How do I set the map layout so it stays after Fabric Manager restarted?

If you have arranged the map to your liking and would like to "freeze" the map so that the objects stay
as they are even after you stop Fabric Manager and restart it again, follow these steps:
Right-click in a blank space in the map. You see a menu.
Step 1
Select Layout > Fix All Nodes from the menu.
Step 2
What do I do when two switches show on the map, but there is only one
switch?
If two switches show on your map, but you only have one switch, it may be that you have two switches
in a non-contiguous VSAN that have the same Domain ID. Fabric Manager uses <vsanId><domainId>
to look up a switch, and this can cause the fabric discovery to assign links incorrectly between these
errant switches.
The workaround is to verify that all switches use unique domain IDs within the same VSAN in a
physically connected fabric. (The fabric configuration checker will do this task.)

What does a red/orange/dotted line through the switch mean?

If a red line shows through your switch, this means Fabric Manger sees something wrong with the
switch. Choose Switches in the Physical Attributes pane to see a status report in the information pane.
A module, fan, or power supply has failed or is offline and plugged in.
If a dotted orange line shows through your switch, this indicates a minor status warning for that switch.
Usually it means an issue with one of the modules. The tooltip should say exactly what is wrong. Hold
the mouse over the switch to see the tooltip.
