See the "MDS 9000 Chassis and Module Support in Cisco MDS NX-OS 4.x" section on page 9. Installation Changes for Cisco Fabric Manager in This Release Starting with Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.1(3a), Fabric Manager is installed in the $INSTALLDIR/dcm/fm directory. $INSTALLDIR is the Fabric Manager installation directory. The default path to the directory is as follows: • /usr/local/cisco on Linux/Solaris systems • C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems on Windows systems The database is installed in $INSTALLDIR/db and JBoss is in $INSTALLDIR/jboss-4.2.2.GA. In addition, starting from NX-OS Release 4.1(3a), when you uninstall Fabric Manager Server, only Fabric Manager is removed. Jboss and the database, either PostgreSQL or Oracle, are not removed because they might be shared with other applications such as Cisco DCNM. Upgrading Your Version of Cisco Fabric Manager As of Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.2(1), Cisco Fabric Manager is no longer packaged with a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch. It is included on the CD-ROM that ships with the switch. You can install Fabric Manager from the CD-ROM or from files that you download. Installing Cisco Fabric Manager is a multi-step process that involves installing a database, as well as Fabric Manager. The complete installation instructions are provided in the "Installation of Cisco MDS NX-OS and Fabric Manager" section in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide, and are available on-screen once you launch the Fabric Manager installer from the CD-ROM.
