Domain aware members. All FC Router imported devices in the AD device list
will be marked as AD-aware members.
Note
Note: ad --show and ad --validate may return incorrect information about switch
port members for non-AD aware switches running pre-v3.2 Fabric OS. This is
because pre-v3.2 Fabric OS does not support Exchange Service Support (ESS),
and therefore the Name Server cannot get the correct port range of such switches.
--transabort Aborts the transaction buffer. ad --transabort prompts for confirmation before
aborting the transaction.
--transshow Displays the ID of the current Admin Domain transaction. It also provides
information about whether the transaction can be aborted. The transaction cannot
be aborted if it is an internal Admin Domain transaction.
