About Activating Zone Sets and Using the force Option

Once the zone sets have been created and populated, you must activate the zone set. When you activate
an IVR zone set, IVR automatically adds an IVR zone to the regular active zone set of each edge VSAN.
If a VSAN does not have an active zone set, IVR can only activate an IVR zone set using the force option,
which causes IVR to create an active zone set called "nozoneset" and adds the IVR zone to that active
zone set.
If you deactivate the regular active zone set in a VSAN, the IVR zone set is also deactivated. This occurs
Caution
because the IVR zone in the regular active zone set, and all IVR traffic to and from the switch, is stopped.
To reactivate the IVR zone set, you must reactivate the regular zone set.

Sometimes zone names beginning with prefix IVRZ and a zone set with name nozoneset appear
in a logical view. The zones with prefix IVRZ are IVR zones that get appended to regular active
zones. The prefix IVRZ is appended to active IVR zones by the system. Similarly the zone set
with name nozoneset is an IVR active zone set created by the system if no active zone set is
available for that VSAN and if the ivrZonesetActivateForce flag is enabled on the switch.
In the server.properties file, you can set the property zone.ignoreIVRZones to true or false to
either hide or view IVR zones as part of regular active zones. See the
Properties File" section on page 3-5
Do not create a zone with prefix the IVRZ or a zone set with name no zoneset. These names are
used by the system for identifying IVR zones.
