A virtual SAN or VSAN is a logical fabric, created on a physical FC SAN. A VSAN enables communication among a group of nodes such as physical servers and storage systems with a common set of requirements, regardless of their physical location in the fabric. A VSAN conceptually functions in the same way as a VLAN.
Each VSAN acts as an independent fabric and is managed independently. Each VSAN has its own fabric services such as name server and zoning, configuration, and set of FC addresses. Fabric-related configurations in one VSAN do not affect the traffic in another VSAN. The events causing traffic disruptions in one VSAN are contained within that VSAN and do not propagate to other VSANs.
