Upgrade Foglight Automation
The latest version of Foglight Automation is 5.6.3.8.
Foglight Automation 5.6.3.8 requires Management Server version 5.9.4 or later.
|
• |
Disable the previous 5.6.3.4 before upgrading this cartridge, upgrade the Management Server to version 5.9.4, and then install version 5.6.3.8 of the cartridge as you would install a new Foglight Automation. |
For cartridge installation instructions, see “Installing Foglight Evolve Cartridges” in the Foglight Evolve Administration and Configuration Help.
For more details, see Upgrading Foglight ActionPacks.
Upgrading Foglight ActionPacks
The latest version of Foglight ActionPacks is 5.6.3.8:
|
• |
Foglight ActionPacks 5.6.3.8 requires Management Server version 5.9.4 or later.
The ActionPacks require the ActionPack-Runtime.car file, which is included in the Foglight Automation.car file. All cartridges must have the same version.
Upgrade Foglight Change Analyzer
The latest version of Foglight Change Analyzer is 5.8.0.
|
• |
Foglight for VMware version 5.8.0 (which includes the DRP-5_8_0.car, Virtual-VMware-5_8_0.car, and Virtual-VMware-Admin-5_8_0.car cartridge files) |
|
• |
Foglight Change Analyzer version 5.8.0 (which includes the CommonAnalytics-5_8_0.car and ChangeAnalyzer-5_8_0.car cartridge files) |
|
• |
Foglight Resource Optimizer Automation version 5.8.0 (which includes the OptimizerAutomation-5_8_0.car cartridge file) |
|
• |
Foglight Resource Optimizer version 5.8.0 (which includes the Optimizer-5_8_0.car and VMware-Optimizer-5_8_0.car cartridge files) |
|
NOTE: After installing the Virtual-VMware-5_8_0.car cartridge, existing vCenter agents (VC agents) must be updated using the Update Agent button in the VMware Environment > Administration tab. |
Upgrade Foglight for Hyper-V
The latest version of Foglight for Hyper-V is 5.8.0.
|
IMPORTANT: When upgrading from version 5.6.7 or earlier (included with Foglight for Virtualization 6.8 or earlier, or Foglight 5.6.7 or earlier), Hyper-V agents are automatically transitioned to use credential management. This transition requires that all agents be upgraded through the Hyper-V Environment > Administration tab. Using other methods to upgrade Hyper-V agents results in agents without configured credentials and requires additional configuration before collections can resume. |

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. |
Note: The monitoring of Hyper-V and Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) is enabled by the Virtual-HyperV-5_8_0.car file.
|
5 |
To enable System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) monitoring, install the SCVMM-5_8_0.car file. |
|
6 |
Update all of the existing Hyper-V agent instances. On the Hyper-V Environment dashboard > Administration tab, select all agent instances from the Agents table, and click Update Agent on the menu bar. |
|
NOTE: Alternatively, you can deploy the updated agent package (HypervAgent.gar) using the browser interface; for details, see Appendix: Deploying an agent package using the browser interface. In this case, you need to create the corresponding credentials any existing Hyper-V agents manually, after deploying the agent package. |
