Cisco ISE Restore from Backup

dnnate — Wed, 02 Mar 2022 16:21:53 GMT

I am planning to restore a backup of Cisco ISE to a new VM. The backup is of a VM that is in HA mode.

What will happen if I restore a backup from HA setup to a non HA VM? Does it stay as non HA VM?

yes you can restore offline mode and check, is the other VM in HA still working ?

Yes, both VMs in HA are working. We intend to replace them with the new one, once fully configured. The new VM will have a new hostname

Hi @dnnate ,

remember that ... when you restore the Configuration Backup without restoring ADE-OS, the Node will be a Standalone Node without the OS Configuration Data of the ISE Server the backup was taken from (like hostname, IP Addr, NTP, ...).

Note: restoring ADE-OS you will have an exact duplicate of the ISE Server the backup was taken from.

Hope this helps !!!
