Virtual Storage Area

Networks (VSAN) See VSAN.

Virtual Application A placeholder you create for an unsupported application. For example, assume your company has created an internal application, and you want to be able to use the software to keep track of that application. You can create a virtual application for that product.

VSAN (Virtual Storage

Area Networks) Virtual Storage Area Networks (VSANs) are logical fabrics formed as subsets of physical FC (Fibre Channel) switch networks. A VSAN is defined as a set of Fx, E and TE ports-entry/exit, traditional ISL (Inter-switch Link) ports, and trunked ISL ports. TE ports are ISLs that may be shared between a named set of VSANs. All ports other than TE ports must be members of exactly one VSAN. On Cisco switches, there is a default VSAN (VSAN 1) that initially includes all ports, and an isolated VSAN (VSAN 4094) where ports end up if their owning VSAN is deleted.
