About Load Balancing
Load-balancing attributes indicate the use of the source-destination ID (src-dst-id) or the originator
exchange OX ID (src-dst-ox-id, the default) for load-balancing path selection.
Configuring Load Balancing
To configure load balancing on an existing VSAN, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configuration terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# vsan database
switch(config-vsan-db)#
Step 3
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id
Step 4
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id
loadbalancing src-dst-id
switch(config-vsan-db)# no vsan vsan-id
loadbalancing src-dst-id
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id
loadbalancing src-dst-ox-id
Step 5
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id
suspend
Step 6
switch(config-vsan-db)# no vsan vsan-id
suspend
Step 7
switch(config-vsan-db)# end
