are treated as implicit members of AD0. Members added to AD0 through --add are called explicit
members.
As other Admin Domains are created, upon --apply, the members used in those Admin Domains are
automatically removed from the implicit member list of AD0. If the devices used for Admin Domain
creation are already zoned in AD0 and if you want to move those devices from AD0 without any traffic
disruption between those devices, do the following:
Add the devices to AD0's explicit member list using --add and --apply;
Create new ADs with the devices and --apply;
--select or login to the new Admin Domain and create relevant zone configuration and zones
copy could be used for this). Enable the new zone configuration under the Admin Domain;
(Optionally) Remove explicit members from AD0 (using -remove and --apply). Remove the member
references from AD0's zone database

The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
