Command availability Appendix A This appendix explains how a command is validated when it is typed at the command prompt. Command validation checks Before a command is executed, it is validated against the following checks: 1. Active or Standby availability: on enterprise-class platformssystems, checks that the command is available on the Control Processor (CP). 2. Role Based Access Control (RBAC) availability: checks that the invoking user's role is permitted to invoke the command. If the command modifies system state, the user's role must have modify permission for the command. If the command only displays system state, the user's role must have observe permission for the command. Some commands both observe and modify system state and thus require observe-modify permission. The following RBAC permissions are supported: • O = observe • OM = observe-modify, • N = none/not available 3. Admin Domain availability: checks that the command is allowed in the currently selected Admin Domain. For information on Admin Domain concepts and restrictions, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. Admin Domain Types are one or more of the following. If more than one AD type is listed for a command, the AD type is optio- specific. Display options may be allowed, but set options may be subject to Admin Domain restrictions. • SwitchMember = Allowed to execute only if the local switch is part of the current AD. • Allowed = Allowed to execute in all ADs. • PhysFabricOnly = Allowed to execute only in AD255 context (and the user should own access to AD0-AD255 and have admin RBAC privilege). • Disallowed = Only allowed to execute in AD0 or AD255 context, not allowed in AD1-AD254 context. • PortMember = All control operations allowed only if the port or the local switch is part of the current AD. View access allowed if the device attached to the port is part of the current AD. • AD0Disallowed = Allowed to execute only in AD255 and AD0 (if no ADs are configured). • AD0Only = Allowed to execute only in AD0 when ADs are not configured. 4. Command-specific: checks whether the command is supported on the platform for which it is targeted. Fabric OS Command Reference 721 53-1000599-02
