Cisco Fabric Manager 5.0.7
Dear Team!
I have software Cisco Fabric Manager 4.2a (in SAN management server based on Windows Server 2003) Standalone version, which managed our existing fabrics (we have 2) now. In case of OS "Windows 2003 server" going to End of Life/Support, we started prepare new SAN management server based on Windows Server 2008. On this new server I installed new version of software Cisco Fabric Manager 5.0.7 Standalone.
Question: Is it possible to manage by old Cisco Fabric Manager 4.2 our fabrics after discovere our (existing) fabric, from new SAN management server with C.F.M 5.0.7? Or after discovere management function of fabrics will take new server? Can I manage one fabric from two different servers with Cisco Fabric Manager Standalone software (I mean we have production SAN management server with C.F.M. and SAN management server with C.F.M. for DR site)?
Hello,
Thanks for your reply!
I need two servers with FM as temporary, for implementation and test period only. After that, we will decommission old server and use only one. I asked because I never do discovery existing fabrics in FM, and not sure that if after discovery our fabrics from new server I can manage them from old server. In this case I raised this question.
As I understood that I can manage our fabrics from two different servers (with different version of FM), but not at one time. Please can you confirm.
Thanks

Cisco Fabric Manager database stops and refuses to start again
The database process - FMPersist - of Cisco Fabric Manager (3.02a) fails then I can't get it started again.
We're running on a Linux server and I'm attaching the FMPersist.log.Part of our problem has been that the database is not robust enough to handle a large fabric like we have. We upgraded to version 3.12a and split the load across two servers (and database) - test on one and production on another - so the database doesn't shut down any more, but the continuing problem has been that it will stop refreshing data. We bounce the processes once a week to update the fabric information. We are not collecting any performance data.

Difference between Cisco DCNM and CISCO Fabric Manager
Hello Everyone,
I am new to Cisco SAN and just would like to know the differences between cisco DCNM and Cisco Fabric manager and which one is latest as of now.
regards
VINAYHi Viany,
Fabric Manager was renamed DCNM starting at 5.2.
Fabric Manager only monitors SAN Fabrics, while DCNM 5.2 and above can monitor both SAN Fabrics and Ethernet LANs.

Unable to open 2 9509 switches at the same time in Cisco Device Manager
Dear Friends,
There are a pair of MDS 9509 switches whose management addresses are 172.16.2.197 and 172.16.2.198.
When we try to manage these Devices through Cisco device manager, the first device opens up without any problem, but when the second 9509 is opened in Cisco Device Manager, it fails giving the following error message:
"Open udp transport failed: Address already in use: Cannot bind"
To get around this issue, if we close the first interface to the 9509 switch, then we are able to open up the second 9509 in Device Manager.
We have this problem only in Cisco device manager. If we open one switch in Cisco device manager and the other switch in Cisco Fabric Manager, it works.
Also, we can telnet to both the devices successfully at a time.
The device manager in use is 4.1.
Please find enclosed the sh version outputs for your kind reference.
Can you please help me understand the cause of this issue?
Thanks a lot
GautamIs it always the same MDS that fails to open, or can you open either one first, and then the second one poses the problem (no matter which one is second)?
Can you try from a second work station and see if you can open DM to both switched at the same time? I suspect the address it is complaining about is the local workstation IP, not the MDS IP.
If you open the FM map, then you click on the MDS ICONs, can you open DM to both MDS?

Can no longer open Fabric Manager Web Client 4.7(2b)
Hello
I have recently upgraded from Fabric Manager 3.3(2b) to 4.2(7b). I followed the correct path, so went from 3.3 to 4.1 and then from 4.1 to 4.2.
The application opens but I can not browse to the localhost address on either http or https and there are no Cisco related services running, or, even available. Additionally, the server is no longer listenning on port 80 or 443.
Does anyone know of what might be happenning here because at the moment, trying to get to the server from itself, or remotely, just brings up a "page cannot be displayed" error.
Many thanks in advance
Anthony
p.s. I have rebooted since the rebuild.Hi
Yes, the PostgreSQL service has started but there is not even a Cisco Fabric Manager service visible, nor a Fabric Manager Web Client service. I can open Fabric Manager and it works, just no services and I cant open the Web GUI.
Thanks for replying

Hi,
I currently manage 4 Cisco M9509 directors running SAN-OS 3.3(1a). I am managing the fabric using Fabric Manager 5.0.1(a). We intend to upgrade the SAN-OS version to the latest recommended release (possibly a staged upgrade where necessary) once we have discontinued the legacy HBA hardware that was holding us back. We do not use Fabric Manager Server (FMS). In addition, we will shortly be managing the estate using Windows 7 32-bit rather than Windows XP.
1) With this in mind, based on backward manageability what is the most recent releases of Fabric Manager that I should be using currently and what should I be using once we go to the most recent SAN-OS available for the m9509 directors?.
2) Should I be using Data Center Network Manager instead of Fabric Manager once I'm on the latest SAN-OS or should this only be used to replace larger installations that currently use Cisco FMS?.
The Cisco website states the following:
Note This Important Change
As of NX-OS 5.2, Cisco Fabric Manager and FMS will be known as Cisco Data Center Network Manager for SAN
Many thanks for any advice.Hello Blue Yonder,
Since the switches are new it might be that they are shipping with new OUIs which certain versions of FabricManager don't recognize. A simple upgrade of FM will fix this issue.

