Creating VSANs

VSANs help you create multiple logical SANs over a common physical infrastructure. Each VSAN can

contain up to 239 switches and has an independent address space that allows identical Fibre Channel IDs

(FC IDs) to be used simultaneously in different VSANs.

VSAN 1, also known as the default VSAN, is typically used for communication, management, or testing

purposes. We recommend that you do not use VSAN 1 as your production environment VSAN. There

are several features that, when configured, disrupt traffic on VSAN 1. If you use VSAN 1 as your

production environment VSAN, you risk disrupting traffic when these features are configured.

VSAN 1 is enabled by default. We recommend that you use other available VSANs as your production
