Inter VSAN Routing- IVR
Dear Team,
I am going to configure the IVR. My Environment is mentioned below. So please let me know how to create the IVR between primary and DR site by using below inputs.
Production Site Fabric 1
- MDS 9710 and MDS 9222i ( FC ISL is created between two switch)
- Only two VSAN is created per switch VSAN 100 and VSAN 102
- VSAN 100 is used for production zoneset
- VSAN 102 is used for FCIP interface
- FCIP communication is working fine between two sites
Production Site Fabric 2
- MDS 9710 and MDS 9222i ( FC ISL is created between two switch)
- Only two VSAN is created per switch VSAN 200 and 202
- VSN 200 is used for production zoneset
- VSAN 202 is used for FCIP interface
- FCIP communication is working fine between two sites
DR site Fabric 1
- MDS 9710 and MDS 9222i ( FC ISL is created between two switch)
- Only two VSAN is created per switch VSAN 101 and VSAN 102
- VSAN 101 is used for production zoneset
- VSAN 102 is used for FCIP interface
- FCIP communication is working fine between two sites
DR Site FABRIC 2
- MDS 9710 and MDS 9222i ( FC ISL is created between two switch)
- Only two VSAN is created per switch VSAN 100 and VSAN 102
- VSAN 201 is used for production zoneset
- VSAN 202 is used for FCIP interface
- FCIP communication is working fine between two sites
All servers and hosts are connected to MDS 9710 series switch in both sites. MDS 9222i switch is used to create only for FCIP and IVR. So please let me know where i have to enable the IVR and what will be the IVR VSAN topology.
I wanted to configure IVR without NAT and IVR without auto config.
Do i need to enable the IVR feature in MDS9710 and MDS 9222i ? OR only i need to enable the IVR feature in MDS 9222i ?
Do i need to add all four switches from all FABRIC-1 to single IVR topology database. ?? OR only i need to add the MDS 9222i Switch WWN to IVR topology database ???

you do not need to enable IVR on 9710
you do not need to add 9710 to ivr topology
when you use DCNM to create IVR zones, they will be created on 9222i

that should have worked.
When you use DCNM you don't specify what switch you are creating IVR zones on. If you are using cli you have to login to 9222i.

Can you please check the FCIP replication is working fine or not by using the below results.

as i told you previously i don't have experience with FCIP, sorry.

Do you have any about how to increase or calculate replication performance through SAN switch ???

Rashid...I have a exactly similar setup that needs to be configured between a couple of MDS 9710 and MDS 9222i on the PRD and DR site through a FCIP link and IVR implementation. Would you be able to send me the commands that you used to configure this ?

I know I'm late to this thread, but if I understand correctly your goal is to replicate between from PROD storage to DR storage across FCIP on parallel fabrics. is this SRDF? if yes, then I'm doing exactly the same thing without IVR and without merging the prod fabrics on both ends.

assuming you are not using IP adapters for SRDF, your RA adapters need to be able to communicate and in pure "FC" way to do that would be to either merge fabrics or setup IVR and transit VSAN.

Do you use a dedicated fabric for the SRDF replication? If not, I'm very confused at how you are getting FC in one fabric to FC in another fabric without some kind of IVR or FC Routing (depending on Cisco or Brocade SAN hardware).

Storage frames only have FA and RA adapters
parallel cisco hardware deploy in both prod (faba/fabb) & dr(faba/fabb). 4 switches with FCIP
prod & dr FA's in vsans 11(a) & 21(b)
prod & dr RA's in vsans 31(a) & 41(b)
prod & dr fcip1(a) in vsan 31
prod & dr fcip2(b) in vsan 41
fcip defs are non-trunking
prod vsan 31 sees dr vsan 31
prod vsan 41 sees dr vsan 41
prod vsan 11 does not see dr vsan 11
prod vsan 21 does not see dr vsan 21

OK, must be a Cisco thing. It sounds to me like VSAN 31 & 41 are fabrics that span sites while VSAN 11 & 12 exist as seperate fabrics at eash site.

right, so you merged VSAN 31 and VSAN 4. Probably ok if the only ports that reside in those VSANs are your RDF ports. You wouldn't want to do that if for example you needed to use Open Replicator and had to connect to another array over the wire. Open Replicator has to use the same FAs for replication that are used for host presentation ...last thing you would want to do is to merge your VSAN that is used for host connectivity over the WAN link and have that link go up and down ..causing potential issues in both locations.
