Revert Nexus 1000V from Advanced Edition to Essential

[timothy tomkinson]

We're planning to convert some of our Nexus 1000V from Advanced edition to Essential edition as we're not using any of the advanced features.

The process looks easy enough http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/nexus-1000v-switch-vmware-vsphere/qa_c67-717571.html

Are there any gotchas/config changes or expected outages when doing the conversion? These Nexus 1000V are across a large prod environment (50+ blades) so I want to know any potential issues before entering a change window.

You can convert from advanced to essential on the fly with no expected outages as long as you are sure you are not using any of the advanced features.

Hi,

The roll back can be done any time? From Essential to Advanced?

Tks

Yes, provided you have enough licenses for the Advanced feature set.
