SAN management with Admin Domains

This section is for users and administrators and describes how you use Admin Domains. If you are a
physical fabric administrator and you want to create, modify, or otherwise manage Admin Domains, see
"Admin Domain management for physical fabric
The Admin Domain looks like a virtual switch or fabric to a user. However, based on the user role and type
(User_ID), users are presented with only their relevant AD-based views (see
Figure 21 on page 192). Any devices and switch ports that are not defined as part of the Admin Domain
are not shown and are not available to that AD user.
Each Admin Domain can also have its own zone configurations (defined and effective) with zones and
aliases under them.

CLI commands in an AD context

The CLI command input arguments are validated against the AD member list; they do not work with input
arguments that specify resources that are not members of the current Admin Domain. All commands
present filtered output, showing only the members of the current Admin Domain.
For example, switchShow displays details for the list of AD members present in that switch. Note the
following about the switchShow output:
• Because all E_Ports and EX_Ports are shared across all Admin Domains, they are shown under all
Admin Domains.
• Other ports are displayed without any attribute details (with an explanation that they are not part of the
current Admin Domain).
A port or device appears in CLI command output or other management tool outputs if any one of the
conditions listed in
Table 52
