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 1.6.0_24 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 EZSS 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.
