--apply Saves the current transaction buffer contents to the defined configuration

and enforces the defined configuration on all switches in the fabric. ad --apply

prompts for confirmation.

--clear Deletes all ADs and clears AD0’s explicit members. This command fails if AD1

through AD254’s zone databases are not empty. ad --clear prompts for

confirmation before deleting all Admin Domains. The clear operation remains

in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.

--create ad_id -d "dev_list"-s "switch_list"

Creates a new administrative domain with the specified device and switch

list. Newly created Admin Domains are in an activated state. On initial

creation, the ADs contain no zone database. The newly created Admin

Domain remains in the transaction buffer until it is enforced by issuing ad

--apply or ad--save. AD0 always exists. Use ad --add to add explicit members

to AD0.

--deactivate ad_id Deactivates an Admin Domain. This operation fails if an effective zone

configuration exists under the Admin Domain. This operation is not allowed

on AD0. ad --deactivate does not result in any port disables. All existing user

sessions to a deactivated Admin Domain are not terminated; however,

subsequent CLI execution is disallowed. A message is displayed to indicate

that the current Admin Domain is not active. ad --deactivate prompts for

confirmation. The deactivate operation remains in the transaction buffer until

you issue ad --apply or ad --save.

--delete ad_id Deletes an Admin Domain. This command succeeds if the Admin Domain is in

a deactivated or an activated state. AD0 always exists; using this operation on

AD0 does not delete AD0, it just removes all explicit members of AD0. AD0

zone database need not be empty before the delete operation. All existing

user sessions to a deleted Admin Domain are not terminated; however,

subsequent CLI execution is disallowed. A message is displayed to indicate

that the current Admin Domain is not active. ad --delete prompts for

confirmation before deleting. The delete operation remains in the transaction

buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.

--exec

ad_id "command"

Executes the specified command in a particular Admin Domain, which

performs the following tasks:

Create a new shell.

ad --select to the specified Admin Domain.

Execute the commands.

Exit out of the shell.

--remove ad_id -d "dev_list"-s "switch_list"

Removes one or more members from an Admin Domain. Removing the last

member element in the Admin Domain deletes the Admin Domain. The

remove operation remains in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply

or ad --save.
