Configuring N Port Virtualization

	Command	Purpose
Step 10
	switch(config)# vsan database	Configures the port VSANs for the F ports on
	switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 12 interface fc	the NPV device.
	1/1 - 6
	switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 13 interface fc
	1/1 - 6
Step 11
	switch(config-npv)# no npv enable	Terminates session and disables NPV mode,
	switch(config)#	which results in a reload of the NPV device.

Configuring NPV Traffic Management

The NPV traffic management feature is enabled after configuring NPV. Configuring NPV traffic management involves configuring a list of external interfaces to the servers, and enabling or disabling disruptive load balancing.

This section includes the following topics:

•Configuring List of External Interfaces per Server Interface, page 7-12

•Enabling the Global Policy for Disruptive Load Balancing, page 7-13

Configuring List of External Interfaces per Server Interface

A list of external interfaces are linked to the server interfaces when the server interface is down, or if the specified external interface list includes the external interface already in use.

Detailed Steps

To configure the list of external interfaces per server interface, perform the following tasks:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	switch# config t	Enters configuration mode on the NPV.
	switch(config)#
Step 2
	switch(config)# npv traffic-map	Allows you to configure a list of external FC
	server-interface svr-if-range	interfaces per server interface by specifying the
	external-interface fc ext-fc-if-range	external interfaces in the svr-if-range.The
	switch (config)#
		server to be linked is specified in the
		ext-fc-if-range.
	switch(config)# npv traffic-map	Allows you to configure a list of external
	server-interface svr-if-range	PortChannel1 interfaces per server interface by
	external-interface port-channel	specifying the external interfaces in the
	ext-pc-if-range
		svr-if-range.The server to be linked is specified
	switch (config)#
		in the ext-pc-if-range.
	switch(config)# no npv traffic-map	Disables the NPV traffic management feature on
	server-interface svr-if-range	the NPV.
	external-interface ext-if-range
	switch (config)#

1. While mapping non-PortChannel interfaces and PortChannel interfaces to the server interfaces, include them separately in two steps.
