Notes:

  • Generic SMIS Storage agents currently do not support the high availability (HA) feature included with Foglight Agent Manager.
  • This release of Foglight for Storage Management is designed for use with Foglight 5.9.5 and Foglight Evolve 9.0.
  • The included update of the Java VM for both the agent manager and the Foglight Management Server includes security updates that remove support for RC4 cipher suites, MD5 signed SSL certificates, and support for SSLv3. Older versions of the management server using the default installation certificate will be provided with an updated certificate. If a user-provided SSL certificate was configured then it must be upgraded to comply with the Java security requirements. This should be done before installing the server upgrade. Future updates to Java may also disable support for SHA-1 signed SSL certificates. SHA-256 is recommended as the signature algorithm for all SSL certificates.
  • Any agents using SSL to monitor arrays or array management hosts use the same security restrictions. SSL certificates on arrays should be upgraded to SHA-256 signed certificates if SSL connections are required. Agents can switch to non-SSL connections if desired.
  • When connecting to BNA to monitor Brocade switches, only read-only access is required. The documentation has been updated to reflect this.
