Installation Procedure
For switches running Cisco MDS 9000 FabricWare, you need to install the Fabric Manager software
from the CD-ROM included with your switch, or download Fabric Manager from Cisco.com.
To install Fabric Manager from the CD-ROM, navigate to the Fabric Manager installation notes and
follow the directions.
To download the software from from Cisco.com, go to the following website:
http://cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/mds-fm
To install Fabric Manager on your workstation, follow these steps:
Step 1 Optionally, enter the IP address or host name of the supervisor module running Cisco MDS SAN-OS in
the Address or Location field of your browser.
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 not, a link is provided to the appropriate Sun
Microsystems web page so you can install it. Fabric Manager looks for version 1.4(x) during installation.
The supervisor module HTTP server displays the installation window.
Step 2 Click the link to the Sun Java Virtual Machine software (if required) and install the software.
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 In some cases, license validation from Cisco partners requires Java version 1.4.2_04 or later. If
you cannot install licenses from a Cisco partner, check to make sure your Java version is at least
1.4.2_04.
