Creates a new Admin Domain with optionally specified device or switch
members. A newly created Admin Domain is in an activated state. It initially
contains no zone database. The newly created Admin Domain remains in the
transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save. AD0 always
exists. Use ad --add to add explicit members to AD0.
Deactivates an Admin Domain. This operation fails if an effective zone
configuration exists under the Admin Domain. This operation is not allowed
on AD0. ad --deactivate does not disable any ports. Existing logins to a
deactivated Admin Domain are not terminated; however, subsequent CLI
execution is disallowed. A message is displayed to indicate that the current
Admin Domain is not active. The command prompts for confirmation. The
deactivate operation remains in the transaction buffer until you issue ad
--apply or ad --save.
Deletes an Admin Domain. This command succeeds regardless of whether
the Admin Domain is in a deactivated or an activated state. AD0 always
exists; using this operation on AD0 does not delete AD0, it only removes all
explicit members from AD0. The AD0 zone database does not need to be
empty for the delete operation to succeed. Not all existing user sessions to a
deleted Admin Domain are terminated; however, subsequent CLI execution is
disallowed. A message displays indicating that the current Admin Domain is
not active. The command prompts for confirmation before executing the
delete action. The delete operation remains in the transaction buffer until you
issue ad --apply or ad --save.
This command performs the following tasks:
1. Create a new shell.
2. Executes ad --select to the specified Admin Domain.
3. Executes the specified commands.
4. Exits the shell.
Removes one or more members from an Admin Domain. Removing the last
member from an Admin Domain deletes the Admin Domain. The remove
operation remains in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad
--save.
Renames the specified Admin Domain. If a reserved name is used for
new_ad_id (AD number format), the operation fails if the reserved name does
not correspond to the ad_id AD number. The rename operation remains in
the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.
Saves the outstanding Admin Domain transaction to the defined
configuration on all switches in the fabric. The saved Admin Domain definition
is enforced only when ad --apply is issued. Attempts to modify and save an
Admin Domain that is currently enforced will fail. The command prompts for
confirmation.
