Displaying the Switch Serial Number
Step 1 Download m9000-lc1-gplug-mz.1.0.2.bin from the Software Center on Cisco.com
(http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/mds-utilities). You must have a CCO account to access the
files on the Software Center.
Step 2 Save the CompactFlash Check Utility to a tftp server. You will need the tftp server address.
To run the CompactFlash report using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Tools > Compact Flash Report.
Note In the Flash Check Utility URL tftp:// field, you must enter the TFTP server location where
you saved the CompactFlash Check Utility.
Step 2 Deselect the check box for the switch(es) for which you do not want to run the CompactFlash report.
Step 3 Specify where you want the report file to be saved.
Step 4 Click OK to run the report.
Note A green indicator light showing Success: Finished check only indicates that the switch was
checked. You must examine the log file for CompactFlash status.
Step 5 If you see the message Error: Failed to copy plugin file, verify that the path you entered in the Flash
Check Utility URL tftp:// field is correct.
Step 6 If necessary, enter the correct location in the Flash Check Utility URL tftp:// field.
Step 7 Click OK to run the report again. Open the log file report for detailed information about CompactFlash
status.
Displaying the Switch Serial Number
The serial number of your Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch can be obtained by looking at the serial
number label on the back of the switch (next to the power supply) or from Fabric Manager by selecting
that switch in the Logical Domains pane, then expanding Switches and selecting Hardware in the
Physical Attributes pane in Fabric Manager. The Serial No Primary column in the Information pane
shows the serial number.
Displaying Power Usage Information
Use Fabric Manager to display power usage. Select a switch in the Logical Domains pane, expand
Switches and select Hardware in the Physical Attributes pane, then click the Power Supplies tab in the
Information pane to display actual power usage information for the entire switch. See the first example
under Power Supply Configuration Modes.
