Step 2 Ensure data migration when upgrading Cisco Fabric Manager from Cisco SAN-OS Releases 3.1(2b) and

later.

If you are upgrading Cisco Fabric Manager in Cisco SAN-OS Releases 3.1(2b) and later, be aware that

data is migrated from the Hypersonic HSQL database to either the PostgreSQL database or Oracle

Database 10g Express during the installation. Data is also migrated from Oracle Database 10g Express

to Oracle Database 10g Express. If you migrate the database from Oracle to Oracle, the schema is

updated. Refer to Table 9 for information on the supported upgrade path.

Step 3 Ensure data migration when upgrading Cisco Fabric Manager from releases prior to Cisco NX-OS

Releases 4.1(3a).

If you are upgrading Fabric Manager in a Cisco SAN-OS Release prior to 3.1(2b), be aware that data is

migrated from the Hypersonic HSQL database to either the PostgreSQL database or the Oracle Database

10g Express during the installation. The Fabric Manager Installer installs the PostgreSQL database on

Windows. If you want to install the PostgreSQL database on Solaris or Linux, or if you want to install

the Oracle Database 10g Express database, follow the instructions in the “Installation of Cisco MDS

SAN-OS and Fabric Manager” section in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.

Refer to Table 9 for information on the supported upgrade path.
