Aliases
Device Alias
Unique name across the entire physical fabric. User friendly name for a port WWN that can be used in all configuration commands like FCNS, Zone, FC Ping, FC Trace Route, and IVR.
Device Aliases are distributed to all switches in a fabric using the coordinated distribution mechanism using the Cisco Fabric Services (CFS). Recommend using Device Aliases.

1 Earlier releases called for Use Device Aliases in place of FC Aliases, with default check
mark, new install rewords the same option to Use FC Aliases as Fabric default, and the option is unchecked by default. Recommendation: Go with default option (Devices Aliases recommended)
2 FM 3.1 install, default admin password was set to password. With new install, no default
admin password is defined, administrator configures password as part of install.

FM Server Install (3 of 3)
Oracle 10g option offered starting with FM 3.1. Oracle 10g is not packaged with FM, and has to be installed prior to installing the FM Server. Starting with 3.2(1) release, HSQLDB has been replaced with PostgreSQL as default option. No significant performance difference between Oracle 10g and PostgreSQL.

FM Client Install
FM Client can be installed from the web client or using the URL
http://server-ip-address/download.do
Click on Download to install FM Client
By default, only FMS Users with network-admin credentials are allowed to download the FM Client. To allow FMS Users with network-operator role to download the client, enable the property

FM Client No Traps
Status message No Traps would appear under two conditions: FM Server failed to register with the switch as the list of 10 destinations is full. FM Server failed to query its IP address, this can be addressed by providing an IP address in the web client under Admin / Configure / Preferences / trap.registeraddre ss, This a rare occurrence.

SNMP Proxy
In Firewall situations, enable SNMP Proxy so that all SNMP calls to the MDS from Device Manager and Fabric Manager are tunneled via the FM Server. When SNMP Proxy is enabled, Software Upgrade option on FM Clients working from behind the firewall will not work, as that functionality depends on FM client establishing a direct connection with the switch, and cli output parsing.

The option Type refers to the collection process. Recommend that flows are collected both ways. FMS server is smart to consolidate the data at the time of reporting.
Checking the Clear old flows on modified switches option purges all old data related to the fcid. Please select this option with careful consideration. Once selected, no way to restore lost the data. The option Create flows on all cards, gives flexibility for physical port to be moved to another module on the same switch.

Using default retention periods, each flow takes 115KB of disk space. By default ISL interfaces statistics are also collected once every 5 minutes. The time interval can be modified to as low as once every 30 seconds.

Database Sizing
To limit the size of database, performance data collected is retained for a finite period time. FM Server collects flow information once every 5 minutes. This interval cannot be changed. ISL statistics can be configured to collect in 30 second intervals. Default, once every 5 minutes. Configure data retention periods based on need. Longer retention periods of data will require larger disk space. Default configurations are
5 minute interval samples for 48 hours 30 minutes samples for 14 days 120 minute samples for 2 months One day samples for 300 days
Performance data collected every 5 minutes is saved in flat files with an rrd extension under the ...pm\db directory.
