Cisco 9504 %SYSMGR-2-CFGWRITE_ABORTED: Configuration copy aborted.


%SYSMGR-2-CFGWRITE_ABORTED: Configuration copy aborted.
%SYSMGR-3-CFGWRITE_FAILED: Configuration copy failed (error-id 0x401E0000).
%SYSMGR-2-CFGWRITE_ABORTED_CONFELEMENT_RETRIES: Copy R S failed as config-failure retries are ongoing. Type "show nxapi retries" for checking the ongoing retries.
%SYSMGR-3-CFGWRITE_SRVFAILED: Service "confelem" failed to store its configuration (error-id 0x00000079).

Ran into this issue a couple of weeks ago while working on replacing some old 7K's with the newer 9500's running NXOS 7.0.3.I7.6. We had a few hundred lines of config and decided to copy/paste, everything went fine -- or so we thought until we tried saving the config.

Issue was related to missing/incomplete config. Neither I nor my coworker noticed any error messages when pasting the config but when you try to save the config, you are greeted with the error messages. Issue was resolved by the tac engineer after he noticed that we were missing the hsrp config under the svi's (only had the command "hsrp version 2" but missing the hsrp group and the ip). It would have been nice if the error message was a little more descriptive or at least offered a hint towards the actual issue. 
"show nxapi retries" didn't return any info either.
