Components compatibility

The Foglight 6.3.0 code line includes a number of critical changes which require particular attention for customers upgrading from a 5.7.x version. Specifically, three primary functional capabilities (server side data handling, Federation, High Availability) that used legacy JBoss components in versions prior to 5.9.x have been re-written to improve Foglight Management Server security. This has the following specific impacts on customers upgrading from a 5.7.x version.

•
Foglight introduced FIPS Compliance mode starting from 5.9.7. Once the FIPS Compliance mode is enabled or disabled during installation, you cannot change it without a complete re-installation of Foglight.
•
Foglight Management Servers must be upgraded to version 5.7.5.8 before they can upgrade to the 6.3.0 code line. If the Foglight Management Server is below 5.7.5.8, the installer will fail and display the appropriate error message.
•
All Quest or Quest partner delivered cartridges that have a dependency on the changed components in the data submission handler must be upgraded prior to upgrading to the 6.3.0 code line. A complete list of cartridges is provided in Compatible cartridges list. If there are incompatible Quest or Quest partner delivered cartridges, the installer will fail and display the appropriate error message.
•
Other custom cartridges MAY have a dependency on the server side data handling component that has changed. A pre-upgrade analysis tool has been developed to identify any custom cartridges that might need changed.
•
Before upgrading to 6.3.0, Quest recommends you create a Management Server Support Bundle to facilitate future communications with support regarding upgrade failures.
•
There are new configuration requirements for customer running High Availability (HA) or Federation. For more information, see Upgrade the cartridges in a federated or High Availability (HA) environment, Federation Field Guide, and High Availability Field Guide.
