This state indicates that traffic can pass through this VSAN. This state cannot be configured. Creating VSANs Statically You cannot configure any application-specific parameters for a VSAN before creating the VSAN. To create VSANs, perform this task: Step 1 Step 2 Command switch# configuration terminal switch(config)# vsan database switch(config-vsan-db)# Step 3 switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id name name updated vsan 2 switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id suspend switch(config-vsan-db)# no vsan vsan-id suspend switch(config-vsan-db)# end switch# Purpose Enters configuration mode. Configures the database for a VSAN. Application specific VSAN parameters cannot be configured from this prompt. Creates a VSAN with the specified ID if that VSAN does not exist already. Updates the VSAN with the assigned name. Suspends the selected VSAN. Negates the suspend command issued in the previous step. Returns you to EXEC mode. 37-6 Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch CLI Software Configuration Guide OL-16597-01
