Symptoms

License related alarms observed.

May 13 01:42:28.102 host alarmd[14348]: Alarm set: License id=0, color=YELLOW, class=CHASSIS, reason=100 ADVANCE Bandwidth (in gbps)s(315) require a license
May 13 01:42:28.102 host craftd[13062]: Minor alarm set, 100 ADVANCE Bandwidth (in gbps)s(315) require a license
 

Solution

The Premium BW License can be used by the Advance BW as well. However, if the aggregate of the Advanced BW and Premium BW usage is higher than the installed license, then the alarm will be raised as expected.

In this example, “Used” is 4200 in Adv BW, whereas the installed is only 4000 in prem BW. Hence as the usage is higher than installed, the alarm is raised as expected. Customer will need to add/increase the license as per the usage.
