Foglight Tempalte
I just deployed the Foglight template and it looks like it's using a deprecated OS. Did I just happen to download the wrong one or are they really that behind?

A platform that does not take it's trial, demo or community versions seriously is not a platform worth considering.

Hi Mhammett-ICS,
For the time being, there are no plans to upgrade the OS for the free version of FVS. As pointed out before, there is a long term plan to provide a new, more robust and scalable platform for FVS.
About the OS upgrade, you can try upgrading OpenSuse using https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade
I recommend you do a full backup of your virtual machine before doing it and test everything is working before deleting the backup.
I hope that helps
Gaston.

Hi,
It looks like you are running the free version of Foglight for Virtualization Standard (FVS). The Enterprise Edition appliance is based in a newer OS (OpenSUSE 13).
Here is the official statement from Dell on FVS support.
"Dell is committed to supporting Foglight for Virtualization, Standard Edition (vKernel) by keeping the existing product functionality current with respect to hypervisor support and defect fixes. Our longer term strategy is to deliver a new, more robust and scalable platform for Standard Edition that will be built on the award winning Foglight platform. We have already taken popular Standard Edition features like optimizer and change analyzer and brought them to the Foglight platform with even greater functionality. In addition, we will soon deliver enhanced capacity planning functionality built on the core Standard Edition / vKernel functionality. When the core functionality of Standard Edition is fully available on the Foglight platform, Dell will offer a migration plan to the next generation Standard Edition."
I hope this answers your question,
Gaston.
