A fabric view file is one or more fabrics saved to a file. To open an existing view
file, do the following:

the fabric you are currently viewing has changed, you will be prompted to
save the changes to the fabric view file with the Save View dialog before
opening a different view file.

password, if a password was entered when this fabric view file was saved.

Rediscovering a Fabric

After making changes to or deleting switches from a fabric view, it may be helpful
to again view the actual fabric configuration. The rediscover fabric option clears
out the current fabric information being displayed, and rediscovers all switch
information. To rediscover a fabric, open the Fabric menu, and select Rediscover
Fabric. The rediscover function is more comprehensive than the refresh function.
