ISE distributed deployment upgrade

My client has an ISE deployment with 4 nodes: primary and secondary Admin/coach and 2 Policy Server. Admin nodes are virtual machines, the policy nodes are 3315 devices.

The system was installed nearly three years with version 1.1.0... It seems that the system never had questions if never has been patched or upgraded. Why fix something that works well?

Today, that there was a problem because expired certificates, so the review to get the system in place and running again, the issue of the update bring the conversation. We love to upgrade to the latest supported version. So I wonder for a few tips and ideas for dealing with the planning of the upgrade.

I have some doubts:

3315 device can support version 1.3 without problems?

I know that the upgrade procedure is essentially the installation a .tar file, but I'm not clear how the process in a distributed deployment must be. I had run upgrades in stand-alone systems, but never in a distributed deployment. So I need to upgrade the main Admin only, and the other nodes would automatically improve?

I need to upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2 first, then 1.2 to 1.3?

I undertand version 1.1 is 32-bit, version 1.2 and 1.3 are 64-bit, so I guess that the process could take a long time (maybe a few hours), so a maintenance window would need 3 or 4 hours so that the whole system has become stable.

Can you give me some tips and suggestions to avoid the major problems?

Kind regards.

Daniel Escalante.

  • Postgrase vRA distributed deployment Configuration

    Hello

    We provide deployment distributed for vRA 6.2.2 and have question around the Postgres SQL Server implementation. Documentation talking about DB server between vRA device cluster. Does vRA mandatory distributed deployment requires vPostgres in cluster or can I separate a single instance of Postgres and post the two HRV to the same device.

    We do not want cluster DB server unless it is mandatory for the vRA.

    If only Postgres can meet the requirement, is there no specific configuration in DB let connect the two devices to HRV?

    Yes, you can use simple Postgres and works without any problem. And there is no specific requirement as such. He usually recommendation to have Postgres clustered for HA.

  • Right way to restart the ISE PSN node in a distributed deployment

    Hi all

    Two of my ISE nodes (in a 1.2 8 node deployment) have expired admin CLI past (I know I'm stupid!)

    One is the secondary node MnT and one is a PSN node (1 of 4).

    I have some information on what I need to do to get a new password, but I have to unregister the nodes first or can I restart them.

    Will be my other three nodes PSN automatically re - authenticate users on PSN restart node or should I ask the downtime?

    Thanks for any help in advance

    Mark

    Right, shouldn't be a problem.  You certainly wouldn't want to remove it - you'd only if you need to reimage or something like that.

    Just as a tip, if you speak only use wireless cases, you could always disable this particular NHP since authentication Radius and Radius Accounting servers in the world (not over the WLAN).  If you make a change to the WLAN, it will "bounce" the WLAN.  But, if globally disable you "admin" that particular NHP, it will keep just the WLC as NHPS by up to that turn you it on again.

  • Change password for local administrator on Cisco ISE in distributed deployment

    Hi guys,.

    I managed four ISEs of Cisco in a distributed environment.

    First ISE is the Admin, second ISE is followed, the third and fourth are the PSN.

    We use local authentication. We want to change the password for the admin user name.

    -What does that by a lucky break the connection between the ISEs or will be the new password pushed to each of them?

    There is no possibility to change the passwords on the PSN as the administration tab is not available.

    I know that when I create a new user, he's pushed all ISEs.

    Thank you.

    Serge.

    Serge,

    Good question.  Once I read this question, I had to know, so I tried this in my lab.

    I changed the admin password and change successfully, I had to connect to ISE using the new password.  Then I noticed on my dashboard to my node communication school admin and my PSN was green.  YAY.  I went to the page of deployments and could access the configurations for the nodes.

    Trust, I logged the secondary node using the NEW PASSWORD.  So, Yes, not only communication does NOT break, the new password is pushed down to all nodes.

    Please rate useful messages and mark this question as answered if, in fact, does that answer your question.  Otherwise, feel free to post additional questions.

