--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, digits, and underscore characters. The Admin Domain
names with the format AD[0-255] are reserved for auto-assigning 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”.
