Installing Fabric Manager
You must install Fabric Manager from the CD-ROM or from Cisco.com.
Note Users installing Fabric Manager must have full administrator privileges to create user accounts and start
services. Users should also have access to all ports. These are the ports used by Fabric Manager Server
and the PostgreSQL database: 1098, 1099, 4444, 4445, 8009, 8083, 8090, 8092, 8093, 514, 5432.
To download the software from Cisco.com, go to the following web site:
http://cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/mds-fm
To install Fabric Manager on Solaris, perform this task:
Step 1 Set Java 1.5 to the path that is to be used for installing Fabric Manager.
Step 2 Install the database that is to be used with Fabric Manager by following the instructions in the “Installing
the Database” section on page 2-7.
Step 3 Copy the Fabric Manager jar file m9000-fm-3.3.0.xx.jar from the CD-ROM to a folder on the Solaris
workstation.
Note The filename on the CD-ROM will contain a number where “xx” is shown in step 3. Use the same
number for “xx” in the java command in step 4.
Step 4 Launch the installer using the following command:
java -Xmx256m -jar m9000-fm-3.3.0.xx.jar
Step 5 Follow the on-screen instructions provided in the Fabric Manager management software setup wizard.
When you connect to the server for the first time, Fabric Manager checks to see if you have the correct
Sun Java Virtual Machine version installed on your workstation. Fabric Manager looks for version 1.5(x)
during installation. If required, install the Sun Java Virtual Machine software.
