Guidelines
for

Managing

Domains
This
topic

includes

the

following

guidelines:

•
Domains
are

logical

concepts.

You

do

not

delete

a

member

of

a

domain

when

you

delete

the

domain.

•
Domains
can

include

supported
Cisco

chassis,

ACE

modules,

ACE

appliances,

and

CSS

or

CSM
devices,
as

well

as

their

virtual

contexts,

building

blocks,

resource

classes,

and

real

and

virtual
servers.

•
Choose
the

Allow

All

setting
to
include
current
and
future
device
objects
in

a

domain.

•
Objects
must

already

exist

in

ANM.

To

add

objects,

see

the
“Importing
Network
Devices

into

ANM”
section
on

page

5-10 .

•
You
must

have

the

ability

to

create

real

servers

in

your
role
and

at

least

one

virtual

context

in

your
domain
before

you

can

create

real

servers.

•
You
must

have

the

ability

to

create

virtual

contexts

in

your
role
and

an

Admin
context
in
your
domain
before

you

can

create

virtual

contexts.

•
Domains
continue

to

display

device

information

even

after

you

remove

that

device

from

ANM.

This
allows
the

domain

information

to

be

easily

reassociated

if

you

reimport

the

device.

The

device

name
must
remain

the

same

for

this

to

work

properly.

•
(GSS
domain

objects
only)

ANM

does

not

allow

you

to

add
a
VIP
answer

to

a

domain

if

the

answer
contains
a

space

in

its

name.
Caution
Domain
objects

are

hierarchical.

If
you
include

a

parent

object

in

a

domain,

the

child

object

is

also
included
even

though

they

do

not


di

splay

in

the

Object

selector

t

ree

when

you

add

or

ed

it

domains.
For
example:

–

al

l

cards,

vi

rtual

contexts,
