Cisco ISE Restore from Backup

[dnnate]

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 ?

[dnnate]

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

you can offline prepare.

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 !!!
