Key Points to Consider

  • Backup Your Data: Before performing any major updates, ensure you have a complete backup of your ISE configuration and databases.
  • Check Upgrade Path: Ensure that you're following a supported upgrade path. Cisco provides upgrade guides that detail compatible versions and the sequence you must follow.
  • System Downtime: Plan for potential system downtime. Updates can take significant time, and you might need to schedule this during a maintenance window.
