13 – Command Reference Admin
S
Admin
| Opens and closes an Admin session. The Admin session provides access to |
| commands that change the fabric and switch configurations. Only one Admin |
| session can be open on the switch at any time. An inactive Admin session will |
| time out after a period of time which can be changed using the Set Setup System |
| command. |
Authority | User account with Admin authority |
Syntax | admin |
| start (or begin) |
| end (or stop) |
| cancel |
Keywords | start (or begin) |
| Opens the Admin session |
| end (or stop) |
| Closes the Admin session. The Hardreset, Hotreset, Quit, Shutdown, and |
| Reset Switch commands will also end an Admin session. |
| cancel |
| Terminates an Admin session opened by another user. Use this keyword with care |
| because it terminates the Admin session without warning the other user and |
| without saving pending changes. |
Notes | Closing a Telnet window during an Admin session does not release the session. In |
| this case, you must either wait for the Admin session to time out, or use the Admin |
| Cancel command. |
Examples | The following example shows how to open and close an Admin session: |
| SANbox #> admin start |
| SANbox (admin) #> |
| . |
| . |
| . |
| SANbox (admin) #> admin end |
