Optionally, enter the IP address or host name of the supervisor module running Cisco MDS SAN-OS in
Step 1
the Location or Address field of your browser. You see the installation page displayed by the HTTP
server of the supervisor module.
When you connect to the server for the first time, it checks to see if you have the correct Sun Java Virtual
Machine version installed on your workstation. If you do not have the correct version installed, a link is
provided to the appropriate web page on the Sun Microsystems website so you can install it.
a. Click the Sun Java Virtual Machine software link (if required) to install the software.
b. Using the instructions provided by the Sun Microsystems website, reconnect to the supervisor
module by reentering the IP address or host name in the Location or Address field of your browser.
Note
Click the Fabric Manager Web Server installation link. You see a prompt asking for permission to
Step 2
install the application on your workstation.
Click Yes to run the installer, which detects the installed version of the software, and prompts for
Step 3
upgrades or downgrades and other options if applicable.
Note
Unless you specify a different directory on a Windows PC, the software is installed in the default location
of C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\MDS 9000. A Cisco MDS 9000 program group is created under
Start > Programs. This program group contains shortcuts to Fabric Manager and Device manager.
On a UNIX (Solaris or Linux) machine, the installation path is /usr/local/cisco_mds9000. If this directory
is not writable by the user, which is the case for non-root users, the default is set to $HOME/cisco_mds9000.
Shell scripts are created in the bin directory.
Note On a Windows PC, you install Fabric Manager Web Server as a service. This service can then be
administered using the Services Panel from the Windows Control Panel. By default, Fabric Manager
Web Server automatically starts when the workstation is rebooted. You can change this behavior by
modifying the properties in the Services Panel.
Caution In releases earlier than Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.1(2b), you must restart Fabric Manager Web Server if
you restart Cisco MDS Database Server from the Services window.
Note You need to configure the Fabric Manager Server on the DNS server for remote logins unless the Fabric
Manager Server is binding to a specific interface.

We recommend Java version 1.5(x). To use IPv6 addresses, you must have Java version 1.5. To
change the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version, start Java Web Start and set the Java
preferences.
If TCP port 80 is in use, Fabric Manager Web Server checks port 8080 next. If that port is also
in use, Fabric Manager Web Server uses the next available port. You can set the TCP port that
you want Fabric Manager Web Server to use during the installation process.
