Hi,

I keep getting this error messages after upgrading Cisco Nexus 9K to NXOS: version 10.4(3) [Feature Release].

you not able to access the device at all ? if you have access to cli

may be check the your AAA config - check the release notes any syntax changed ?

The strange part is that I can access the device, using AAA and local console without issues.

I was just concerned that this log message keeps popping up.

we have a second N9k which I upgraded to version 10.2(4) [Maintenance Release], which seems fine. both these devices are operating as vPC peers without issues.

Maybe its cosmetic error.
