About Load Balancing
Load-balancing attributes indicate the use of the source-destination ID (src-dst-id) or the originator

switch(config-vsan-db)#
Places you in VSAN configuration mode.
Step 4
switch(config-vsan-db)# no vsan 5
switch(config-vsan-db)#
Deletes VSAN 5 from the database and switch.
Step 5

switch(config-vsan-db)# no vsan vsan-id
loadbalancing src-dst-id
Negates the command entered in the previous step
and reverts to the default values of the
load-balancing parameters.
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id
loadbalancing src-dst-ox-id
Changes the path selection setting to use the source
ID, the destination ID, and the OX ID (default).
Step 5
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id
suspend
Suspends the selected VSAN.
Step 6
