IVR Zones and IVR Zone Sets
As part of the IVR configuration, you need to configure one or more IVR zone to enable cross-VSAN
communication. To achieve this result, you must specify each IVR zone as a set of (pWWN, VSAN)
entries. Like zones, several IVR zone sets can be configured to belong to an IVR zone. You can define
several IVR zone sets and activate only one of the defined IVR zone sets.
Note The same IVR zone set must be activated on all of the IVR-enabled switches.
Prior to Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.0(3) you can only configure a total of 10,000 zone members on all
Caution
switches in a network. As of Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.0(3) you can only configure a total of 20,000 zone
members on all switches in a network. A zone member is counted twice if it exists in two zones. See the
"Database Merge Guidelines" section on page
