Fabric Manager installation error

Hi All,

We have two Cisco MDS 9509 at one site and other two at another site, we were trying to install FM 3.1 on one of our windows 2003 sp2 server from Cisco software CDROM which came with the switches.


During Installation process we were receiving error PostgreSQL cannot be installed as system security agent is blocking its installation. we got Mcafee running on this server > so we disabled Mcafee and its services and tried again > but no luck ( no Cygwin on the system too).

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated to resolve this issue.

regards,
Samir

We have had this issue before and it was caused by the local security policy password complexity requirements (Adminisitrative Tools -> Local Security Policy -> Account Policies -> Password Policy -> Password must meet complexity requirements).

The password we set for postgresql only contained lower case characters and didn't meet the security policy complexity requirements so the install kept on failing (you should see an error in the event log stating this).

You can get around this by either using a more complex password or disabling the password complexity policy (note it is enabled by default on domain controllers) .

is McAfee the only antivirus/antispyware product running on this system ? You don't have Cisco Security Agent installed on this system ..do you ?

Hi dynamox,

We disabled McAfee AV on ths system still the issue comes up, I completed the installation with Oracle 10g.

I found this emc support article "emc180061" to work around this issue "Cisco Switch: Fabric Manager installation fails" thought it would help others if they encounter such an issue and use this work around.

Samir

probably could have used output from "netstat" to see what's bound to that port. Glad you are back in business.
