Admin Domain window

To enable Admin Domains, perform the following steps.

1. Change the Admin Domain context to AD0. Refer to “Changing the Admin Domain context” on

page 21.

NOTE

Changing the Admin Domain context requires using Web Tools with the EGM license;

otherwise, access to this feature is denied and an error message displays. Change the Default

Zone mode to No Access. Refer to “Setting the default zoning mode” on page 119 for more

information.

2. Navigate to AD255 or the physical fabric and begin managing the Admin Domains.

Admin Domain window

You can view and manage Admin Domains through the Admin Domain window.

If you are not using Web Tools with the EGM licensed installed, managing Admin Domain

operations is denied and an error message displays.

The EGM license is required only for 8 Gbps platforms, such as the:

• Brocade Encryption Switch

• Brocade 300, 5300, and 5100 switches

• Brocade VA-40FC

• Brocade 8000

• Brocade 7800

For non-8 Gbps platforms, all functionalities are available without EGM license.

The Admin Domain window displays information about the Admin Domains that are defined in the

fabric. If you launch the Admin Domain window from AD255 (physical fabric), the window contains

information about the current content of all Admin Domains. If you launch the Admin Domain

window from any other Admin Domain, the window displays the current Admin Domain only.

To manage Admin Domains, you must be logged in with the role of Admin.

ATTENTION

Any changes you make in the Admin Domain window are held in a buffered environment and are not

saved to persistent storage until you explicitly save the changes. If you close the Admin Domain

window without saving your changes, your changes are lost.

To save the buffered changes you make to persistent storage in the Admin Domain window, refer to

“Saving local Admin Domain changes” on page 68.

When you are logged into AD0, if a physical fabric administrator modifies the AD configuration from

another session, the changes in the membership might not be visible to you.