Cisco MDS 9513/9509 LDAP/AD Auth via SSH & Fabric Manager
Hello Folks,
I am trying to look for working config with LDAP auth over SSH. I know how to use them over TACACS+ & Radius. But due to other internal issue, currently I am trying to get the Cisco MDS to directly auth using LDAP/AD. Also, I see no option of LDAP/AD in FM(Fabric Manager), but just TACACS+, Radius, LocalFM and MDS. Do using MDS uses default auth(ie whatever AAA authentication is configured for ? or local DB on the switch). Does the new DCNM supports LDAP/AD auth on the GUI ?
Larger goal is SSH(CLI) & FM(GUI) using the same LDAP/AD auth. I understand the snmp-server user issue. But once I have SSH working over LDAP/AD I can figure that out to..
Here's what I need to ensure when using LDAP/AD auth
1) What is the exact config for this LDAP/AD auth
2) How do I ensure that network-admin & network-opertor roles are assigned when certain AD Groups Logins in Like ADMIN-AD-GROUP , OPERATOR-AD-GROUP --> trying to login to the switch
3) Also using SSL port for LDAP, do details are encrypted over the network.
4) Do I need to use the PASSWORD in paintext when BINDING the BaseDN ?, can it be an encrypted password.
Appreciate any info on this. Thanks for your time.As of DCNM 6.1 (aka - Fabric Manager Server) we support LDAP authentication adding to existing Radius, TACACS+, local and switch authentications. You can upgrade from Fabric Manager 5.0 to DCNM 5.2 to DCNM 6.1 if you like to keep current performance, events, config data alive. We do recommend fresh install as we don't know what state your server dabatabase might be in. Including some links for you to help out with deployment and best practices (see release notes).

Windows 7 64-bit Cisco Fabric/Device Manager Installer
Does anyone know if there is Cisco Device Manager Installer compatible with Windows 7 (64-bit)? I'm trying to install Device Manager onto my Windows 7 PC. this may happen on my Fabricv Manager Installer, as well. Any help would be appreciated.
ThanksSenthil, Horacio,
I would not recommend using a 8.5(x) client against a 8.0(x) server (the OP suggests UCCE 8.0 is used). Even though they _should_ be compatible, they usually are not.
Upgrading the server side to 8.5 is the way to go IMHO.

Monitoring Cisco UCS Manager via HP System Information Manager 7.1 (SIM)
I am working with a customer to configure HP System Information Manager 7.1 (SIM) to monitor their Cisco UCS Manager.
The customer is looking to monitor the following:
- CPU Utilization on manager, blades, servers, etc...
- Memory utilization
- Network utilization
- System inventory
Alerting is needed for the following:
- Hardware failures: memory, power supply, drive, etc...
- Predictive failures
- Alert messages
I have the list of all the MIBs provided by Cisco but an having the following issues while loading them into HP SIM.
While loading MIB "CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-TC-MIB" I get the following error message:
Line 128: Error defining object: expected a label, found reserved symbol {
Line in MIB: SYNTAX Gauge32 {
Guage32 is imported from SNMPv2-SMI MIB
To get past this error I found a version of the MIB that removes all the textual conventions that where causing errors. I have attached the fixed MIB file to this discussion. With the fixed version of the MIB installed in SIM everything compiles and installs except the following two MIBS. CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-NOTIFS-MIBCISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-CONFORM-MIB Questions:
1. Is there any way to get the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-TC-MIB MIB to install correctly into HP SIM?
2. Is my MIB load order setup correctly?
3. Has anyone had success getting HP SIM to monitor and alert for Cisco UCS manager?

Changing Fabric name in Fabric Manager
How do you change the name of the Fabric in the Logical Domains section of Fabric Manager?
This is also something I'd be interested in seeing. I've got one fabric named correctly, the other after a switch dump took the name of a middle tier 9216i and won't switch back, despite the fact that I changed the principal priority on the 9509 to 1 and then made it the principal with a disruptive(nondisruptive didn't work either).
Cisco documentation is woefully inadequate in certain areas....Also, the error of fabric merge failed, "member mismatch" comes to mind. -
Fabric Manager not starting.
Fabric Manager use to work but stop working for no reason. we are currently on 2.1(b). Did the norm uninstalled/reinstalled, deleted the Cisco directory (Windows XP), Device Manager works fine. Doesn't work on the Fabric Manager server either or other workstations!
This sounds like a Security issue with Java and what is on your systems. Check with your IT Security group

Fabric Manager not on switches.
Greetings,
I just took delivery of some 9216A's and found that Fabric Manager is not on them anymore. Device Manager is but for how long?? I have to download FM or get it for the non existant CD's. When did that start? Being a typical Cisco end user means I never get a login to download software as my vendor is supposed to look after me. It was much easier when it was on the switch. Perhaps not everyone works in sites with easy access to the internet...
StephenThanks for the reply. Now I am keen to work out why it is so big. I hope it not just bloated for the sake of it.
