Upgrading Foglight for Storage Management cartridge

The latest version of the Foglight for Storage Management cartridge is 4.5.5.

Foglight for Storage Management cartridge 4.5.5 requires Management Server version 5.9.2, or Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition 8.7.5. Prior to upgrading the Storage Management cartridge, you must update Foglight for VMware to version 5.7.5. For more information, see the Foglight for VMware Release Notes.

NOTE: Foglight Resource Optimizer provides recommendations for changes in the VMware® or Hyper-V® environments, to make more efficient the use of resources. This requires that the VMware or Hyper-V agent is configured with a user that has elevated privileges, beyond the read-only privileges required for monitoring. For a list of privileges required for the VMware or Hyper-V agent, refer to section “Configuring Monitoring Agents for Data Collection” in the Foglight for VMware User and Reference Guide and Foglight for Hyper-V User and Reference Guide, respectively.
