Fabric Manager - do I need to install server component?

Hi,
I would like to know if I need to install the server component of Fabric Manager, or if I can just use the client component to manage the switches directly.
I have 2 MDS 9120 switches which will be run as 2 separate fabrics. They will be used in a non-production environment and I will need to configure VSAN and zoning using pWWN. If I do need to install the server part, what is the benefit of using the licenced version over the unlicenced?
Thanks, Darren.

Darren,
The choice to install and licence the server component would be to manage your entire SAN fabric as a holistic centralized topology versus using the client which pretty much only allows you to view the fabrics individually within Fabric Manager.
For a small non-production environment like yours you will be fine, but if you find yourself in a situation where your fabric is becoming a larger Production enironment then I would recommend moving to the licenced server version.
regards
Alan

    If you then uninstall AppFabric 1.1, everything starts working again.  I need Powershell 4 with AppFabric 1.1.  Any ideas?
    I wonder if the below breaking change in Powershell 4 is causing the issue:
    In Windows PowerShell 4.0, if a module uses the DefaultCommandPrefix key in its manifest, or if the user imports a module with the Prefix parameter, the ExportedCommands property of the module shows the commands in the module with the prefix. When you run
    the commands by using the module-qualified syntax ModuleName\CommandName, the command names must include the prefix.

    We didn't have this issue with Powershell 4.0, but with Server 2008 R2 SP1 and AppFabric 1.1. The solution for us was to install the
    Upgrade Readiness Tool. No problems with Inetmgr and Clr20R3 after the hotfix was applied. 

  • Newbie need help installing server

    Hi Guys
    After a few years of working with Windows based servers and PC’s we have decided to introduce macs into the workplace. They are quite happily working on the windows network at the moment with little problems. But we want to have the macs on a separate network that is purely mac based, so we bought a mac mini server with snow leopard server I’ve been playing around and I’ve cracked DNS, DHCP and firewall. But my main problem is configuring the server to accept email and send email. Does anyone have any suggestions where to start and what i should be looking at, or if there are any good videos or guides about?
    Cheers
    Paul

    Kinda of sorted the problem now but i will post new issue in mail section
    Cheers

  • Fabric Manager MDS 9200 Series.

    How do you activate 120 Days eval on MDS 9200 series for Fabric Manager. Do I need to install a license?

    Fabric Manager does not need a license. What does need a license is Fabric Manager Server. This is a dedicated machine that sits between the client machine, and the MDS fabric. It lets you open and manage multiple fabrics at one time. It also us used for detailed performance statics collection.
    If you want to know the status of the current licenses on the MDS, issue this command from the command line interface.
    show license usage
    This will show if the FMS license has been triggered into the 120 day trial period. As far as I know, the only way to trigger it is to setup the MDS for statistics collection using the 'Performance Manager' of Fabric Manager.
    Hope this helps,
    Mike

  • Server Install: "Can't install Server Essentials"

    We just purchased a brand new Mac Pro to use as a server, however the Server app refuses to install. The app was purchased directly from the app store, and when I run the installer I get the error "Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
    I read in another thread that this was solved by creating a new network location and removing the old one. This solution did not work for me. I've tried connecting via both wifi and ethernet and neither solved it (there is also no firewall, so the domain isnt blocked or anything- the app store and software update both seem to work fine).
    I also read that you need to install server on 10.7.0 or it won't work. Well, that is completely unnacceptable since the Mac Pro came with 10.7.3 preinstalled, and the recovery partition will only install the most recent version. The direct links to the ServerEssentials.pkg are also dead, so that solution is out. Any ideas?

    Same problem. Just redeemed my Apple Developer code. I'd also like access to the actual .DMG or .PKG files for the install but it seems that the AppStore revoked that capability and the old methods to access those files no longer work. Come on guys...

  • Need to install NW 7.0 BW component with EHP1

    Dear All,
       We are in need to install BW component 7.0 with EHP1 SR1 and we are using the installation master "51036888_13".
    I can able to see 1. SAP process integration
                               2. SAP Mobile Infrastructure
                               3. SAP application server ABAP
                               4.SAP application server Java
                               But not seperately for BW.
    In 7.0 we have the option to chose the usage types during the installation steps. But in 7.0 with EHP1 SR1, what the right way to install to BW component. Please help us
    Regards
    Raj

    Hi,
    You will not find BW seperately, You have to proceed with the option 3. SAP application server ABAP.
    SAP_BW is the base component of the SAP ABAP system, Later you have to install the BI content.

