Question 40
During a Cisco ISE postchange review, the following is observed: A new ISE virtual machine boots with fewer vCPUs and less RAM than the Cisco-supported appliance sizing profile while an operator assumes the installation ISO guarantees capacity. What should the team change before declaring this work complete?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Choose a Cisco-supported virtual-appliance sizing profile and allocate its specified CPU, RAM, disk, and network resources. This is appropriate because iSE VM performance depends on reserved hypervisor capacity and supported resource specifications rather than the ISO image alone. It should be verified by this evidence: The VM meets the documented profile and representative authentication load remains within agreed latency and resource thresholds.
Incorrect Answers
The VM meets the documented profile and representative authentication load remains within agreed latency and resource thresholds. The repeat risk here is different: a permitted test-policy update reaches all registered nodes in the defined deployment and not unrelated standalone installations. A directly relevant preventive control is: Choose a Cisco-supported virtual-appliance sizing profile and allocate its specified CPU, RAM, disk, and network resources.
Host contention clears and RADIUS response times return within the documented service target under the same traffic. The repeat risk here is different: a permitted test-policy update reaches all registered nodes in the defined deployment and not unrelated standalone installations. A directly relevant preventive control is: Choose a Cisco-supported virtual-appliance sizing profile and allocate its specified CPU, RAM, disk, and network resources.
Review supported hypervisors and appliance sizing every time an ISE major release is adopted. The repeat risk here is different: a permitted test-policy update reaches all registered nodes in the defined deployment and not unrelated standalone installations. A directly relevant preventive control is: Choose a Cisco-supported virtual-appliance sizing profile and allocate its specified CPU, RAM, disk, and network resources.
