Getting technical help

Contact your switch support supplier for hardware, firmware, and software support, including
product repairs and part ordering. To expedite your call, have the following information available:

1. DCFM Serial Number

To obtain the DCFM serial number, select Help > License. The DCFM License dialog box
displays.

About This Document

2. General Information

• Switch model

• Switch operating system version

• Error numbers and messages received

• supportSave command output

• Detailed description of the problem, including the switch or fabric behavior immediately

following the problem, and specific questions

• Description of any troubleshooting steps already performed and the results

• Serial console and Telnet session logs

• syslog message logs

3. Switch Serial Number

The switch serial number and corresponding bar code are provided on the serial number label,
as illustrated below.:

*FT00X0054E9*

FT00X0054E9

The serial number label is located as follows:

• Brocade 200E—On the nonport side of the chassis

• Brocade 300, 4100, 4900, 5100, 5300, 7500, 8000, and Brocade Encryption Switch—On

the switch ID pull-out tab located inside the chassis on the port side on the left

• Brocade 5000—On the switch ID pull-out tab located on the bottom of the port side of the

switch

• Brocade 7600—On the bottom of the chassis

DCFM Installation, Migration, and Transition Guide xv
53-1001360-01

About This Document

• Brocade 48000—Inside the chassis next to the power supply bays

• Brocade DCX—On the bottom right on the port side of the chassis

• Brocade DCX-4S—On the bottom right on the port side of the chassis, directly above the

cable management comb.

4. World Wide Name (WWN)

Use the wwn command to display the switch WWN.

If you cannot use the wwn command because the switch is inoperable, you can get the WWN
from the same place as the serial number, except for the Brocade DCX. For the Brocade DCX,
access the numbers on the WWN cards by removing the Brocade logo plate at the top of the
nonport side of the chassis.

Headless installation information

Headless installation, also known as silent mode installation, is fully supported on all UNIX
platforms. Once initiated, the headless installation has minimal user interaction and runs based on
the default values provided. Silent installation completes the install wizard part, then you must
copy data and settings, configure the FTP or SCP server, configure IP, and configure server ports
using the Configuration wizard in the graphical user interface mode.

NOTE

If you enable periodic supportSave or configure the DCFM server as the Upload Failure Data Capture
location for monitored switches, then additional disc space will be required. Each switch
supportSave file is approximately 5 MB and each Upload Failure Data Capture file is approximately
500 KB. To determine the disc space requirement, multiply the frequency of scheduled supportSave
files by 5 MB and the expected Upload Failure Data Capture files by 500 KB, before the planned
periodic purge activity.

Professional Professional Plus

Browser requirements

The launch of DCFM and the launch of Element Manager (Web Tools) from the application are
supported from the following browsers with Java plug-in:

• Windows Internet Explorer under Windows

• Firefox under Windows, Solaris, Linux

• Java Plug-in: 1.6.0_13 for DCFM

• Java Plug-in: 1.5.0_06 (S) and 1.6.0_13 (FT) for WebTools

Client and Server system requirements

The Management application has the following client and server system requirements.

• Professional Edition — A single Server supports a single Client (local client only)

• Professional Plus Trial — A single Server supports a maximum of 25 Clients (local or remote)

• Professional Plus Edition — A single Server supports a maximum of 25 Clients (local or remote)

• Enterprise Trial — A single Server supports a maximum of 25 Clients (local or remote)

Do not use port 1527 for any of these port numbers. Port 1527 is used internally by the server.

FIGURE 3 Server Port Configuration screen

a. Enter a port number in the Syslog Port Number field (default is 514).

NOTE

If the default syslog port number is already in use, you will not receive any syslog
messages from the device.

b. Enable SSL by selecting the SSL Enabled check box.

c. Enter a port number in the Web Server Port Number field (default is 443 if SSL Enabled is

selected; otherwise, the default is 80).

d. Enter a port number in the SNMP Port Number field (default is 162).

e. Enter a port number in the Starting Port Number field (default is 24600).

Professional edition pre-installation requirements on UNIX systems

• To avoid errors, close all instances of the application before beginning the installation or

uninstallation procedures.

If you still receive error messages after closing the application, enter the following commands:

#ps -ef | grep -i “” to list the process IDs

#kill -9 “<Process_ID>” where <Process_ID> is any Management application process

• Check for and install the latest Java patches for your operating system. DCFM requires

JRE 1.6.0. For the Solaris web site listing patch information, go to
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.

• (Solaris only) To use IPv6 on a server that is IPv4- and IPv6-enabled, complete the following

steps.

1

a. Open a command window.

b. Type ifconfig <Interface_Name> inet6 plumb up and press Enter.

c. Restart the Management server and client, if running.

If the IPv6 address is not configured properly, the client will show a "Server Not Available at
port 51511" message even though the server started successfully.

• Make sure that an X Server is available for display and is configured to permit X Client

applications to display from the host on which they are installing the DCFM Server (typically,
this simply requires that the systems console be present and running with a logged in user on
the X Server-based desktop session, such as KDE, GNOME, and so on).

If this is a headless unit with no console, refer to “Headless Pre-Installation Requirements” on
page 23.

• Make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is correctly defined in the shell with a valid

value (for example, to display to the local console, export DISPLAY=:0.0, or to display to a
remote system that has an X Server running, export DISPLAY=<Remote_IP_address>:0.0).

You may also need to consider a firewall that might block the display to the X Server which
listens by default on TCP port 6000 on the remote host.

To display to a remote system you need to permit the remote display of the X Server by running
command xhost +IP, where IP is the IP address of the EFCM server host from the X-based
desktop of the remote system.

• Make sure you test the DISPLAY definition by running the command xterm, from the same shell

from which you run
should open.

install.bin. A new X terminal window to the destination X Server display
