Make a backup of the vsj.properties file before you upgrade Foglight. You can find this file in the following location: <foglight_home>/server/default/deploy-foglight/console.war/WEB-INF/vsj.properties |

If there is no keytab file configured in the VSJ SSO, create the keytab file first using the ktpass command, as described in “Configure Active Directory to support Windows Single Sign-on” section in the Foglight online help. |

Edit the krb5-auth.config file to set the properties described in the following table. |

Ideally, you should create a backup just before performing an upgrade. For more information on creating a backup, see the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help. If you have encounter any problems during the upgrade process, contact Quest Support.

If you have customized the Management Server configuration files (such as <foglight_home>/config/server.config or <foglight_home>/config/log.config, <foglight_home>/config/jgroups-config.properties, or <foglight_home>/config/federation.config), back up these files so that you can verify the correct ports are configured after the upgrade is completed. If you have never customized these files, proceed to the next step. |

Optional: The JRE on disk is replaced completely during a Management Server upgrade. Any existing certificates are retained in $fmshome/state/backup/<previous-fms-version>/jre/lib/security/cacerts. |
7 |
Optional: You can upgrade the currently installed cartridges (except for the cartridges listed in Step 3) in one easy step before starting the Management Server. To do this, place the new versions of the cartridges into the folder <foglight_home>/upgrade/cartridge. The cartridges are then installed automatically when the Management Server starts up. |
8 |
If you backed up the configuration files mentioned in Step 2, compare the customizations to determine if they are still necessary, especially for the following customization files. If required, reapply these files before starting the Management Server. |

A new installation of, or upgrade to, version 5.9.x of the Management Server does not automatically create HostServices for every discovered host. If you want that functionality, install and enable the Service Compatibility Cartridge (<foglight_home>/compat/cartridge/Core-HostServices-Compatibility-5_9_8.car).
