No runining Fabric Manager on th MS Vista Ent. 32bit

Hello,
I cann't use FM on the Vista. The problem is:
"Connect: connect: Address is invalid on local machine, or port is not valid on remote machine"
Anybody use FM on the Vista ? if YES running OK ?
Is supported FM for Vista ?
Anybody idea ?
Thanks

Perhaps you could expand a bit on what your problem is. Eg:
"Connect: connect: Address is invalid on local machine, or port is not valid on remote machine"
Where are you seeing that? Is it the PC when you try to run FM? Does FM start but it can't see the switch? I had all sorts of issues with the firewall (Windows Live One Care) as it rates as completely stupid in my opinion. Unless it has changed in the last month or so, you cant open ports on an individual basis. You will have to let it connect to your switch with all ports.
Any easy way to test if the firewall is the problem, try to ping or telnet to the supervisor port.
Does your PC have java?
Cheers
Stephen

  • 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

  • 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

    I haven't heard of this issue before. Have you tried running FM on another host or upgrading FM to see if it goes away?
    Thank you.

  • Hyper-V Fabric and Fabric Management Cluster

    Dear All...........Would appreciate understanding of following:
    What is the difference between Fabric Cluster and Fabric Management Cluster?
    What virtual machines should be part of Fabric Cluster and Fabric Management Cluster respectively?
    Thanks in advance.

    It would be helpful if you provided a source from which you pulled those terms.  They could mean just about anything without any context.
    But I will take a stab at it based upon work I do with the Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track program.  In this reference architecture, a private cloud is being built.  To manage the private cloud, a Hyper-V cluster is created and all the System
    Center components required to manage the private cloud are installed on this cluster.  This cluster is called the Fabric Management Cluster because from it all components of the Fabric, servers, storage, networking, VMs, policies, libraries, etc. are
    managed.
    Once that Fabric Management Cluster is established, any number of Fabric Clusters can be configured.  For example, the Private Cloud could be configured for a business, and multiple business units have virtual systems deployed.  The Fabric Management
    manager could decide to build one large Fabric Cluster on which to deploy the various business unit machines, or the manager could create separate clouds, each consisting of its own Fabric Cluster.  Each separate cloud could be dedicated to the use of
    a single business unit.
    Again, all conjecture on my part because you have not provided any context.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • VSAN link to DR shows as dashed line in Fabric Manager

    We have a 9509 at our HQ site and a 9216 at our DR site.
    We have a single VSAN configured from HQ to Dr that accries all of the replication traffic to DR.
    We recenlty had a situation where the fcip link to DR was down with:
    "2007 Aug 21 06:46:10 lkld-9509-01 %PORT-5-IF_DOWN_TCP_MAX_RETRANSMIT: %$VSAN 50%
    $ Interface fcip1 is down(TCP conn. closed - retransmit failure)"
    The link has been up fro a week now, but it is showing as a dashed line in Fabric Manager. The connection shows "Up" and all traffic is making it to the VSAN at the DR site.
    Before, I could see the link as a solid yellow line when I would look in Fabric Manager.
    Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    Thanks,
    Everything seems to be stable now, but is it possible there could be an issue with a port configuration?
    I have been here for almost 5 months and it happend one time for those hours I mentioned, nothing since.
    I have head that this has happened before.
    I have heard that these could be an issue:
    Buffer credits - not sure what to do there
    Interface not configured for the 45Mbps DS3 link we have.
    It seems if those were issues, we would see this more often that once every few months.
    Anything I can look for?

  • How to handle power managment features of Windows Vista

    Hi guys
    I searched a little bit in the Toshiba Technical Knowledge Base and found very interesting article about the power management features of Windows Vista.
    *[How to handle power management features of Windows Vista|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm]*
    The point is that you will not find a same Toshiba Power Saver tool on Vista like on the Windows XP notebooks and the power saver settings are a little bit hidden in the Vista Power Saver settings.
    But you can also control the certain options like Cooling Method or Power Saving Mode.
    I think this document could be interesting for some here in the forum!
    Greetings to all!

    Hi Jayjay
    Thanks for posting this here in the forum.
    Several days ago I searched for such further power option in Vista.
    This document was really, really helpful for me.
    Thanks again

  • 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

  • Lost performance data when upgrading Fabric Manager

    Hello,
    I did a fabric Manager update from 4.2(1b) to 4.2(7b).
    Altough I reused the original 4.2(1b) Oracle Database all my historical performance monitoring in Fabric Manager Web Client was lost!
    What went wrong?
    What should I do in the future to safeguard the historical data?
    Rgds,
    Ivy

    did you do "in-place" upgrade? that should have taken care of it.
    but note that FM does not store performance data into the database. It is maintained in local directory. There was an advisory about how to move this data between two versions. but i have not been successful using that

  • Timeout for Switch on Fabric Manager

    I am getting timeouts for switch connectivity on Fabric Manager. The error in the log is below. Would this be a firewall issue?
    An authentication problem? Or a configuration problem?
    %SNMPD-3-ERROR: SNMP log error : usm_process_in_msg : SNMP UDP authentication failed for 172.x.x.x
    Within Fabric Manager under Status the message shows timeout(Server)

    is there a firewall in between?
    which ports have you opened?
    I am trying to gather ports needed for firewall but documentation has not been helpful. but make sure that udp port 2162 is opened from switch to FM server and same port has been manually specified on switch snmp config

  • Difference's between CLI & Fabric Manager

    Just want to know what operations can be carried out in FM that can't be done via the CLI and vice-versa?
    Thanks.

    One thing that I had no luck with was user admin/RBAC with the Fabric Manager (FM). Perhaps I am just stupid but I found using the CLI much more productive. It obviously had something to do with SNMP v3 security and FM drove me crazy so I gave up using it. I changed passwords using FM and immediately locked myself out.
    One the other hand, I found Port Channel admin much easier using FM.
    FM is great for overall views especially when I inadvertently added new storage that was in loop mode (not point to point). It took me some time to figure out what the little circle was but after that, I knew exactly what was getting added to the Fabric.
    So there are endless reasons to use either of the two management systems. Its up to the individual to use the system they prefer.

  • 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.
