ISE 2.0 on KVM

[Johandy01]

Hi all,

with ISE 2.0 the support for installation on Linux KVM is introduced. To test this in our envirionment we tried to install it from the ise-2.0.0.306.SPA.x86_64.iso.

Unfortunately, the installer stops after the hardware check, with a message "No CISCO Unique Device Identifier found" 

When we run the hardware test option from the submenu, the installer tells us that the KVM virtual machine is not a VM..

Has anybody allready istalled ISE 2.0 on KVM.?? Or how can we make the UDI work?

We're runnning KVM on Ubuntu server / Openstack on radhat. On both platform the same issues.

Please provide me some hints!!

I have not personally installed it on KVM. However, a couple of things to check:

1. Make sure that you assigned all of the required resources

2. Follow the Hardware Installation Guide:

Thank you for rating helpful posts!

Even after following all guideline on Ubuntu 16.10 it gives the same error about UDI...please can you confirm if it is working on KVM and how?

Hi,

we faced the same issue with KVM and ISE 2.3, but we could solve them. Please try the following steps:

1) shutdown your VM

2) search for the configuration file of your VM:
root@*****:~# cd /etc/libvirt
root@*****:/etc/libvirt# find -name *.xml
./qemu/"ISENAME".xml (f. e.   ./qemu/PANTEST04102.xml)

3) edit the file of your VM:    ->>virsh edit PANTEST04102

4) please add the following directly above <os>

<sysinfo type='smbios'>
<system>
<entry name='product'>KVM</entry>
</system>
<baseBoard>
<entry name='product'>KVM</entry>
</baseBoard>
</sysinfo>

5) add: 

<smbios mode='sysinfo'/> 

in to <o>

I

I hope this will help you
