Upgrading Foglight for Hyper-V

The latest version of the Foglight™ for Hyper-V is 5.7.3.

To upgrade Foglight for Hyper-V, you must first stop Hyper-V agent services, or uninstall any older Hyper-V Agent instances. Do not delete the older version of the .car file. Then, install version 5.7.3 of the cartridge on top of the older version. Refer to Installation and setup for the installation procedure.

For complete information about the upgrade procedure, see the Foglight Upgrade Guide.

NOTE: When upgrading the cartridge from a version earlier than 5.6.7, you must deploy the Hyper-V Agent package to monitored hosts using the Update Agent button on the Administration tab of the Hyper-V Environment dashboard, not the Agent Status dashboard.
