I recently went through a VSAN consolidation where i took 2 VSANs and combined them into a new VSAN. The problem i have run into is that even after making sure that the domain id's of the source and destination VSANs were the same, the fcid's of the...
I have a situation where we took 2datacenters and collapsed them into 1. Each datacenter had it's on set of 2 switches, for dual paths,and storage. Each also had different VSANs for host to storage connectivity. Now that they are in the same datace...
I have a 9513 and a 9509 ISL'd in a single fabric. The Eports are in VSAN 2, and all the zones are in VSAN 1. ( I know this is not best practice, and is going to be fixed) Anyway, after making the 9513 the principle switch, and shutting down all bla...
Thanks for the feedback everyone, but this done now, and i'm happy to say it went pretty smoothly. What i didn't know then was that fabric manager gives you the ability to prepopulate the vsan fcid database tabels with the fcids that you want. But y...
So the "zone set" portion of the output are the actual commands to create a zone? that's what it looks like. If that's the case, then it looks like you are right and that would make things a lot easier.. thank you!
Will Fabric Manager allow you to copy one zoneset into another zoneset? Effectively "merging" them? I knew you could copy a zoneset from one VSAN into another, but didn't think it would allow you "merge" them. I'll have to give it a shot in the lab...
I got it fixed.. IT ended up that Fabric Manager was just being stupid. When i was removing the switch from the ISL partnership, fabrci manager was still seeing both sets of zone sets and interpreting that as a "segmented VSAN". All i had to do wa...
Yes.. when i deleted the ISL trunk and shut the ports between the switches.. this is the message that shows up:2010 Jun 23 05:54:39 NPN-SAN-SW02 %PORT-5-IF_TRUNK_DOWN: %$VSAN 1%$ Interface fc1/1, vsan 1 is down (Gracefully shutdown)it is shutting do...
