Upgrading from a Previous Version of vRealize Log Insight
Keep in mind the following considerations when upgrading to this version of vRealize Log Insight.
Upgrade Path
You can upgrade to 4.7.1 directly from a vRealize Log Insight 4.6.x release or from release 4.7. If you are running an earlier version of vRealize Log Insight, you must first incrementally upgrade your installation to a minimum of release 4.6.
Important Upgrade Notes
- To upgrade to vRealize Log Insight 4.7.1, you must be running a vRealize Log Insight 4.6.x release or 4.7.
- When performing a manual upgrade, you must upgrade workers one at a time. Upgrading more than one worker at the same time causes an upgrade failure. When you upgrade the master node to vRealize Log Insight 4.7.1, a rolling upgrade occurs unless specifically disabled.
- Upgrading must be done from the master node's FQDN. Upgrading with the Integrated Load Balancer IP address is not supported.
- vRealize Log Insight does not support two-node clusters. Add a third vRealize Log Insight node of the same version as the existing two nodes before performing an upgrade.
- If the vRealize Log Insight upgrade (.pak file) has a new JRE version, then the user-installed certificates in a vRealize Log Insight setup (such as for event forwarding) become invisible after upgrade.
Resolved Issues
The following issues have been fixed in this release:
- FIPS detection now works for the vRealize Log Insight agents running on RedHat 6.10
- Issues with importing and authenticating an Active Directory group into vRealize Log Insight using vIDM have been fixed.
- "vRealize Operations Manager 6.7 Content Pack" has been renamed to "vRealize Operations Manager 6.7+ Content Pack" to reflect that the content pack supports release 6.7 and later releases.
Known Issues
See vRealize Log Insight 4.7 release notes for information about known issues in this release.
