Renaming an Admin Domain
Use this procedure if you want to change the name of an Admin Domain. You can also change auto-
assigned names (ADn).
The rename operation does not take effect if the Admin Domain you want to rename is part of the
effective configuration.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Switch to the AD255 context, if you are not already in that context.
ad --select 255
3. Enter the ad --rename command with the present name and the new name.
ad --rename
present_name new_name
4. Enter the appropriate command based on whether you want to save or activate the Admin Domain
definition:
• To save the Admin Domain definition, enter ad --save .
• To save the Admin Domain definition and directly apply the definition to the fabric, enter ad --
apply .
The Admin Domain numbers remain unchanged after the operation.
The following example changes the name of Admin Domain Eng_AD to Eng_AD2
switch:AD255:admin> ad --rename Eng_AD Eng_AD2
Deleting an Admin Domain
When you delete an Admin Domain, its devices no longer have access to the members of the zones
with which it was associated.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Switch to the Admin Domain that you want to delete.
ad --select ad_id
3. Enter the appropriate command to clear the zone database under the Admin Domain you want to
delete.
• To remove the effective configuration, enter cfgdisable .
• To remove the defined configuration, enter cfgclear .
• To save the changes to nonvolatile memory, enter cfgsave .
4. Switch to the AD255 context.
ad --select 255
5. Enter the ad --delete command.
ad --delete ad_id
The ad --delete command prompts you for confirmation before triggering the deletion. The command
succeeds whether the Admin Domain is in an activated or deactivated state.
6. Enter the ad --apply command to save the Admin Domain definition and directly apply the definition
to the fabric.
The following example deletes Admin Domain AD_B3.
switch:AD255:admin> ad --delete AD_B3
You are about to delete an AD.
