NAT mode([dec]). This probably happened because NAT mode was modified without 
completely deactivating the active IVR zoneset. 

Explanation    This can happen if the Network Address Translation (NAT) mode is modified without completely deactivating the active inter-VSAN routing (IVR) zone set.

Recommended Action    Reboot the switch.

Introduced Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a).

Error Message     IVR-2-DEVICE_VSAN_REWRITE_FAILURE: Failure while programming VSAN 
rewrite entries for pWWN [chars] on incoming VSAN [dec]. Device may not be able 
to communicate with its peer devices. 

Explanation    Device failed to program the VSAN rewrite entries, probably because the hardware ran out of VSAN rewrite entries. This can happen if there are too many devices in an inter-VSAN zone or too many local VSANs in the VSAN topology.

Recommended Action    Reduce the number of domains involved in IVR by moving the members of the active IVR zone set to fewer switches. Also, reduce the number of redundant transit VSANs, if any.

Introduced Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a).

Error Message     IVR-2-DOMAIN_DISALLOWED_IN_INTEROP: Device with port WWN [chars] and 
FCID [chars] may not be able to participate in Inter-VSAN zone since domain [dec] 
is disallowed in the interop mode for VSAN [dec]. 

Explanation    VSAN interop modes place restrictions on what domain ranges are allowed. This domain is out of the range allowed for this interop mode. Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide or Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide for details on the domain range limitations.

Recommended Action    Change the domain of the switch to which this IVR zone member is connected so that it is within the allowed domain list for the interop mode. The domain identifier can be statically assigned using the fcdomain interface. You can also configure a range of domains allowed in a VSAN using the fcdomain's allowed-domains interface.

Introduced Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a).

Error Message     IVR-2-DOMAIN_UNAVAILABLE: Device with port WWN [chars] and FCID 
[chars] may not be able to participate in Inter-VSAN zone since domain [dec] is 
already assigned in VSAN [dec].

Recommended Action    No action is required.

Introduced Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a).

Error Message     IVR-2-INTEROP_MODE_2_OR_3_BF_FAILED: [chars] VSAN [dec] Virtual 
Domain [chars]. 

Explanation    Build fabric failed in VSAN [dec]. The build fabric was initiated to remove an unused virtual domain from the fcdomain list in that VSAN. The virtual domain still remains in the fcdomain list and hence it would not be available in that VSAN for assignment.

Recommended Action    Perform a manual build fabric using fcdomain's interface if you would like to remove the unused virtual domain(s) from the fcdomain list.

Introduced Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.3(4a).

Error Message     IVR-2-INTEROP_MODE_2_OR_3_RDI_FAILED: VSAN [dec], requested domain 
[chars], received domain [chars] sWWN [chars]. Return Code [chars]. 

Explanation    Request domain identifier (RDI) failed to allocate virtual domain in the VSAN. Received another domain instead, as shown in the error message. IVR-members connected to a third-party switch may not participate in IVR communications. It is likely that the domain requested in the IVR RDI command is already in use.

Recommended Action    Reassign the domains so that the domain requested by RDI does not overlap any existing domain in that VSAN.

Introduced Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.3(4a).

Error Message    IVR-2-IVR_ASSERTION_FAILED: Unexpected assertion failure in File

Error Message    IVR-2-PERSISTENT_VIRTUAL_FCID_UNAVAILABLE: to vsan [dec] because the 
configured persistent virtual domain/fcid could not be assigned. 

Explanation    This can happen if the virtual domain/FC ID configured by the user is already in use (either by IVR or a switch) or not allowed because of the interop mode or allowed domain list configured.

Recommended Action    Verify that the configured virtual domain/FC ID is allowed and available for use.

Introduced Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(2).

Error Message    IVR-2-VIRTUAL_DOMAIN_CONFLICT: In VSAN [dec] virtual domain [dec] from 
native VSAN [dec] conflicts with native VSAN [dec] for the same virtual domain. 

Explanation    The currently advertised virtual domain in the VSAN shown in the error message is native to different VSAN. This switch has learned of a device that is a member of the active IVR zone and has the same domain ID, but belongs to a different native VSAN. This device is not advertised in that VSAN until the domain conflict is resolved.

Recommended Action    No action is required.

Introduced Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a).
