Displaying Isolated VSAN Membership
The
show vsan 4094 membership
command displays all ports associated with 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.
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 the figure below).

•
VSAN-based runtime (name server), zoning, and configuration (static routes) information is removed
when the VSAN is deleted.
•
Configured VSAN interface information is removed when the VSAN is deleted.
The allowed VSAN list is not affected when a VSAN is deleted.
Note
Any commands for a nonconfigured VSAN are rejected. For example, if VSAN 10 is not configured in the
system, a command request to move a port to VSAN 10 is rejected.
