ASR9006 license in wrong location

[aacole]

How do I change the license location?

This router has the following error in the log:

LC/0/1/CPU0:Jun 12 11:59:12.171 : rsi_agent[313]: %LICENSE-ASR9K_LICENSE-2-INFRA_VRF_NEEDED : 2 VRF(s) are configured without a valid license / license configuration for A9K-iVRF-LIC in violation of the Software Right To Use Agreement. This feature may be disabled by the system without the appropriate license. Contact Cisco to purchase the license immediately to avoid potential service interruption.

Looking at this indicates I have a valid licence, but that it is in the wrong location, on 0/0/CPU0, not 0/1/CPU0 which is where the SE card is located.

How do I change this? Have tried through admin-config, no joy.

Hi Andy,

Please see the below from

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr9000/software/asr9k_r4.2/system_management/configuration/guide/b_sysman_cg42asr9k_chapter_0101.html#con_1039995

Slot-Based Licenses

Feature licenses are allocated to router slots and not cards.  Therefore, if a card is replaced, the existing license is applied to the  newly inserted card. For example, if you have eight licenses for  Layer 3 VPN in the system, you can configure Layer 3 VPN features on any  eight cards in  the router, and the licenses are allocated to the slots  within which the cards are installed. If a card is removed from one of  these licensed slots, say slot 3, and entered into an empty slot with no  license, say slot 5, the license remains with slot 3 and the feature  cannot be activated on slot 5 with the permanent license entered earlier  by the user. In this case, you can release the license to the  appropriate license pool by removing the configuration of the card  (while it is inserted), or by using the  license   move   slot  command. When you configure the feature on slot 5, the license is checked out.

Also see this link for the command usage

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr9000/software/asr9k_r4.1/system_management/command/reference/b_sysman_cr41asr9k_chapter_01110.html#wp2063464690

Licenses can be moved only if they are in the available state. In  other words, you have             to clear the feature configuration  before a license can be released back to the             appropriate  license pool.

As the license is not currently available 'license move' will not work. This is because you are using features required by the license on 0/0/CPU0

Let me know if the 'license move slot' command does not work along with the syslog saying why it failed.

Hi Sam,

Thanks, that worked for me.

I have another  question about licencies. if I have a router that has a management VRF configured, and this vrf is only appled to a loopback interface, not a physical interface do I need a licence?

Hi Andy,

TODAY: The LIC MGR will not query the system for a license when there is a vrf configured on virtual interfaces such as a BVI, loopback, or bundle interface.

This may change in the future.

HTH,

Sam
