The Specified Virtual Disk Needs Repair

Using Vmware Workstation is a nice tool to practice Cisco technologies. And sometimes you encounter errors that drives you nuts such as “The specified virtual disk needs repair” error message. This error could occur for example when you brutally shut down a virtual machine. But no worries, there is a solution. If you are running a Windows host machine, run a Windows command line and type this command: vmware-vdiskmanager -R “{path of the vmdk virtual disk}” In my case, here is how I solved the problem: d:\Program Files (x86)\Vmware>vmware-vdiskmanager -R "D:\Virtual Machines\ISE 2.0\ise2.0-000001.vmdk"The virtual disk, 'D:\Virtual Machines\ISE 2.0\ise2.0-000001.vmdk', was corrupted and has been successfully repaired.

Cisco ISE Upgrade 2.0 to 2.1

In this article I am going to lay the important facts for doing a Cisco ISE upgrade, from version 2.0 to 2.1. These recommendations are also valid for other upgrade versions. My tools are: Vmware Workstation Pro 12 Cisco ISE 2.0.x virtual appliance software, as initial version Cisco ISE 2.1 upgrade patch ise-upgradebundle-2.0.x-to-2.1.0.474.SPA.x86_64.tar.gz 3Cdeamon TFTP server I used at first Filezilla FTP server. It sucks. The download process hangs and freezes often. I spent a whole sunday afternoon figuring what the problem could be. I switched to using the manual CLI command to copy the upgrad bundle from an FTP server. I got errors during the copy process too. By the way, when you use FTP as your copy process, the FTP server must be already declared as a repository in CLI in ISE, and the CLI command is: copy ftp://192.168.1.254/ise-upgradebundle-2.0.x-to-2.1.0.474.SPA.x86_64.tar.gz disk:\ this simply did not work on my lab. then found this link and followed the instructions: htt...
