Description Use this command to manage Admin Domain operations. Admin Domains are not supported in Fabric OS v8.0.1.
When this command is executed, it displays the following warning message: "Warning: Admin Domains are not
supported in Fabric OS v8.0.1. Admin Domain commands and functionality will be removed in future Fabric OS
versions."
This command follows a batched-transaction model. When executed with the --activate, --add, --clear, --create,
--deactivate, --delete, --remove, --rename options, this command changes only the Defined Configuration in the
transaction buffer. The --save option sends the changes made in the transaction buffer to all other switches and
permanently saves the changes to the Defined configuration in persistent storage. The --apply option performs a
save operation, sends a request to apply the Admin Domain configuration (as defined in the persistent storage),
and then enforces the configuration locally.
