HP patch checking tool

If your external database is installed on an HP-UX server, HP provides a tool for ensuring that all the patches required to run Java® on HP-UX are installed.

The tool is available from:

http://www.hp.com/go/java

To use the tool, issue the following command:

java -jar ./HPjconfig.jar -nogui -patches -listmis -javavers 6.0

Uninstalling Foglight

You can uninstall Foglight using the uninstaller utility for your platform. The uninstaller can be found in <foglight_home>\UninstallerData.

The default mode for the uninstaller is the graphical user interface (GUI) mode. However, in cases where a graphics display is not available, the Foglight installer can be run from the command line by using the silent uninstaller.

To uninstall Foglight:
1
Stop the Foglight Management Server using the appropriate method:
•
To stop a standalone Management Server that is not running as a Windows® service, follow the instructions in Stopping the Management Server.
•
To stop a standalone Management Server that is running as a Windows service, follow the instructions in Running the Management Server as a Windows service.
•
To stop a Management Server that is running in High Availability (HA) mode, follow the instructions in Starting and stopping the Management Server in High Availability mode.
2
Navigate to the UninstallerData directory of your Foglight installation and run the Uninstall Foglight executable.
•
To launch the uninstaller in GUI mode, simply run the Uninstall Foglight executable.
•
To launch the uninstaller in silent mode, run the Uninstall Foglight executable using the following command:
”Uninstall Foglight.exe” -i silent -f installvariables.properties
3
After uninstallation, you can safely delete the <foglight_home> directory. It is recommended that you do so, since the uninstaller does not remove certain directories within <foglight_home>.
 
* 
NOTE: After uninstallation, you can also safely delete any Foglight shortcuts, regardless of their location.

Upgrading the Management Server

See the Upgrade Guide for detailed upgrade instructions.

Installing Foglight FAQ

When I try to install Foglight with an external database using silent mode, Foglight generates a fatal error that states “Foglight Database Found: Installation canceled”. Why does this error occur?

Silent mode does not work if you set parameters in the properties file for Foglight to connect to an external database and an existing Foglight schema is present in that database. There is no Foglight silent installer parameter for using an existing database schema in order to prevent the contents of an existing database from being lost.

If you attempt to run the silent installer using a properties file that specifies an external database where an existing Foglight schema is present, a fatal error like the following appears in the installation logs and the installation fails:

An existing Foglight database schema was found.
Cannot continue install. Run the installer in a GUI mode.
Database Install Failed
Foglight Database Found: Installation canceled.
 
Status: FATAL ERROR

If you encounter this error, either run the installer in GUI mode or drop the database manually. When you run the installer in GUI mode, a screen appears if an existing Foglight database schema is found. This screen allows you to keep your existing data, create a database, or select a different database. See Installing a new version of the Management Server for more information.
