New Features in Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.2(1) Send documentation comments to [email protected] • Cisco Fabric Manager is no longer embedded in the SAN-OS software, which means that Fabric Manager can no longer be installed from a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch. Only the Device Manager can be installed from a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch using Java Web Start. • The relational database that is needed for Fabric Manager is now separate from the Fabric Manager software. • There are two distinct versions of Cisco Fabric Manager: - Fabric Manager Standalone (a single, simplified application) - Fabric Manager Server (multiple client, single-server applications) Cisco Fabric Manager can now be installed from a CD-ROM or from files downloaded from the Cisco web site. To install Fabric Manager Server, you can get the software from the CD-ROM or from a Jar file, and install the PostgresSQL database and the Fabric Manager Server. To install a Fabric Manager Client, you can install the software from the Fabric Manager Server and install the Fabric Manager Client (without a database) and Cisco Device Manger. The installation process has been broken down into a few large steps for added flexibility. A manual workflow is provided on the CD-ROM to guide the end user through installing a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) if one in not present, installing PostgresSQL database or connecting to an existing Oracle instance, and installing the Cisco Fabric Manager framework and application. For general guidelines about the Fabric Manager installation process, see "Upgrading Your Version of Cisco Fabric Manager" section on page 11. For complete Fabric Manager installation instructions, refer to the "Installation of Cisco MDS SAN-OS and Fabric Manager" section in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide, or use the on-screen instructions provided with the CD-ROM.
