Recovering an IVR Full Topology

You can recover a topology by copying the active zone database or the full zone database.
To recover a zone database, perform these steps.
From the Fabric Manager, choose Zone > IVR (Inter VSAN Routing) > Recover FullTopology. You

see the Recover Full Topology dialog box.
Click the Copy Full radio button.
Step 2
Choose the source VSAN from which to copy the information from the drop-down list.
Step 3
Choose the source switch and the destination VSAN from those drop-down lists.
Step 4
Choose the destination switch from the drop-down list.

IVR Interoperability

When using the IVR feature, all border switches in a given fabric must be Cisco MDS switches.
However, other switches in the fabric may be non-MDS switches. For example, end devices that are
members of the active IVZS may be connected to non-MDS switches. Non-MDS switches may also be
present in the transit VSAN(s) or in the edge (VSANs) if the interop-mode 1 option is enabled.

IVR Using LUN Zoning or Read-Only Zoning

LUN-zoning and read-only zoning can be used between members of active IVR zones. To configure this
service, you need to create and activate LUN-zones and/or read-only zones between the desired IVZ
members in all relevant edge VSANs using the zoning interface.
The LUN zoning and read-only zoning features cannot be configured in a IVZS setup.

Creating IVZs and IVZSs

As part of the IVR configuration, you need to configure one or more IVZs to enable cross-VSAN
communication. To achieve this result, you must specify each IVZ as a set of (pWWN, VSAN) entries.
Like zones, several IVZs can be configured to belong to an IVRS. You can define several IVZSs and
activate only one of the defined IVZSs.
The same IVZS must be activated on all the IVR-enabled switches.
