Chapter 2 Installing Cisco Fabric Manager
Installing the Management Software
Minimum Hardware Requirements
For a PC running Fabric Manager Server on large fabrics (1000 or more end devices), we recommend
you use a Dual Core/Dual CPU high-speed system with 2 GB of RAM and 10 GB of free disk space.
Installing the Database
Fabric Manager requires an Oracle Database 10g Express or PostgreSQL database.
The Fabric Manager installation wizard provides an option to automatically install a PostgreSQL
database. If you will not be selecting this option, you must install the database before you install Fabric
Manager.
Note We recommend the Oracle Database 10g Express option for all users who are running Performance
Manager on large fabrics (1000 or more end devices).
Installing Oracle
Note If you want to use Oracle Database 10g Express, you must install the database and create a user name
and password before continuing with the Fabric Manager installation.
To install the Oracle database, perform this task:
Step 1 Go to the following location to install Oracle Database 10g Express:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/index.html
Note If you have another instance of Oracle already installed on a PC, we recommend that you do not
install the Oracle database on the same PC. In such cases, Fabric Manager can only use the
PostgreSQL database.
Step 2 Run OracleXE.exe to install the Oracle database, and then set the password for the system user.
The database administrator uses the password to manage and administer Oracle Database 10g Express
server, which is installed by the Oracle installer.
Step 3 Finish the installation and verify that both services (OracleServiceXE and OracleXETNSListener) are
running from the Services window.
Step 4 Run the following script to change the default Oracle admin port and to create a database account:
C:\> cd c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\bin
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\bin>sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> exec dbms_xdb.sethttpport(8082);
SQL> GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE,UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO SCOTT IDENTIFIED BY
TIGER;
SQL> EXIT;
