ISE HA on HyperFlex

Nick3 — Tue, 28 May 2019 22:45:12 GMT

Hi Team,

I would like confirm if ISE HA is supported on HyperFlex, given the appliance meets the minimum read/write performance, VM, latency, and disk storage requirements?

There's a post from 2017 that ISE on HyperFlex was not tested at the time and there is a white paper about a customer moving

ISE to HyperFlex.

Please verify if ISE HA is now supported in HyperFlex.

Thank you! 🙂

Nothing has changed. If it’s not in the compatibility guide then it’s not supported.

Hyperflex is just a converged infrastructure solution with various components. Choose your manager, your hypervisors, and use prescribed Cisco UCS hardware. Hyperflex still supports vmware and hyperv, and ISE is supported on both of those platforms.

So if you run Hyperflex with either of these two hypervisiors, then you can deploy ISE in a supported manner. Deploying ISE as a kubernetes container on Hyperflex would not be supported. I had a customer deploy some ISE VM's on Hyperflex /w vmware, it worked great.
