--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".
