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 “
Persistent Fabrics
” on page 111.
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.
