Components compatibility

The Foglight 7.3.0 code line includes a number of critical changes which require particular attention for customers upgrading from previous versions.This has the following specific impacts on customers upgrading from a lower version.

•
Foglight introduced FIPS Compliance mode starting from 5.9.7. Once the FIPS Compliance mode is enabled or disabled during installation, you cannot change it without a complete re-installation of Foglight.
•
Foglight Management Servers must be upgraded to version 6.3.0 before they can upgrade to the 7.3.0 code line. If the Foglight Management Server is below 6.3.0, the installer may fail.
•
All Quest or Quest partner delivered cartridges that have a dependency on the changed components in the data submission handler must be upgraded prior to upgrading to the 7.3.0 code line. A complete list of cartridges is provided in Compatible cartridges list. If there are incompatible Quest or Quest partner delivered cartridges, the installer will fail and display the appropriate error message.
