Nexus 7700 TCAM

Level 3

Hi 

We are trying to migrate N7000 (F2) to N7700 (F3). While copying configuration and reloading N77 we see following error 

....Tcam will be over used, please enable bank
chaining and/or turn off atomic update.If bank-chaining is enabled on other modules
and this is a new linecard insertion,please enable bank-chaining prior to reloading
this module.

Looking further into the mater reveals that it is the atomic updates that stops it. 

When we dig down further 

Show hardware access-list resource entries module x

on N7000 shows total approx 8000 entries for all 4 banks having 2 vdc + admin while N7700 shows only 4000 entries for all 4 banks having 2 vdc + admin

I wonder what determines these resource entries and how can I set a higher resource entries for certain vdc ?
