To save the local Admin Domain changes, perform the following steps.
1. Select Actions > Save AD Configuration to save your changes to persistent storage as the
defined Admin Domain configuration.
2. Select Actions > Apply AD Configuration to save your changes to persistent storage and make
your changes effective in the fabric.
These options are not enabled until you make a change to the Admin Domain configuration.
If another user has an Admin Domain operation in progress at the time that you attempt to save
changes, Web Tools displays a warning to indicate that another Admin Domain transaction is in
progress on the fabric. You can select to abort the other transaction and override it with yours.
This action updates the entire contents of the Admin Domain window, not just the selected Admin
Domain. You can save your changes at any time during the Admin Domain configuration session.
Closing the Admin Domain window
It is important to remember that any changes you make in the Admin Domain window are not saved
automatically.
To close the Admin Domain window, perform the following steps.
1. In the Admin Domain window, select File > Close.
If there are changes in the buffer that were not saved, a warning message displays. Confirm
that you want to close the Admin Domain session without saving the changes.
2. Click Yes to close without saving changes, or click No to go back to the Admin Domain window
to save the changes (refer to “Saving local Admin Domain changes” on page 68).
Creating and populating domains
Setting up an Admin Domain involves the following steps.
1. Creating an Admin Domain.
2. Assigning one or more administrators to the Admin Domain.
The Admin account always has access to administer the Admin Domains, even if no other
users are assigned (refer to “Changing user account parameters” on page 180).
When you create an Admin Domain, you can activate the Admin Domain after you finish creating it.
If you activate the Admin Domain, you must click Apply to transfer your changes from the Web Tools
database to the fabric database so that your changes are applied to the fabric. You can log in to an
active Admin Domain. You cannot log in to an Admin Domain that was deactivated.
Creating an Admin Domain
To create an Admin Domain, perform the following steps.
1. Open the Admin Domain window, as described in “Opening the Admin Domain window” on
page 67.
2. Click New.
The Create Admin Domain wizard displays.
