Admin Domain configuration maintenance
When you log in to the switch as a physical fabric administrator and back up a configuration, all
local switch configuration parameters are saved, as well as all Admin Domain membership
information and Admin Domain zone databases.
To perform a configuration upload or download, you should have the Admin Domain of AD255 or
AD0, if no other user-defined Admin Domains exist. A configuration upload or download gathers all
the configuration files for the fabric, including Admin Domains. For more information on Admin
Domains, refer to “Requirements for Admin Domains” on page 65.
When the configuration is backed up, one of the following scenarios is possible:
• If the current Admin Domain does not own the switch and you are logged in with any role that
allows configuration upload or download, the following items are saved in the configuration file:
- Local zone configuration
- No other configuration information
• If the current Admin Domain owns the switch and you are logged in with any role that allows
configuration upload or download, the following items are saved in the configuration file:
- Local zone configuration
- All other configuration information except Admin Domain configuration information
• If you invoke Admin Domain from AD255 and you are logged in with any role that allows
configuration upload/download, the following items are saved in the configuration file:
- Configuration information for zones in all Admin Domains
- All other configuration information, including zoning from all Admin Domains
