Cisco ISE cluster formation best practices - Endpoints status issue

Hello,

 

We have 6 ISE nodes and we would like to assign a particular role to each of them. At the moment 2 of them are in the cluster and have all the roles assigned, 1 node as Primary on each role and the other as secondary. The 4 other ISE nodes are as standalone. Since it is a production environment, we would like to know which could be the best practices to form the 6 node cluster.

 

We did some testing in our lab. And we tested the scenario of joining each of the standalone into the cluster one by one. First we removed the role in a particular node and then assigned it to the new joining node.

Generally, this worked good, but we experienced some issues. The connectivity status of the endpoints was not correct. Devices later were listed as disconnected, even though they were connected. Endpoints that joined the network when PSN1 (Radius) was down, faced also connectivity status problems. That was solved by a port reset on the switch. But this late workaround is not accepted.