    Output: initialization of the Server Application indicates that for the ISE application server service failed to start / jammed at initialization. I came across this problem before. You can try the following:

    1. from issue CLI:

    Wait 15-20 min, then recheck both the GUI and the CLI 2. If the above didn't help not restart ISE servers by running the following command in the CLI:

  • lost access to ISE GUI after upgrade

    I upgraded ISE 1.3 to 2.0, not only lost my integration with active directory, but also the local account of GUI. I still have access to the command line, but I know that the admin user/pass there are different than those of the GUI, but you can see them in the command line, but the command is different from the ordinary

  • ISE 2.0 to 2.1 upgrade

    Hi Forum. I have 8 knots of ISE. This includes dedicated primary and secondary admin and monitoring nodes and rest are nodes PSN. I want to improve from 2.0 to 2.1. But I'm not sure how this be accomplished and who's in charge. Does anyone have experience upgrading from 2.0 to 2.1 with distributed deployment?

    Hello

    To upgrade your deployment, minimum downtime as possible, while offering a maximum resilience and ability to roll back, the upgrade order should be as follows:

    1 secondary management node (the main node of the Administration at this point remains to the previous version and can be used to restore, if the upgrade fails.

    2 primary followed by node

    3. Policy Service nodes

    At this point, check whether the upgrade was successful and also to run network tests to ensure that the new deployment works as expected. See check the process to upgrade for more information. If the upgrade was successful, continue to upgrade the following nodes:

    4 secondary control node

    5 primary Administration node

    Re-run verification tests and network upgrade after you upgrade the main node of the Administration.

  • Upgrade to version 1.2 of ISE

    My company what ISE is installed in the virtual machine, we got a plan to upgrade the ISE 1.1.1.268 to 1.2 form. But I've read through all the documentation, it took VM Upgrade 32-bit to64.

    But I confused with the passage of the VM. If my current 32-bit virtual machine running for 1.1.1.268, am I still able to upgrade using the command "upgrade of the application" to direct do the upgrade "ise-upgradebundle - 1.1.x - to-1.2.0.899.i386.tar.gz. What portion of the VM? I would have to manually change the virtual machine from 32 bit to 64 bit or it is done automatically as the below message? Sorry that I don't have VM boy and not sure about this part.

     Generating Database statistics for optimization .... - Preparing database for 64 bit migration... % NOTICE: The appliance will reboot twice to upgrade software and ADE-OS to 64 bit. During this time progress of the upgrade is visible on console. It could take up to 30 minutes for this to complete. Rebooting to do Identity Service Engine upgrade...

    Should I be concerned about the license and certificate after the upgrade?

    I'm not a VM guy either, but if you follow the news on the link, you should be fine. The tasks that you mentioned are tasks that occur automatically when you perform the upgrade procedure. Once this process is complete, you will need to change the settings for the virtual machine. So if you have a single ISE node you will need to:

    1. run the upgrade process

    2. power off the virtual machine

    3. set in VM Ware:

    -Type of OS (required)

    -RAM (optional) - the ISE's hardware installation guide check

    -CPU (optional) - check the ISE's hardware installation guide

    3. turn on the computer, virtual back and try it again

    If you have a distributed deployment, then you will need to follow the instructions for it

    The document/link also answers your question about certificates and license files:

    The upgrade process preserves permits and certificates. You don't have to reinstall or reimport them. Cisco ISE, version 1.2, supports files of license with identifier unique two nodes (IDUs). You can request a new license with the UDI of both primary and secondary Administration nodes. Check it out Setup Guide physical Cisco Identity Services engine for more details.

  • ISE 1.3 Distributed environment

    Hi all

    in a network with two main campuses and 10 remote with total scheme 3000 offices, to implement Cisco Ise distributed 1.3, we want to buy 2 camera SNS-3415-K9 for synchronization of monitoring/management/policy and 10 VM for node of sevice of strategy, but we found in distributed environment, to a pair of nodes of posture inline, we buy another two device or VM for inline posture?

    Well, it has not been officially said by Cisco, but it's already been removed working on the SNS.3495, so I would say that this isn't something that we should design the new ISE solution with.

    No, the secondary PAN/MNT will handle the same as main Ssnp, you cannot split your PSN between nodes of PAN/MNT.
