Modifying IVR

Activating an IVR Topology

After creating the IVR topology, you must activate it.
To activate the IVR topology from Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select All VSANs > IVR from the Logical Domains pane. You see the IVR configuration in the
Information pane.
Step 2 Select the Action tab to display the existing IVR topology.
Step 3 Select the Activate Local check box.
Step 4 Select the Apply Changes button from the Information pane to activate the IVR topology, or select the
Undo Changes button to cancel any changes you made.
Caution Active IVR topologies cannot be deactivated.

Clearing the IVR Topology

You can only clear manually created IVR VSAN topology entries from the config database.
To clear the IVR topology from Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select All VSANs > IVR from the Logical Domains pane. You see the IVR configuration in the
Information pane.
Step 2 Select the Control tab if it is not already displayed.
Step 3 Highlight the rows you want to delete from the IVR topology.
Step 4 Select the Delete Row button from the Information pane to delete these rows from the IVR topology .
Step 5 Select the Apply Changes button from the Information pane to delete the IVR topology, or select the
Undo Changes button to cancel any changes you made.

Adding 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 the following conditions apply:
—When an IVR zone set is not active.
—If Cisco SN5428 or Qlogic SANBox switches exist in the VSAN.
