How best to validate end to end device connectivity in an Cisco MDS SAN

Hi,

I have IVR configured to allow VSAN 221 and 441 to participate in IVR. In addition we have a transit VSAN - which allows communication between the 2 VSAN as 221 and 441 do not share a border switch.

# show ivr vsan-topology active

AFID  SWITCH WWN                 Active   Cfg. VSANS
-----------------------------------------------------------
   1  xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx     yes     yes  1021
   1  yy.yy.yy.yy.yy.yy.yy.yy     yes     yes  441,1031
   1  zz.zz.zz.zz.zz.zz.zz.zz *   yes     yes  201,221,1021,1031

I have a tape device in VSAN 221, and a host in VSAN 441. There is an IVR zone created which contains the 2 devices in question - and the command:

show ivr zoneset active, displays:

zone name

    * pwwn xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:36            vsan  221 autonomous-fabric-id  1
           [tape]
    * pwwn yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:55            vsan  441 autonomous-fabric-id  1
           [host]

But the host is not picking up the device... could anyone advise how to prove connectivity between these 2 devices please?

Many thanks

Mark
