Configuring a VMID

• The VMID feature is not supported in any VSAN which has interoperability enabled. For more information
Configuring a VMID

Enabling a VMID

To enable a VMID, perform these steps:

switch# configure terminal
Step 2 Disable a VMID:
switch(config)# no feature vmis

Configuring a VMID Range

The VMID range is used to limit the Local VE IDs an HBA driver will use. By restricting the Local VE ID
range to use a subset of bits in the CS_CTL field it can be partitioned and shared with future Fibre Channel
features.
To configure a VMID range, perform these steps:
Step 1
Enter global configuration mode:
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
