Upgrade Foglight for VMware

The latest version of Foglight for VMware is 5.7.5.

Foglight for VMware 5.7.5 requires Management Server version 5.9.x, or Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition 8.7.5.

Upgrades are supported from Foglight for VMware 5.6.15.x and later. Upgrades from the versions earlier than 5.6.15.x are not supported.

Important: The VMware Performance Agent uses a Virtual Center account to log in to the monitored Virtual Center. The administrative role associated with that account must be granted the Performance > Modify intervals privilege. When collecting traffic-type network metrics from the monitored ESX hosts, this privilege enables the VMware Performance Agent to change the performance metric counter levels in order to collect this data. On the Virtual Center server, verify that the user has the following privileges:

•
Datastore > Browse datastore
•
Datastore > Remove file
•
Performance > Modify intervals
•
Sessions > View and stop sessions
•
Virtual machine > Configuration > Change CPU count
•
Virtual machine > Configuration > Change resource
•
Virtual machine > Configuration > Memory
•
Virtual machine > Interaction > Power Off
•
Virtual machine > Interaction > Power On
•
Virtual machine > State > Remove Snapshot
 
* 
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 Release Notes.
To upgrade Foglight for VMware to the latest version:
1
Deactivate all VMware Performance agent instances.
2
On the Cartridge Inventory dashboard, install the following cartridge files. Do not remove the older version of these cartridges. Install the new versions over the older versions. The sequence of cartridge installation is important because of their dependencies. For cartridge installation instructions, see “Installing Foglight cartridges” in the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help.
a
DRP-5_7_5.car
b
OptimizerAutomation-5_7_5.car
c
CommonAnalyics-5_7_5.car
d
Virtual-VMware-5_7_5.car
e
Virtual-VMware-Admin-5_7_5.car
3
On the VMware Environment dashboard, on the Administration tab, update all of the existing VMware Performance agent instances.
4
Important. If you increased the JVM memory allocation in a previous cartridge installation (as described in the “System Requirements” section of the Foglight for VMware Release Notes), you need to repeat this process after deploying the new agent package and before activating the agents.
5
Activate all VMware Performance agent instances.
