Creating IVR Zones and Zonesets

To create IVR zones or zone sets, perform the following steps.

  1. From the Fabric Manager, choose Zone > IVR (Inter VSAN Routing) > Edit Full Database on Switch from the Fabric Manager Zone menu.

    The Edit VSANxxx Local Full Zones window is displayed for the VSAN you selected.

  2. Right click the Zoneset or Zone for that VSAN and selected Insert to add a Zoneset or Zone.

    If you are adding a ZoneSet, you can activate it by clicking the Activate button. This configuration is distributed to the other switches in the network fabric.

    Note When you confirm the activate operation, the current running configuration is saved to the startup configuration. This permanently saves any changes made to the running configuration (not just zoning changes).
    Note Some time zones beginning with prefix 'IVRZ' and a zoneset with name 'nozoneset' appear in logical view. The zones with prefix 'IVRZ' are IVR zones which get appended to regular active zones. The prefix 'IVRZ' is appended to active IVR zones by the system. Similarly the zoneset with name 'nozonset' is an IVR active zoneset created by system if no active zoneset is available for that vsan and if 'ivrZoneSetActivateForce' flag is enabled on switch. In 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.
    Note Do not create a zone with prefix 'IVRZ' or a zoneset with name 'nozonset'. These names are used by the system for identifying IVR zones.
