Using the Menu Bar
62 High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide
Fabrics
When the Fabrics tab is selected, the Fabrics menu is available; the Fabrics
menu is not available when the Products tab is selected. The Fabrics menu
displays options that are relevant to fabrics.
Rename
Choose this option to rename a Persistent Fabric. Until the fabric has been
persisted, this option is not available.
Choose this option to display the Rename Fabric dialog box. Enter a name in the
dialog box to display in the Fabric Tree and at the top of the Topology and Zone
Set tabs.
Persist Fabric Topology
Choose this option to display the Persist Fabric dialog box. Enter a name for the
fabric, and click OK to “persist” the fabric. This saves a snapshot of the fabric’s
current configuration (switches, directors, and ISLs) that displays in the Topology
tab. Visual indicators display in the Topology tab as products, and ISLs are
deleted or added to help you monitor the fabric’s status over time. This also
creates a Fabric Log (available from the Logs menu on the menu bar) that tracks
changes to the fabric over time. For details, refer to “
Persistent Fabrics ” on
page 113.
Unpersist Fabric Topology
Choosing this option displays a warning that the Fabric Log will be lost if the
fabric is unpersisted. Click Yes to unpersist the fabric, and the current view of the
fabric displays in the tab’s view area without the fabric status indicators. The
name of the fabric in the Fabric Tree changes back to the fabric’s WWN. A fabric
status icon will not appear by the WWN.
Export Fabric Topology
Choose this option to export the current fabric topology into an XML-formatted
file. You can name the output file in the Export Fabric Topology dialog box that
this option displays.
