17 Admin Domain management for physical fabric administrators ad --select 255 5. Enter the ad --create command using the -d option to specify device and switch port members and the -s option to specify switch members: ad --create ad_id -d "dev_list" -s "switch_list" 6. Enter the appropriate command based on whether you want to save or activate the Admin Domain definition: • To save the Admin Domain definition, enter ad --save. • To save the Admin Domain definition and directly apply the definition to the fabric, enter ad --apply. 7. Set up zones in the newly created Admin Domain. Refer to Chapter 11, "Administering Advanced Zoning," for instructions. Example of creating Admin Domains The following example creates Admin Domain AD1, consisting of two switches, which are designated by domain ID and switch WWN. switch:AD255:admin> ad --create AD1 -s "97; 10:00:00:60:69:80:59:13" The following example creates Admin Domain "blue_ad," consisting of two switch ports (designated by domain,index), one device (designated by device WWN), and two switches (designated by domain ID and switch WWN). switch:AD255:admin> ad --create blue_ad -d "100,5; 1,3; 21:00:00:e0:8b:05:4d:05" -s "97; 10:00:00:60:69:80:59:13" User assignments to Admin Domains After you create an Admin Domain, you can specify one or more user accounts as the valid accounts that can use that Admin Domain. User accounts have the following characteristics with regard to Admin Domains: • A user account can have only a single role. • You can configure a user account to have access to the physical fabric through AD255 and to a list of Admin Domains (AD0 through AD254). • You can configure a user account to have access to only a subset of your own Admin Domain list. Only a physical fabric administrator can create another physical fabric administrator user account. • Users capable of using multiple Admin Domains can designate one of these Admin Domains as the home Admin Domain, which is the default Admin Domain context after login. • If you do not specify one, the home Admin Domain is the lowest valid Admin Domain in the numerically-sorted AD list. • Users can log in to their Admin Domains and create their own Admin Domain-specific zones and zone configurations. 444 Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 53-1002745-02
