Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide
OL-6965-03, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.x
Chapter 36 Management Software Troubleshooting
General
Why am I seeing display anomalies?
If you see Fabric Manager or Device Manager submenus detached from menus, the mouse pointer in
Fabric Manager Map is slow to react to mouse movement, or a wrong tooltip is displayed, these are
display anomalies, not problems with Fabric Manager or Device Manager.
Some older video cards exhibit these display anomalies. To fix this, first try updating the video drivers.
If this doesn't solve the problem, replace the video card.
How do I connect the Fabric Manager client to the server across VPN?
In Fabric Manager Release 2.x or later, Fabric Manager client detects the VPN connection
automatically. In prior releases, you must set up a Java command line option
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<client VPN IP address>..
Why is the active zone set in edit zone always shown in bold (even after
successful activation)?
A member of this VSAN must be participating in IVR zoning. Because the IVR zones get added to active
zones, the active zone set configuration is always different from the local zone set configuration with the
same name. The zone set name is always bold.
Can I create a zone with prefix IVRZ and a zone set with name nozonset?
Do not use these special names. These names are used by the system for identifying IVR zones.
One-click license install fails, cannot connect to Cisco website.
The one-click license install tries to open an HTTP connection to the Cisco website. If you do your
browsing using an HTTP proxy then the following command- line variables need to be added to your
Fabric Manager client scripts:
-Dhttps.proxyHost and -Dhttps.proxyPort.
In case your one-click install URL starts with "http://" (and not "https://"), the variables are:
-Dhttp.proxyHost and -Dhttp.proxyPort.
For example, in Windows, edit the MDS 9000\bin\FabricManager.bat file and add to the JVMARGS
"-Dhttps.proxyHost=HOSTADDRESS -Dhttps.proxyPort=HOSTPORT".
Fabric Manager client and Device Manager cannot connect to the switch
Fabric Manager or Device Manager using SNMPv3 at Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.3(3) or earlier
can't manage a switch running Release 1.3(4) or later. This might affect a software upgrade using Fabric
Manager from Release 1.3(3) to Release 1.3(4).
