Understanding the AD transaction model
This section summarizes the
ad
command. This command follows a batched-transaction model, which
means that changes to the Admin Domain configuration occur in the transaction buffer.
An Admin Domain configuration can exist in several places:
• Effective configuration —The Admin Domain configuration that is currently in effect.
• Defined configuration —The Admin Domain configuration that is saved in flash memory. There
might be differences between the effective configuration and the defined configuration.
• Transaction buffer —The Admin Domain configuration that is in the current transaction buffer and
has not yet been saved or canceled.
How you end the transaction determines the disposition of the Admin Domain configuration in the
transaction buffer. The following commands end the Admin Domain transaction:
ad --save
Saves the changes in the transaction buffer to the defined configuration in persistent storage and
propagates the defined configuration to all switches in the fabric. Note that for delete and clear
operations, if one or more of the deleted Admin Domains are in the effective configuration, you cannot use
--save
, but must use
--apply
instead.
ad --apply
Saves the changes to the defined configuration in persistent storage and enforces the defined configuration
on all switches in the fabric, replacing the effective configuration.
ad --transabort
Aborts the transaction and clears the transaction buffer. The effective and defined configurations remain
unchanged.
You can enter the
ad --transshow
command at any time to display the ID of the current Admin Domain
transaction.
Detailed information about CLI syntax and options is available in the
Fabric OS Command Reference
Manual.
