Exiting SANbox Manager
When exiting SANbox Manager, the current fabric view is encrypted and saved to
the default fabric view file (fc_view.dft). A password is required to encrypt and
save the default fabric view file the first time you exit SANbox Manager. When you
exit subsequent sessions, SANbox Manager closes and saves the default fabric
view file automatically without having to enter a password.
In your next session, SANbox Manager opens the default fabric view file
automatically after entering its password. To prevent SANbox Manager from
automatically saving the default fabric view file each time you exit SANbox
Manager, set the View File Auto Save and Load preferences setting to Disable
(Enable is the default). Refer to ”Setting Preferences” on page 2-9 for more
information.
To exit a SANbox Manager application session, open the File menu and select
Exit. The system prompts you to enter a password with which to protect the
default fabric view file as shown in Figure 2-4. Choose one of the following:
■ Enter a password and choose the Save View File button to save the current
set of fabrics in the default fabric view file (fc_view.dft) in the working
directory.
■ Choose the Exit Without Saving button to exit the application without
saving the current fabrics to the default fabric view file.
■ Choose the Cancel Exit button to cancel the exit operation.
Figure 2-4. Save Current Fabric View Window
If the default fabric view file was saved with a password, the next time you open
the SANbox Manager application, you will be prompted for the password in the
Load Default Fabric View File window as shown in Figure 2-2. Your fabric opens
after entering the password.
