Persisting and unpersisting fabrics
When you persist a fabric, you take a snapshot of the fabric’s products and connections. This serves
as a reference point for future comparisons. You can export the persisted fabric information for
future reference. See ”Exporting data” on page 63.
NOTE: Each fabric has an HP principal switch to manage the devices in fabric. If the principal
switch changes, the new fabric must be manually persisted.
