Persisting and Unpersisting Fabrics
Persisting fabrics takes a “snapshot” of the current products and connections in
the fabric as a reference point for comparison to future fabric changes. You can
export the topology, including persisted fabric information. See “
Exporting Data ”
on page 89.
Note: If the fabric’s principal switch changes, the new fabric must be manually
persisted. Persistence does not follow the new fabric even if only one switch is removed
from the original fabric. The principal switch should always be managed. Also, the
principal switch must be a HP switch or director in order to manage the devices in the
fabric.
