Installation Changes for Cisco Fabric Manager in This Release
If you plan to make use of the new Fabric Manager Server federation feature, which is described in the "Fabric Manager Server Federation" section, then you need to follow a slightly different installation procedure for Cisco Fabric Manager. See the "Installation of Cisco MDS NX-OS and Fabric Manager" section in the Cisco Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide for details.
If you do not plan to install a federation of servers, then the installation procedure is unchanged from Cisco Fabric Manager Release 4.13(b).
Upgrading Your Version of Cisco Fabric Manager
Cisco Fabric Manager 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.
Installing Cisco Fabric Manager is a multistep process that involves installing a database, as well as Fabric Manager. The complete installation instructions are provided in the "Installation of Cisco MDS NX-OS and Fabric Manager" section in the Cisco Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide, and are available on-screen once you launch the Fabric Manager installer from the CD-ROM.
Note
Fabric Manager Server cannot be installed on an Active Directory Server when using PostgreSQL. Fabric Manager servers are domain controllers and cannot create local PostgreSQL user accounts.

Fabric Manager Installation Process Overview
The following section presents the flow of the installation process at a high level. Review these steps before you begin the installation process:
1.
2.
If you are upgrading Cisco Fabric Manager in Cisco SAN-OS Releases 3.1(2b) and later, be aware that data is migrated from the Hypersonic HSQL database to either the PostgreSQL database or Oracle Database 10g Express during the installation. Data is also migrated from Oracle Database 10g Express to Oracle Database 10g Express. If you migrate the database from Oracle to Oracle, the schema is updated. Refer to Table 3 for information on the supported upgrade path.
3.
If you are upgrading Fabric Manager in a Cisco SAN-OS Release prior to 3.1(2b), be aware that data is migrated from the Hypersonic HSQL database to either the PostgreSQL database or the Oracle Database 10g Express during the installation. The Fabric Manager Installer installs the PostgreSQL database on Windows. If you want to install the PostgreSQL database on Solaris or Linux, or if you want to install the Oracle Database 10g Express database, follow the instructions in the "Installing Fabric Manager" section in the Cisco Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
4.
5.
If you want to use the Oracle Database 10g Express, you must install the database and create a user name and password before continuing with the Fabric Manager installation. We recommend the Oracle Database 10g Express option for all users who are running Performance Manager on large fabrics (1000 or more end devices).
If you want to install the PostgreSQL database, you must disable any security software you are running as PostgreSQL may not install certain folders or users. You must also log in as a Superuser before you start the installation.
6.
Installing Fabric Manager on Solaris
This section describes how to install Fabric Manager on Solaris.
To install Fabric Manager on Solaris, follow these steps:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
java -Xms512m -Xmx512m -jar m9000-fm-4.2.1.jar
Step 5
Installing Fabric Manager on Windows
This section describes how to install Fabric Manager on Windows.
Note
Note
On a Windows system, the Microsoft Active Directory applies a Group Policy Object (GPO) to the Fabric Manager Server. The GPO does not recognize the local user PostgreSQL because it is not in the GPO allow list. As a result, the GPO removes it, and the PostgreSQL database stops working.
To avoid this situation, you should move the Fabric Manager Server to its own OU and apply the same feature settings as the original OU, but remove the local user account to log in as a service.
If your server is running Terminal Services in Application mode, or if you are running Citrix Metaframe or any other variation, you need to enter the following command at the DOS prompt before installing Fabric Manager Server:
Step 1
Step 2
Note
The following is an example of the output of this command:
C:\Documents and Settings\user.domain>USER /INSTALL
User session is ready to install applications.Step 3
Step 4
The following is an example of the output of this command:

Cisco Fabric Manager Feature Descriptions
This section includes descriptions of the major new features of MDS Fabric Manager Release 4.2(1) and indicates where the feature is documented.
Fabric Manager Server Federation
The Fabric Manager Server federation feature improves management availability and scalability by load balancing fabric discovery, performance monitoring, and event handling processes. Fabric Manager provides a single management pane to view and manage all fabrics within a single federation. A storage administrator can discover and move fabrics within a federation for the purpose of load balancing, high availability, or disaster recovery. In addition, users can connect to any Fabric Manager Server and view all report, inventory, statistics, or logs from a single web browser.
The Fabric Manager Server federation includes these features:
•
•
•
The Fabric Manager Server federation feature requires the Fabric Manager Server License.
Where Documented
For information about the Fabric Manager Server federation feature, see the Cisco Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Data Center Switch Discovery Through CDP
Cisco Fabric Manager now supports discovery of all Cisco Nexus family switches, Catalyst 4500 Series switches, and Catalyst 6500 Series switches through the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). CDP is a device discovery protocol that runs on all Cisco manufactured equipment, including MDS 9000 Family switches, Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches, Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches, and Catalyst switches. This feature can provide increased control and visibility of all data center devices by making it easier to plan, configure, and manage unified fabric deployments.
Switch discovery through CDP has the following attributes:
•
•
•
Where Documented
For information about the switch discovery through CDP feature, see the Cisco Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Fabric Manager Host Provisioning Wizard
The Cisco Fabric Manager Host Provisioning Wizard provides the ability to set up communication between the existing host and storage devices by using a single management tool. The wizard is designed to provide the requisite utilities to perform seamless migrations.
The wizard allows the administrator to quickly commission and decommission hosts and do the following activities:
•
•
•
•
Where Documented
For information about the Fabric Manager Host Provisioning Wizard, see the Cisco Fabric Manager Fabric Configuration Guide.
Fabric Manager Client Launch Pad
Fabric Manager provides an ability to view the network data and topology through its client application. To load the client, users can log into the server's web interface and start the client from a hyperlink. In an environment where there are multiple Fabric Managers of nonidentical versions managing different parts of the network, users would have to go through the web interfaces of these servers independently to get to their corresponding client because Fabric Manager clients of a particular release may not necessarily be compatible with servers of another release.
The Fabric Manager launch pad, which is new in Fabric Manager Release 4.2(1a), introduces a way to circumvent compatibility matching of Fabric Manager Client and Server releases. The process is simplified by taking the server's web URL and starting the client directly through the Java Webstart process. Users no longer need to go through the web interface to load the client. Users will also no longer encounter interoperability issues running multiple versions of Fabric Manager in their network. The launch pad can connect to any Fabric Manager server that is running Fabric Manager Release 3.3(x) or later, through the HTTP protocol and can directly start the server's corresponding client. The launch pad helps users avoid the server's web interface and the client/server interoperability issue.
To load the launch pad, users need to log into the Fabric Manager Web Server to retrieve the launch pad. Once retrieved, subsequent retrieval of the launch pad is unnecessary because a shortcut of the launch pad will be placed on the user's desktop.
The launch pad does not archive Fabric Manager code; it simply facilitates the load of Fabric Manager with the JVM. The launch pad is not aware of the host machine's disk space or memory requirements to launch Fabric Manager. Users should understand that loading the client consumes disk space and increases the memory requirement footprint. The Fabric Manager launch pad can load Fabric Manager clients of version 3.3(x) or later releases.
Where Documented
For information about the Fabric Manager launch pad, see the Cisco Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Performance Statistics in the Fabric Manager Web Client
In Fabric Manager Release 4.2(1a), you can access performance charts for a topology map or a selected table. You can switch to and from a real-time view of performance statistics.
Where Documented
For information about performance statistics in Fabric Manager, see the Cisco Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Fabric Manager Software Install Wizard
The Fabric Manager software install wizard that is available in Fabric Manager Release 4.2(1a), provides data caching for repeated use. The wizard can cache the common information input by a particular user, including server location, file transfer protocol, username, and switch image information.
This feature also includes a management domain-based switch list. Rather than listing all the switches in a fabric, this feature enforces domain filtering by listing only those switches contained in a selected management domain. This feature automates the software upgrade process for those switches, and allows a user to save the input data and reuse it for the next software upgrade.
