Exiting HP StorageWorks Fabric View
To exit a HP StorageWorks Fabric View session, select File > Exit. The current fabric view is
automatically saved to your default fabric view file upon exit, if you have defined an
encryption key. The key is encrypted and saved with your default fabric view file. A fabric
view file contains the set of fabrics that have been added and the graphs that have been opened
during a HP StorageWorks Fabric View session. If you have not yet defined an encryption
key, the Save Default Fabric View File dialog box (Figure 2) prompts you to save the current
fabric view as the default fabric view file. See “Changing the encryption key for the default
fabric view file” on page 23 for information about defining and changing this encryption key.
In the Save Default Fabric View File dialog box, enter an encryption key in the Default
Fabric File Encryption Key box. Re-enter the encryption key in the Re-enter Encryption
Key to Confirm box. Click OK to save the current set of HP StorageWorks Fabric View
fabrics to the default fabric view file in the working directory.
To prevent HP StorageWorks Fabric View from prompting you to save the default fabric view
file between sessions, set the Auto Load and Save Graphing Environment setting to Enable
(default). See “Setting HP StorageWorks Fabric View preferences” on page 93 for more
information.

In your next HP StorageWorks Fabric View session, the Load Default Fabric File dialog box
(Figure 3) prompts you to load the default fabric view file and to specify its encryption key, if
there is one. In the Default Fabric File Encryption Key box, enter the encryption key and
then click Load View File. If you do not want to load the default fabric view file, click
Continue Without Loading to open the HP StorageWorks Fabric View with no fabric
displayed.
