Nexus5K cannot update Radius config

[the-lebowski]

Hello

I am trying to update the radius configuration on our Nexus5K.  I simply need to add another radius host and remove the current one.  However when I attempt to add the new one I get this message:

When attempting to add the new host:

sw5K1(config)# radius host xx.xx.xx.xx key ########

Previous session start, abort or commit operation in progress

configuration for xx.xx.xx.xx could not be updated

Current config:

sw5K1(config)# show radius-server

retransmission count:1

timeout value:5

deadtime value:0

source interface:any available

total number of servers:1

following RADIUS servers are configured:

        uu.uu.uu.uu:

                available for authentication on port:1812

                available for accounting on port:1813

                RADIUS shared secret:********

For the life of me I dont know how to proceed.  I am logged in remotely via console with my domain (radius) account.  I thought I might be able to login locally via the console with a local u/p but it forces me to login via radius. 

Any ideas?

I had the same issue and discovered that it was because "TACACS  distribute" was enabled. Removed that and had no porblem updating servers.

As you already have a radius server on NX-OS so you first need to remove all the assosiated feature tied to the server group. It's would not be possible to update the config for a RADIUS server when there is an active AAA feature tied to the server group. Could you please paste the existing configuration of AAA on nexus here.

Did you get a chance to look into the issue again?

Its no longer an issue as that switch was repurposed.  But when I was troubleshooting this I ended up just configuring an incorrect radius key so it would fail on the first server and use the second one.  Not ideal but it worked.
