Enabling the Global Policy for Disruptive Load Balancing

<a name="wp1074395"> </a><p class="pBody">
Disruptive load balancing allows you to review the load on all the external interfaces and balance the 
load disruptively. Disruptive load balancing is done by moving the servers using heavily loaded external 
interfaces, to the external interfaces running with fewer loads.

Detailed Steps

To enable disruptive load balancing using DCNM-SAN, perform the following tasks:
