2 ad --create arguments --deactivate arg --delete arg --exec arguments Creates a new Admin Domain with optionally specified device or switch members. A newly created Admin Domain is in an activated state. It initially contains no zone database. The newly created Admin Domain remains in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save. AD0 always exists. Use ad --add to add explicit members to AD0. Deactivates an Admin Domain. This operation fails if an effective zone configuration exists under the Admin Domain. This operation is not allowed on AD0. ad --deactivate does not disable any ports. Existing logins to a deactivated Admin Domain are not terminated; however, subsequent CLI execution is disallowed. A message is displayed to indicate that the current Admin Domain is not active. The command prompts for confirmation. The deactivate operation remains in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save. Deletes an Admin Domain. This command succeeds regardless of whether the Admin Domain is in a deactivated or an activated state. AD0 always exists; using this operation on AD0 does not delete AD0, it only removes all explicit members from AD0. The AD0 zone database does not need to be empty for the delete operation to succeed. Not all existing user sessions to a deleted Admin Domain are terminated; however, subsequent CLI execution is disallowed. A message displays indicating that the current Admin Domain is not active. The command prompts for confirmation before executing the delete action. The delete operation remains in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save. This command performs the following tasks: 1. Create a new shell. 2. Executes ad --select to the specified Admin Domain. 3. Executes the specified commands. 4. Exits the shell. --remove arguments Removes one or more members from an Admin Domain. Removing the last member from an Admin Domain deletes the Admin Domain. The remove operation remains in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save. --rename arguments Renames the specified 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 the ad_id 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 on all switches in the fabric. The saved Admin Domain definition is enforced only when ad --apply is issued. Attempts to modify and save an Admin Domain that is currently enforced will fail. The command prompts for confirmation. 12 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001337-01
