I am new at this storage networking thing. Could someone please explain to me what this error message meens? The error is "switchname:ivr:inter-VSAN zone not found"
Sorry I should at least let you know what equipment it is comming from...Cisco MDS 9509.
This is happening when we are trying to create an IBR zone between 2 Cisco MDS 9509s

What output do you get when you run the following commands? For the first one you should see something below.
sh ivr session
Last Action Time Stamp : None
Last Action : Commit
Last Action Result : Success
Last Action Failure Reason : none
sh ivr pending-diff
sh ivr pending
sh ivr vsan-topology
Can you reply back or upload a screenshot.
Cheers.

When you run
sh ivr zone
or
sh ivr zoneset
You get to see all the zones already created?
Have you tried to create the new Zone in Fabric Manager and see if you get the same error? Because you might be missing an options via the CLI.
Cheers.

Yes, we can see all of the IVR zones using both of these commands. The error message we are getting is from the Fabric Manager. If we try to create the IVR zone using the command line, we get a similar error.

I was thinking it was the new Zone already existed or you were trying to add a device to a non-existing Zone.
I have IVR here and not come across this exact error before.
Hopefully somebody with a bit more IVR experience can help.
Cheers.

You might want to collect a 'show tech ivr' on both switches and open a support case with your MDS service provider. I believe there a number of reasons that this error can be posted, and one of those might be a software bug. I'm afraid there is no easy answer without more in-depth problem determination. If you are able to post the show tech ivr files here, I would be happy to have a look at them. If this is pressing, the best channel for support is opening a service request with your provider.
Thanks,
Mike
