--add ad_id -d "dev_list"-s "switch_list"
Adds new members to an existing Admin Domain. The add operation remains
in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.
--apply Saves the current transaction buffer contents to the defined configuration
and enforces the defined configuration on all switches in the fabric. ad
--apply prompts for confirmation.
--clear Deletes all ADs and clears AD0’s explicit members. This command fails if AD1
through AD254’s zone databases are not empty. ad --clear prompts for
confirmation before deleting all Admin Domains. The clear operation remains
in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.
--create ad_id -d "dev_list"-s "switch_list"
Creates a new administrative domain with the specified device and switch
list. Newly created Admin Domains are in an activated state. On initial
creation, the ADs contain no zone database. The newly created Admin
Domain remains in the transaction buffer until it is enforced by issuing ad
--apply or ad--save. AD0 always exists. Use ad --add to add explicit
members to AD0.
--deactivate ad_id 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 result in any port disables. All existing user
sessions 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. ad --deactivate prompts for
confirmation. The deactivate operation remains in the transaction buffer until
you issue ad --apply or ad --save.
--delete ad_id Deletes an Admin Domain. This command succeeds if the Admin Domain is in
a deactivated or an activated state. AD0 always exists; using this operation on
AD0 does not delete AD0, it just removes all explicit members of AD0. AD0
zone database need not be empty before the delete operation. All existing
user sessions to a deleted 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. ad --delete prompts for
confirmation before deleting. The delete operation remains in the transaction
buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.
--exec ad_id "command"
Executes the specified command in a particular Admin Domain, which
performs the following tasks:
Create a new shell.
ad --select to the specified Admin Domain.
Execute the commands.
Exit out of the shell.
--remove ad_id -d "dev_list"-s "switch_list"
Removes one or more members from an Admin Domain. Removing the last
member element in the Admin Domain deletes the Admin Domain. The
remove operation remains in the transaction buffer until you issue ad
--apply or ad --save.
