Upgrading Your Version of Cisco Fabric Manager
As of Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.2(1), Cisco Fabric Manager is no longer packaged with a Cisco MDS 9000
Family switch. It is included on the CD-ROM that ships with the switch. You can install Fabric Manager from
the CD-ROM or from files that you download. For a complete description of the changes in Fabric Manager,
see the “Cisco Fabric Manager Enhancements” section on page 26.
Installing Cisco Fabric Manager is a multi-step process that involves installing a database, as well as Fabric
Manager. The complete installation instructions are provided in the “Installation of Cisco MDS SAN-OS and
Fabric Manager” section in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide, and are
available on-screen once you launch the Fabric Manager installer from the CD-ROM.
