System requirements
Memory requirements
Table 3 summarizes the minimum recommended system memory requirements for running DCFM plus SMI Agent
on Windows, Linux, and Solaris systems. Table 4 summarizes the minimum recommended system memory
requirements for running SMI Agent only on Windows, Linux, and Solaris systems.
NOTE
These requirements are only applicable when no other applications are running on DCFM.
NOTE
Paging space should be equal to or exceed the physical memory size.
Disc space requirements
Table 5 summarizes the minimum recommended disk space requirements for running DCFM on Windows, Linux,
and Solaris systems.
NOTE
The SMI Agent only edition uses the same requirements as the Enterprise edition.
NOTE
If you enable periodic supportSave or configure the DCFM server as the Upload Failure Data Capture location for
monitored switches, then additional disk 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 disk space requirements,
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 edition migration
NOTE
You cannot migrate directly from 10.0.X to 10.4.X. You must first migrate to 10.1.X or 10.3.X. To migrate from 10.0.X
to 10.1.X or 10.3.X, contact your customer representative.
You can only migrate from Professional edition to Professional Plus or Enterprise trial or full edition within the same
release. Therefore, to migrate from Professional edition 10.1.X or 10.3.X to Professional Plus or Enterprise
edition 10.4.X, you must first migrate to Professional edition 10.4.X. Use the following table to migrate data.
TABLE 11 Migration Paths

•“Professional pre-migration requirements on Windows systems” on page 13
•“Professional pre-migration requirements on UNIX systems” on page 13

Professional edition migration
Professional pre-migration requirements on Windows systems
Before you migrate from Professional, complete the following:
•Make sure that you fully back up your current Management application data on your management server.
•Make sure you close all instances of the application before upgrading.
Professional pre-migration requirements on UNIX systems
Before you migrate from Professional edition, complete the following:
•Make sure that you fully back up your current Management application data on your management server.
•Make sure you close all instances of the application before upgrading.
•Check for and install the latest Java patches for your operating system. DCFM requires JRE 1.6.0_16. 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.
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 24600"
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).
•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 DCFM 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 install.bin. A new X terminal window to the destination X Server display should open.

Professional edition migration
Migrating from Professional 10.1.X or 10.3.X
NOTE
Remote migration is not supported for Professional edition.
Use the following procedure to migrate from Professional edition 10.1.X or 10.3.X software to Professional edition
10.4.X software on a Windows management server.
1. Click Next on the Welcome screen.
2. Choose one of the following options to migrate data from a previous version.
To migrate data from a previous management application, you must do so now.
•To migrate data from the previous version installed (automatically detected), select Yes, from DCFM Pro in
the following location.
•To browse to the previous version, select Yes, from DCFM Pro installed in this machine and click Browse to
browse to the installation directory.
3. Click Next on the Copy Data and Settings screen.
An error message displays if any of the following occur:
A message displays that reads on successful migration, you will not be able to manage more than 1000 ports.
Do you want to continue? Click Yes to continue.
NOTE
If legacy EFCM or Fabric Manager software exists in the system, an Uninstall screen displays. Click Yes to
Uninstall services of legacy EFCM and Fabric Manager software.
4. Click Start on the Data Migration screen.
Data migration may take up to 30 minutes. When data migration is complete, the previous version is partially
uninstalled.
5. Click Next on the Data Migration screen.
6. Select Internal FTP Server or External FTP Server on the FTP Server screen and click Next.
The default selection reflects the previous Professional edition configuration.
If port 21 is busy, a message displays. Click OK to close the message and continue. Once the Management
application is configured make sure port 21 is free and restart the Server to start the FTP service.
NOTE
If you select to use an FTP Server which is not configured on the same machine as DCFM, the Firmware
Repository feature will not be available.
7. Select an address from the Switch - Server IP Configuration Preferred Address list and click Next.
Current selection reflects the previous Professional edition configuration.
If DNS is not configured for your network, do not select the ‘hostname’ option from the Preferred Address list.
Selecting the ‘hostname’ option prevents clients and devices from communicating with the Server.
Error Fix
Selected location is not valid or not supported. Browse to the correct location of the application.
Upgrade to a supported version.
