SAN management with Admin Domains

17

LSAN zone names in AD0 are never converted for backward-compatibility reasons.

The auto-converted LSAN zone names might collide with LSAN zone names in AD0 (in the example,
if AD0 contains lsan_for_linux_farm_AD005, this causes a name collision). Fabric OS does not
detect or report such name clashes.

LSAN zone names greater than 57 characters are not converted or sent to the FCR phantom
domain.

LSAN zones defined within an Admin Domain must contain devices that are applicable to that
Admin Domain only. A device must not be included in more than one LSAN zone across multiple
Admin Domains. Device discovery problems might occur if LSAN zones in one Admin Domain
contain devices that belong to another Admin Domain.

Refer to

Chapter 24, “Using FC-FC Routing to Connect Fabrics,”

for information about LSAN zones.

Configuration upload and download in an AD context

The behavior of the configUpload and configDownload commands varies depending on the AD
context and whether the switch is a member of the current Admin Domain. In the AD context, these
commands include only the zone configuration of the current Admin Domain. If the switch is a
member of the Admin Domain, all switch configuration parameters are saved and the zone
database for that Admin Domain is also saved.

Table 68

lists the sections in the configuration file and the Admin Domain contexts in which you

can upload and download these sections. Refer to

Chapter 8, “Maintaining the Switch

Configuration File,”

for additional information about uploading and downloading configurations.

NOTE

You cannot use configDownload to restore a single Admin Domain. To restore a single Admin
Domain, you must first delete all Admin Domains and then issue configDownload to restore them.

The configDefault command does not clear zone or Admin Domain database information.
This command is allowed only if the switch is a member of the current Admin Domain.
