How you end the transaction determines the disposition of the Admin Domain configuration in the transaction buffer. The following commands end the Admin Domain transaction: ad --save Saves the changes in the transaction buffer to the defined configuration in persistent storage and propagates the defined configuration to all switches in the fabric. Note that for delete and clear operations, if one or more of the deleted Admin Domains are in the effective configuration, you cannot use --save, but must use --apply instead. ad --apply Saves the changes to the defined configuration in persistent storage and enforces the defined configuration on all switches in the fabric, replacing the effective configuration. ad Aborts the transaction and clears the transaction buffer. The effective and --transabort defined configurations remain unchanged. You can enter the ad --transshow command at any time to display the ID of the current Admin Domain transaction. Detailed information about CLI syntax and options is available in the Fabric OS Command Reference. Setting the default zone mode To begin implementing an Admin Domain structure within your SAN, you must first set the default zone mode to No Access. You must be in AD0 to change the default zone mode. You can use the defZone --show command to see the current default zone mode setting. To set the default zone mode: 1. Log in to an AD-aware switch in the fabric with the appropriate RBAC role. 2. Ensure you are in the AD0 context. Use the ad --show command to determine the current Admin Domain and the ad --select 0 command to switch to the AD0 context, if necessary. 3. Enter the defZone --noAccess command, and respond to the prompt with a y. 4. Enter the cfgSave command. sw5:admin> defzone --noaccess You are about to set the Default Zone access mode to No Access Do you want to set the Default Zone access mode to No Access ? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y sw5:admin> cfgsave You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This action will only save the changes on Defined configuration. Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not take effect until it is re-enabled. Do you want to save Defined zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y Updating flash ... sw5:admin> Creating an Admin Domain To create an Admin Domain, you must specify an Admin Domain name, number, or both. • If you create an Admin Domain using only a number, the Admin Domain name is automatically assigned to be "ADn", where n is the number you specified. For example, if you specify AD number = 4, then AD name is set to "AD4". • If you create an Admin Domain using only a name, the Admin Domain number is automatically assigned and is the lowest available AD number, except if you specify a name in the format "ADn", in which case the Admin Domain number is assigned to be n. For example, if you specify AD name = "blueAD" and the lowest available AD number is 5, then AD name is "blueAD" and AD number is 5. 160 Managing administrative domains
