that a specific domain will receive the majority of attention from a user, 3PAR Domains
provides the ability for administrators to set a default domain for that user.
Figure 5-2. No Assigned Default or Current Domains
A user’s default domain is the domain that user will access upon the start of each working CLI
session. For example, if you have
edit privileges to Domains A and B and your default domain
has been set to Domain A, each time you start a new CLI session you will view and work with
only objects in Domain A (Figure 5-3). The user’s default domain can be set and reset at any
time by the administrator. For information on setting a default domain, see the InForm OS CLI
Administrator’s Manual.
Expanding on the example above, the default domain (Domain A) can be reassigned to
Domain B for the current working session using the
setclienv currentdomain <name>
command. When the
currentdomain <name> is set, you are able to view and work on
objects in Domain B for a single CLI session. When that session is over, your next session is
started in your default domain (Domain A) (Figure 5-3). Thus, a current domain refers to the
domain in which you are working during a particular, single CLI session. For additional
information on setting current domains, see the InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual.
