Cisco Nexus 5600 Series - EEM Virtualization Support; EEM Licensing Requirements; Prerequisites for EEM; Guidelines and Limitations for EEM

EEM Virtualization Support
You configure EEM in the virtual device context (VDC) that you are logged into. By default, Cisco NX-OS
places you in the default VDC. You must be in this VDC to configure policies for module-based events.
Not all actions or events are visible in all VDCs. You must have network-admin or vdc-admin privileges to
configure policies.
EEM Licensing Requirements
License RequirementProduct
EEM requires no license. Any feature not included in a license package
is bundled with the Cisco NX-OS system images and is provided at no
extra charge to you. For a complete explanation of the Cisco NX-OS
licensing scheme, see the Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide.

Prerequisites for EEM
EEM has the following prerequisite:
•
You must have network-admin or vdc-admin user privileges to configure EEM.
Guidelines and Limitations for EEM
EEM has the following configuration guidelines and limitations:
•
The maximum number of configurable EEM policies is 500.
•
Action statements within your user policy or overriding policy should not negate each other or adversely
affect the associated system policy.
•
If you want to allow a triggered event to process any default actions, you must configure the EEM policy
to allow the default action. For example, if you match a CLI command in a match statement, you must
add the event-default action statement to the EEM policy or EEM does not allow the CLI command to
execute.
•
An override policy that consists of an event statement and no action statement triggers no action and no
notification of failures.
•
An override policy without an event statement overrides all possible events in the system policy.
•
In regular command expressions, all keywords must be expanded and only the * symbol can be used
for argument replacement.
•
EEM event correlation supports up to four event statements in a single policy. The event types can be
the same or different, but only these event types are supported: cli, counter, module, module-failure, oir,
snmp, syslog, and track.
