> # About Static VSAN Deletion

> When an active VSAN is deleted, all of its attributes are removed from the running configuration. VSAN-related information is maintained by the system software as follows:

> - VSAN attributes and port membership details are maintained by the VSAN manager. This feature is affected when you delete a VSAN from the configuration. When a VSAN is deleted, all the ports in that VSAN are made inactive and the ports are moved to the isolated VSAN. If the same VSAN is recreated, the ports do not automatically get assigned to that VSAN. You must explicitly reconfigure the port VSAN membership.
> - VSAN-based runtime (name server), zoning, and configuration (static routes) information is removed when the VSAN is deleted.
> - Configured VSAN interface information is removed when the VSAN is deleted.

> Note The allowed VSAN list is not affected when a VSAN is deleted (refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide).

> Any commands for a nonconfigured VSAN are rejected. For example, if VSAN 10 is not configured in the system, then a command request to move a port to VSAN 10 is rejected.
