Installation instructions

Foglight for Storage Management is typically installed using a package installer that includes Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition. For information about installing Foglight for Storage Management, see the Foglight for Storage Management Installation Guide.

Note: Both products require Management Server 5.9.3, which is included in the installer.

While not recommended, it is possible to install the Foglight for Storage Management cartridge in a general Foglight installation. However you must upgrade to Foglight 5.9.3 before installing the cartridge, which may affect other installed cartridges. You may want to consult Professional Services before attempting this upgrade.

Notes:

  • New installs must be done as Administrator, or use an account that is part of the Administrator group. However, the server should not be run under an Admin account. "Local Service" is the recommended account for running as a service.
  • If the server is configured to start as a service, it is recommended that it only be started and stopped through the "Services" console, never by directly running the fms.exe executable.
  • On Linux, the installation must not be done as root and running the server using the root account is not supported.

 

To install the Foglight for Storage Management cartridge in a Foglight installation:

  1. Upgrade to Foglight 5.9.3. For instructions, see the Foglight Upgrade Guide.
  2. Upgrade the Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition cartridges to compatible versions. For a list of cartridges and instructions, see the Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition Upgrade Guide.
