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.
Tip Be sure to add IVR virtual domains if Cisco SN5428 or MDS 9020 switches exist in the VSAN.
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.
Note Withdrawing an overlapping virtual domain from an IVR VSAN disrupts IVR traffic to and from that
domain.
Tip Only add IVR domains in the edge VSANs and not in transit VSANs.
Configuring IVR Virtual Domains
To add IVR virtual domains using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand All VSANs and then select IVR in the Logical Domains pane.
You see the IVR configuration in the Information pane.
Figure 29-11 Domains Tab
Step 2
Click the Domains tab to display the existing IVR topology.
Step 3 Click the Create Row icon to create rows in the IVR topology (see Figure 29-11).
Step 4 Enter the Current Fabric, Current VSAN, Native Fabric, Native VSAN and Domain ID in the dialog box.
These are the VSANs that will add the IVR virtual domains to the assigned domains list.
Step 5 Click Create to create this new row.
