• 64-bit OS. See the APTARE StorageConsole Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.

• Support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7.

• For performance reasons, APTARE recommends that you do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the StorageConsole Portal. However, if you must have both on the same server, verify that the Portal and Data Collector software do not reside in the same directory.

• Install only one Data Collector on a server (or OS instance).

• For most Backup Manager systems, install the Data Collector on a server that is in the same time zone as the backup server from which you are collecting data. For Veritas NetBackup and IBM TSM collection, the Data Collector server and backup server can be in different time zones.

• Port used by the Data Domain Data Collector: Port 22 for SSH.
