Hi,

I have a situation where I have to recover a switch port from a VDC to Defaut VDC. I am not sure how to unallocate a interface from a VDC to default VDC. can someone help me?

Hi Parthiban,

show vdc membership

vdc_id: 0 vdc_name: Unallocated interfaces:

vdc_id: 1 vdc_name: VDC1 interfaces:
Ethernet4/1 Ethernet4/2 Ethernet4/3
Ethernet4/4 Ethernet4/5 Ethernet4/6

now I will unallocate this E4/1 from this vdc so that it goes to default vdc.

Nexus(config-vdc)# no allocate interface ethernet 4/1 <<<< cmd

Entire port-group is not present in the command. Missing ports will be included automatically
Moving ports will cause all config associated to them in source vdc to be removed. Are you sure you want to move the ports (y/n)? [yes] yes
Nexus(config-vdc)#

Now you can see that interface will be present in default vdc.

Nexus(config-vdc)# show vdc membership

vdc_id: 0 vdc_name: Unallocated interfaces:

Ethernet4/1   >>> it is now under vdc 0

Hope this helps.

Regards

Inayath
