Installing the Database
Before you install Fabric Manager, you must install a database. As of Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.1(2b),
you can use Oracle Database 10g Express. Your other choice is PostgreSQL.

Installing Oracle

Note If you want to use 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

If you have another instance of Oracle already installed on a PC, we recommend that you do not
install the Oracle database on the same PC. In such cases, Fabric Manager can only use the
PostgreSQL database.
The Oracle Database 10g Express option is only supported on Microsoft Windows. It is not
supported on UNIX systems.