  • What is the windows server 2013 license version than I need to install workflow manager 1.0

    what is the windows server 2013 license version than I need to install workflow manager 1.0?
    enterprise or standard? can I install it on datacenter?
    please provide me with the reference.
    thanks

    Workflow Manager will work with either SharePoint Enterprise or Standard.  It doesn't work well with Foundations since it depends on User Profiles to pass user identity to the workflow.  And yes you can install it on Windows Server datacenter edition.
     Here are the supported platforms for installation
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193487(v=azure.10).aspx
    This article talks about integration with SharePoint and states that Foundation is not supported, but it doesn't differentiate between the Server editions, so any edition will do.

  • Fabric manager Server discovery issue

    Hi,
    I installed Fabric manager server and trying to discover a fabric.
    after entering the user and password for the SNMP v3 I am getting SNMP timeout.
    the user is configured on the switch and "snmp-server host" was created for the fabric manager server
    in order to receive traps (using port 1163).
    in the snmp-log i am getting an error about a timeout but no other information besides:
    no SNMP/TCP support.
    (I am attaching the log...)
    does anyone knows what can I do?
    Thanks!

    Looked at your log.  you may have firewall in between.  There are many connections timeout using TCP/UDP. Talk to you network team. snmpv2/v3 need to be allowed.

  • I need to install the SOLMAN, in my landscape or another server ??

    Hi experts,
    My landscape is the typical landscape; Production Server, Test Server and development Server.
    I need to install the SAP Solution Manager; This installation would have to do it in some of my existing servers (Production, Test or Development) or it would have to do it in another one?
    Thank's
    Douglas V.

    Hi Douglas,
    Before deciding where to install Solman also take into account below checks -
    1] Incase you will be using Solman diagnostics+Wily introscope functionality of solman, I would certainly recommend to install solman on a separate host as these tools hog lot of memory resources.
    2] For basic use of solman - EWA, install keys generation, ccms...you can think of installing on existing box - but still it should be strong in configuration. As SAP is adding lots of features in EHP packs and sooner or later you will need to use those.
    My 2 cents. (rewards points if useful)
    Thanks

  • Need to install Canon Network Printer drivers on server...?

    I am about to add a Canon PIXMA iP5200R network printer to my intranet via its Ethernet connection. I have configured and tested printing sucessfully from my PowerBook G4 directly to the printer via my intranet after installing the necessary drivers and software from Canon.
    Now I will like to use Mac OS X Server running on my Xserve G5 to manage the printer, and I do have some questions pertaining to this:
    First question: since I don't think Canon supplies any PPD file for most of its printers, do I need to install the iP5200R drivers and Canon IJ Network Utility on the Xserve?
    Second question: is there a Command Line Interface for Printer Setup Utility, or their relevant commands in CUPS, or do I need to use ARD to get the GUI of Printer Setup Utility on my Xserve?
    Third question: after using the GUI or CLI of Printer Setup Utility to setup the printer on the server side, will this appear in WGM when I bring up the window to add a new Print Queue in Print service?
    Fourth question: according to the Apple Print Service Documentation, if I share the Print Queue via IPP (I will only be turning this protocol on) and I have installed the Canon drivers and software on all the Mac (client) computers on the intranet, then I can use specific features of the Canon printer (such as direct CD/DVD Labeling), assuming if the Mac computers select this Print Queue via their Printer Setup Utility?
    Fifth question: this Canon iP5200R printer has the ability to allow only certain computers to send print jobs to the printer via a table of either MAC ID or IP addresses, so if I enable this feature on the printer and limit to print jobs coming from the server only, I should be able to prevent user from bypassing the server to print, assuming I am also locking down the selection of printers in Print Setup using WGM?
    Thank you for reading.

  • Do I need to install user licenses to RDP to the server?

    I have a 2003 terminal server running an app that is accessed by only a handful of users. Users remote desktop into the server to use this app. The app is licensed for the handful of users.
    The app needs to update to the latest version and does not support server 2003. I have a server 2008 r2 (virtualized on hyper-v 2012 r2 server) with the RD session host role installed.
    Before installing the RD licensing role, I checked the 2003 term. server license configuration and there's non. So, it looks like licensing per user or device has not been setup. My question is, do I need to setup licensing for this scenario?
    Please let me know if you have any questions.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hi Alex,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Based on your description, you have updated your server from 2003 to 2008 R2 and now need to take remote access for that server by users for running application.
    Yes, you need to setup licensing for your scenario. Server 2003 license\CAL will not work with server 2008 r2 but vice versa is possible. So you need to install RD License server 2008 R2, activate the license server, upgrade\purchase the RDS CAL (Per User or
    Per Device) and then configure that CAL to use by the users. You can directly contact MS Clearing house with all your license document, explain them whole scenario and they will help for your situation.
    Please refer following article for more detailed information.
