There must be at least one SDV-enabled switch that is not a Cisco MDS 9124 Switch between the server
Caution
and the device that are being virtualized. In other words, SDV does not work when initiators and primary
devices are connected to the same Cisco MDS 9124 Switch.

Discarding Changes

At any time, you can discard the uncommitted changes to the running configuration and release the fabric
lock (prior to issuing the sdv commit command). If you discard the pending changes, the configuration
remains unaffected and the lock is released.
To discard uncommitted SDV configuration changes and release the lock follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# sdv abort vsan 10

IVR and SDV cannot be used for the same device. In other words, a SDV-virtualized device cannot
be part of a IVR zone or zoneset.
Virtual device names should be unique across VSANs because they are registered with the device
alias server, which is unaware of VSANs. For example, if you have enabled SDV and have registered
a name, vt1 in both VSAN 1 and VSAN 2, then the device alias server cannot store both entries
because they have the same name.
You cannot specify the same primary device for different virtual devices.
SDV does not work with soft zoning (Soft zoning means that zoning restrictions are applied only
during interaction between the name server and the end device. If an end device somehow knows the
FC ID of a device outside its zone, it can access that device), nor does it work with the zone
default-zone permit vsan operation (which would otherwise permit or deny traffic to members in
the default zone).
If devices are not already zoned with the initiators, then you can configure SDV virtual device zones
with no negative impact. If they are already zoned, then zoning changes are required.
The real device-virtual device zone cannot coexist with the real device-real device zone. If the real
devices are not already zoned together, then you can configure the real device-virtual device zone
with no negative impact. If these devices are already zoned, then adding the real device-virtual
device zone may cause the zone activation to fail. If this occurs, then you must delete one of the
zones before activation.
For example, a user attempts to create a configuration with zone A, which consists of I, the initiator,
and T, the target (I,T), and zone B, which consists of a virtual initiator, VI, and real target, T (zone
VI, T). Such a configuration would fail. Likewise, an attempt to configure zone C, which consists
of an initiator, I, and target T, with zone D, which consists of an initiator, I, and virtual target, VT
(zone I, VT), would also fail.
