How can I use Fabric Manager in a mixed software environment?
You can use Fabric Manager version 2.0(x) to manage a mixed fabric of Cisco MDS 9000 switches.
Certain 2.0 feature tabs will be empty for any switches running a software version that does not support
those features.
How do I fix a "corrupted jar file" error when launching Fabric Manager?
If you get the following error:
An error occurred while launching the application Fabric Manager.
download error:corrupted jar file at <ipaddress>\Device Managerboot.jar
(Where <ipaddress> is that of the switch)
The error message you are getting indicates that the Java Web Start cache is corrupted. You can try
clearing your Java Web Start cache first. To clear the Cache either run Java Web Start (from the Programs
menu) and under the preferences select clear cache. Or do it manually by first making sure all Fabric
Manager or Device Manager instances are closed and then deleting .javaws/cache. In the newer JREs this
directory is created under Documents and Settings\USERNAME and in the older ones it used to be under
Program Files\Java Web Start.
You can also browse beneath the cache folder and delete the offending IPAddress folder (e.g.
cache/http/D10.0.0.1).
Also, check to make sure that the host is not running a virus checker / java blocker?
You also can run the uninstall program and delete .cisco_mds directory, and then reinstall Fabric
Manager.
How do I search for devices in a fabric?
