Using the Fabrics View

View Area

Right-click a blank area in the Topology view area, away from an ISL line or product
icon, to display the following menu options:
• Clear All ISL Alerts. Click to clear all ISL alerts (yellow triangles) from the view
of the persisted fabric.
• Display Options. Click to display a secondary menu that allows you to change the
label under the product icons.
— Product Name. The name of the product configured through the Configure
Identification dialog box in the Product Manager.
— Network Address. The internet protocol (IP) address or DNS host name of
product.
— World Wide Name. Displays the products 8-byte WWN.
— Domain ID. The product's domain identification number (1-31) assigned by
the fabric.
— Nickname. The nickname, if configured through the Configure Nicknames
dialog box (Configure menu on menu bar). If the nickname is not configured,
the WWN displays instead.
• Persist Fabric Topology. This persists the currently selected fabric. If the fabric
was not persisted previously, this option displays the Persist Fabric dialog box,
where you can provide a name for the persisted fabric. A persisted fabric is a
"snapshot" of the current fabric. When the fabric configuration of ISLs and
products change from this snapshot, status indicators display in the tab view, and
entries on fabric changes appear in the Fabric Log. For details, refer to
Fabrics on page
• Unpersist Fabric Topology. This option only displays if a fabric has been
persisted. Clicking 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 not appear by the WWN.
• Properties. Click to display the Properties dialog box for the product. Refer to
