Upgrading the Management Software
If you log into a switch running Cisco MDS SAN-OS with Device Manager and that switch has a later
version of the management software, you are prompted to install the later version. To upgrade the Cisco
MDS Fabric Manager software, follow the instructions described in the "Installing the Management
Software" section on page 2-18. You can also upgrade Device Manager at any time by entering the IP
address or host name of the supervisor module with the later version of software in the Address field of
your browser. You will need a new CD to upgrade Fabric Manager.
Note As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x, downgrades are not supported through the installer. To
downgrade Fabric Manager or Device Manager to an earlier release, you need to manually uninstall first
and then reinstall the previous version of Fabric Manager or Device Manager.
