2 ad --show arguments Displays the membership information of the specified Admin Domain or all Admin Domains. When executed in an AD255 context and an Admin Domain name is not specified, all information about all existing Admin Domains is displayed. When executed in an AD0-AD254 context, the command, by default, displays the members of the current Admin Domain's effective configuration, and therefore you cannot specify an ad_id or mode. When executed in an AD255 context, all Admin Domain information from the transaction buffer, defined configuration and effective configuration is displayed. --validate arguments Checks whether Admin Domain members are from a non-Admin Domain aware switch or the members do not exist in the fabric. The output is similar to ad --show; however, all members that are from non-Admin Domain aware switches are marked with a plus sign (+). Members that are not online are marked with an asterisk (*). FC Router Front Phantom Domain and FC Router Translate Phantom Domain are virtual entities without any exposed management interfaces; therefore, any FC Router phantom switch WWN specified in an AD switch member list is marked as a non-Admin Domain aware member. All D,PI members in the device list corresponding to an FC Router Phantom Domain are marked as non-Admin Domain aware members. All FC Router imported devices in the AD device list are marked as AD-aware members. --transabort Aborts the transaction buffer. The command prompts for confirmation before aborting the transaction. --transshow Displays the ID of the current Admin Domain transaction and indicates whether or not the transaction can be aborted. The transaction cannot be aborted if it is an internal Admin Domain transaction. The following arguments are supported with selected AD actions: ad_id Uniquely identifies an Admin Domain. An ad_id can be a name or a number: name An Admin Domain name can be up to 63 bytes, must begin with a letter, and can consist of letters, numbers, and underscore characters. The Admin Domain names with the format AD[0-255] are reserved for autoassigning Admin Domain names to Admin Domains created with an Admin Domain number. and can be assigned only to the corresponding Admin Domain. Using ad --rename, for example, in 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 An Admin Domain can be specified by a number. Valid values include 0 through 255. AD0 and AD255 are always active. AD0 cannot be specified with --activate, --deactivate or --delete actions. AD255 can be specified only with --exec, --show and --validate actions. For all command iterations, with the exception of ad --create, the Admin Domain is specified either by a name or a number. For ad --create, both name and number can be specified: for example, ad --create test_ad/10 -d "100,5; 100,1". 16 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1002746-01
