Step 10: Foglight mode

Step 10: Foglight mode
1
Select the server mode. The options are Standalone (the default) or HA (High Availability).
 
* 
NOTE: A server running in HA mode can only use an external database.
2
If you choose HA (High Availability): In the HA Partition field, type the partition name. All servers set up in HA (High Availability) mode that you want to act as either primary or secondary servers for failover must be configured with the same partition name.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Servers with different partition names do not participate in the high availability setup.
 
* 
NOTE: If you do not choose HA (High Availability) while installing Foglight but want to use HA mode later, you can enable HA mode after installation. For more information, see the Foglight High Availability Field Guide.

Step 11: FIPS Compliance mode

Step 11: FIPS Compliance mode

This step allows you to enable FIPS Compliance mode. Select the checkbox if you want to enable FIPS compliance mode.

* 
NOTE: Once the FIPS Compliance mode is enabled during installation, you cannot disable it without a complete reinstall of Foglight.

Step 12: Foglight repository database type

Step 12: Foglight repository database type

This step allows you to select the Foglight database type. The server on which the database is located must be running before you complete this step.At the completion of this step, the installer creates the user (foglight is the default user ID) in the database and sets the appropriate permissions.

•
Select PostgreSQL (External database) and then click Next. See the following section for instructions.
 
* 
NOTE: The embedded database option does not appear if you selected HA as the server startup mode in Step 10: Foglight mode.

Step 13: Foglight ports configuration

Step 13: Foglight ports configuration
1
Configure the server ports. The Foglight Ports Configuration screen displays default ports that you can assign.
 
* 
NOTE: In certain configurations, the Management Server uses other ports than the ones that you can set on this screen; for example, when Foglight is running in High Availability (HA) mode. See the Administration and Configuration Help for details.
2
If you are installing Foglight in High Availability (HA) mode and are planning to have multiple HA partitions on the same sub-network, configure a different Cluster Multi-cast Port for each HA partition. The primary server and secondary servers within each HA partition must be configured to use the same Cluster Multi-cast Port.
You can set this port from the Foglight Ports Configuration screen, or change it after installation in the server.config file. See Configuring the cluster multicast port used in High Availability mode for information about changing this port after installing Foglight.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Errors can occur if servers that are not part of the same HA partition are configured to multicast on the same port on the same sub-network as the HA partition. See Running the Management Server FAQ for more information about these errors.
3
If you want to revert to the default values, click Defaults.
4
Click Next.
 
* 
NOTE: If there are any port assignment conflicts, an error message dialog box appears. Click Review Ports, if you want to return to the Foglight Ports Configuration screen to configure the conflicting port(s), or click Ignore and Continue to continue with the installation without resolving the port conflicts. Select one of these options to continue.
