Verifying San Port Channel Configuration - Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring SAN Port Channels
This example shows how to configure the port channel member interfaces on the NPV switch:
switch(config)# interface fc2/1-2
switch(config-if)# shut
switch(config-if)# switchport mode NP
switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode on
switch(config-if)# channel-group 2
switch(config-if)# no shut
switch(config-if)# exit

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:
