Migrating from IVR Auto Topology Mode to Manual Mode

If you want to migrate the active IVR VSAN topology database from automatic mode to user-configured
mode, first copy the active IVR VSAN topology database to the user-configured IVR VSAN topology
database before switching modes.
To migrate from automatic mode to manual mode using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Expand All VSANs and then select IVR in the Logical Domains pane.
Step 1
You see the IVR configuration in the Information pane.

About IVR Virtual Domains

In a remote VSAN, the IVR application does not automatically add the virtual domain to the assigned
domains list. Some switches (for example, the Cisco SN5428) do not query the remote name server until
the remote domain appears in the assigned domains list in the fabric. In such cases, add the IVR virtual
domains in a specific VSAN(s) to the assigned domains list in that VSAN. When adding IVR domains,
all IVR virtual domains that are currently present in the fabric (and any virtual domain that is created in
the future) will appear in the assigned domain list for that VSAN.
Be sure to add IVR virtual domains if Cisco SN5428 or MDS 9020 switches exist in the VSAN.
Tip
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.
