Using the Menu Bar Fabrics When the Fabrics tab is selected, the Fabrics menu is available; the Fabrics menu is not available when the Products tab is selected. The Fabrics menu displays options that are relevant to fabrics. Rename Choose this option to rename a Persistent Fabric. Until the fabric has been persisted, this option is not available. 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 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. 60 High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide
