We found the solution for this in the IVR documentation - the virtual domain IDs are *not* persistent across reloads, so you are at risk of FCIDs changing when using IVR NAT. However, there is a facility to create static pwwn to FCID mappings to sol...
So is it true that there is no advantage to choosing to use fcaliases if device aliases are available (presumably restricted by SAN-0S version, Dev aliases being introduced later..?)? And fcaliases are only there for backward compatibility now? All...
Regarding single points of failure in the single fabric topology - if you are using IVR, you have *one* IVR zoneset per fabric. Even if you have multiple service groups, I believe it is still one zoneset (can someone confirm that?) If you get a pro...
