Deployment Guide

LSAN zones defined within an Admin Domain must contain devices that are applicable to that Admin
Domain only. A device must not be included in more than one LSAN zone across multiple Admin
Domains. Device discovery problems might occur if LSAN zones in one Admin Domain contain
devices that belong to another Admin Domain.
Refer to Using FC-FC Routing to Connect Fabrics on page 533 for information about LSAN zones.
Configuration upload and download in an AD context
The behavior of the configUpload and configDownload commands varies depending on the AD
context and whether the switch is a member of the current Admin Domain. In the AD context, these
commands include only the zone configuration of the current Admin Domain. If the switch is a member
of the Admin Domain, all switch configuration parameters are saved and the zone database for that
Admin Domain is also saved.
The following table lists the sections in the configuration file and the Admin Domain contexts in which
you can upload and download these sections. Refer to Maintaining the Switch Configuration File on
page 255 for additional information about uploading and downloading configurations.
NOTE
You cannot use configDownload to restore a single Admin Domain. To restore a single Admin
Domain, you must first delete all Admin Domains and then issue configDownload to restore them.
