Foglight for Virtualization Enterprise Edition 8.9.3 - Virtual Appliance Installation and Setup Guide

Install and configure the virtual appliance

This guide provides instructions for installing and configuring the Foglight® for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition virtual appliance and the Foglight® for Storage Management virtual appliance (hereafter called Foglight-FVE-FSM-vApp) and the Foglight FglAM virtual appliance. The instructions are similar for the two appliances; any specific instructions are noted, where applicable.

The Foglight-FVE-FSM-vApp provides three installers that allow you to select the appropriate version, as needed:

Foglight-FVE-FSM-vApp-xLarge: install this version if there are less than 10,000 virtual machines deployed in your environment.
NOTE: Quest strongly recommends that you install Foglight-FVE-FSM-vApp-xLarge on a Solid State Drive (SSD) storage; otherwise you might confront with the performance issues.
Foglight-FVE-FSM-vApp-large: install this version if there are less than 3000 virtual machines deployed in your environment.
Foglight-FVE-FSM-vApp-standard: install this version if there are less than 1000 virtual machines deployed in your environment.

The Foglight-FVE-FSM-vApp is delivered as a fully configured virtual appliance which contains two or three virtual machines and can be installed on a VMware® vSphere® virtualization platform. Before starting the installation, review the System requirements section, to ensure that your target system meets the requirements.
