Admin Domain window

To open an Admin Domain window, perform the following steps.

1. Select a switch from the Fabric Tree and log in when prompted.

Switch View displays information for the selected switch.

2. If you plan to modify the Admin Domain configuration, from the Admin Domain menu, select

Physical Fabric.

3. Click Admin Domain in the Manage section of the Tasks menu.

The Admin Domain window displays.

Refreshing fabric information

When you refresh, the system updates the display of fabric elements only (switches, ports, and

devices). It does not update Admin Domain changes in the Admin Domain window.

This option allows you to refresh the fabric element information displayed at any time.

To refresh the fabric information open the Admin Domain window and click Refresh. The status for

the fabric, including switches, ports, and devices is refreshed.

Refreshing Admin Domain information

Any changes you make in the Admin Domain window are saved to a local buffer. They are not

applied to persistent storage until you invoke one of the transactional operations listed in the

Actions menu.

You can refresh the Admin Domain information at any time to reflect changes that might have been

made by other users or to back out of current, unsaved work and start again.

ATTENTION

When you refresh the buffered information in the Admin Domain window, any Admin Domain

configuration changes you made and not yet saved are erased from the buffer and replaced with the

currently enabled Admin Domain information that is saved on the switch.

To update the information in the Admin Domain window with the information saved on the switch,

perform the following steps.

1. In the Admin Domain window, click the Refresh arrow.

2. Click Refresh Admin Domains.

The information in the Admin Domain window is updated with the saved information on the

switch. This action also refreshes the fabric information as described in “Refreshing fabric

information” on page 68. Any unsaved Admin Domain changes are deleted.

Saving local Admin Domain changes

All information displayed and all changes made in the Admin Domain window are buffered until you

save the changes. That means that any other user looking at the Admin Domain information for the

switch does not see the changes you made until you save them.
