To correct this problem, both sides of the connection must have their speed hard coded to 2-Gbps. Fabric Manager Observe the following limitations or restrictions for the Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.1(3a) for Fabric Manager: • You must download and install the Oracle Express database separately because Cisco Fabric Manager does not automatically install it. However, if you have Oracle installed on a PC, you should not install the Oracle Express database on the same PC because the installation will fail. In this instance, Fabric Manager must use the Hypersonic SQL database. • By default, the database and aaa passwords are stored in plain text. You can encrypt them by using the encrypter.bat/.sh script and pasting the output into the appropriate file, either server.properties or aaa.properties. • The Microsoft Security Patch MS06-040 is known to break applications with a large heap memory. If you increase any Java application's heap (including Fabric Manager) beyond 64 M, we recommend you do not apply this patch. • If port 80 on the switch is blocked and you are using VPN, FM cannot detect NAT addresses. The timeout for URL connections is set for 500ms. OL-12208-06 Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.1(3a) 25

Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.1(3a)
OL-12208-06
Limitations and Restrictions
CWDM SFPs
The 2-Gbps CWDM SFPs do not have have a maximum speed set in memory and they negotiate to
4-Gbps on modules that support the higher speed.
As a result, the link comes up and appears to work,
but then becomes disabled and connectivity problems occur. To correct this problem, both sides of the
connection must have their speed hard coded to 2-Gbps.
Fabric Manager
Observe the following limitations or restrictions for the Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.1(3a) for Fabric
Manager:
You must download and install the Oracle Express database separately because Cisco Fabric
Manager does not automatically install it. However, if you have Oracle installed on a PC, you should
not install the Oracle Express database on the same PC because the installation will fail. In this
instance, Fabric Manager must use the Hypersonic SQL database.
By default, the database and aaa passwords are stored in plain text. You can encrypt them by using
the encrypter.bat/.sh script and pasting the output into the appropriate file, either server.properties
or aaa.properties.
The Microsoft Security Patch MS06-040 is known to break applications with a large heap memory.
If you increase any Java application's heap (including Fabric Manager) beyond 64 M, we
recommend you do not apply this patch.
If port 80 on the switch is blocked and you are using VPN, FM cannot detect NAT addresses. The
timeout for URL connections is set for 500ms.
