Change the ACI license from Satellite to Direct Connect CSSM

[oliveirav]

Hello everyone,

I have the following task to complete:
Change my ACI license method from Satellite to Direct Connect CSSM. My question is, will this action have any impact on the Spines and Leaves? Should I plan for a maintenance window to carry out this task? I'm not sure if the evaluation period has already expired.

Thank you!

Hi @oliveirav 

Changing the ACI license method from Satellite to Direct Connect CSSM (Cisco Smart Software Manager) is primarily a licensing configuration change and does not directly impact the operation of the Spines and Leaves in your ACI fabric.

While the change itself is non-disruptive, it is safer to plan for a maintenance window if there is any uncertainty about the evaluation period or CSSM connectivity.

Hope This Helps!!!
