4.Select Change Fabric Name from the menu.

5.In the Enter a Fabric Name box, enter a new fabric name.

6.Click OK.

Deleting Fabrics

When you delete a fabric, the elements in the fabric are not removed. After you delete the fabric, the management server recalculates the entire topology. The recalculation may take some time, especially if you have a large topology.

To delete a fabric:

1.Access System Manager (Tools > Storage Essentials > System Manager in HP Systems Insight Manager).

2.Click the List tab.

3.Right-click a fabric name.

4.Select the Delete This Fabric option from the menu.

5.When you are asked if you want to delete the fabric, click Yes.

The management server recalculates the topology. If the elements in the deleted fabric do not belong to another fabric, they are moved to the “unknown” node on the List tab.

Hiding and Showing Generic Hosts

This section contains the following topics:

•About Hiding Generic Hosts, page 290

•Hiding Generic Hosts for a Switch, page 291

•Expanding Generic Hosts for a Switch, page 291

•Hiding Generic Hosts for All Switches, page 291

•Expanding Generic Hosts for All Switches, page 291

NOTE: The feature described in this section pertains only to unnamed generic hosts. If you name a generic host, you cannot use this feature to hide the named host. The Hide generic element feature also does not work for grouped unnamed generic hosts and missing elements. To learn how to give a custom name to an unnamed generic host, see ”Assigning a Custom Name” on page 309. To learn more about groups, see the topic, ”About Groups” on page 286.

About Hiding Generic Hosts

You can reduce the amount of time it takes to arrange your topology, by using the Hide unnamed generic hosts feature to hide hosts that a switch has detected. An element is considered to be generic if the management server can detect the element but it cannot obtain additional information about the element during Getting the Topology or Discovery Data Collection.

When you use the show/hide feature, your changes persist to the next time you log into the management server. If you log in as another user, you will not see your changes. This feature allows each user to arrange the topology as he or she wishes.
