About VSAN Creation
A VSAN is in the operational state if the VSAN is active and at least one port is up. This state indicates
that traffic can pass through this VSAN. This state cannot be configured.
Creating VSANs Statically
You cannot configure any application-specific parameters for a VSAN before creating the VSAN.
To create and configure VSANs using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Click the Create VSAN icon (see Figure 15-4).
Figure 15-4 Create VSAN Icon
You see the Create VSAN dialog box as shown in Figure 15-5.
