--create arguments

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.

--deactivate arg

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.

--delete arg

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.

--exec arguments

This command performs the following tasks:

•

Creates a new shell.

•

Executes ad --select to the specified Admin Domain.

•

Executes the specified commands.

•

Exits the shell.

--remove arguments

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.

--rename arguments

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.

--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.

--select arg

Selects an Admin Domain context. This command fails if the corresponding Admin
Domain is not activated. This operation succeeds only if you have the specified
Admin Domain. This command internally spawns off a new shell within the
requested Admin Domain context. Type logout or exit to exit from the selected
Admin Domain. The zone transaction is linked to the current shell; therefore, the
zone transaction buffer is lost on logout. Use cfgTransShow to display the
current zoning transaction information.
