When sizing the Cisco ISE deployment, see the Deployment Size and Scaling Recommendations section for details on the number and size of appliances required for your deployment. This form factor is available only as a VM in Release 2.4 and later, and requires a large VM license. Additionally, battery-backed controllerĬache can significantly improve write operations. Controller options such as RAID 10 (also knownĪs 1+0) can offer higher overall write performance and redundancy than RAID 5, for example. Paravirtual (default for RHEL 7 64-bit) or LSI Logic Parallelįor best performance and redundancy, a caching RAID controller is recommended. We recommend the VMFS file system because it is most extensively tested, but other file systems, transports, and media canĪlso be deployed provided they meet the above requirements. See Virtual Machine Resource and Performance Checks for more information.

Deploy a storage system that meets these performance criteria and is supported by VMwareĬisco ISE provides a number of methods to verify if your storage system meets these minimum requirements before, during, andĪfter Cisco ISE installation. The storage system for the Cisco ISE virtual appliance requires a minimum write performance of 50 MB per second and a read More than one virtual disk to meet the disk space requirement, the installer may not recognize all the disk space. When you create the Virtual Machine for Cisco ISE, use a single virtual disk that meets the storage requirement.

The OVA template reservations for the base SNS platforms are provided in the table below. You cannot use the Large VM as a PAN, PSN, or pxGrid This size OVA file is only for use as a performance-enhanced MnT node. The ISE 2.2 OVA templates are not compatible with VMware web client for vCenter 6.5. The OVA templates simplify ISE virtual appliance deployment by automatically applying the minimum resources required However, it is important that you ensure the minimum requirements and resource reservations specified in this documentĪre met. If you need to customize the disk size, CPU, or memory allocation, you can manually deploy Cisco ISE using the standard. For additional information about disk space requirements, see Disk Space Requirements. The 600 GB and 1.2 TB OVA templates are recommended to meet the minimum requirements for ISE nodes that run the Administration The 200 GB OVA templates are sufficient for Cisco ISE nodes that serve as dedicated Policy Service or pxGrid nodes.
