Getting Started Guide
Getting Started with the Installation and Setup Process
This chapter provides an overview of the vFoglight installation and setup process. It
summarizes the main steps involved in installing (or upgrading) and configuring
vFoglight and contains directions to the appropriate instructions in the Administration
and Configuration Guide and in the Installation and Setup Guide set. This chapter is
intended as a preface or supplement to these guides.
References to the Installation and Setup Guide Set
The vFoglight documentation suite comprises a multi-guide Installation and Setup
Guide set. The database- and platform-specific guides included in this set are listed in
“vFoglight Documentation Suite” on page 7.
Throughout this guide, instructions direct you to the Installation and Setup Guide where
the same type of chapter or section exists in all guides in the set. In these cases, refer to
the Installation and Setup Guide for the database and platform you are running.
Where a chapter or section exists only in a subset of the guides, those guides are referred
to specifically, either by name or type.
Before You Get Started
Before you install or upgrade vFoglight, review the components you plan to install (or
upgrade) and ensure that you have the necessary information, such as port numbers and
server names or the target installation locations. In addition, before you begin, you need
to:
• Determine if you are going to set up and run the vFoglight Management Server in
High Availability (HA) mode or as a standalone server.
Note HA mode is only available in vFoglight Pro.
• Decide whether to use an embedded or external database.
The System Requirements and Platform Support Guide contains information you should
review prior to installation, such as:
• Supported platforms and Web browsers.
• Installation recommendations.
• Hardware requirements for the vFoglight Management Server and database.
• JRE requirements.
