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
Ensure data migration when upgrading Cisco Fabric Manager from releases prior to Cisco SAN-OS
Releases 3.1(2b).
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
Configuration Guide.
Refer to
If you are upgrading a previous installation of Fabric Manager, make sure the previous installation
is installed and running. Do not uninstall the previous version. If the previous version is uninstalled,
the database will not be migrated and your server settings will not be preserved.
Select the database.
If you want to use the Oracle Database 10g Express, you must install the database and create a user
name and password before continuing with the Fabric Manager installation. We recommend the
Oracle Database 10g Express option for all users who are running Performance Manager on large
fabrics (1000 or more end devices).
If you want to install the PostgreSQL database, you must disable any security software you are
running as PostgreSQL may not install certain folders or users. You must also log in as a Superuser
before you start the installation.
Install Fabric Manager from the CD-ROM or from files that you download from Cisco.com at the
following website:
