SAN management with Admin Domains

• AD0-AD254 contexts: the membership of the current Admin Domain is displayed.
• AD0: the device and switch list members are categorized into implicit and explicit member
lists.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as any user type.
2. Enter the ad
--show command.
ad --show
If you are in the AD0 context, you can use the -i option to display the implicit membership list of
AD0; otherwise, only the explicit membership list is displayed.
ad --show -i
If you are in the AD255 context, all Admin Domain configuration from the transaction buffer,
defined configuration, and effective configuration is displayed, unless you use the -m option:
ad --show ad_id -m mode
where ad_id is the Admin Domain for which you want to display information and mode is one of
the following:
• 0 to display the Admin Domain configuration in the current transaction buffer.
• 1 to display the Admin Domain configuration stored in the persistent memory (defined
configuration).
• 2 to display the currently enforced Admin Domain configuration (effective configuration).
Example
The following example displays membership information about AD1.
switch:AD1:admin> ad --show
Current AD Number: 1 AD Name: TheSwitches
Effective configuration:
------------------------
AD Number: 1 AD Name: TheSwitches State: Active
Switch WWN members: 50:06:06:99:00:2a:e9:01;
50:00:51:e0:23:36:f9:01;
50:06:06:98:05:be:99:01;
Switching to a different Admin Domain context
You can switch between different Admin Domain contexts. This option creates a new shell with a
new Admin Domain context. If the corresponding Admin Domain is not activated, the operation
fails.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as any user type.
2. Enter the ad
--select command and the Admin Domain you want to switch to.
3. Leave the new Admin Domain context by exiting from the shell.
logout
You cannot switch to another Admin Domain context from within the shell created by ad
--select. You must first exit the shell, and then issue the ad --select command again.
