Step 10: Foglight mode

Step 10: Foglight mode
1
Select the server mode. The options are Standalone (the default) or HA (High Availability).
 
* 
NOTE: A server running in HA mode can only use an external database.
2
If you choose HA (High Availability): In the HA Partition field, type the partition name. All servers set up in HA (High Availability) mode that you want to act as either primary or secondary servers for failover must be configured with the same partition name.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Servers with different partition names do not participate in the high availability setup.
 
* 
NOTE: If you do not choose HA (High Availability) while installing Foglight but want to use HA mode later, you can enable HA mode after installation. For more information, see the Foglight High Availability Field Guide.

Click Next.

Step 11: FIPS Compliance mode

Step 11: FIPS Compliance mode

This step allows you to enable FIPS Compliance mode. Select the checkbox if you want to enable FIPS compliance mode.

* 
NOTE: Once the FIPS Compliance mode is enabled during installation, you cannot disable it without a complete reinstall of Foglight.

Step 12: Foglight repository database type

Step 12: Foglight repository database type

This step allows you to select the Foglight database type. The server on which the database is located must be running before you complete this step.At the completion of this step, the installer creates the user (foglight is the default user ID) in the database and sets the appropriate permissions.

•
Select MySQL (External database) and then click Next. See the following section for instructions.
 
* 
NOTE: The embedded database option does not appear if you selected HA as the server startup mode in Step 10: Foglight mode.

If you install and configure a MySQL® database instance as an external database and this instance is to run on a different machine than the one hosting the server, select the MySQL option to make the database accessible remotely.

MySQL external database
 
* 
NOTE: For information about granting remote users access to the database, see External MySQL database access for remote users.

If the Management Server you are installing is configured to be part of an HA cluster, you must also configure it to connect to the same database instance as all other members of the cluster. This typically means that you set Host, Port, and Database Name to the same values as those used for the other members. In some rare cases, certain settings might be different. For example, the value for Host might be different if there is a firewall between the database and certain members of the cluster in your environment.

1
In the Host box, type the database host name or IP address (the default is localhost).
2
In the Port field, type a port number or accept the default (3306). This is the TCP/IP port on which the database communicates with the Management Server. The external database needs to be configured to communicate on this port.
3
In the Database Name field, type the name of the database (the default is foglight).
4
In the Foglight Repository User Name box, accept the default user name or type an alternate one. The Management Server uses this account to connect to the database.
5
In the Foglight Repository User Account Password box, accept the default password or type an alternate one. The Management Server uses this password to connect to the database.
6
In the Foglight Repository User Account Retype Password box, accept the default or, if you have provided an alternate password in step 5, re-type the password for verification.
7
Select one of the following Repository Creation options:
•
Automatically create the repository database
•
Manually create the repository database
8
If you select Manually create the repository database, there are two methods you can use to create the database. For more information, see Manual database configuration.
 
* 
NOTE: You must manually create the database before proceeding.
9
If you select Automatically create the repository database, select the Repository Administrator Account Authentication Method, and then type the Repository Administrator Account User Name and Password. The Management Server uses the administrator account credentials to create the MySQL® database.
 
* 
NOTE: The Repository Administrator Account User Name cannot be the same as the User Account User Name you created in step 4.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If the Management Server you are installing is configured to be part of an HA cluster, you must set the Repository Administrator Account User Name and Password to the same values as those used for the other Management Servers that share the same HA partition name.
10
Click Next.
If a database schema already exists, the Foglight Database Found screen appears. This screen allows you to keep your existing data, create a new database, or select a different database. If you are running in HA mode, select Keep existing data.
If you chose Manually create the repository database in step 7, and did not create the database at that time, an error message appears. For more information, see Manual database configuration.

Step 13: Foglight ports configuration

Step 13: Foglight ports configuration
1
Configure the server ports. The Foglight Ports Configuration screen displays default ports that you can assign.
 
* 
NOTE: In certain configurations, the Management Server uses other ports than the ones that you can set on this screen; for example, when Foglight is running in High Availability (HA) mode. See the Administration and Configuration Help for details.
2
If you are installing Foglight in High Availability (HA) mode and are planning to have multiple HA partitions on the same sub-network, configure a different Cluster Multi-cast Port for each HA partition. The primary server and secondary servers within each HA partition must be configured to use the same Cluster Multi-cast Port.
You can set this port from the Foglight Ports Configuration screen, or change it after installation in the server.config file. See Configuring the cluster multicast port used in High Availability mode for information about changing this port after installing Foglight.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Errors can occur if servers that are not part of the same HA partition are configured to multicast on the same port on the same sub-network as the HA partition. See Running the Management Server FAQ for more information about these errors.
3
If you want to revert to the default values, click Defaults.
4
Click Next.
 
* 
NOTE: If there are any port assignment conflicts, an error message dialog box appears. Click Review Ports, if you want to return to the Foglight Ports Configuration screen to configure the conflicting port(s), or click Ignore and Continue to continue with the installation without resolving the port conflicts. Select one of these options to continue.
