should be able to install it from the switch itself. if your switch is anything like 9209 ..then simply install java jre on your workstation and then open IE and point to the ip of your switch.
this is from Cisco website ..should work for your switch too.
Connecting to a Supervisor Module
The Cisco Fabric Manager software executables reside on each supervisor module of each Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch in your network. The supervisor module provides an HTTP server that responds to browser requests and distributes the software to Windows or UNIX network management stations.
To install the software for the first time, or if you want to update or reinstall the software, access the supervisor module with a web browser. When you click the Install buttons on the web page that is displayed, the software running on your workstation is verified to make sure you are running the most current version of the software. If it is not current, the most recent version is downloaded and installed on your workstation.
To download and install the software on your workstation, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter the IP address or host name of the supervisor module in the address or location field of your browser.
When you connect to the server for the first time, it checks to see if you have the correct Sun Java Virtual Machine version installed on your workstation. If not, a link is provided to the appropriate web page on Sun Microsystem's website so you can install it.
The supervisor module HTTP server displays the window.
Step 2 Click the link to the Sun Java Virtual Machine software (if required) and install the software.
Using the instructions provided by the Sun Microsystems website to reconnect to the supervisor module by reentering the IP address or host name in the Location or Address field of your browser.
Step 3 Click either installation link (Install Fabric Manager or Install Device Manager).
You see a prompt asking for permission to install the Java applets on your workstation.
Step 4 Click Start to begin installing the software.
The Java Web Start application is automatically downloaded and installed on your workstation. Once the installation is complete, you can start the Cisco Fabric Manager directly from the Fabric Manager icon or the Device Manager icon on your desktop, or from the options on the Windows Start menu.
The 9020 (also known as the 9Q20) switch does not have Device or Fabric Manager software installed on it. This is noted in both the release notes for the product and in EMC's knowledgebase. A separate CD is provided with the switch with Device and Fabric Manager on it for the 9020. You can also use FM or Device Manager from another switch as long as you have the correct version that supports the 9020. In other words, you can download FM or DM from another switch if you lost the CD. If you don't have the CD and don't have other MDS switches, please contact your EMC field support representative and they can provide it to you.
