Sample DPVM Configuration
S e n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a c k - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m
switch1(config)# feature dpvm
switch1(config)# end
switch1# show dpvm database
switch1# show dpvm database active
switch1# show dpvm status
At this stage, the configuration does not have an active DPVM database and the auto-learn option is
disabled.
Activate a null (empty) database so it can be populated with autolearned entries.
Step 2
switch1# config
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
switch1(config)# dpvm activate
switch1(config)# dpvm commit
switch1(config)# end
switch1# show dpvm database
switch1# show dpvm database active
switch1# show dpvm status
At this stage, the database is successfully activated and the auto-learn option continues to be disabled.
Enable the auto-learn option and commit the configuration changes.
Step 3
switch1# config
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
switch1(config)# dpvm auto-learn
switch1(config)# dpvm commit
switch1(config)# end
switch1# show dpvm database active

switch195# show dpvm status
DB is activated successfully, auto-learn is on
At this stage, the currently logged in devices (and their current VSAN assignment) populate the active
DPVM database. However the entries are not yet permanent in the active DPVM database.
The output of the show dpvm ports and the show flogi database commands displays two other devices
that have logged in (referred to as switch9 and switch3 in this sample configuration).
Access switch9 and issue the following commands.
