Foglight for SQL Server (Cartridge) 6.1.0.10 - Release Notes

Upgrade and Compatibility

A direct upgrade to Foglight for SQL Server 6.1.x is only available from version 5.7.5.x or later. Customers that are running 5.7.x of the product must first upgrade to version 5.7.5.x and then upgrade to version 6.1.x. A direct upgrade to Foglight for SQL Server 6.1.x is only available from version 5.5.8 or later. Customers that are running earlier versions of the product must first upgrade to version 5.5.8 and then upgrade to version 5.7.x.

For example, if your Foglight for SQL Server is version 5.5.8 and you are going to upgrade to version 6.1.0.106.1.x, the upgrade path will be 5.5.8 > 5.7.x > 5.7.5.x (or later) > 6.1.x.

Foglight for SQL Server 6.1.x requires:

•
Management Server version 6.1.x
•
Agent Manager version 6.1.x
To upgrade Foglight for SQL Server to version 6.1.x:
•
Install version 6.1.x of the cartridge as you would install a new Foglight for SQL Server cartridge. Do not delete the older version of the .car file. Install version 6.1.x over the older version.
For cartridge installation instructions, see the Foglight for Databases Deployment Guide.

Once you have upgraded the cartridge, to deploy the agent package, navigate to the Global View dashboard and follow the upgrade wizard instructions. For a procedure describing how to deploy the agent package, see the Foglight for Databases Deployment Guide.

 

* 
NOTE:  
•
Foglight for SQL Server does not support the upgrade method of placing the new version in the folder <foglight_home>/upgrade/cartridge/.
•
Starting from version 5.9.5.20, Infobright is no longer supported. It is necessary to move existing agents to the SQL Server-based PI repository. We have provided a data migration utility for customers who want to keep their historical performance data. For more information, refer to How to migrate database agents to a SQL Server-based PI repository.

 

* 
IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading to the current version of Foglight for SQL Server in a Federation architecture, the upgrade should be applied first to the Federated Children and then to the Federation Master. If the Federation Master is upgraded first, it will display incorrect information regarding the number of instances being monitored in the Status Summary section.
