About VSAN Creation

A VSAN is in the operational state if the VSAN is active and at least one port is up. This state indicates
that traffic can pass through this VSAN. This state cannot be configured.

Creating VSANs Statically

You cannot configure any application-specific parameters for a VSAN before creating the VSAN.
To create VSANs, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# vsan database
switch(config-vsan-db)#
Step 3
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 2
