Cisco ISE Config Restore from previous Version

[awatson20]

We are wanting to restore an ISE configuration backup from a version 1.2 deployment, to a new deployment on version 1.4.  Is there a way to perform the restore without overwriting the IP Address configuration on the new 1.4 nodes?

Cisco ISE, Release 1.4 supports restore from backups obtained from Release 1.2 and later. Yes while restoring the configuration on ISE 1.4 - don't select "include-adeos" - this actually have the ip address and other information that we don't want to overwrite.

Here is a procedure:

When you take backup on ISE 1.2 use the below listed command:

backup [{ backup-name } repository { repository-name } ise-config encryption-key hash | plain { encryption-key name }]

When you restore the same configuration on ISE 1.4 use this command:

restore [{filename} repository {repository-name} encryption-key hash | plain {encryption-key-name}]
