Change Zone Mode on Vsan to Enhanced

[King Haku]

Hi All,

I have 2 MDS 9706 devices at DC and DR. There are 2 vsan on each director MDS.

I want to change zone mode on VSAN to Enhaced mode. ( I want to use DCNM)

I will use cli: Switch(config)# zone mode enhanced vsan <vsan number>

If I do so on both VSAN, will it affect the system that is running?
Has the zoning configuration been changed?

Hi,

Moving from Basic zoning to enhanced zoning is non-disruptive. I would advise you to do this for single VSAN at a time. As soon as you convert basic zoning to enhanced zoning, you will acquire CFS lock for zoning.

Zoning configuration doesn't change (except basic to enhanced mode). 

Regards.
