Note By default, all Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches belong to VSAN 1. We recommend you create production environment VSANs and configure the switches to use those VSANs. You cannot configure any application-specific parameters for a VSAN before creating the VSAN. Creating and Configuring VSANs. Before a Spectrum Virtualize system is upgraded to 8.3.1.1 software, any attached Cisco MDS switch must be running Cisco 8.4(1) or later firmware. Upgrading the Spectrum Virtualize system to 8.3.1.1 with a Cisco switch running earlier firmware may result in loss of access for attached hosts. 8.3.1.2 and later are not exposed to this issue.
