15 SAN management with Admin Domains Admin Domains and LSAN zones LSANs under each Admin Domain are collated into a single name space and sent out to FCR phantom domains using the following format: _AD For example, a zone with name lsan_for_linux_farm in AD5 is internally converted to lsan_for_linux_farm_AD005. LSAN zone names in AD0 are never converted for backward compatibility reasons. The auto-converted LSAN zone names might collide with LSAN zone names in AD0 (for example, in the above example, if AD0 contains lsan_for_linux_farm_AD005, this causes a name collision). Fabric OS does not detect or report such name clashes. LSAN zone names greater than 57 characters are not converted or sent to the FCR phantom domain. See Chapter 21, "Using the FC-FC Routing Service," for information about LSAN zones. Configuration upload and download in an AD context The behavior of the configUpload and configDownload commands varies depending on the AD context and whether the switch is a member of the current Admin Domain. In the AD context, these commands include only the zone configuration of the current Admin Domain. If the switch is a member of the Admin Domain, all switch configuration parameters are saved and the zone database for that Admin Domain is also saved. Table 76 lists the sections in the configuration file and the Admin Domain contexts in which you can upload and download these sections. See Chapter 8, "Maintaining the Switch Configuration File," for additional information about uploading and downloading configurations. NOTE You cannot use configDownload to restore a single Admin Domain. To restore a single Admin Domain, you must first delete all Admin Domains and then issue configDownload to restore them.
