Hi Guys,
Problem/Issue :
I have seen following warning message in Nexus 7710 chassis running version 6.2.8a, while i did not have any FCoE license file on chassis.
Switch-01# sh license usage
Feature Ins Lic Status Expiry Date Comments

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MPLS_PKG No - Unused -
STORAGE-ENT No - Unused -
VDC_LICENSES Yes 4 In use Never -
FCOE-N7K-F248XP Yes 4 Unused Never 4 license(s) missing
ENHANCED_LAYER2_PKG Yes - Unused Never -
TRANSPORT_SERVICES_PKG Yes - Unused Never -
LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG Yes - Unused Never -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**** WARNING: License file(s) missing. ****
This is a clear match of defect DDTS CSCul33530 that affects NX-OS 6.2(8a).
My purpose was to just to get rid of this warning as customer didn't wanted to use this feature and they didn't even had license and still they were seeing this warning message.
couple more commands for clear view:
Switch-01# sh module

==================================================================
Solution :
workaround:
1 - run command "clear license sprom"
this will make this warning message go away but after next reboot you will still see this warning message.
permanent solution:
1 - upgrade the device to version 6.2(10)
2 - run command "clear license sprom"
3 - reload the device
this will help you to get rid of these Waring message.
I hope this will help some people who are facing this issue.
thanks.
