corresponding to the dynamic port is deleted or suspended, the port is shut down.
Note If you copy the DPVM database and fabric distribution is enabled, you must commit the changes.
To begin configuring DPVM, you must explicitly enable DPVM on the required switches in the fabric.
By default, this feature is disabled in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family.

The interface through which the dynamic device connects to the Cisco MDS switch must be
configured as an F port. FL ports do not support DPVM and no entries will be learned through an
FL port.
The static port VSAN of the F port should be valid (not isolated, not suspended, and in existence).
The dynamic VSAN configured for the device in the DPVM database should be valid (not isolated,
not suspended, and in existence).
