Follow the on-screen instructions provided in the Fabric Manager management software setup wizard.
Step 4
When you connect to the server for the first time, Fabric Manager checks to see if you have the correct
Sun Java Virtual Machine version installed on your workstation. Fabric Manager looks for version 1.5(x)
during installation. If required, install the Sun Java Virtual Machine software.
You can run CiscoWorks on the same PC as Fabric Manager, even though the Java requirements are
Note
different. When installing the later Java version for Fabric Manager, make sure it does not overwrite the
earlier Java version required for CiscoWorks. Both versions of Java can coexist on your PC.
Note On Windows, remote Fabric Manager installations or upgrades should be done through the console using
VNC or through the Remote Desktop Client (RDC) in console mode (ensuring RDC is used with the
/Console option). This is very important if the default PostgreSQL database is used with Fabric
Manager, because this database requires the local console for all installations and upgrades.
Before installing Cisco Fabric Manager on a Windows Vista system, turn the User Account Control
Note
(UAC) off. To turn off UAC, select Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Turn User Account
Control on or off, clear the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer check
box, and then click OK. Click Restart Now to apply the change.
Note Telnet Client application is not installed by default on Microsoft Windows Vista. To install Telnet Client,
select Start > Programs > Control Panel > Click Turn Windows features on or off (if you have UAC
turned on you will need to give it the permission to continue). Check the Telnet Client check box and
then click OK.
As of Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.1(3a), Fabric Manager has an express installation option. When you
select this option, Fabric Manager will be installed on your computer with a set of default user
credentials. If the PostgreSQL database is not present on your computer, the installer will install
PostgreSQL. If the PostgreSQL database is present, the installer will upgrade it to latest version. You
may change the default credentials after the installation is complete.
