> # About DPVM Configuration

> To use the DPVM feature as designed, be sure to verify the following requirements:

> - The interface through which the dynamic device connects to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch must be configured as an F 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).

> Note The DPVM feature overrides any existing static port VSAN membership configuration. If the VSAN corresponding to the dynamic port is deleted or suspended, the port is shut down.
