Hi All,

I'm using ISE 2.6 and when i try to backup the configuration via SFTP, I'm getting below error. Does anyone come across this before. Please advise.

Have you already done what it is instructing, adding the server host key to the CA store? This is done from the PAN node CLI by issuing "crypto host_key add <server>" command.

Thank you Damien, it worked after adding the host-key
