Using the Fabrics View

Fabric Pop-Up Menu

Right-click a fabric name or WWN in the Fabric Tree to display a pop-up menu of
options.

Rename

This option is available only if the fabric is persisted. 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
page 113.

Unpersist Fabric Topology

This option displays only if a fabric has been persisted. Choosing this option will
display 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 no longer
appear by the WWN.
