Cisco MDS 9000 Series Configuration Guide

At this stage, the currently logged in devices (and their current VSAN assignment) populate the active DPVM database.
However the entries are not yet permanent in the active DPVM database.
The output of the show dpvm ports and the show flogi database commands displays two other devices that have logged
in (referred to as switch9 and switch3 in this sample configuration).
Step 4 Access switch9 and issue the following commands:
Example:
switch9# show dpvm database active
pwwn 21:00:00:e0:8b:0e:87:8a vsan 1(*)
pwwn 21:01:00:e0:8b:2e:74:8a vsan 1(*)
[Total 2 entries]
* is auto-learnt entry
switch9# show dpvm status
DB is activated successfully, auto-learn is on
Step 5 Access switch3 and issue the following commands:
Example:
switch3# show dpvm database active
pwwn 21:00:00:e0:8b:0e:76:8a vsan 1(*)
pwwn 21:01:00:e0:8b:2e:76:8a vsan 1(*)
[Total 2 entries]
* is auto-learnt entry
switch3# show dpvm status
DB is activated successfully, auto-learn is on
Step 6 Disable autolearning in switch1 and commit the configuration changes.
Example:
switch1# config
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch1(config)# no dpvm auto-learn
switch1(config)# dpvm commit
switch1(config)# end
switch1# show dpvm status
DB is activated successfully, auto-learn is off
switch1# show dpvm database active
pwwn 21:00:00:e0:8b:0e:74:8a vsan 4
pwwn 21:01:00:e0:8b:2e:87:8a vsan 5
pwwn 21:00:00:e0:8b:0e:87:8a vsan 1
pwwn 21:01:00:e0:8b:2e:74:8a vsan 1
pwwn 21:00:00:e0:8b:0e:76:8a vsan 1
pwwn 21:01:00:e0:8b:2e:76:8a vsan 1
[Total 6 entries]
* is auto-learnt entry
switch1# show dpvm status
DB is activated successfully, auto-learn is off
At this stage, the autolearned entries are made permanent in the active DPVM database.
Step 7 Access switch9 and issue the following commands:
