Upgrade a Management Server in a federated environment

Upgrade a Management Server in a federated environment

The procedure for upgrading a Federation Master and Federated Child(ren) is the same as described in Upgrade the Management Server. There are a few items in particular that should be noted when working in a Federated environment.

 
* 
NOTE: Foglight for Automation is not supported when Foglight is configured to use the Federation Master or High Availability features. This limitation will be addressed in a future release. For more information, see the Foglight Release Notes.

Federation compatibility

A version 5.9.x Federation Master requires that all Federated Children be upgraded to version 5.9.x as well.

Upgrade sequence

To upgrade your Federation servers to 7.1.0, follow the appropriate procedure below.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: You must upgrade your Federation Master before the Federated Children. Otherwise, the Federation Master may fail to start after an upgrade.

 

* 
NOTE: Configuration of SecurityToken through the federation.config file (adopted in Foglight 5.7.5.8 and before) was removed in Foglight 5.9.x. Therefore, configuring an SSL for Federation is required when you upgrade the Federation environment to version 7.1.0 , if your Federation environment configures SecurityToken before.
When upgrading the Management Server:
1
Shut down and upgrade the Federation Master.
2
Shut down and upgrade each Federated Child, one by one.
3
Restart the Federation Master.
4
(Optional) If you have enabled SecurityToken in the configuration file ($fmshome/config/federation.config), you must configure an SSL for communication on Federation Master and Children. For more information, see the Security settings section in the Foglight Federation Field Guide.
5
Restart the each Federated Child, one by one.
