Cisco ISE & Cisco HyperFlex

[scamarda]

Trying to confirm support capability between Cisco HF and Cisco ISE.  HF presents storage as NFS.  According to the vm install guide ,ISE requires/recommends VMFS.  In the ISE 1.2 install guide there is a note that NFS storage is not recommended .  There is no mention of this in the ISE 2.1.  The new guidance appears this way:

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.

Based upon this information, can ISE be installed in an NFS environment and be supported by Cisco TAC?

Thanks

As long as the recommended IO is achieved then yes.

Storage and File System

The storage system for the Cisco ISE virtual appliance requires a minimum write performance of 50 MB per second and a read performance of 300 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. See Virtual Machine Resource and Performance Checks for more information. 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.
