To install Fabric Manager on Solaris, follow these steps:
Step 1 Set Java 1.5 to the path that is to be used for installing Fabric Manager.
Step 2 Install the database that is to be used with Fabric Manager by following the instructions in the
the Database" section on page
Step 3 Copy the Fabric Manager jar file m9000-fm-3.2.0.136.jar from the CD-ROM to a folder on the Solaris
workstation.
Step 4 Launch the installer using the following command:
java -Xms512m-Xmx512m -jar m9000-fm-3.2.0.136.jar
Step 5 Follow the on-screen instructions provided in the Fabric Manager management software setup wizard.
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.
Note You can run CiscoWorks on the same PC as Fabric Manager, even though the Java requirements are
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 vitally important if the default PostgreSQL is used with Fabric Manager, as
this database requires the local console for all installations and upgrades.
To install Fabric Manager on Windows, follow these steps:
Click the Install Management Software link.
Step 1
Step 2 Choose Management Software > Cisco Fabric Manager.
Step 3 Click the Installing Fabric Manager link.
Step 4 Click the FM Installer link.
You see the welcome to the management software setup wizard message in the Cisco Fabric Manager
Installer window shown in
