where username is the account from which the Admin Domain is being removed (the account must
already exist), admindomain_ID is the home Admin Domain, and admindomain_ID_list is the Admin
Domain list to be removed from the existing list. If the -h argument is not specified, the home Admin
Domain either remains as it was or becomes the lowest Admin Domain ID in the remaining list.
Activating and deactivating Admin Domains
An Admin Domain can be in either an active or inactive state. When you create an Admin Domain, it is
automatically in the active state.
If you deactivate an Admin Domain, the members assigned to the Admin Domain can no longer access
their hosts or storage unless those members are part of another Admin Domain.
You cannot log in to an Admin Domain that has been deactivated. You must activate an Admin Domain
before you can log in to it.
To activate an Admin Domain:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Switch to the AD255 context, if you are not already in that context.
ad --select 255
3. Issue the ad --activate command. The activate option prompts for confirmation.
ad --activate ad_id
By default, after the Admin Domain is activated, the devices specified under that AD are not able to see
each other until they are zoned together.
4. Issue the appropriate command, based on whether you want to save or activate the Admin Domain
definition:
• To save the Admin Domain definition, issue the ad --save command.
• To save the Admin Domain definition and directly apply the definition to the fabric, issue the
ad --apply command.
The following example activates Admin Domain AD_B5.
switch:AD255:admin> ad --activate AD_B5
You are about to activate a new admin domain.
Do you want to activate ’AD_B5’ admin domain (yes, y, no, n): [no]: y
