Upgrade and compatibility

Upgrade and compatibility

The latest version of Foglight Change Analyzer is 5.8.3.

Foglight Change Analyzer 5.8.3 requires Management Server version 5.9.8, Foglight Evolve 9.3, or Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition 8.9.3. It also requires Foglight for VMware version 5.8.3.

To upgrade Foglight Change Analyzer to the latest version:

  1. Download the following packages from Quest Support Portal:
    • Foglight for VMware version 5.8.3 (which includes the vUsage-Feedback-5_8_3.car, DRP-5_8_3.car, Virtual-VMware-5_8_3.car, and Virtual-VMware-Admin-5_8_3.car cartridge files)
    • Foglight Change Analyzer version 5.8.3 (which includes the CommonAnalytics-5_8_3.car and ChangeAnalyzer-5_8_3.car cartridge files)
    • Foglight Resource Optimizer Automation version 5.8.3 (which includes the OptimizerAutomation-5_8_3.car cartridge file)
    • Foglight Resource Optimizer version 5.8.3 (which includes the Optimizer-5_8_3.car and VMware-Optimizer-5_8_3.car cartridge files)
  2. 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:
    1. vUsage-Feedback-5_8_3.car
    2. DRP-5_8_3.car
    3. OptimizerAutomation-5_8_3.car
    4. CommonAnalytics-5_8_3.car
    5. Virtual-VMware-5_8_3.car
      Note: After installing the Virtual-VMware-5_8_3.car cartridge, existing vCenter agents (VC agents) must be updated using the Update Agent button in the VMware Environment > Administration tab.
    6. Virtual-VMware-Admin-5_8_3.car
    7. VMware-Optimizer-5_8_3.car (recommended)
    8. Optimizer-5_8_3.car (recommended)
