ISE 2.2 patch 9 - Large VM ova

[bpeek]

Team,

Was wondering if ISE 2.2 patch 9 supports the large VM ova? My understanding is that the VM sizing was introduced in 2.4. 

I  have a customer w/ 80k concurrent endpoints is having issues with UI responsiveness and was hoping I could increase the size of the VM on the MnT node and have ISE 2.2 expand it's resources instead of upgrading to 2.4.

The Deployment is distributed with dedicated HA 2MnT & 2Admin (3495 VM specs) with 8 PSN 3495 specs.

My experience is that the UI of 2.4 is no faster with a super MNT, but some reports run slightly quicker.  2.2 will boot and run the MNT if you give it 256 GB because it's RHEL underneath, but it's not a supported or tested deployment model.

ISE 2.2 is not offering with a "Super-MnT" OVA file. You would need manually adjust the VM hardware settings for CPU cores and Memory allocations, if you want to try that.

Damien Miller has been working with Cisco TAC and ISE ESC teams for various issues. I would suggest you to do the same to narrow down your issues and eliminate any potential configuration problems.
