Creating VSANs

To create and configure VSANs using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Create VSAN icon .
  2. Note     As of Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.1(2) and later, if you check the Static Domain IDs check box, Fabric Manager creates the VSAN in suspended mode and then automatically activates the VSAN.

  3. Check the switches that you want in this VSAN.
  4. Fill in the VSAN Name and VSAN ID fields.
  5. Set the LoadBalancing value and the InterOperValue.
  6. Set the Admin State to active or suspended.
  7. Check the Static Domain Ids check box to assign an unused static domain ID to the VSAN.
  8. Optionally, select the FICON and Enable Fabric Binding for Selected Switches options if you want these features enabled.
  9. Complete the fields in this dialog box and click Create to add the VSAN or click Close.
