simulator license problem

Hello,

I hope, someone can help.

I have installed a two node cdot cluster in ESX.

On the system manager on the "license" GUI  I get following error:

 

"Data ONTAP API Failed :Loop detected in next() for table compliance_status. Next on "NFS 1-81-0000000000000004082368511" returned "NFS 1-81-0000000000000004082368511". (Error: 13001) "

 

no licenses are listed at all. 

 

I have the same problem with ontap 8.3.2  and ontap 9.0.

On the Clustershell  I wanted to create a  flex clone.  first I added the simulator flexclone license. But creation of a flexclone does not work because the system dont find any license.

 

Another info: In the Moment when i created a cluster with the first node,  I  found out, that the "License" Gui on the systemmanager is ok . no Errors.But as soon I joined the second node in the cluster, than I get the error.

"Data ONTAP API Failed :Loop detected in next() for table compliance_status. Next on "NFS 1-81-0000000000000004082368511" returned "NFS 1-81-0000000000000004082368511". (Error: 13001) "

 

Can you help?

Thank you.

Licenses are node locked to the serial number of the controller.  It looks like you are using the license key for serial number 4082368511, so check that it matches the serial number of your node.

demo::> node show -fields serialnumber 
node  serialnumber 
----- ------------ 
demo9 4082368-51-1 

 

The cluster base license key has to be installed first, so check that as well.

 

demo::> license show
  (system license show)

Serial Number: 1-80-000008
Owner: demo
Package           Type     Description           Expiration
----------------- -------- --------------------- -------------------
Base              license  Cluster Base License  -

If both of those check out, you should be able to add feature keys from either the GUI or the CLI,.

Did you change the serial # of the second node at the LOADER firmware prompt before you  joined it into the cluster ?

 


I hope this response has been helpful to you.

Start by running these commands and posting the output:

node show -fields serialnumber

system license show -instance

system license status show

The first will tell us the serial number(s) of your node(s)

 

The second will tell us which licenses have been installed.

 

The third will tell us which features were successfully licensed..

It would appear that both of your nodes have the same serial number. Try building a new pair, but make sure the second node uses a different serial number and system id than the first.

Hi,

I had the problem , because i forgot to configure the point  "configuring serial number and system ID for the second node"  of the pdf "Simulate_ONTAP_9.0_Installation_and_Setup_Guide.pdf

Each Simulate ONTAP node in a cluster must have a unique System ID....
