power on check boxes.

Otherwise, if this node comes up, it will have the same IP address as the source machine from which it was cloned. Ensure that you have the IP address and hostname that you are going to configure for the newly cloned VM as soon as you power on the machine.

You cannot use "localhost" as the hostname for a node. The hostname is the new hostname that you are going to configure. The Cisco ISE services are restarted. The system will prompt you to restart the Cisco ISE services. After you power on and change the ip address and hostname, you must connect the Cisco ISE node to the network. Click Network adapter in the Virtual Machine Properties dialog box.

In the Device Status area, check the Connected and Connect at power on check boxes. After evaluating the Cisco ISE release, you can migrate the from an evaluation system to a fully licensed production system. When you move the VMware server to a production environment that supports a larger number of users, be sure to reconfigure the Cisco ISE installation to the recommended minimum disk size or higher up to the allowed maximum of 2. You can only migrate data from VMs created with GB or more disk space to a production environment.

Back up the configuration of the evaluation version. Back Previous Next. Latest Contents. Created by IS34lyf on PM. It is not grayed out.

To achieve performance and scalability comparable to the Cisco ISE hardware appliance, the virtual machine should be allocated system resources equivalent to the Cisco SNS or series appliances. This section lists the hardware, software, and virtual machine requirements required to install Cisco ISE.

Cisco ISE 2. Harden your virtual environment and ensure that all the security updates are up-to-date. Cisco is not liable for any security issues found in hypervisors. For the VMware vMotion feature to be functional, the following condition must be met:.

This might lead to data corruption issues. Hence, ensure that Cisco ISE is not running and active during the migration. If this issue occurs, you might have to reimage the VM and disable VM snapshot. In a multi-node Cisco ISE deployment, data in all the nodes are continuously synchronized with current database information.

Restoring a snapshot might cause database replication and synchronization issues. We recommend that you use the backup functionality included in Cisco ISE for archival and restoration of data. A reboot is required to bring up the ISE node. The GB and 1. For additional information about disk space requirements, see Disk Space Requirements. However, it is important that you ensure the minimum requirements and resource reservations specified in this document are met.

The OVA templates simplify ISE virtual appliance deployment by automatically applying the minimum resources required for each platform. The large node is only for use as a performance-enhanced MnT node. The following table lists the VMware virtual machine requirements. SNS Series Appliance:. The number of cores is twice of that present in equivalent of the Cisco Secure Network Server series, due to hyperthreading.

The Large memory size is only for use as a performance-enhanced MnT node. If you use more than one virtual disk to meet the disk space requirement, the installer may not recognize all the disk space. The storage system for the Cisco ISE virtual appliance requires a minimum write performance of 50 MB per second and a read performance of MB per second.

Deploy a storage system that meets these performance criteria and is supported by VMware server. Cisco ISE provides a number of methods to verify if your storage system meets these minimum requirements before, during, and after Cisco ISE installation.

We recommend the VMFS file system because it is most extensively tested, but other file systems, transports, and media can also be deployed provided they meet the above requirements. For best performance and redundancy, a caching RAID controller is recommended. Additionally, battery-backed controller cache can significantly improve write operations. We recommend that you select E to ensure correct adapter order by default. Use preallocated RAW storage format.

We recommend VirtIO drivers for better performance. Deploying a Monitoring persona on a large VM offers the following advantages:.
