ISE Upgrade Query

[benolyndav]

HI

i have downloaded the the 3.3 upgrade bundle to our ISE Nodes, When I select the Sec PAN to be upgraded its stating 480 mins is this accerate, We are upgrading from 3. to 3.3

Also I have ran the purge from the gui fro data older than 30 days,  Also is it possible to upgrade using cli now I have used the gui to download the bundle to the nodes?  If so would upgrade using cli method be quicker ?

Thanks

@Rob Ingram Yes its running and I can connect via gui, another thing I do not see an option for RHEL 8.4  in edit vm any ideas? its still on RHEL 7

Edit SSH is fine

@benolyndav not sure, check the service sshd settings - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/2-6/cli_guide/b_ise_CLIReferenceGuide_26/b_ise_CLIReferenceGuide_26_chapter_011.html#wp1664237597

Have you applied the latest 3.3 patch yet post upgrade?

Isn't that related to Vmware then? What version of Vmware do you run?

@Rob Ingram found it compatibilitymode in edit vm settings

I personally always try to upgrade using CLI as I find it more reliable and quicker since there are no dependencies on the web browsers. If you already uploaded the upgrade image to the local disk then you can still continue the upgrade via CLI. You just need to create a local repository on each node if you don't have one already, and point to the local repository when you issue the  readiness tool and upgrade prepare commands.

If you have enough VM resources  upgrading ISE using the Backup and Restore method always saves time and cuts down on risk without having to purge any data.
