Increase Memory and Core on Cisco MNT Persona?

[dyuen001]

We currently use Cisco ISE 2.0.1 with 8 cores and 64GB memory for MNT node.  Can I increase memory to 96GB and to 16 cores?

[Damien Miller]

You can and it will run.  What problem are you trying to solve by doing this?

From personal experience, I have found that increasing the core count has the largest impact on report generation times.  I cannot quantify the impact of additional memory above 64GB.

just want to exceed little of SNS3595 spec. since we have extra memory.  Thank You.

Likely to do nothing. We only use up to the amount designed for the system

In ISE 2.4 we allow mnt to use more for a large vm but there are special coding changes done for that. It’s a super MNT and mentioned in the Cisco live 2018 Brksec-3699
