A customer is having problems with NPV. Which of these is the cause of the problem?
A.
One external link must be up for server interfaceto be up.
B.
Internal links are down and must be up for the server interface to be up.
C.
VSANs are misconfigured on the upstream ports.
D.

VSAN Mismatches
If there is a VSAN mismatch in VSAN for the core NPV switch ports:
1. Enter the show npv status command to check the status of the link.

switch# show npv status
npiv is enabled
External Interfaces:
====================
Interface: fc1/1, VSAN: 1, FCID: 0x110000, State: Failed(Mismatch in VSAN for this upstream port)
Number of External Interfaces: 1
2. If the state is Failed and displays the reason “Mismatch in VSAN for this upstream port” the external interface is configured to have different VSAN on both ends.
Correct the VSAN configuration. The VSAN configured on both ends of the NPV core switch link must be same.
