So a quick Google-search regarding bootable USB flash drives with UEFI support gave me the solution. And since the Cisco procedure doesn’t mention this fact, or that the recommended tool doesn’t provide an option to create that doesn’t really help. Something not readily available on your average drive (obviously). The solution to the problem is that the USB drive needs to be fit to boot on UEFI hardware. No USB flash drive available in the boot menu (AAAAARGH). No problem, clean/strip the drive, reformat, and re-create the USB with the ISO…. There were however two USB partitions I could choose from, so the drive references in the config file on the drive didn’t match. And guess what After writing the ISO with the Fedora LiveUSB Creator, the drive was recognized by the Boot menu. A drive that I had used to reinstall MacOS. Since I didn’t have the time to wait another couple hours I decided to give another USB flash drive a try…. It can’t be that this was the only way to reinstall the software. Note that the CICM and laptop were connected to a 1Gbps switch.ĭue to some unforeseen circumstances the KVM connection failed during the first try, so I could start over…. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. Pushing an entire installation (the ISO is nearly 8GB) through a browser window takes several hours. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. It’s fine for configuring the appliance when only mouse/keyboard info needs to be transmitted. This works pretty good, but there is a small problem with it. The KVM method uses a browser window in which you can map a ISO to a virtual DVD drive.

So after wasting several hours doing that I opted for the KVM install method. No way that the Boot menu saw the USB flash drive.

After trying several USB flash drives with the tool recommended in the Cisco manual I gave up. The preferred option is the USB flash-drive, since it’s the fastest, but only if you are able to boot from USB…. Hookup a USB DVD player with a dual-layer DVD containing the appropriate ISO file Use the JAVA/HTML5 KVM option through the CICM interface Write the ISE iso to USB and boot / install from the USB flash-drive The version (while writing this post) is v2.4.įor a new implementation of Cisco ISE I had to re-image 2 SNS-3595 appliances with the latest software.
