IVR and Multiple Transit VSANs

[dynamoxxx]

has anyone configured multiple transit VSANs to segregate traffic over specific links, for example this is what i am trying to do.

since there is only one IVR topology i will need to add all 3 switches to the topology. How would i add multiple transit VSANs?  Something like this:

autonomous-fabric-id 1 switch-wwn 20:00:00:0d:ec:f0:16:00 vsan-ranges 20,40,200,300 <<- 9513 North

autonomous-fabric-id 1 switch-wwn 20:00:00:0d:ec:f0:17:00 vsan-ranges 120,200  <<- 9509 South

autonomous-fabric-id 1 switch-wwn 20:00:00:0d:ec:f0:18:00 vsan-ranges 140,300  <<- 9513 South

Thank you

Yes, you can add multiple transit vsans (ex: 210 and 310) but you must configure Service Group to separate traffic to use designated transit vsans, otherwise, IVR will always use the first transit vsan (200 and 300)

Vu,

do i have to use service groups ? For example if i have a host in VSAN40 that needs to talk to array in VSAN140, there is only one way to get there, and that is using transit VSAN 300 ?

Thank  you

talked to Cisco MDS SME, he said no service groups are necessary. As long as i have my topology configured correctly it will know how to get from VSAN40 to VSAN140 using transit VSAN300 (for example)
