Appendix F MPSM Licensing
MPSM Licensing Information
Node license alarms are cleared by validating licenses in the license pool. This is done by applying the
special Rekey feature license to the node using the cnflic command. When the pool licenses are
validated, any existing slot license alarms are also cleared and normal operation is restored. For the
procedure to rekey feature licenses, see
Note
If the switch is in node license alarm, you must rekey the PXM license pool before proceeding with any
other license management tasks.
Slot License Alarms
Slot license alarms are raised under the following conditions:
•
When a node license alarm is raised, all cards that are using feature licenses go into the slot license
alarm state. Slot license alarms raised under this condition can be cleared by rekeying the PXM
license pool. For the procedure to rekey feature licenses, see
.
•
The slot in alarm has acquired or oversubscribed one or more licenses while these licenses were not
available in the license pool. Slot license alarms raised under this condition are cleared by adding
the required number of licenses to the PXM license pool or by releasing corresponding licenses from
other slots so that they become available to the slot in alarm. If slots in alarm have redundancy, you
must add licenses to cover both the primary and secondary slots to clear the alarms.
On PXM1E and PXM45 platforms, use the PXM dsplicalms command to troubleshoot slot license
alarms. The output of this command will indicate which MPSM cards are in the slot license alarm state.
The following example shows the output of the PXM dsplicalms command on the PXM45 platform. In
this example, the MPSM card in slot 28 is in slot license alarm:

On PXM1E and PXM45 platforms, the output of the PXM dspliccd <slot> command also shows if a card
is in slot license alarm, and displays how much time is left in the alarm grace period and if provisioning
is allowed with the addcon command. The following example shows the output of the PXM dspliccd
<slot> command of an MPSM-8T1-FRM card in a PXM45 platform in the slot license alarm state:
