Chapter 2 Installing Cisco MDS NX-OS and Fabric Manager
Upgrading Fabric Manager Server and Fabric Manager Standalone Version Using the Fabric Manager Update
Upgrading Fabric Manager Server and Fabric Manager
Standalone Version Using the Fabric Manager Update Installer
As of Release 3.3(1a), you can use the Cisco MDS 9000 Fabric Manager Update Installer to upgrade:
• Fabric Manager Server
• Fabric Manager Standalone
The Fabric Manager Update Installer is smaller in size than the Fabric Manager installer which makes it
easier to download. The update Installer has limited capability to upgrade Fabric Manager Server or the
Fabric Manager Standalone version and it does not have the capability to install a database or the Fabric
Manager Server infrastructure (JBoss).
Table 2-4 shows the recommended Fabric Manager upgrade
paths.
