Fabric Manager replacement

Hello all .. Our server manager folks have been using the Cisco Fabric Manager as part of their support for our SAN. It has been installed on a windows 2008 system for a long time and they are pushing to move to Windows 2012. It seems that Fabric Manager will either not install or not run once it is installed. I figured this is part of windows 2012 being 64-bit which the documentation says it does not support. I was wondering if there is a replacement for Fabric Manager especially since they licenses have reached EOL. I really do not want to go through having them use the CLI.

Greetings.

Looks like you will want to see the DCNM line, https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/10_0_x/installation/DCNM_Installation_Guide_10_0_x/prerequisites.html which is listed as the replacement in fabric manager's EOL statement.

I believe the DCNM product line is moving towards a guestVM/virtual appliance model.

 

Thanks,

Kirk...

Just seems like over Kill for three small switches. We just had the other client installed on an existing desktop.



Thanks ...
