Console mode

For Foglight systems, the console mode is available on UNIX® only for Solaris (SPARC 64 or x86-64) and Linux®.

For Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition and Foglight for Storage Management systems, the console mode is available on UNIX only for Linux

In console mode, the install instructions are in text format, but otherwise are the same as the graphical user interface install.

To execute the console mode, type the following command:

Solaris - Foglight only
Foglight-5_9_x-install_solaris-sparc64.bin -i console
Foglight-5_9_x-install_solaris-x86_64.bin -i console
Linux® - Foglight only
Foglight-5_9_x-install_linux-ia32.bin -i console
Foglight-5_9_x-install_linux-x86_64.bin -i console
Linux® - Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition only
Foglight_Virtualization-Enterprise-x_x_x-install_linux-ia32.bin -i console
Foglight_Virtualization-Enterprise-x_x_x-install_linux-x86_64.bin -i console
Linux® - Foglight for Storage Management only
FoglightStorageManagement-x_x_x-install_linux-ia32.bin -i console
FoglightStorageManagement-x_x_x-install_linux-x86_64.bin -i console

Silent mode

In silent mode, a properties file is used to feed in the installation parameters. The file consists of a list of key-value pairs, which are described in the following table.

To run the installer in silent mode:
Solaris - Foglight only
Foglight-5_9_x-install_solaris-sparc64.bin -i silent
Foglight-5_9_x-install_solaris-x86_64.bin -i silent
Linux® - Foglight only
Foglight-5_9_x-install_linux-ia32.bin -i silent
Foglight-5_9_x-install_linux-x86_64.bin -i silent
Linux® - Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition only
Foglight-Virtualization-Enterprise-x_x_x-install_linux-ia32.bin -i silent
Foglight-Virtualization-Enterprise-x_x_x-install_linux-x86_64.bin -i silent
Linux® - Foglight for Storage Management only
FoglightStorageManagement-x_x_x-install_linux-ia32.bin -i silent
FoglightStorageManagement-x_x_x-install_linux-x86_64.bin -i silent

To use a specific properties file in silent mode, append the following option:

-f <fms_silent_install>.properties

The installer loads the specified properties file. When the file name and installer prefix are the same, the installer uses the properties automatically.

 
Table 1. Properties files that the installer uses
The installer:
uses the properties file:

FoglightStorageManagement-x_x_x-install_linux-ia32.bin

FoglightStorageManagement-x_x_x-install_linux-ia32.properties

Foglight-5_9_x-install_linux-ia32.bin

Foglight-5_9_x-install_linux-ia32.properties

 
* 
NOTE: In certain configurations the Management Server uses ports in addition to the ones that you set using the silent installer. See the Administration and Configuration Guide for details.

Installing Foglight

The Foglight installer allows you either to install a new instance of the Foglight Management Server or to upgrade an existing installation of a Foglight Management Server. This guide provides the procedures for a new installation of the Management Server. For upgrade procedures, see the Upgrade Guide.

 
* 
NOTE: The Management Server should be installed on a dedicated machine.

For more details, see these topics:

•

•
Uninstalling Foglight
•
Upgrading the Management Server

Preparing to install

The requirements for installing Foglight are:

•
A machine to host the Management Server. The Management Server should run on a dedicated machine because it must process and store large volumes of data.
 
* 
NOTE: Ensure that a host name resolution and reverse lookup are confirmed prior to installing the Foglight Management Server.
NOTE: Link-local IPv6 addresses are not supported for the Management Server because many web browsers do not support link-local IPv6 addresses.
•
Administrator or root access to all machines requiring a Foglight agent.
•
An administrator password for Foglight. The user name foglight and the default password for this account can initially be used to log in to the browser interface and to use command-line interface options with root privileges. It is recommended that you change the default password for this account.
 
* 
NOTE: The installer does not allow installing Foglight with embedded PostgreSQL® as root on Unix.
•
A user account on the machine where you are installing Foglight.
•
The IATEMPDIR environment variable is set to a location with sufficient space for installer self-extraction to meet the requirements described in the document available at: https://flexeracommunity.force.com/customer/articles/en_US/INFO/Q000054
