Nexus 9k - Module 1 returned status "Sufficient free entries are not available in TCAM bank"

Hi All, 

Fairly new to the Nexus line so this is a new one to me, i was in the middle of making some changes to our QOS model and the follwoing error sprung up halfway through applying service policies to interfaces;

20:46:18 || Core-MAX-EMP-9372PX-01(config-if)# interface port-channel20
20:46:18 || Core-MAX-EMP-9372PX-01(config-if)# service-policy type qos input PM-MAX-MARKING-POLICY
20:46:19 || Core-MAX-EMP-9372PX-01(config-if)# service-policy type queuing output PM-MAX-QUEUING-POLICY
20:46:20 || Core-MAX-EMP-9372PX-01(config-if)# interface port-channel21
20:46:21 || Core-MAX-EMP-9372PX-01(config-if)# service-policy type qos input PM-MAX-MARKING-POLICY
20:46:21 || rERROR: Unable to perform the action due to incompatibility: Module 1 returned status "Sufficient free entries are not available in TCAM bank"
20:46:21 ||

I rolled back the change to investigate/log with Cisco, at this stage i havent logged a ticket with TAC, thought i'd try here first....;-)

After looking into it a bit i see there is a fair amount of info for the 7k but not a lot for the 9k, surprise surprise!

I did find a doco Configure QoS TCAM Carving 7.0 but i'm not sure wheather i should be carving or resource pooling as alluded to in a number of 7k articles? Can we resource pool on the 9k?

See attached for output of;

  • sh hardware access-list resource utilization
  • sh hardware access-list tcam region

I note that Ingress IPv4 Port QoS is almost full for instance 0x0 but empty for instance 0x1

I guess im worried that if i have to carve, and i lower a particular allocation that it will affect something else.....

Any help would be appreciated!
