Using the Fabrics View Fabrics Choose the Fabrics menu on the menu bar to display the following options. Rename This option is only active if a fabric is persisted. Click this to display the Rename Fabric dialog box. Enter a new name to change the name displayed in the Fabrics View. 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 changes from this snapshot, status indicators display in the tab view and entries on fabric changes appear in the Fabric Log. For details, refer to "Persistent Fabrics" on page 111. Unpersist Fabric Topology This option is only enabled if a fabric has been persisted. Selecting 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. Export Fabric Topology Click to display the Export Fabric Topology dialog box. Use this dialog box to create an .xml file containing fabric topology information and an associated Fabric Topology .dtd file. The .dtd file is required for reading the .xml file in browsers. Enter a name in the dialog box for the .xml file in the File Name field, select a folder on your C: drive or network drive where you want to save the file, then click Save. You can open this file and read its contents using any ASCII editor, such as Notepad. Information is grouped under the WWN of each fabric member (switch or director). Information includes: ■ WWN and domain ID of the switch or director. ■ Output port on the switch or director where an ISL is attached. 116 High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide
