To preprovision a module in a chassis slot, use the
provision command. To remove a preprovisioned
module from a slot, use the
no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to define the modules (line card or Cisco Nexus 2000
Series Fabric Extender) to preprovision. If the card type does not match the
card in the slot or the module is not compatible with the chassis, you see the
following messages:
ERROR: The card type does not match the card in slot
or
ERROR: This module cannot be configured for this chassis
You can configure features or interfaces (Ethernet, Fibre Channel) on
the modules before the modules are inserted in the switch chassis. You can also
use this command to manage the configuration of these features or interfaces
when the module is offline due to a failure or scheduled downtime. These
configurations are applied when the module comes online.
When you preprovision a module by specifying the type of module,
platform manager will allow only modules of matching type to come online. If
you configure the interfaces for the module without specifying the module type,
the configuration is applied when the module comes online, regardless of the
module type.
You can preprovision modules and interfaces in a switch profile. The
modules and interfaces are preprovisioned when you apply (commit) the switch
profile. Once the module is inserted and interfaces are created, the
preprovisioning module passes on the configuration to the respective
applications before the interfaces come up.
Mutual exclusion is a mechanism where configuration outside the
switch profile is not allowed in the switch profile and vice-versa. This
requirement is to ensure that configuration in the switch profile is exactly
the same on both switches. Preprovisioned configuration is the same as a
configuration when the module is online, so mutual exclusion checks would
continue to apply normally.
When you downgrade from Cisco NX-OS release 5.0(2)N1(1), which
supports preprovisioning, to an earlier release of Cisco NX-OS that does not
support module preprovisioning, you will be prompted to remove preprovisioning
configuration that you configured on the switch.
Examples
This example shows how to preprovision a module in slot 2 of the
chassis:
switch(config)# slot 2
switch(config-slot)# provision model N5K-M1404
switch(config-slot)#
This example shows how to configure a switch profile to enable a
chassis slot for preprovisioning of a module:
switch# config sync
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config-sync)# switch-profile sp
Switch-Profile started, Profile ID is 1
switch(config-sync-sp)# slot 2
switch(config-sync-sp-slot)# provision model N5K-M1600
switch(config-sync-sp-slot)#
This example shows how to remove a preprovisioned module from a
chassis slot:
switch(config)# slot 2
switch(config-slot)# no provision model N5K-M1404
switch(config-slot)#
This example shows how to remove all preprovisioned modules or line
cards from a chassis slot:
switch(config)# slot 2
switch(config-slot)# no provision model
switch(config-slot)#
