Command Availability • Command validation checks 1183 • Command Virtual Fabrics and Remote Domain execution restrictions 1184 Command validation checks Before a command is executed, it is validated against the following checks. 1. Active or Standby availability: On enterprise-class platforms systems, 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 or not available 3. Virtual Fabric availability: If Virtual Fabrics are enabled, commands are checked for context and switch type as follows: • Virtual Fabric context (VF) = Command applies to the current logical switch only, or to a specified logical switch. Virtual Fabric commands are further constrained by one of the following switch types: - All Switches (All) = Command can be run in any switch context. - Base Switch (BS) = Command can be run only on the base switch. - Default Switch (DS) = Command can be run only on the default switch. - N/A = Switch type is not applicable to the command. • Chassis context (CH) = Command applies to the chassis on which it is executed. • Switch and Chassis context (VF/CH) = Command applies to the switch and the chassis. • Disallowed = Command cannot be executed when Virtual Fabrics are enabled. 4. Command-specific: Checks whether the command is supported on the platform for which it is targeted. 5. Remote Domain Execution: Commands can be executed from a specified remote domain or logical switch context. In most cases, the Show commands and the commands with show options are supported. NOTE To determine RBAC permissions for a specified command and associated major options,use the classConfig --showcli command. Refer to"Using Fabric OS Commands" for more information.
