Purpose
Command or Action
Configures the database for a VSAN.
Application specific VSAN parameters
cannot be configured from this prompt.
vsan database
Example:
switch(config)# vsan database
Step 2
Creates a VSAN with the specified ID if that
VSAN does not exist already.
vsan vsan-id
Example:
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 360
Step 3
Updates the VSAN with the assigned name.
vsan vsan-id name name
Example:
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 360 name
test
Step 4
Suspends the selected VSAN.
vsan vsan-id suspend
Example:
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 470 suspend
Step 5
Negates the
suspend
command issued in the
previous step.
switch(config-vsan-db)#
no vsan vsan-id
suspend
Example:
switch(config-vsan-db)# no vsan 470
suspend
Step 6
Returns you to EXEC mode.
switch(config-vsan-db)#
end
Example:
switch(config-vsan-db)# end
Step 7
Port VSAN Membership
Port VSAN membership on the switch is assigned on a port-by-port basis. By default each port belongs to
the default VSAN. You can assign VSAN membership to ports using one of two methods:
•
Statically
—
Assigning VSANs to ports.
•
Dynamically
—
Assigning VSANs based on the device WWN. This method is referred to as dynamic
port VSAN membership (DPVM).Cisco Nexus devices do not support DPVM.
VSAN trunking ports have an associated list of VSANs that are part of an allowed list.
