* 
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.
•
Foglight for Storage Management cartridge, version 6.0.0
•
Foglight for VMware, version 6.0.0
 
* 
NOTE: Java 7 or later requires that the vCenter Certificate’s public key length must be 1024-bits or higher and should not use MD5.
If you try to add a vCenter for monitoring, and these requirements are not met, the server generates a Certificate error and cannot add the vCenter. The vCenter server Certificate should be updated to 1024-bits or higher and no MD5, to be able to add it for monitoring. For more information, see the Foglight for VMware 6.0.0 Release Notes.

Upgrading to Foglight Evolve

Upgrading Foglight Evolve from Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition or a previous version of Foglight Evolve

This section guides you through the process of upgrading Foglight Evolve from Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition or a previous version of Foglight Evolve.

A typical Foglight Evolve installation includes a Management Server, at least one Foglight database, a number of cartridges installed on the server, and usually just one installation of the Agent Manager. There may also be customizations to the server in the form of custom cartridges.

The upgrade process updates each of these components to the latest version of Foglight Evolve, automatically:

Preparing to upgrade Foglight Evolve

 

* 
NOTE: Upgrades from Foglight for Virtualization Enterprise (FVE) edition to Foglight Evolve edition are not automatically free. To take advantage of the changed licensing and new functionality in Foglight Evolve, contact your Quest Account Manager to review your requirements.

Preparing for a Foglight Evolve upgrade from Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition or a previous version of Foglight Evolve is straightforward, but may be time-consuming. Before upgrading you should:

1
Create a support bundle from your Management Server. For information on how to do this, see the topic “Managing Support Bundles” in the Administration and Configuration Guide.
2
Back up the file system in which Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition or Foglight Evolve is installed. For information on how to do this, see the topic “Backing up Foglight” in the Administration and Configuration Help.
3
Back up your database. For information on how to do this, see the topic “Backing up Foglight” in the Administration and Configuration Help.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If you are using Oracle® RAC, back up the oracle-ds.xml file (or any other database connection files) before performing the upgrade.
4
Deactivate all agents through the Agent Status dashboard (Dashboards > Administration > Agents > Agent Status).
5
If you are upgrading to the Agent Manager-based VMware Performance Agent, identify the machine that will run the agent.
Recommended operating systems:
•
64-bit Windows® Server 2012 R2, with 4 GB or more RAM
•
64-bit Linux®, with 4 GB or more RAM
If you are currently running the VMware Performance Agent on a 64-bit Management Server, you can use the embedded Agent Manager for the VMware Agent to monitor up to 500 total VMs.
Note for installations monitoring large VMware environments

Some installations monitoring large VMware® environments have customized the VMware agent memory settings. These settings must be reapplied because the upgrade procedure overwrites them with the default settings.

For each Agent Host with existing VMware Performance agents:

1
On the agent machine, open the baseline.jvmargs.config file for editing. The file is located in the <Agent_Manager_home>/state/default/config directory.
2
Make note of the vmparameter.x values.
If the values on your agent are different, they must be reapplied after the upgrade.
3
After upgrading and reapplying the values in the baseline.jvmargs.config file, remove the deployed negotiation configuration settings directory (<Agent_Manager_home>/state/default/config/deployments), and restart the Agent Manager.
The new settings take effect after the Agent Manager is restarted.
