Assigning A User To An Admin Domain - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

If you specify AD name = "AD15" and the lowest available AD number is 6, then AD name is "AD15"
and AD number is 15. Because the specified name is in the format "ADn", the AD number is assigned
to be n and not the lowest available AD number.
The Admin Domain name cannot exceed 63 characters and can contain alphabetic and numeric
characters. The only special character allowed is an underscore ( _ ).
When you create an Admin Domain, you must specify at least one member (switch, switch port, or device).
You cannot create an empty Admin Domain. For more information about these member types, see

The following example creates Admin Domain AD1, consisting of two switches, which are designated
by Domain ID and switch WWN.
sw5:AD255:admin> ad --create AD1 -s "97; 10:00:00:60:69:80:59:13"
The following example creates Admin Domain "blue_ad," consisting of two switch ports (designated by
domain,port), one device (designated by device WWN), and two switches (designated by Domain ID
and switch WWN).
sw5:AD255:admin> ad --create blue_ad –d "100,5; 1,3; 21:00:00:e0:8b:05:4d:05; –s
"97; 10:00:00:60:69:80:59:13"

Assigning a user to an Admin Domain

After you create an Admin Domain, you can specify one or more user accounts as the valid accounts who
can use that Admin Domain. You create these user accounts using the userConfig command. User
accounts have the following characteristics with regard to Admin Domains:
• A user account can only have a single role.
You can choose roles from one of the seven types of roles, either the existing user and administrator role
or one of the other RBAC roles.
• You can configure a user account to have access to the physical fabric through AD255 and to a list of
Admin Domains (AD0–AD254).
• You can configure a user account to have access to only a subset of your own Admin Domain list. Only
a physical fabric administrator can create another physical fabric administrator user account.
• Users capable of using multiple Admin Domains, can designate one of these Admin Domains as the
home Admin Domain, which is the default Admin Domain context after login.
• If you do not specify one, the home Admin Domain is the lowest valid Admin Domain in the
numerically-sorted AD list.
• Users can log in to their Admin Domains and create their own Admin Domain-specific zones and zone
configurations.
