Deleting a fabric from fabric manager
If you decide you no longer want Fabric Manager to monitor a specific fabric, you can delete it. However,
deleting a fabric also deletes any Change Management profiles and snapshots (see Chapter 9, “Change
management”); removes Performance Monitoring data (including historical statistics for its switches) and
any reports or graphs that have been generated and saved in the database—see Chapter 8, “Discovering
and customizing fabrics”. Any switches and ports from the fabric are removed from their switch or port
groups (see ”Working with switch and port groups” on page 63).
To delete a fabric from Fabric Manager:
Right-click the fabric from the SAN Elements tab that you want to remove and select Delete from the context
menu. Fabric Manager prompts you to ensure that you want to delete the fabric.
Renaming a fabric
When you discover a fabric, Fabric Manager assigns a name to that fabric that matches the name of the
switch that you used to discover the fabric. For example, to monitor a fabric that includes Switch_01, enter
the IP address of Switch_01 in the Address text box/drop-down menu to discover the fabric. Fabric
Manager then names that fabric Switch_01 and displays that name in the SAN Elements tab.
NOTE: Fabric names and device names are concepts used only by Fabric Manager. Removing or
renaming fabric names and device names apply only to the Fabric Manager server.
After you discover the fabric, you can assign a more meaningful name (for example, mktng_SAN or HQ).
Fabric information is global and any changes you make to the fabric, including renaming the fabric, are
displayed to all users connected to the Fabric Manager server. No information is copied or changed on
any switches.
