Foglight Evolve 9.2 - Upgrade Guide

Upgrade Foglight for Storage Management cartridge

The latest version of the Foglight for Storage Management cartridge is 4.8.5.

Foglight for Storage Management cartridge 4.8.5 requires Management Server version 5.9.7, or Foglight Evolve 9.2. Prior to upgrading the Storage Management cartridge, you must update Foglight for VMware to version 5.8.2. 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.

Upgrade the Storage Management Agents from the Storage & San > Storage Environment > Administration dashboard, for each Agent Manager Hosts shown in the StorageAgentMaster Monitor Agents view.

a
Upgrade StorageAgentMasterMonitor.gar.

Deactivate StorageAgentMaster.gar and remove the Windows service running on the Agent Host named FoglightStorageManagerCollector or HDCCService.
c
Deploy StorageAgentMasterDB.gar and create an agent.

Appendix: Deploying an agent package using the browser interface

This section explains how to deploy an agent package using the browser interface. This method is an alternative to using the command-line interface.

In Foglight, you can use the command-line interface to deploy an agent package for an upgraded cartridge, or you can use the browser interface.

Before you can deploy an agent package on a machine, you must first install the Agent Manager and the relevant agent package on that machine.

Use the Agent Managers dashboard to deploy one agent package at a time, or to deploy the agent package to multiple hosts. You can also deploy agent packages to a single host from the Agent Status page.

Deploying an agent package through the Agent Managers dashboard

1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, select Administration > Agents > Agent Managers.
3
Click Deploy Agent Package in the toolbar.
The Deploy Agent Package dialog wizard opens.
The entries that appear in the Agent Packages list include only those agent packages whose platform is compatible with the platform of the hosts you selected in Step 2. For example, if the host runs a particular Windows OS, the list contains only the agent packages that include the agent processes that can run on that Windows OS.
Optional — To see all packages that are available for deployment, including those are not compatible with the selected hosts, select Show Packages for All Platforms.
Click Next.

On the Summary page, review the choices you have made. Click Finish.
