System Requirements
• “Related Documentation” section on page 15
• “Technical support” section on page 16
System Requirements
The system requirements are described in these sections:
• “Device Manager System Requirements” section on page 2
• “Cluster Compatibility” section on page 2
Device Manager System Requirements
These sections describes the hardware and software requirements for using the device manager:
• “Hardware Requirements” section on page 2
• “Software Requirements” section on page 2
Hardware Requirements
Table 1 lists the minimum hardware requirements for running the device manager.
Software Requirements
These are the supported operating systems and browsers for the device manager:
• Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows Server 2003.
• Internet Explorer 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, Firefox 1.5, 2.0 or later.
The device manager verifies the browser version when starting a session, and it does not require a
plug-in.
Cluster Compatibility
You cannot create and manage switch clusters through the device manager. To create and manage switch
clusters, use the command-line interface (CLI).
When creating a switch cluster or adding a switch to a cluster, follow these guidelines:
• When you create a switch cluster, we recommend configuring the highest-end switch in your cluster
as the command switch.
• The standby command switch must be the same type as the command switch. For example, if the
command switch is a CGESM switch, all standby command switches must be CGESM switches.
