1. A method of providing distributed allowed domains in a fiber channel fabric, comprising the steps of:
- determining an allowed domain configuration of a resource;
retrieving one or more current domain configuration parameters;
determining a list of domains in a fiber channel fabric; and
generating an updated allowed domain list for the resource in the fabric.
