Installing Fabric Manager
Before installing Fabric Manager, make sure that the hardware setup and initial configuration using the
CLI is completed. See

The Cisco Fabric Manager software executable files reside on every supervisor module of each Cisco
MDS 9000 Family switch in your network. The supervisor module provides an HTTP server that
responds to browser requests and distributes the software to Windows or UNIX network management
stations.
