QuickTip ⎯ Using Fabric Manager software to configure switches
This QuikTip addresses licensing requirements, installation, and downloads for Fabric Manager (FM) software. This information
applies to Cisco MDS 95xx Fibre Channel Switches.
FM software license not always necessary
Here are the facts about FM license requirements:
• A license is not required to install Fabric Manager Basic for the MDS.
• A license is only applicable for Fabric Manager Enterprise.
• Fabric Manager is free software as long as only one fabric is managed at a time. Because a fabric can have multiple
switches, all of them may be managed without the FM Server Package license.
FM software installation
FM software can be installed using the CD that comes with the switch, or it can be downloaded from the HP Web site.
Here is the link to the latest downloadable Fabric Manager software (MDS Management CD) for Cisco switches:

Note
When the install CD is used, it also installs postgresql as the DB for the FM server.
