Solution

As there is still no Patch that solves this BUG ID, it is necessary to open a TAC Case.

The normalise_acc.sql file will be provided by the TAC and must be copied to the disk: of PMnT & SMnT (Primary & Secondary MnT).

The steps below must be executed, both in PMnT and SMnT:

 

ise/admin# copy ftp://<FTP_IP_Addr>/normalise_acc.sql disk:
Enter username: <username>
Enter password: <password>

ise/admin# dir
Directory of disk:/
...
