TCAM Allocation Failure

mpr5231
Level 1
Level 1

Have a pair of N7K switches (hot standby) running 6.1.  Adding a PBR to a VLAN interface, one switch accepts the command no problem, the other I get "% Could not apply PBR route-map - Tcam Allocation Failure".  Tried rebooting the switch, no change.  This is the only PBR on the switches.  If I try to apply the PBR map to a different VLAN interface, it works.

We're cutting over to 9k switches next month, so I don't want to spend a ton of time on this, just wondering if there are any quick fixes I can try. 

Any input is appreciated.

""" If I try to apply the PBR map to a different VLAN interface"""

I think this not relate to TCAM it relate to set <> under PBR I think, 
share the PBR let me check it 

ip access-list pbr-acl
permit ip host 10.*.*.* any

ip access-list pbr-deny1-acl
permit ip host 10.*.*.* 10.0.0.0/8
ip access-list pbr-deny2-acl
permit ip host 10.*.*.* 172.16.0.0/12
ip access-list pbr-deny3-acl
permit ip host 10.*.*.* 192.168.0.0/16

route-map pbr-map deny 10
match ip address pbr-deny1-acl
route-map pbr-map deny 20
match ip address pbr-deny2-acl
route-map pbr-map deny 30
match ip address pbr-deny3-acl
route-map pbr-map permit 40
match ip address pbr-acl
set ip next-hop 10.*.*.*

int vlan***
ip policy route-map pbr-map

why I think that this issue about VLAN not NSK ?
you mention that the PBR can apply to other VLAN but this VLAN can not.
for give me little Ack. but I Here try to help you to classify issue 
the TCAM in NSK have two TCAM T0 and T1 and each one have Bank B0 and B1 

some feature is one TCAM/Bank and other not, this make feature you want to apply can not be in same interface/vlan "sorry".
to be sure try below command add feature you config under VLAN to this command see if it appear in same TCAM/Bank or not.

show hardware access-list input interface feature-combo

Thanks for the reply.  If it was an issue with the VLAN, wouldn't the command fail in both switches, not just the one?

The command

show hardware access-list input interface feature-combo

  did not work - it gave an error at "interface":

show hardware access-list input ?
config Parsed policy software database
entries Tcam entries
l4ops L4 operations information
merge Tcam entries merge information
redirect Redirect resource information
sampler With sampler details
statistics Aggregate statistics

show hardware access-list input vlan feature-combo

instead of interface use VLAN  

also for other NSK, are you config same feature as this NSK ?
the issue is that if feature like RACL config with PBR and the TCAM bank is mismatch then the config is reject. 

Hello -

VLAN is not an option either. 

SW1# sho hardware access-list input ?
config Parsed policy software database
entries Tcam entries
l4ops L4 operations information
merge Tcam entries merge information
redirect Redirect resource information
sampler With sampler details
statistics Aggregate statistic

The other switch is getting an identical configuration, the two are running as a hot standby pair.

Thanks for your continued help.
