Cisco Fabric Manager Server Federation Deployment Guide
OL-21765-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 5.x
Chapter 2 Deploying Cisco Fabric Manager Server Federation
Installing the Federated Servers
• Check the Add server to an existing federation check box to add the server into an existing
federation.
• Fabric Manager Standalone to install the standalone version of Fabric Manager.
Note Verify that the Fabric Manager Server hostname entry exists on the DNS server, unless the Fabric
Manager Server is configured to bind to a specific interface during installation.
Step 8 Select an installation folder on your workstation for Fabric Manager.
On Windows, the default location is C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\MDS 9000. On a UNIX (Solaris
or Linux) machine, the installation path name is /usr/local/cisco_mds9000 or $HOME/cisco_mds9000,
depending on the permissions of the user doing the installation.
Step 9 Click Next.
You see the Database Options dialog box shown in Figure 2-3.

Step 10
Click either the Install PostgreSQL radio button or the Use existing DB radio button to specify which
database you want to use.
Note If you choose to install PostgreSQL, you must disable any security software you are running because
PostgreSQL may not install certain folders or users.
Note If you had installed the database separately, click the Use existing database radio button and enter the
credentials of the database that you installed in the previous step.
