Cisco Fabric Manager silent installation

Hello,
I'm trying to deploy the Cisco Fabric Manager to a bunch of users and I would like to know if there is a way to automate the installation?
Defaults are fine (also default passwords for the postgreSQL database)
Has anyone done this or is it even possible.
Thanks in Advance

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.

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

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
VINAY

Hi 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.

Does Cisco Fabric/Device Manager 5.0(4d) run under VM?

I'd like to upgrade the OS on our W2k3 to W2K8 64-bit via virtual machine. First, is it possible to run Cisco Fabric and Device Manager under VM 2K8 64-bit? Has there been any issues reported running these tools, on VM?
Thanks

Fabric Manager releases

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.
More details can be found here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ts/fn/633/fn63302.html

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
Gautam

Is 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
Anthony

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.
Thanks

Senthil, 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.

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).

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio Express silent installation very slow

Iam doing silent installations often on several Systems.
I install the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio Express with this command:
"SQLManagementStudio_x64_DEU.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /QUIET /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms="True" /FEATURES=CONN,BC,SSMS /indicateprogress"
The installation will take almost an hour to finish.
I never get error messages or so. The installation afterwards is fine.
Is there a way to speed up the installation process?
Thanks!

Hi Dennis,
When installing SQL Server Management Studio, it is normal for us taking an hour to finish the installation.
Personally, if you want to speed up the installation process, I recommend improve your hardware device on your computer, such as CPU, RAM, hard disk and so on.
Or you can submit an submit the requirement at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/.
If the requirement mentioned by customers for many times, the product team may consider to add or improve this requirement in the future SQL Server version. Thanks for your understanding.
Thanks,

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?

Trouble installing Fabric Manager 5.0.7 on 2008R2

Hello all,
We are about to upgrade our older MDS-9124s to MDS-9148s and I wanted to install the new Fabric Manager. I am trying to install version 5.0.7. I am having a couple issues but am not sure if they are all related. First if I try to select the install links from within start they do not work. The only way I can get the install to start is double clicking the jre file direct. The installation process starts and the dies at what appears to be trying to start postgresql with an error message that initdb cannot be processed because the libpq.dll file cannot be found. If I try to re-run the install it dies becuase the postgre user already exists. I can delete that local account and the installation process will restart only to once again die with the dll error.
Just for grins I ran the postgresql install seperate and it seems to go through a lot more prompts but figured this was not the proper way to get it installed so canceled it. I also tried running the install from the cmd line as I found in another post and it dies at basically the same point but has a net error message 2221. It looks at though this to means that the user created cannot be accessed so postgresql will not start.
I am disabling my virus software while trying all of these items.
Suggestions??/
Brent

@dynamoxxx,
This is a new install and I just completed getting it installed on Friday. I had to actually log onto the server as the local administrator to get it to install. An Admin equivalent account apparently was not good enough. Once I did that it completed just fine. I have come across another apparetly known isse and that is if you exit Fabric Manager and try to go directly back in a box pops up that says Fabric Manager is already running. This is apparently because java never shuts down. You kill the javaws servise and Fabric Manager starts back up without any issue. Of course this also works if you log off the server and back on. This was somthing that I talked with TAC about this morning and since they have quit working on Fabric Manager is not going to be fixed.
That brings me to DCNA. I am moving to Cisco Prime for the rest of my infrastructure and TAC says that DCNA is a part of that or that basically is DCNA. They were telling me that based upon the code level I am running (5.0(1a)) on my switches that Fabric Manager is better. If I was running newer 6.2 or 5.2 code then use the DCNM and apparently 5.2(8) is newer than 6.2. They also recommended me waiting until 5.2(8b) come out before upgrading the switches and then moving to DCNA. I will figure out that step once I get my SAN migration completed in a few weeks. Until then I am planning to keep what I have.
