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.
Creating a new user account for managing Admin Domains
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the userConfig --add command using the -r option to set the role, the -a option to provide
access to Admin Domains, and the -h option to specify the home Admin Domain.
userconfig --add username -r role -h home_AD -a "AD_list"
Example of creating new user accounts
The following example creates new user account ad1admin with an admin role and assigns one
Admin Domain, blue_ad1, to it. This example also assigns blue_ad1 as the user’s home Admin
Domain.
switch:admin> userconfig --add ad1admin -r admin -h blue_ad1 -a "blue_ad1"
The following example creates new user account ad2admin with an admin role, access to Admin
Domains 1 and 2, and home Admin Domain set to 2.
switch:admin> userconfig --add ad2admin -r admin -h 2 -a "1,2"
