Example of creating Admin Domains
The following example creates Admin Domain AD1, consisting of two switches, which are
designated by domain ID and switch WWN.
switch:AD255:admin> ad --create AD1 -s "97; 10:00:00:60:69:80:59:13"
The following example creates Admin Domain “blue_ad,” consisting of two switch ports
(designated by domain,index), one device (designated by device WWN), and two switches
(designated by domain ID and switch WWN).
switch:AD255:admin> ad --create blue_ad –d "100,5; 1,3;
21:00:00:e0:8b:05:4d:05" –s "97; 10:00:00:60:69:80:59:13"
User assignments to Admin Domains
After you create an Admin Domain, you can specify one or more user accounts as the valid
accounts that can use that Admin Domain. User accounts have the following characteristics with
regard to Admin Domains:
• A user account can have only a single role.
• You can configure a user account to have access to the physical fabric through AD255 and to a
list of Admin Domains (AD0 through AD254).
• You can configure a user account to have access to only a subset of your own Admin Domain
list. Only a physical fabric administrator can create another physical fabric administrator user
account.
• Users capable of using multiple Admin Domains can designate one of these Admin Domains as
the home Admin Domain, which is the default Admin Domain context after login.
• If you do not specify one, the home Admin Domain is the lowest valid Admin Domain in the
numerically-sorted AD list.
• Users can log in to their Admin Domains and create their own Admin Domain-specific zones
and zone configurations.
