This guide details the process starting on page 42 [URL]  Appendix: Switching from an Embedded  to an External Database You may find a performance improvement in Foglight if you use an external database. This section describes how to migrate from using an embedded MySQL database with the  Management Server to using an external MySQL database. 1 Stop the Management Server. 2 Start the embedded database manually:  \bin\runDb.sh  3 Export the database content:  \mysql\bin\mysqldump -uroot -p [password] --port=13306 --  databases foglight > \foglight.dump  4 Shut down the database:  \bin\shutdownDb.sh  5 Connect to the external MySQL instance via MySQL:  \mysql\bin\mysql -h [mysql host] -P [mysql port] -u root -p  6 Create the Foglight database instance by running: mysql> source \scripts\sql\mysql_create_db.sql  7 Re-import the data dump: mysql> source \foglight.dump  8 Configure the Management Server to use this new database by opening the following file:  \config\server.config  9 Update the following values in the above file: server.database.host = "[mysql host]"; server.database.port = "[mysql port]"; server.database.embedded = "false"; 10 Remove the part of your Foglight installation that was used for the embedded MySQL  database by deleting the directory \mysql.  11 Restart the Management Server. 12 Verify that the Management Server starts successfully:Foglight: Installation and Setup Guide 43 Appendix: Switching from an Embedded to an External Database a Open the most recent Management Server log file in \logs.  b Look for the message Forge Server startup completed and ensure that there are no  errors listed after it. 13 Verify that the Management Server connects to the migrated external MySQL database.  There are two ways to do so: • Open the most recent Management Server log file in \logs. Verify that  the parameter server.database.host lists your external MySQL database host as its  value and that server.database.embedded is set to false. • Log in to the browser interface and navigate to Dashboards > Administration > Setup  & Support > Foglight configuration. Verify that your external MySQL database host is  listed in the Database Host box and that External is listed in the Database Location box.
One of the vFog videos recommends that users should upgrade their current vFog 5.01 embedded mySQL 32bit install to 64bit since we have it on Windows 2008R2.  Could anyone out there give us any help on how this is done and what we need to do to vFog to make sure it works out well?  Thanks, Mike
Proper procedure for upgrading vFog embedded mySQL to 64bit?
