Tip If you enable persistence, be sure to enable it at both ends of the SAN port channel.

Converting to Manually Configured Channel Groups

You can convert autocreated channel group to a user-configured channel group using the
san-port-channel channel-group-number persistent EXEC command. If the SAN port channel does not
exist, this command is not executed.
Verifying SAN Port Channel Configuration
You can view specific information about existing SAN port channels at any time from EXEC mode. The
following show commands provide further details on existing SAN port channels.
The show san-port-channel summary command displays a summary of SAN port channels within the
switch. A one-line summary of each SAN port channel provides the administrative state, the operational
state, the number of attached and active interfaces (up), and the first operational port (FOP), which is the
primary operational interface selected in the SAN port channel to carry control-plane traffic (no
load-balancing). The FOP is the first port that comes up in a SAN port channel and can change if the
port goes down. The FOP is also identified by an asterisk ( * ).
To display VSAN configuration information, perform one of the following tasks:
Command
switch# show san-port-channel summary |
database | consistency [ details ] |
usage | compatibility-parameters
switch# show san-port-channel database
interface san-port-channel
channel-number
switch# show interface fc slot/port
The following example shows how to display a summary of SAN port channel information:
switch# show san-port-channel summary
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following example shows how to display SAN port channel consistency:
switch# show san-port-channel consistency
Database is consistent
The following example shows how to display details of the used and unused port channel numbers:
switch# show san-port-channel usage
Totally 3 port-channel numbers used
