Copying an Installation from Server to Server
This section provides information on how to copy a Fabric Manager server installation from one server
to another (keeping the same version).
If you are using an external FTP (located on the Fabric Manager server), you must copy the firmware
files. For more information, see “Accessing Firmware When Changing the FTP Server” on page 14-18.
Before you start the copy, ensure that the following conditions exist:
• Host1 and Host2 are running the same type of operating system.
• Host2 will be running the same version of Fabric Manager that was running on Host1.
• Host2 will have same Fabric Manager license as on Host1.
• Fabric Manager installation on Host2 will be in the same drive and directory as Host1 (for example,
C:\FabricManager).
• If an external executable is used in a call home configuration on Host1, then it will be located on
the same drive and directory on Host2.
