IOA Flow Setup Wizard

You can use the IOA Flow Setup Wizard to simplify the provisioning of flows especially when there are
many flows to provision, and when you add, remove, or replace host HBAs, tape drives or storage
controllers.
This section includes the following topics:

Using the IOA Flow Setup Wizard

To configure flows using the Flow Setup Wizard, follow these steps:
Step 1 Invoke the Flow Setup Wizard on a specific VSAN.
sjc-sw1# ioa flow-setup cluster tape_vault flowgroup repln-fg vsan 100
In the case of an IVR deployment, you can enter the following CLI command on an IVR border switch
where IOA is deployed:
sjc-sw1# ioa ivr flow-setup cluster tape_vault flowgroup repln-fg
The wizard processes the active zone set for the VSAN and creates a set of candidate flows. When you
use the ivr flow-setup command, the active IVR zone set is considered. The zone set may have local
flows as well as flows that traverse across sites. The IOA Flow Setup Wizard runs through a series of
steps as listed in this procedure to prune the list to capture only the flows that traverse across the sites
that need to be accelerated.
Classify the switches in the candidate switch list into appropriate sites.

All of the N ports of both initiators and targets that need to be accelerated must be online.
The zoning configuration must already be in place to permit the flows that need to communicate with
each other. If you are replacing a host HBA, you must update the zoning configuration to remove
the faulty HBA and to add the new HBA before you invoke the IOA Flow Setup Wizard.
