ad 2 Operands All switches, switch ports and devices from the fabric that are not specified in any other Admin Domain are treated as implicit members of AD0. Members added to AD0 through --add are called explicit members. As other Admin Domains are created, upon --apply, the members used in those Admin Domains are automatically removed from the implicit member list of AD0. If the devices used for Admin Domain creation are already zoned in AD0 and if you want to move those devices from AD0 without any traffic disruption between those devices, do the following: Add the devices to AD0's explicit member list using --add and --apply; Create new ADs with the devices and --apply; --select or login to the new Admin Domain and create relevant zone configuration and zones (zone --copy could be used for this). Enable the new zone configuration under the Admin Domain; (Optionally) Remove explicit members from AD0 (using -remove and --apply). Remove the member references from AD0's zone database The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. This command has the following operands: ad_id identifies an Admin Domain using a unique name or number: Name Admin Domain names can be up to 63 bytes, must begin with a letter, and can consist of letters, digits, and underscore characters. The Admin Domain names with the format AD[0-255] are reserved (for auto-assigning Admin Domain names to Admin Domains created with an Admin Domain number) and can be assigned to the corresponding Admin Domain alone. Using ad --rename, for example, an attempt to assign a name of AD5 to an Admin Domain with ID not equal to 5 fails. Admin Domain names are case sensitive. Number Admin Domain can be specified as a number. Valid values include 0 through 255. AD0 and AD255 are always active. AD0 cannot be specified for --activate, --deactivate or --delete subcommands. AD255 can be specified in --exec, --show and --validate subcommands alone. For all command iterations, except ad --create, the Admin Domain is specified either through Admin Domain name or number. For ad --create, both name and number can be specified: for example, ad --create test_ad/10 -d "100,5; 100,1". -d "dev_list" Specifies the list of devices in an Admin Domain, in quotation marks. Separate each entry in the device list with a semicolon (;). The specifiable formats include: D,PI Uses existing zone D,PI member types. Benefits include: • Grants port control and zoning on the switch port and the devices attached to that port. • PI can be specified as a range; for example, D,[0-34]. The port index range is expanded and stored internally. Same D,PI members can be specified in more than one Admin Domain. Device WWN Uses traditional zone WWN member types. Benefits include: Supports node or port WWNs. Fabric OS Command Reference Manual 7 53-1000436-01
