To recover a zone topology, follow these steps.
Step 1 From Fabric Manager, choose Zone > IVR > Copy Full Topology. You see the Copy Full Topology
dialog box.

Adding Members to IVR Zones
You can add members to existing IVR zones using the Edit Local Full Zone Database dialog box.
LUN-zoning can optionally be used between members of active IVR zones.
To add members to an existing IVR zone and optionally configure LUN zoning using Fabric Manager,
follow these steps:
Step 1 Click Zone > IVR > Edit Local Full Zone Database . You see the Edit Local Full Zone Database dialog
box.
Step 2 Expand the Zones folder and choose the zone you want to add a member to.
Step 3 Click the Insert icon to add a new member in this zone. You see the zone membership dialog box.
Step 4 Set the WWN for the end device you want to add as a member of this IVR zone.
Step 5 Set the Port VSAN Id and Fabric ID for this end device.
Step 6 Optionally, check the LUNs check box and set the LUNs you want this IVR zone to access on this end
device.
Step 7 Click Add to add the member to the IVR zone with the optional LUN zoning attribute or click Close to
discard all changes.
IVR Interoperability
When using the IVR feature, all border switches in a given fabric must be Cisco MDS switches.
However, other switches in the fabric may be non-MDS switches. For example, end devices that are
members of the active IVR zone set may be connected to non-MDS switches. Non-MDS switches may
also be present in the transit VSAN(s) or in the edge (VSANs) if one of the interop modes is enabled.
