To install patches on Solaris
1. Search for any required patches for your current version of the JRE at the following Web site:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patchpage
2. Follow the link to download the patch, and exit the browser when done.
3. Install the patch and reboot the system.
To install the Java Plug-in on Windows
1. Click Start Menu>Settings>Control Panel and select the Java Plug-in Control Panel.
2. Click the About tab.
3. Determine whether the correct Java Plug-in version is installed:
• If the correct version is installed, Web Tools is ready to use.
• If no Java Plug-in is installed, point the browser toward a switch running Fabric OS v4.x,
follow the link to the Sun Microsystems Web site, download the correct Java Plug-in, and
double-click the downloaded file to install the plug-in.
• If an outdated version is currently installed, uninstall it, relaunch the browser, and enter the
address of a switch running Fabric OS v4.4.0 or later. Web Tools will guide you through the
steps to download the proper Java Plug-in.
Installing a Web Tools License
You can install a Web Tools license either through telnet or over the Web.
All licenses, including Web Tools licenses, are installed on a chassis basis. For example, if you install a
Web Tools license on logical switch 0 in a SilkWorm 12000 director, you do not need to install an
additional Web Tools license on logical switch 1 of that SilkWorm 12000 director, because both are in
the same chassis.
To determine whether a license is already installed on a switch, follow the instructions provided under
“Installing a Web Tools License Through Telnet,” next. If a license is not installed, contact your switch
supplier to obtain a license key.
Installing a Web Tools License Through Telnet
Use the following procedure to determine whether a Web Tools license is installed on your switch and,
if not, install it.
To install a Web Tools license through telnet
1. Log in to the switch via telnet (refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for more information),
using an account that has administrative privileges.
2. To determine whether a Web Tools license is already installed on the switch, type licenseShow on
the telnet command line.
