I have a two node deployments, Primary Admin/MNT/PSN and Secondary Admin/MNT/PSN running ISE version 2.6 patch 2. This morning when I attempted to patch them with patch 3. I see this message in console: Application patch installation failed; Server=ISE_node_1; Message=Patch 3 install timed out on node: ISE_node_2 When I ssh into ISE_node_2, I see this: sh ver Cisco Application Deployment Engine OS Release: 3.0 ADE-OS Build Version: 3.0.5.144 ADE-OS System Architecture: x86_64 Copyright (c) 2005-2019 by Cisco Systems, Inc.

Thank you for pointing the obvious.

Pretty common "error" on all the 2.x versions most learnt to ignore. You get two alerts, one for sucsess and another for failed, in the end the patch installs correctly.

It looks like they tried to address it with 2.6 p2, but if you were on p2 going to p3 you shouldn't have seen it. If you had skipped 2.6 p2, then you would see this while installing patch 3, but not when you install patch 4 in the future.
