Cisco ISE restore from VM snapshot

[Andrew Chapman]

Hello,

We have a distributed ISE deployment (1.3.0.876) in which a patch install failed and rendered our PAN unreachable. We have promoted our secondary to be the new primary and would like to restore the snapshot on the "old" PAN. My question is how exactly does the snapshot restore affect the state of the admin nodes? Since our secondary is the current primary, does it retain its role even after the old restores?

Thanks,

Andrew

Why not bring the VM up offline and set the role to Secondary before reconnecting?

Hi,

It will retain its old settings. You can after you have reverted the snapshot reboot the device. It will pickup there is already a primary node active and assume the standby roll.

Regards,

Jason
