About VSAN Creation
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.
Creating VSANs Statically
You cannot configure any application-specific parameters for a VSAN before creating the VSAN.
To create VSANs, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# configuration terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# vsan database
switch(config-vsan-db)#
Configures the database for a VSAN. Application
specific VSAN parameters cannot be configured
from this prompt.
Step 3
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id
Creates a VSAN with the specified ID if that
VSAN does not exist already.
Step 4
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id name
name
updated vsan 2
Updates the VSAN with the assigned name.
Step 5
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id
suspend
Suspends the selected VSAN.
Step 6
switch(config-vsan-db)# no vsan vsan-id
suspend
Negates the suspend command issued in the
previous step.
Step 7
switch(config-vsan-db)# end
switch#
Returns you to EXEC mode.
