Using the Management Services Wizard
The Management Services Wizard enables you to quickly create and apply initial configuration CLI
scripts for the MDS 9000 family. You can run the Management Services Wizard by accessing the
switch's supervisor module with a web browser.
To create a configuration script, step sequentially through all the configuration steps by filling in the
required fields on each page, and clicking the Next button. You can also selectively configure features
by clicking on their category titles in the left frame (e.g., Call Home).
When creating configuration scripts this way, you cannot go to any panel with failures in the validation
Note
of fields. Use the Enable check box on each panel to enable validation and script generation for that
panel. The exception to this is that a Role can only be created if a user is created at the same time.
If you want to change information on a previous page, use the Back button. You can also view and change
information you have entered at any time by clicking on the Review category title.
To edit an existing script file, you must open the script file with a text editor, select it, and copy it. In the
Management Services Wizard, click on Review under the Script item in the menu tree. Then, paste the
script into the text area of the script dialog.
A Note on Ports
For PCs running Fabric Manager Server, Fabric Manager Client, Device Manager, and Performance
Manager, certain ports need to be available.
Fabric Manager Client and Device manager use the first available UDP port for receiving SNMP
responses. The UDP SNMP Trap local ports are (FM=1162, DM=1163 or 1164). Fabric Manager Client
also opens TCP RMI port (9099). If Device Manager is opened from Fabric Manager Client, it listens
on the first available UDP port for Fabric Manager requests.
Fabric Manager Server requires two predictable TCP ports to be opened on the firewall for an incoming
connection:
•
•
As long as these two ports are opened, the Fabric Manager client is able to connect to the server. There
may be other TCP ports connected to a Fabric Manager client, but they are initiated by server, which is
behind the firewall.
