Using the Menu Bar

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

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.

Show Route

Choose this option to display the Show Route dialog box. Use this dialog box to view
the path that Fibre Channel frames must take between two end devices in a
multiswitch fabric. Refer to
route and how to interpret the display.

Hide Route

If a route has been displayed, the Hide Route option is available. Choose this option
to remove the route currently displayed in the Topology tab view area.
