Chapter 26 Configuring and Managing VSANs VSAN Configuration Send documentation comments to [email protected] Note Up to 256 VSANs can be configured in a switch. Of these, one is a default VSAN (VSAN 1), and another is an isolated VSAN (VSAN 4094). User-specified VSAN IDs range from 2 to 4093. Displaying Isolated VSAN Membership To display interfaces that exist in the isolated VSAN using Fabric Manager, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Expand Fabricxx and then select All VSANs in the Logical Domains pane. You see the VSAN configuration in the Information pane. Click the Isolated Interfaces tab. You see the interfaces that are in the isolated VSAN. Operational State of a VSAN A VSAN is in the operational state if the VSAN is active and at least one port is up. This state indicates that traffic can pass through this VSAN. This state cannot be configured. About Static VSAN Deletion When an active VSAN is deleted, all of its attributes are removed from the running configuration. VSAN-related information is maintained by the system software as follows: • VSAN attributes and port membership details are maintained by the VSAN manager. This feature is affected when you delete a VSAN from the configuration. When a VSAN is deleted, all the ports in that VSAN are made inactive and the ports are moved to the isolated VSAN. If the same VSAN is recreated, the ports do not automatically get assigned to that VSAN. You must explicitly reconfigure the port VSAN membership (see Figure 26-6).
