ISE 2.1 to ISE 2.6

[benjmoor]

I'm heading to a customer the week of July 22nd to help with a new ISE install.  That being said, they have an old ISE install (2.1) that didn't go well and was meant to be a migration from ACS.  The clustering never took ahold correctly in their 2.1 install (I wasn't on the account at the time) and there are several other small nagging issues that have lead them to purchase new appliances and move to 2.6.  With that in mind - this is for device management authentication only (for now) and the configuration for that purpose is good.  How would the community recommend we get the necessary configuration (devices/groups/etc) from the 2.1 install into the NEW 2.6 install?

If only copying network devices, network device groups, internal users, and internal groups, then we may use CSV export these items from ISE 2.1, adjust the columns, and then import them to ISE 2.6. Otherwise, we may take a configuration backup from ISE 2.1 and restore it to ISE 2.6.

From ISE 2.1 to 2.6, we will get the new policy UI so please take a look at the UI walkthrough at
