Device Manager on 5548

[Brad_80]

Hi,

Have a pair of new 5548UPs here running 5.2(1)N1(1a) with SPS license. My past experience with the 5Ks has been that I could access Device Manager by pointing a browser at the mgmt0 IP, and launching the installer from there. On these new switches, I get a 404 error when I try that, and if I do "feature http" I then get what looks like an empty directory listing. Is Device Manager still supported/included on this NX-OS version? I certainly hope so, as DCNM is very much overkill for this environment.

Support for http on nexus switches was removed a while back hence you cannot download Device Manager. So what you are seeing is expected. DCNM-SAN standalone is way to go for the current NX-OS version 5.2.1 on 5k.

Thanks,

Vinayak
