Ise 3.0 fewer VM Licenses installed than VM Resource/VM Nodes deployed

Hello Guys,

i've a cisco ISE deploy running version 3.0 and patch7.
After setting up the cluster everything's working fine but i've got the following warning "“Fewer VM Licenses installed than VM Resources/VM Nodes deployed".
All nodes are running with a small vm license and with 32gb of ram and 16 cpu on Vmware, i found the following picture on the documentation and i was wondering if this could be the cause of the warning.

Do i have to decrease the cpu fro 16 to 12?
If I continue to disregard this warning, will it stop the operation or will it remain just a cosmetic warning?
(i've not migrated my VM Small license to the VM Common license yet)

Thank you

hello @MaErre21325 , the warning that you have right now is cosmetic and it won't affect your operations that you are doing with ISE, in order to get rid off the alarm it will be required that you do the conversions of licensing that you mentioned in your previous post .

Let me know if that helped you .

How many VM Common licenses do you have in your smart account? 3615 spec should be 16 vCPU cores with 32 GB of RAM. Also keep in mind the 37XX specs have also been released.

I don't have the vm common license yet, at the moment i've 5 nodes with a VM Small license for each node.

I would migrate to the VMC license, what does your licensing page look like within ISE? Is ISE consuming the small VM license? Do those even show?

yes, i've 5 licenses consumed, and an "out of compliace " state, i would migrate those licenses only when upgradind to 3.1.

if as Rodrigo said, it is only a cosmetic warning i can keep it, otherwise i'll plan to convert vmc.
