log4j hotfix CSCwa47133 - ISE distributed environment

Hello guys,

In a distributed environment is there a specific order in which the hot fix needs to be done? I'm having an 11 node setup, with 2 PAN. I assume the patch should start with the primary PAN, secondary PAN and then all the other PSN nodes. Is this correct?

Have someone already did it?

Thank you!

 - I don't think it really matters , because for this patch , no ise (internal) communications dependencies are involved.

I can confirm that the order it is applied in does not matter. You just need to apply the hotfix to each node in the order of your choosing keeping in mind that the services will restart when you run it on that specific node, so most would do it one node at a time.

Do you know what the recommendations are with the log4j hotfix if you have PAN failover enabled? Should this be disabled before applying the hotfix or does it not matter?

I would disable it before applying this hotfix, you don't want to take the extended outage for both PANs switching around on you while you're doing this work.

Thank you! Really helpful.

Yesterday evening I patched our 11 virtual nodes environment. Started with the far PSNs and ending with the 2 PAN nodes, for which I did manual failover - PA PM and upgrade the SA SM.

Downtime per application restart ~ 10 minutes.

Could you please provide a link to guide which explains the procedure step by step?. I am doing it for very first time and we have total 6 PSN nodes and 2 PAN nodes in HA mode. 

Everything what you need to do is specified in the release notes of the patch. See description below.

1.copy the patch to a repository which is reachable from ISE

2.connect CLI to each node, copy the patch from repo and update the application

It doesn't matter the order, the cluster will not brake as this is a hotfix. The downtime is around 10-15 minutes per node. Do them 1 by 1.
