Thread: Cisco Systems fail
I've been using a network management tool for a number of years from cisco to manage storage networking (fibre channel). The thing is called Fabric Manager and I was thrilled that they supported pg for the backend when I first installed. However, their latest and greatest is frozen to pg 8.2. Sigh. I think they tripped over the datatypes not being automatically cast to TEXT. That's what spewed anyway when I tried it to go around them. Maybe there is porting opportunity for someone since they seem to have lost their way: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/5_0/release/notes/fm/fm_rel_notes_507.html
