Foglight 5.9.7 - Installing Foglight on Windows with an External Microsoft SQL Server Database


	IMPORTANT: See the Administration and Configuration Guide for information about license requirements, managing licenses, and the different categories of cartridges (based on their license requirements).

Providing a license file during installation

You can install a license file during installation if you perform a Custom Install. See Step 14: Add Foglight license file in Installing a new version of the Management Server.

Importing a license file after installation

You can also import a license after installing Foglight. There are three ways of providing a license file to the Management Server after installation.

Using the manual process

•

Move an existing license file into the <foglight_home>\license folder.

Using the Foglight Administration module

•

Upload a license file using the Foglight Administration module. See the Administration and Configuration Guide for instructions.

Using the command line

Start the Foglight Management Server.

Ensure that JAVA_HOME is set.

If you have not already done so, extract the file fglcmd.zip in <foglight_home>\tools.

Upload a license by navigating to <foglight_home>\tools and entering the following command:

fglcmd -usr <username> -pwd <password> -cmd license:import ‑f <license_file>

The preceding command assumes that you are using the default port 8080 and localhost. If you are not running with these default values, use the following options to indicate server and port:

-port <xx> -srv <server_name>

For example, if you want to connect to the Management Server using the default HTTPS port, include the option -port 8443 with the fglcmd command.


	NOTE: See the Command-Line Reference Guide for information about running the fglcmd utility and the options that can be used with fglcmd, including additional license-management commands.

Installation modes

The default mode for the installer is the graphical user interface mode. However, in cases where a graphics display is not available, the Foglight installer can be started in command-line mode by using the console mode or silent mode.

Console mode

In console mode, the install instructions are in text format, but otherwise are the same as the graphical user interface install.

To execute the console mode, type the following command:

Windows® - Foglight only

Foglight-5_9_x-install_windows-x86_64.exe -i console

Windows® - Foglight Evolve

Foglight_Evolve-x_x_x-install_windows-x86_64.exe -i console

Silent mode

In silent mode, a properties file is used to feed in the installation parameters. The file consists of a list of key-value pairs, which are described in the following table.


	IMPORTANT: Silent mode does not work if you set parameters in the properties file for Foglight to connect to an external database, and an existing Foglight schema is present in that database. There is no Foglight silent installer parameter for using an existing database schema in order to prevent the contents of an existing database from being lost. If you attempt to run the silent installer using a properties file that specifies an external database where an existing Foglight schema is present, a fatal error appears in the installation logs. See Installing Foglight FAQ for more information about the error message and workarounds.

To run the installer in silent mode:

Foglight only

Foglight-5_9_x-install_windows-x86_64.exe -i silent

Foglight for Evolve only

Foglight-Evolve-x_x_x-install_windows-x86_64.exe -i silent

To use a specific properties file in silent mode, append the following option:

-f <fms_silent_install>.properties

The installer loads the specified properties file. When the file name and installer prefix are the same, the installer uses the properties automatically.


	NOTE: In certain configurations the Management Server uses ports in addition to the ones that you set using the silent installer; for example, when Foglight is running in High Availability (HA) mode. See the Administration and Configuration Guide for details.

The following table lists the properties available for configuring a silent installation, and their default values.
