How to remove interface from vsan database Nexus 5548

Whilst setting up a couple Nexus 5548’s I came upon an issue where I had to remove an interface from the vsan database.

vsan database
vsan 1000 interface vfc1
vsan 1000 interface vfc2
vsan 1000 interface vfc3
vsan 1000 interface vfc4
vsan 1000 interface fc1/28
vsan 1000 interface fc1/29

Having never done this before I assumed the command would be no vsan 1000 interface fc1/29

The command is actually vsan 1 interface fc1/29

Effectivley putting the interface back into the default vsan

conf t
vsan database
vsan 1 interface fc1/29 (this removes interface fc1/29 from vsan 1000)

This can be verified with the command sh vsan membership

NXS5548-SW1# sh vsan membership
vsan 1 interfaces:
fc1/25            fc1/26            fc1/27            fc1/28
fc1/29

vsan 1000 interfaces:
fc1/30            fc1/31            fc1/32            vfc5
vfc6              vfc7              vfc8
