Deploying Cisco ISE 2.7 with NAS Support

[Terence Lockette]

Hello all,

I came across this forum a few weeks ago in which is looks like ISE can use NAS for storage but the original poster couldn't find any documentation for how to deploy it.  I am in the same boat as we are about to move from 2.3 to 2.7 in a complete rebuild and I would like to know how to deploy ISE using NAS.  We are using a distributed deployment and would like to be pointed to where I can find a guide on how to get ISE running with NAS support.

Thanks!

This is more of a question around VMware than it is a question about ISE. In VMware, you would create a datastore that uses your NAS/SAN storage array and use that datastore for your ISE VMs.

In my home lab, for example, I created an NFS share on my Netgear NAS, created a datastore in vSphere using that share, and use that datastore for various VMs I'm running.

See this VMware documentation for a start.

Ok that makes sense. I thought it would be odd for ISE to support this
type of storage but not provide any documentation on how to implement it.
Thanks!
