Moving interface to another VDC nexus 7k

[imfvieira]

Hello,

I was trying to move a interface from a VDC to another.

Found the document: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/nx-os/virtual_device_context/configuration/guide/vdc_mgmt.html#wp1170127

And tryed to remove from VDC.

When I was trying to do it couldn´t remove it.

     (config-vdc)# no allocate ?

       fcoe-vlan-range  Vlans reserved for FCoE

       shared           Shared this port using the reserved FCoE vlans

I can allocate interfaces.

(config-vdc)# allocate interface ethernet ?

  <1-253>  Slot/chassis number (config-vdc)# allocate interface ethernet ?
  <1-253>  Slot/chassis number

I was looking for some info at foruns and I saw something about type of modules, but looks like one F2 type have problems. Also checked the user-role and I have network-admin.

This is the output of show module:

Mod  Ports  Module-Type                                       Model              Status

---      -----    -----------------------------------                      ------------------ ----------

1       32     10 Gbps Ethernet XL Module                N7K-M132XP-12L     ok

2       48     1000 Mbps Optical Ethernet XL Modul   N7K-M148GS-11L     ok

3       48     10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet XL Module  N7K-M148GT-11L     ok

4       48     10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet XL Module  N7K-M148GT-11L     ok

I want to move Ethernet3/32.

This is the source VDC:

vdc nanme id 2
  allocate interface Ethernet1/1,Ethernet1/3,Ethernet1/5,Ethernet1/7
  allocate interface Ethernet2/1-4
  allocate interface Ethernet3/1-2,Ethernet3/32
  boot-order 1
  limit-resource vlan minimum 16 maximum 4094
  limit-resource monitor-session minimum 0 maximum 2
  limit-resource monitor-session-erspan-dst minimum 0 maximum 23
  limit-resource vrf minimum 2 maximum 1000
  limit-resource port-channel minimum 0 maximum 768
  limit-resource u4route-mem minimum 8 maximum 8
  limit-resource u6route-mem minimum 4 maximum 4
  limit-resource m4route-mem minimum 8 maximum 8
  limit-resource m6route-mem minimum 5 maximum 5

This is the destination VDC:

vdc name id 4

  allocate interface Ethernet1/17-32

  allocate interface Ethernet2/9-12

  allocate interface Ethernet3/3,Ethernet3/9-30

  boot-order 1

  limit-resource vlan minimum 16 maximum 4094

  limit-resource monitor-session minimum 0 maximum 2

  limit-resource monitor-session-erspan-dst minimum 0 maximum 23

  limit-resource vrf minimum 2 maximum 1000

  limit-resource port-channel minimum 0 maximum 768

  limit-resource u4route-mem minimum 8 maximum 8

  limit-resource u6route-mem minimum 4 maximum 4

  limit-resource m4route-mem minimum 8 maximum 8

  limit-resource m6route-mem minimum 5 maximum 5

I tryed to use allocate with "shared" but it didn´t work. All intertafaces looks like "ok" on membership status.

Hi,

In order to move/add ports from one VDC to another, you would need to be in admin VDC.

Now I understood what I´ve done wrong...
We have 4 VDCs. On my mind first (ID 1) should be admin and it was default vdc.
Now I will look how to change it to Admin-VDC.

Thanks.
