--rename ad_id new_ad_name
Renames the Admin Domain. If a reserved name is used for new_ad_id (AD
number format), the operation fails if the reserved name does not correspond
to ad_id’s AD number. The rename operation remains in the transaction
buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.
--save Saves the outstanding Admin Domain transaction to the defined
configuration in all the switches in the fabric. The saved Admin Domain
definition enforces only when ad --apply is issued. Otherwise, attempts to
modify and save an Admin Domain that is currently being enforced will fail. ad
--save prompts for confirmation before saving.
--select ad_id Selects a different Admin Domain context. This command fails if the
corresponding Admin Domain is not yet activated. This operation succeeds
only if you have rights to use the specified Admin Domain. This command
internally spawns off a new shell with the requested Admin Domain context.
Type logout or exit to exit from the selected Admin Domain. The zone
transaction is linked to the current shell; therefore, the zone transaction
buffer will be lost on logout. You can use cfgTransShow to display the current
zoning transaction information.
--show[-i | [ad_id [-m mode]]]
Displays the membership information of the specified Admin Domain or all
Admin Domains.
When executed in AD255, if the Admin Domain name is not specified, all
information about all existing Admin Domains is displayed. When executed in
an AD0-AD254 context, the membership of the current Admin Domain’s
effective configuration alone is always displayed and hence mode flags (-m
mode) and ad_id cannot be specified.
When executed in AD255 context, all Admin Domain information from the
transaction buffer, defined configuration and effective configuration is
displayed.
A mode flag can be used to display information from a specific configuration
alone:
• -m 0 to display Admin Domains in the Transaction Buffer
• -m 1 to display Admin Domains in the Defined Configuration
• -m 2 to display Admin Domains in the Effective Configuration
Use -i to display the implicit members of AD0. When -i option is used, ad_id
cannot be specified because -i applies to AD0 alone.
--validate[-i | [ad_id [-m mo]]]
Checks whether Admin Domain members are from a non-Admin Domain
aware switch or if the members do not exist in the fabric. The output is similar
to ad --show; however, all members that are from non-Admin Domain aware
switches and members that are not online are marked with a B<(+)> or an
asterisk B<(*)> at the end, respectively.