In addition, a new Parallel Version Check/Install checkbox has been added to provide a mechanism for a parallel version check, with or without software installation for all selected switches.
Where Documented
For information about the Fabric Manager software install wizard, see the Cisco Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Fabric Manager Platform Changes

Cisco Storage Media Encryption
The following limitations are described for Cisco SME:
•
•
Cisco SME Configuration Limits
Table 6 lists the Cisco SME configuration limits for this release.
Deleting Cisco SME Interfaces
A Cisco SME interface can be deleted from the cluster only after the interface is administratively shut down and all related tasks associated with the interface shutdown are complete.
Emulex Driver Version
In some instances, the Emulex driver version 8.1.10.9 may set the task attribute to HEAD_OF_QUEUE instead of SIMPLE_QUEUE. Certain tape drives do not accept this attribute and may reject these commands. The Emulex driver version 8.1.10.12 does not have this issue.
Compatibility of Fabric Manager and Data Mobility Manager
Cisco Fabric Manager in any MDS NX-OS 4.x release does not support Data Mobility Manager (DMM) in any SAN-OS 3.3(x) release or in any 3.2(x) release. To use the Cisco Fabric Manager GUI for DMM, both Fabric Manager and DMM must be running NX-OS or SAN-OS software from the same release series.
Using Fabric Manager for an In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU)
If you are using Fabric Manager to perform an ISSU to NX-OS Release 4.2(1a) from any release prior to NX-OS Release 4.1(1a), the upgrade might fail. To work around this issue, perform the upgrade from the command-line interface using the install all command. DDTS CSCta94252, which is a duplicate of CSCsu68898, captures the details of this issue.
ISSU downgrades are not impacted.
Limitations for the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches
This section lists the Cisco Fabric Manager limitations related to managing Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches.
Ethernet Configuration
You cannot configure physical Ethernet interfaces using Fabric Manager or Device Manager. You must configure physical Ethernet interfaces using CLI commands.
SPAN
You cannot use Device Manager to configure Ethernet or virtual Ethernet interfaces as SPAN source ports or to configure Ethernet interfaces as destination ports. The workaround is to configure SPAN using CLI commands.
Zoning
In the Edit Local Full Zone Database tool, virtual Fibre Channel interfaces must be specified using the Switch Port WWN method of adding members to a zone. In the Add Members to Zone dialog box, the Switch & Port method and the Domain & Port method are not supported for virtual Fibre Channel interfaces.
Caveats
This section lists the open and resolved caveats for this release. Use Table 7 to determine the status of a particular caveat. In the table, "O" indicates an open caveat and "R" indicates a resolved caveat.
Open Caveats
•
Symptom: Fabric Manager takes 2 to 3 minutes to bring up the DMM job creation wizard in a setup with 25 switches, 400 enclosures, and 2400 entries in the name server.
Workaround: None.
•
Symptom: When replaying DMM job configurations saved as an ASCII text file (after performing a write erase), the DMM job includes discrepancies. These discrepancies occur due to the interface and zone configurations that are in an area below the DMM job configuration in the ASCII text file. The configurations stored in the ASCII text file are replayed sequentially from top to bottom.
Workaround: None.
•
Symptom: When you install Cisco Fabric Manager on a Solaris host, an invalid JAR filename is generated, which causes the Java command to fail as follows:
java -Xms512m -Xmx512m -jar "4_2_1a_S15/tmp/software/m9000-fm-4.2.1.jar"Unable to access jarfile 4_2_1a_S15/tmp/software/m9000-fm-4.2.1.jarThe HTML file lists the command incorrectly with m9000-fm-4.2.1.jar as the JAR filename. The correct filename should be m9000-fm-4.2.1a.jar.
Workaround: Run the command using m9000-fm-4.2.1a.jar as the filename instead of m9000-fm-4.2.1.jar, as in the following example:
