1 EZSwitchSetup software and hardware requirements

NOTE

Although your switch may have advanced capabilities, EZSwitchSetup is for a single-switch fabric with FC ports only. To configure and manage other features on your switch, use the command line interface, Web Tools, or Brocade Network Advisor.

EZSwitchSetup software and hardware requirements

You can run EZSwitchSetup on a SAN host computer or you can use a different computer that is not part of the SAN, such as a laptop.

EZSwitchSetup requires a browser that conforms to HTML version 4.0 and JavaScript version 1.0. The EZSwitchSetup installation CD automatically installs the correct Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for the disk-based installation wizard. This does not affect any pre-installed JREs, but other program components launched from the switch require Oracle JRE 1.7.0_9 or higher installed on the host.

EZSwitchSetup is supported on the platforms shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1	Supported platforms

Operating system		Browser	JRE version

SUSE Linux Enterprise 11		Firefox 12	Oracle JRE 1.7.0_9
