Merging Persisted Fabrics

When you merge two persisted fabrics, the fabric whose principal switch is the
principal switch in the merged fabric becomes the "real" fabric. It includes the
switches of both fabrics in the Physical Map and the Product List. The other fabric
becomes a "ghost" fabric.
On the Physical Map, the ghost fabric displays its original products with "minus"
symbols, as shown in
and no products display under the fabric. The ghost fabric is not updated and the
Fabric Log is reset after the fabrics merge.

Splitting Persisted Fabrics

When you split persisted fabrics, the principal switch determines which fabric is
mapped to the persistent fabric. The fabric that includes the principal switch is
mapped to the persistent fabric.

Layout Changes in Persisted Fabrics

When you move a product in a persisted fabric's topology, the new positions are
stored on the client. If you log in to the appliance from a different client, you lose
the layout of the products if the fabric is not persisted with the layout changes.
