Applying moref Properties. Remote-Invocation-Error: FSM Retries Exhausted Error

Problem

When importing a configuration to a new Fabric Interconnect (6400) I got the following error:

[FSM:FAILED]: Applying moref properties(FSM:sam:dme:MorefImportRootApplyMoRefs). Remote-Invocation-Error: FSM Retries Exhausted

To find out what is pending – SSH to the FI and run the following

# scope system
# show pending-import

I wasn’t concerned with these so to clear the import up.

# delete pending-import
# commit-buffer
