DCNM & Nexus 7K VDC's

[c.walsh]

Can DCNM manage interfaces on a 7K in different VDC's with a single License?

Basically we have a Nexus 7010 which is deploted with 3 x VDC's, but we only have a single DCNM LAN license for this device.

Can we use DCNM to manage the interfaces between the different VDCs with a single license, via the admin VDC, or do we need 3 x licenses to achieve this?

Thanks

Your license will not be able to manage VDCs on the N7K, you need LAN Enterprise which is not free:

Jerry,

     we have the enterprise license, my question is do we need a license per VDC?

cheers

According from my research, 1 license per chassis (not per VDC).
