SOFTWARE ADVISORY NOTICE 

Dear Cisco Customer,

Cisco engineering has identified a software issue with the release that you have selected that may affect your use of this software. Please review the Software Advisory notice here to determine if the issue applies to your environment. You may proceed to download this software if you have no concerns with the issue described.

 For more comprehensive information about what is included in this software, please refer to the Cisco software Release Notes, available from the Product Selector tool. From this page, select the product you are interested in. Release Notes are under "General Information" on the product page.

Reason for Advisory:

CDETS No: CSCva68421

The defect occurs when a SMU is used with a F3 line card in a Nexus 7000 chassis running an affected software release. The SMU can be installed and activated, however a future reload of the software on the chassis will result in deactivation of the installed SMU and further SMUs cannot be installed in the module. There is no impact if there are no F3 cards in the Nexus 7000 chassis or there are no SMUs installed.

As documented in the table below, only the NXOS Software Releases mentioned under “Affected Software Release” column are affected, no other NXOS release is impacted by CSCva68421. It is recommended that you migrate to the “Replacement Software Release” if you are running an “Affected Software Release”. No action is required if you are not running an “Affected Software Release” in the table below.

Symptom:
A SMU for F3 line cards will not function correctly. After install, activation, commit and reload of the switch, the SMU on F3 line card will not be active.
Reload and ISSU SMU will not function on a F3 line card.

Conditions:
Occur only for the F3 line card. Other modules function correctly.

Workaround:
Upgrade to NX-OS 7.2(2)D1(2)

Disclaimer:

To increase availability, Cisco recommends that you upgrade affected images with the suggested replacement software images as soon as they become available.

The terms and conditions that governed your rights and obligations and those of Cisco, with respect to the original software will apply to the replacement software.
