Upgrade Foglight for NMS Integration

The latest version of Foglight for NMS Integration is version 5.6.4.6.

Foglight for NMS Integration requires Management Server 5.6.3 or later (Management Server version 5.6.4 or later is recommended).

To upgrade Foglight for NMS Integration:
•
Install version 5.6.4.6 of the cartridge as you would a new Foglight for NMS Integration cartridge. Do not delete the older version of the .car file. Install version 5.6.4.6 over the older version.

For cartridge installation instructions, see “Installing Foglight cartridges” in the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help.

Once you have upgraded the cartridge, deploy the agent package. For a procedure describing how to deploy an agent package using the browser interface, see Appendix: Deploying an agent package using the browser interface.

 

Upgrade the cartridges in a federated or High Availability (HA) environment

This section provides procedures for:

•
Upgrade cartridges in a federated environment
•
Upgrade cartridges in a High Availability environment

Upgrade cartridges in a federated environment

Cartridge upgrades in a Federated environment need to be handled differently than typical cartridge upgrades. To maintain the Federated topology, you must disconnect/reconnect the queries as part of the upgrade procedure.

You must also ensure that the required cartridges are being upgraded in a Federated environment. For example, you may determine the following:

•
Federated Child # 1 requires upgrades to the Foglight for Infrastructure and Foglight for Oracle.
•
Federated Child # 2 requires upgrades to the Foglight for Infrastructure and Foglight for SQL Server.

In this example, after upgrading the two Federated Children, you need to upgrade the Foglight for Infrastructure, Foglight for Oracle, and Foglight for SQL Server on the Federation Master.

The procedure outlined below describes the required sequence of steps.

To upgrade cartridges in a Federated environment:
1
Disable the topology synchronization in the Federation Master by commenting out all child server URLs (the FederationURLs in the federation.config file).
2
Upgrade one or more cartridges on the stand-alone Management Servers (Federated Children).
 
* 
NOTE: All Federated Children that need to be upgraded must be upgraded before uncommenting the URLs in the federation.config file.
3
Upgrade same cartridges on the single, central Management Server (Federation Master).
 
4
Uncomment the child server URLs in the federation.config file.

Upgrade cartridges in a High Availability environment

When upgrading cartridges in an HA environment, if both the primary and the secondary Management Servers are running, you only need to install each cartridge you want to upgrade on the primary Management Server. The cartridges are then copied over to the secondary Management Server automatically.

The management log reports on the copying of the cartridges.
