EZSwitchSetup software and hardware requirements

1

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 .

The minimum hardware requirements for a Windows system are as follows:

•90 MB of hard drive space for the EZSwitchSetup installation directory.

•512 MB or more RAM for fabrics containing up to 15 switches.

•A minimum of 8 MB of video RAM is also recommended.

•An Ethernet port.

•A serial (COM) port if you plan to connect to the serial port on the switch.
