Foglight 6.0.0 - System Requirements and Platform Support Guide

Final platform support notice

The following operating system is not supported in this release:

Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 R2
Novell® SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.x
Ubuntu® Linux 12.04.x LTS

Supported external databases

Foglight® Management Server requires a database repository. You have the option of using either the embedded PostgreSQL® database included with Foglight®, or an external PostgreSQL, Oracle®, SQL Server®, or MySQLTM database. The embedded database is included with the Management Server and it follows the same lifecycle, it stops and starts with the server. If you use an external database, you are responsible for its procurement, installation, and management. Using an external database may improve the Management Server performance.

You can run your external database on any operating system supported by your database vendor, but Quest only provides support for external database issues that can be reproduced on one of the operating systems (32- or 64-bit) listed in the following table.

Installer includes a 32-bit JRE, so the maximum heap size is limited to a 32-bit address space, even on a 64-bit operating system.


2

Before installing or upgrading the Agent Manager, ensure that the latest OS service packs are installed.


3

This platform will switch to a 64-bit JRE when support for 32-bit operating systems is removed (see Final platform support notice ).


4

See the Support Policy on Virtualization on our support portal for important information on using Foglight in virtual environments on these platforms.


5

Installer includes a 32-bit JRE. While Solaris 11 only supports 64-bit SPARC hardware, the maximum heap size is still limited to a 32-bit address space. This platform will switch to a 64-bit JRE in a future release.

Foglight™ requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run, both for the Management Server and for the Agent Manager that runs on monitored hosts.

Foglight installs the JREs it needs, but you must ensure that any machine that will run a component of Foglight has its operating system patched to the minimum patch level required to support this JRE. This release of Foglight uses the following Java versions:

Check with your operating system vendor for the latest operating system patches required to run this version of Java on your system. Foglight cannot check this during installation.
