To add an IVR virtual domain to a specified VSAN, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# ivr virtual-fcdomain-add
vsan-ranges 1
switch(config)# no ivr virtual-fcdomain-add
vsan-ranges 1
When you enable the IVR virtual domains, links may fail to come up due to overlapping virtual domain
identifiers. If so, temporarily withdraw the overlapping virtual domain from that VSAN.
Withdrawing an overlapping virtual domain from an IVR VSAN disrupts IVR traffic to and from that

domain.
Use the ivr withdraw domain command in EXEC mode to temporarily withdraw the overlapping virtual
domain interfaces from the affected VSAN.

Verifying the IVR Virtual Domain Configuration

View the status of the IVR virtual domain configuration using the show ivr
virtual-fcdomain-add-status command.
switch# show ivr virtual-fcdomain-add-status
IVR virtual domains are added to fcdomain list in VSANS: 1
(As well as to VSANs in interoperability mode 2 or 3)

Persistent FC IDs for IVR

As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(2), you can configure persistent FC IDs for IVR. Persistent FC
IDs across reboot improves IVR management by providing the following features:
•
•
The benefits of persistent FC IDs for IVR are as follows:

OL-6973-03, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.x
Allows you to control and assign a specific virtual domain to use for a native VSAN.
Allows you to control and assign a specific virtual FC ID to use for a device.
Host devices always see the same FC ID for targets.
Helps you plan your SAN layout better by assigning virtual domains for IVR to use.
Can make SAN monitoring and management easier. When you see the same domain or FC ID
consistently assigned, you can readily determine the native VSAN or device to which it refers.
Persistent FC IDs for IVR
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Adds the IVR virtual domains in VSAN 1.
Reverts to the factory default of not adding IVR
virtual domains and removes the currently
active virtual domains for that VSAN from the
fcdomain manger list
