HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.1.1 administrator guide (5697-0235, December 2009)

170 Managing administrative domains
RASLog and SYSlog output is not filtered based on AD membership.
See the Fabric OS Command Reference for more detailed information about command syntax and usage
and to understand how existing commands behave in an AD context.
Executing a command in a different AD context
You can execute a command in an Admin Domain that is different from your current AD context. The
Admin Domain must be one that you can access. This option creates a new shell with the current user_id,
switches to the specified Admin Domain, performs the specified command, and exits the shell.
To execute a command in a different Admin Domain context:
1. Connect to the switch and log in.
2. Issue the ad
--exec command, specifying the Admin Domain and the command you want to execute:
ad --exec ad_id "command"
The following example executes the switchShow command in the AD7 context.
switch:AD255:admin> ad --exec 7 "switchshow"
Displaying an Admin Domain configuration
You can display the membership information and zone database information of a specified Admin
Domain. Note the following differences in the information displayed, based on the Admin Domain:
• AD255: if you do not specify the AD_name or number, all information about all existing Admin
Domains is displayed.
• AD0-AD254 contexts: the membership of the current Admin Domain is displayed.
• AD0: the device and switch list members are categorized into implicit and explicit member lists.
To show an Admin Domain:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as any user type.
2. Issue the ad
--show command.
ad --show
If you are in the AD0 context, you can use the -i option to display the implicit membership list of AD0;
otherwise, only the explicit membership list is displayed.
ad --show -i
If you are in the AD255 context, all Admin Domain configuration from the transaction buffer, defined
configuration, and effective configuration is displayed, unless you use the -m option:
ad --show ad_id -m mode
where ad_id is the Admin Domain for which you want to display information and mode is one of the
following:
• 0 to display the Admin Domain configuration in the current transaction buffer.
• 1 to display the Admin Domain configuration stored in the persistent memory (defined
configuration).
• 2 to display the currently enforced Admin Domain configuration (effective configuration).
The following example displays membership information about AD1.
